CrazyCT Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Thinking of making up a game to spot the "Forum Phrase" and looking for a list of the best. So far I've got - . Referral link signature (yes, I'm guilty of it - actually guilty of too many things on this list )Wall of text (bonus point if it's all in CAPS)Slap in the faceSense of entitlementIn my opinionTinfoil hatReplayabilityBiofail or bEAwareFanboiMetrics (Word of the month)Necro'd thread to give advice (bonus if the OP hasn't been active on the forums for over a year - extra bonus point if the problem was already solved in the thread)Starting a new thread instead of searchingComplaining about necro-ing a threadComplaining about starting a new thread instead of necro-ing an old oneFinal nail in the coffinDevs are idiotsManagement doesn't careManagement do care (but only about $$$)GTN Scam Crying about inflation (*WAH* The thing I want on the GTN costs too much *WAH*)New packs are a scam'Gambling packs' didn't give me what I wantRNG thoVote with your walletCartel Market is a rip offBoycott the Cartel MarketHyperboleCanon (bonus point if it's spelt "cannon")Nerf/BuffQQIncrease the credit capAnnouncing that you reported a postCookie-cutter companionsMMO doesn't mean you have to groupStory isn't contentEarly access? Pfft, you mean open beta-testingIf you aren't playing for the story, you're doing it wrongI have a "friend" who's F2P, why can't they do X? (Translation: "Will I lose X if I drop my sub?") Complaining about things that didn't affect them ("X happened to a guy I know, why isn't this fixed?")You don't speak for meThread titled "Bioware, We're sick of <thing> !!!" (MUST have at least 3 exclamation points)Tedious discussions of how hard programming is to excuse EA/BW lack of bug fixesStarting a new thread about a problem that already has 3 threads on the front pageCross-serverMega-serverHello KittyTurn off your companions if you want a challengeCrying about getting XP boostCrying about Level SynchWoW comparisonsElitistSarcastic use of 1337/n00bExcessive use of the rolleyes smilie () to point out one's wit.

I realise it will be VERY easy to check off nearly everything on this list every day, but I'm pretty sure the last one will hold people back for a good few weeks.

Rankyn Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 #29 makes your game unwinnable. Admit it... you released your game before this feature was released in the hope that it would be patched in post-launch. Probably gonna sell it to us as DLC and that makes your game Pay-to-Win.
