Greetings

Let me start out by saying I'm the first to start QQing just out the pure enjoyment of being a natural antagonist but...

Some of you have lost your minds!

Daylight savings time, it sucks, its 5 days of late siege but seriously community why the rage over something pretty innocent and understandable.

Nerf'em threads, really any skill or class that may kill you gets a Nerf thread, you all turn into giant green rage monsters and bust out charts and stats. However siege happens 1 hour a day, so yeah lets gimp the class for the other 23 hours.

Not accepting the game for what it is, this is a gear mod game, really simple concept, its never gonna change. You pay money and in a short time you can be OP. Its a business model. It works for some, while others probably need to move on.

Bugs and broken things, all games have them, I fail to see anything other then a bit of annoying lag, certainly not enough to drop to the ground like a 3yo in a tantrum.


There is this constant negativity in game, people love to hate but won't go else where, they linger and complain, they talk about getting one shotted while doing nothing to better themselves. FA is literally the messenger and we tar and feather them daily for things they cannot change.

I don't play much, mostly log for siege then back to the real world. I understand I'm going to have outdated gear by doing this but I accept the game for what it is.


Some of you could use a bit of time off from RoM.

If it's stressing you out that much, then I have a question.

Why, after you can clearly see that the poster is whining/ranting, are you still reading the post? You can make a conscious decision to ignore it, you know. Runewaker knows they can't nerf every class' skills, or they'll look like a WOW clone. Yes, there's a considerable amount of people who get killed in siege a lot thanks to their class not being suited to take on the other person's class.

Frankly, I think you need time off from the forums. There's more to ROM than just siege wars, like the friends in your guild and customizing your toon (either with a bit of F2P work or otherwise.)

...I'm kind of inclined to agree with LadyMacV..

i generally agree and enjoy most of the things you have to say Regentego, but as of late it does seem to be alot of complaining about the complainers about complaining..lol..


you just cant fight off the qq'ers..there's too many..its a zombie horde. hell i turn into one of them from time to time..ok maybe alot more than time to time, so let me tell you from experience..

you can never kill them, they will never stop complaining, and i think u may have made physical contact with one, because you're starting to QQ like one O.o

/Quarantine

Whining about people whining!! have you lost your mind?? lol

To tell you the truth..as many threads as i have seen and have either edited or just closed due to stupidty..I agree with Regentego

Good job

The QQ'ers will never quit. In fact, it has been my experience that it is part of a gaming communities life.


This is the second game that I have hung around with for some time. First was a FPS game. One thing that both games have in common is the progression of the community.

Every community seems to progress from loyal old timers to a new breed of players that complain about every thing

The Old timers are more relaxed about the issues. Yeah, they may voice an opinion but, they didn't harp upon the issues. Or treat it like it was the end of the world

The new players have an entirely different outlook. They complain about every thing.


When I started playing RoM, the community was great. very little QQ'ing, every one helping every one else, etc.

We are making that transition now. The new players are coming in. The new players to the old timers are going to be whinners. We have lost a lot of old timers. There are still a few hanging around and there will be a few players from the "new breed" who won't complain about every thing.

And we still have the helpful members.

This happened with Deltaforce Black Hawk down, the FPS game I played for 8 years that I still run a squad in.

Played for 4-5 years before "Generation Q" started arriving. When this new group of players arrived, all of a sudden every little glitch was complained about. Issues that players for 4-5 years have just been living with, figured out work around and accepting as part of the game are now bannable offenses by server admins who are part of GenerationQ. It is to the point that a slightly suspicious kill will get you called a cheater. Doesn't matter if you have been playing for 10+ years an thoroughly knew the game

I was driven from my own server that I own due to the new crowd's QQ'ing



Thats not to say that those who are QQ'ing don't have a reason to...how ever QQ'ing isn't the way to go. Making an intelligent, informed post about an issue will get your thoughts more respect then coming in and acting like a baby.

As for the QQ'ing in the forums here - ignore them

I've noticed incredible similarities between the forum community and the media/fan base of major professional sports teams... The one in question being the Toronto Maple Leafs (go leafs!)

Nice attempt at reverse psychology, and to your point any class can take out another, just gear accordingly. Fully crim/bunker stated toon can own anyone with a bit of learning to play their class.

Gear makes some of the difference, yes. The rest lies in knowing what you can do against those classes you aren't statted to handle (food, healers are handy for buffs, potions, etc.)

Classes have weaknesses against other classes for a reason. You can't stat gear for everything, otherwise you'll wind up weaker overall.

@Aquila, that is true.

The problem is that it existed in every single game that I have ever played in and I only realised how bad it was until I actually started regularly visiting the forums.

You would see the old-gen players enjoying the game and all the new-gen players complaining and every little detail that doesn't satisfy them.

@LadyMacV, that is true to some extent, however, Gear doesn't automatically make you godlike though. Examples would be the players in my Sardo/GrafuHM group who barely itch to get half my DPS and were not Rogues in Chapter 3 and decided to become the new flavour of the month. It's very easy to tell who has been playing for a long-time and someone who decided that pushing 6 buttons was too difficult and wanted to push 4 buttons instead.

In my experience many a QQ can be stopped dead in its tracks simply by responding with whatever relevent information that is required to address a communities concerns.

An informed community is a happy community..

Ya ... you most likely haven't been part of a community for a game that has anything past 10,000 members active on the forums. >.>

As someone who use to be part of the HoN forums in Closed Beta. It was ... bad. Even when we were informed, people still QQ'd (and I mean ... it ... it was horrible.)
