Whole lotta bias and exaggeration up in here.

WoW UI is pretty ugly. Annoying and hard to pick up if your not a pc gamer. They should give a controler UI and option for those who perfer controlers. Most of WoW hate is justified, its killing the mmo genre. No mmo should be THAT solo able. : / or rude. A rp'er shouldn't get treated like crap on an rp server by fellow rp'ers and bullied.
It's merely a matter of preference. Both games have their ups and downs, and not everyone is looking for the same thing when they play an MMORPG. What originally drew me in to XIV was the fact that it was much more solo-friendly than XI was. I had played a free trial of WoW, but failed to make any sort of connection with the game and lost interest. When the beta became public for XIV, I only played for two hours before I knew i was in love, flaws and all.
I don't see why people can't just agree to disagree, and carry on and enjoy their games. Isn't having fun what games are about, anyways? :/
For the record, I probably have a slight dislike for WoW not because of the game itself, but for some of the players from that game. It's unfortunate, and I know I shouldn't let the actions of the few color my opinion of something like a game, but each time I try to be open about it, someone comes along and does nothing to prove me wrong. :<
I don't hate wow or the players that try XIV but WoW isn't for me. I played it on and off since BC pretty much and could never play it for more then a few months tops before quiting. Its nothing wrong with the game I just like to feel as though I worked for my stuff and I never got that feeling in WoW.
the long fights managing MP and keeping my party healed, hasted and cured of any ailments for an extended period of time made the drops feel well earned. As a DD it didn't feel as rewarding as I just open/closed SCs so mages can blow stuff up faster.

What makes you any better than them then? Your intolerance is just pointed in a different direction, namely back at them. They scoff at you and you scoff at them. You're the same personality type with different backgrounds and interests.Honestly I think devs shoulda stuck to the old "hardcore ways". Back when ppl were a bit nicer. With launch of WoW it opened mmo to more ppl. This is what killing the genre. More ppl isn't always better. MMo do need to be a tad bit more user friendly, but not over the top. It should be a time consuming game, and the gamer shouldn't let that stop them. Rushing content is pointless. WoW brought in the wrong crowd to mmo. And they are taking over the communities. The fps crowd ruining pvp, the casual "core" gamer is brinbging their anti mmo gamer attitude. the " get a life" cuz u play for 6 hrs. Or the typical mmo gamer is a fat man who lives in moms basement.
Nearly all mmo are getting the "noob lern2play" crowd and is what is killing our communities. This was why wow is kinda hated. It brought in too meny of the wrong ppl, who are changing the mmo , not in a good way. I rather have fun in a niche mmo then be misiable in a popular one.

What you say is pretty correct, but only down side is MMo are community based games. If the community sucks it ruins the game. In mmo yes it about fun... but with pother players. Multi player isn't solo. Its playing with or against other players. Like you can't solo (oldy but a goodie) jamse bond 007 golden eyes capture the flag multi player map. It would be pointless. Same with little big planet, its more fun with other players.
It is easy for bad apples tto ruin your fun. They just spread drama and make it hard for you to get anything done. Like I was stalked in ffxi and dealing with high school min/max drama. I couldn't log on for a while cuz when I did I was harassed. My black list was full.
did I say I was better then anyone? I played ffxi for a long time WoW for 1-2 years. Several MUD, and about 12-20 free to play mmo. MMO are community games when you got ppl with their high school bully persona going "lern2play noob" its makes you wonder why they play mmo if they gonna act like that. I never ran into that pre WoW only after launch.
WoW did bring in a crowd who wouldn't play an mmo. As they assume all mmo gamers are fat men. And all role players are tiny nerds who pretend to be wizards or a cult.
Sorry not trying ta be rude but I dis see this transition. And I personally experienced how bad WoW community is as well as mmo after that.
I play mmo to have fun and play with other players. Not get bullied just for sake of it.
I'm sorry to hear that you had to deal with that sort of thing. :< That really puts a damper on a gaming experience, amongst other things. It rather reminds me of one thing I always tell myself when I play a game: "If it becomes a job to play it, or is otherwise no longer fun, then it is no longer worth my time." Sour experiences with an MMO's community can really ruin a game.Ama

I had actually been in FFXI for a good time up until everyone started to leave. I was still rather new and hadn't made much progress due to limited game time, and there was a two week period where I didn't even log on due to work and family. When I DID log on, everyone was gone. The LS I was in was dead, and the friends I had been really happy to play with, well, I never saw them again. After server hopping and continuing to see my friends quit, I just gave up on the game. :<
oh and that drama and harassing was AFTER launch of WoW. Game was fine before hand.
