Why MMO gamers are the hardest to please...

[deekapowski]

Everyone says MMOs are games. I don't think they are. Let's compare MMO gamers to the rest of the world.

I've never heard complaints that baseball needs more content.

I've never heard of RMTs on Call of Duty.

Millions of people around the world pay $10 and up for a movie, we complain about $15 a month.

I've never heard of someone going to an all you can eat buffet and complaining there's not enough desert.

Seriously, is it really "just a game"? We live in an age where you pay $60 for a 10-100 hour game. Has anyone here not had at least 10 -100 hours of fun?

you just gave us a list of your opinions.

Actually, I was going for humorous shot of perspective. I see a lot of complaining on here like FFXIV was South Park's end of the world... of warcraft. I see people writing rage quit posts and all sorts of things that imply FFXIV is more than a game. I'm just wondering why people are so emotional. You paid $60 it came with the first month.. you played a heck of a lot longer than you did, half the games on xone, ps4 and it's predecessors... Why so much complaining. Room for improvement? Always, but less whine more constructive. That's what.

If all humans were like you and accept the status quo for what it is, we'd still be in the caves. Humans evolve because of our complaints and our needs. Video games are no different.

MLB and NFL changes its rules every year. You're probably just not aware of the changes because they do not release patch notes for baseball. Customers complain about food selection at buffets all the time. CoD accounts do get powerleveled all the time, though they're not sold often because they have no value. People do sell XBLive or Steam accounts though.

Try getting some real world experience in these things before you come onto a forum spouting on about topics you clearly have no first-hand experience in.

1. I think you're missing the point. There is a difference between accepting things as they are, striving for change, and simply complaining/whining. MLK, Ghandi, Mother Teresa (to name a few) did not whine. He gathered some people and said "don't you agree?" Please help me find where they said things were "stupid", "waste" or verbally assaulted those who made/maintained said policies.

2. I find it proving my point that this post has received more views (and replies) than all my other suggestion posts.. Why is it easier and more fascinating for people to be negative than constructive?

3. Just for reference, I've traveled across 2/3 the world.. I think I'm good on real world experience, but once again you are proving my point. And I would consider changing a rule to be vastly different than "adding new content" but that's just me.. If they add a fourth base to baseball or added an extra football you had to get across the line, that would be closer to "adding content", not deciding how to use instant replay. I haven't played much CoD, but I'm pretty sure I never got a popup saying I could buy a million game dollars for $19.95.

At the end of the day I guess I'm saying it's "amazing" how people feel how the fact it's the internet frees them from being polite. I've seen people be vocal about their dislike all the time, but not so much where it worked out for them. There's a man suing the NFL right now about the high price of Super Bowl tickets... Not going well for him, but at least he got some press because he didn't just stand in front of a stadium, scream some obscenities and walk away, or start yelling at the NFL fans. So why not bring more than a "I don't like" , bring ideas and civility. That's all. Have a nice day.

We cannot continue this conversation until you stop comparing yourself to MLK and Ghandi. They fought against social injustices and crimes against humanity. We're talking about improving a business, a game developer's product in a virtual setting.

Ohhhhhh I get it. I see, your here because you can't handle legitimate complaints for an mmo. You do realize what forums are for right? *sigh*

baseball does need more content. They need to add materia melding to the bats.

[Thunderz]

What was the point of this again?

[Vinroke]

But they did add more content to Baseball:


Also, CoD does have RMT as do most other competitive shooters, it just goes by the name "micro-transactions" there.
