Why so much hate?
Just a general question. I am not trying to troll or flame, but I have been wondering about this for near 6 months now. After reading these forums since November pretty actively I see so much negativity about the game and pretty much anything Arena Net does. I've read so many posts about everything wrong with the game, conspiracy theories, and doomsday prophets it's like tuning into the evening news. It's not just the members, but I have seen some pretty negative stuff from the moderators too.
I am not trying to defend this game (I for one love it and play it often and probably will for a long time).However, I have to wonder why any effort or energy is spent about something that posters obviously hate. If there is a game I don't like, I drop it and move on. Why come back and keep posting the same ol' complaints everytime a patch comes out? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't get it.
Granted, the content I read is limited because I read the top posts given to me through apps like Pulse and Flipboard. I don't seem to find much negativity when I read through subforums like Vigil Academy and Hall of Heroes. In fact, those forums seemed to be filled with posts that are genuinely helpful and praiseful about the game. So I understand that many members here are not actively hating the game.
So, because of all this stuff I've seen, I find myself using GW2guru less and less these days. In fact, I haven't used it for the past month, but since the last patch I decided to drop back in and see what people are saying. It's getting pretty predictable - you can expect a lot of negativity once any new patch comes out. Which brings me back to one of my original points, if you don't like what ArenaNet is doing, why continue to invest your time into playing it?
