Why do naysayers bash games that are not even out? I fully understand why games like Age of Conan get bashed on once their released. People feel that they were cheated, robbed, lied too etc. so they feel and IMO have a right to express their discontent for a game that they have invested money in. On the other hand why are there so many naysayers going after games not even released like War hammer (WAR) and Dark fall (DF) just to mention a couple. They have nothing invested in those games yet so why do the naysayers make an effort to go to a WAR board or a DF board to post how crappy something is? Its not hard to see that they will get little to no support on those boards.
I can only come up with a few reason as to why naysayers do it. Probably the main reason the naysayers bash MMO games not out is: they are insecure about their current MMO game stability. They see every new game coming out as competition to their current MMO. They have to bash something on the new ones to justify to themselves and everyone else to not play the new MMO. Its not hard to see these people forum hoping and bashing on the new MMO’s boards. Just look at the user names when reading forums you will/have seen what I am talking about.
Another reason, kind of goes with the above point but the naysayers are trying to campaign for one MMO that is being released soon that has them hyped up , and bash all the others that have a close release date. Its human nature to not want to be on the loosing side. I have seen users bash DF on the DF board and the same users praise WAR on both boards and vise versa.
Probably the worst reason naysayers hate on new MMO’s is to just razz up the “fanboys” while not even caring about the new MMO itself. This group is most likely the minority of the top two, but there are people out there who do this. It is a sad way to get you entertainment razzing up people on boards, but it happens.
If you a fan of a new MMO coming out great, I hope you like it. If you’re a naysayer of a new MMO, stay off the boards of the game you don’t like. Try bashing the new MMO on your favorite MMO boards. A lot more people will agree with you there. Naysayers on WAR or DF boards, is like an atheist going to a church trying to tell the people that there is no God. It just doesn’t work. If you don’t like the concept, graphics or whatever it is, its cool don’t invest any of your time or money in the game and stay where your at.
