Fanboi'ism is bad for the game

I am sure to be in for a brutal assault for this one but its just a simple fact.

 

You can like a product, you can support a product but blind fanboi'ism is not good for the long term of the game.

 

This game has so many issues and if it was not Star Wars 90% of us would already be gone.

 

I am not saying Bioware is not trying, they do make good progress each patch but the refusal to implement the most basic features of today's MMOs is baffling to me.

 

Then you have the fanboi. Any comment against the game is met with a wave of trolls and 1 stars (stars removed thank goodness).

 

It'a ok to like the game but if the game only suits the rabid fanboi it wont be around long.

 

Flame away...

The opposite of fanboyism is blind hate, which is even worse.

 

This forum has a lot of both.

 

I can note this game's upsides and downsides, but I'm not going to ignore either, and nor am I going to 'cancel' my subscription, and then spend each of my lonely, saturday nights posting on the SWTOR forums about how much I hate their game that I don't play. :rolleyes:

 

Furthermore, I don't play this game because of Starwars. I play it because it's a fun, and potentially amazing game. The reason nobody likes it is because the fully developed WoW has become the standard for a successful MMO, and there is no game that could possibly live up to that standard.

Haters & fanbois are one in the same. Each will hate on the other so you hating on fanbois serves no purpose.

What does fanboi'ism and not having certain features have to do with one another?

 

For one, I am completely against cross server auto grouping looking for group tool.

 

This is not a LFD thread. Defending the poor choices Bioware has made with the game and features left out is not good for anyone.

be happy that they are adding a lfg tool, otherwise you wouldn't see many people around in a while to play with you.

 

you can rest assured that this tool will stabilize their subscriptions for a short while... until people get bored for good.

What kind of features?

 

Also you still haven't answered my question. What does fanboi'ism and not having certain features have to do with one another?

The community has told them the features they want. Now we have to wait for them to be implemented, same as any other MMO.

 

Lacking specific features is the price you pay for getting in on day one. This has been the case for every MMO.

I did, its defending the choice to not add the most basic features of popular MMOs.

 

You can love or hate whatever feature it may be but no game will ever get into the big leagues without them.

Actually it will not effect me what so ever since I have cancelled my sub today. I simply do not spend enough time playing anymore. But this does not change my stance that cross server lfg tool is bad for the game. It does not fix the buy like you said, it will prolong subs for short term.
