whats wrong with wow?

[Chardrizard]

WoW players hates FFXI players and vice versa, also this haters (from both side) never actually touched 80% of the other game..

from my point of view (i played FFXI for 6years before someone goin to call me a WoW-fanboy):
WoW is alot harder and engaging than FFXI, but i never really preferred WoW's graphical style and world, mostly because i played another FF series which i can easily relates to when i played FFXI.

Both games has pro/cons, it just matters of preferences, calling one better than another is just plain ignorance.

Players will have their preferences for games they play, develop prejudices for other games for one reason or another, played or unplayed.

In my opinion, Blizzard has set genre standards for what interfaces should be: Flowing and intuitive. Blizzard has incorporated popular user customizations and suggestions to evolve its interface.

To put a different perspective on this: WoW is the Justin Bieber of MMORPGs. Do guys hate Justin Bieber? Or do they hate the way his fans behave and the way his fans belittle non-fans and their musical interests? These guys start to associate negativity with Bieber himself and in turn, anything Bieber does, guys hate it, whether they listen to the song or not.

WoW community very different prior to the South Park episode that made WoW mainstream. Other MMORPG players didn't care about WoW bashing until WoW became Justin Bieber. And in my opinion, WoW bashing tends to bring out such a negativity in people that I find it detrimental to building a new community. I'd rather we be united in our hopes, goals, and love of FFXIV.
