How did the community become this toxic?

I love to burst your bubble like this but, ESO is utter trash. That game is boring and slow and not that impressive.

Skyrim is slow, I love it.
FFXI was slow, I loved it.
Fallout is slow. . . Oblivion, Secret of Mana, Dragon Warriors/Quests, Suikoden, Zeldas... all slow; all loved -- and there are many more "slow" games.

And if you want to talk boring... ffxiv is boring. There isn't even individuality between one person's dragoon and another person's dragoon. Everyone is the same. I like ffxiv, but sometimes I picture the SE team viewing us all as ants with money.... the irony is that we're just like ants in the game; each the same as the next.

Yeah but I meant slow AND bad. The mages are ridiculously boring.

1. Summon pet.

2. Have pet kill while you read a book.

3. ???

4. Profit.

I played this game in the Beta because I figured "sure, why not?" It's not as great as everyone seems to think it is and their forums will be complaint riddled just like this one.

Rumor has it that the game cost $200 million to develop. Did you feel that the game justify the cost? (graphics, performance, game mechanics etc. Class balance and content can be tweaked easily but not so easy for the core)

I don't meta-game and speculate. All I know/feel is that if a game can't keep me interested enough to play during a free beta, I'm probably not going to be one of the early ones in, if I play at all. The game looks alright I suppose it's just that the world felt super dead. It felt like they used one color for the game, grey. The aiming system was clunky and unreliable, the HUD mini-map was nearly useless. I would have recorded footage of this but they paste your e-mail address in the background so they know who to ban for breaking the NDA. They even kept sending me letters asking why I wasn't playing. It was embarrassing.

Some people will enjoy it, others won't. I'm just saying, temper your expectations or you will be
mad.

Some people like that, Summoner in FFXI was like that... Pet did things, the summoners themselves were a cure bot at best. Path of Exile has popular pet builds. Conjury in skyrim, oblivion and a few other games.

Forums will always be complaint riddled and there will always be someone there to tell them that they're wrong, stupid, or everything else sucks even when the person complaining is right. . . I think all you've described is that you don't like games like that.

I enjoyed the hell out of summoner. This job plays nothing like summoner. You literally summon something, and then do nothing. With summoner you had to at least try to be competent. With mages, you really don't have to do anything but kick back and enjoy the free ride.
