Aritcle
Well for the last week now I have been around looking at stuff all over the internet and now feel I want to post something thats been a bit bugging me for a while now and might as well open this like a discussion. With that said the topic on hand is about MMO games like WoW, AoC, WAR, FF XI, Runes of Magic, ect. free to play and pay to play or buy to play alike. The blog statment here is gonan be my viewpoint on it and to give an idea how I am looking at things, but for the people who will post thier opions there are some rules I am throwing out here becasue alot of this site is already full of trash comments with probly only the intent to make people mad or just to be an a-hole.
1- No wow clone, UO clone or whatever clone statment if you do want to talk about how something like like a clone of a game be consturctive.
2- No bashing anyone who might comment to like a game you don't everyone has the right to like what they like.
3- Overall constructive critisim no cheap shots or underthe belt blows if your gonna critisce someone's game choice it's to be in a constritive manner to know where your comming from.
4- Keep it clean as possible and be respecful to eachother.
5- READ THE WHOLE POSTED BLOG DO NOT COMMENT IF YOU ARE GONNA BE TO LAZY TO READ FIRST.
6- DO NOT JUMP TO CONLUSIONS WHAT YOU MIGHT TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I SAID AND WHAT I REALLY MENT MIGHT BE TWO DIFFERNT THINGS IF YOUR UNSURE ASK EITHER IN A REPLY OR MESSAGE ME.
While you all might think where do I have a right to tell you how to post on my blog section well just note if you feel you gonna do bullcrap anyways I am sure I can just delete your comment on here and will do so, becasue if your just gonna take shots at people under the belt and be just intentonaly rude then it's not worth keeping yoru comment on here. Now with all that aside I will start the blog now.
My viewpoint on MMO's and disscussion.
Well for the last time being I have went from only trying free to play games to pay to play ones and even played things like guild wars witch was buy to play. Something I have noticed on the internet latly and had me thinking and now even telling myself Alot of people out there dosen't even know why something is called MMO. There are posts and topics about people complaining about how people want to solo in game's and talking about if someone wants to solo they shoudl go single players games, well personaly I will say and will stand by what I say is that people don't relise MMO games didn't start out or at the begining wasn't intended to be all about grouping in a game the point of MMO was to make game worlds that ran in a server to hold and host for a massive amount of people so they can all play in the same world together. Dose this mean it means its supposed to be all about grouping up, no it dosen't and unless of course the game itself is made to revolve around grouping any game even if people mostly play solo in them that lets a massive amount of people play in the same server ( no not games you make 20 people rooms or whatnot talking about servers that may be able to hold hundreds of thousands or millions of people together ) reguardless if its people who are soloing or people who are grouping with friends or trying to make new friends..
Now as in games though I personaly am not saying that games should get rid of raids or areas that really needs groups to venture in like specal areas or whatnot, but games that are MMO games might not all the time be all about grouping and honestly this concept is only been adapted becasue there seems to be alot of people who want these games to be this way, but MMO games unless the game made in general is made around grouping dosen't have to be all about grouping up. Honestly too I personaly am a soloer myself, but not becasue I am greedy though or don't want to share with others I have a few reasons I don't group with people alot unless I need to for quite a few reasons.
1- I tend to have the worst luck in finding people who accualy respect others
2- People tend to be the greedy ones and wanting me to lose out as they don't care if people in thier groups might need stuff to help them upkeep their charaters alot of people I have partied with wouldn't care if your charater fell into ruin as long as they get all the stuff and yea this includes ninja looters.
3- Sorry this might sound critisicing but it's accualy true "STUPID PEOPLE ARE A DIME A DOZEN!" And just to be a bit more constructive on this exsampleing, Guys who think all female charaters are being played by women, Guys who act like there are no women that game, People who think they are gods gift to everything and noone else is even important, and the list could go on and on.
Now I feel in a game people should also have the ability to solo becasue even if you do run with a group of people or even in a good guild you will find times that *GASP!* noone will be on to party up with in your friends cirlcle of guild. While alot of you might just think you'll party up with anyone some of us also are not even gonna bother. If you have had alot of my bad experances in games, and no not the ones you can just ignore but esperances that mgiht even make people quit games becasue it might tend to lead to alot of people singleing them out and whatnot for many reasons, you probly will not just jump into anyones groups or group with anyone.
Now in no way am I saying that games shoudl all just be about purely soloing all the time, but for people like me soloing in a game is a great experance for me to on my own terms get a good feel for my charater at least, and then for me I personaly will not group with noone I haven't talked to in game for a while becasue I personaly would reather have an idea who I am grouping with. Understanding someone may not always equal intended grouping results for all you also know they might end up still being a person you'd prefer not to party with. Casue even though someone might seem cool from conversations they might end up just be playing you still and might end up trying to get you to party up for something major, so good rule of thumb but still isnt flawless that I follow is if I am gonna party up with people I will do so starting in just average exp serches casue most the time I have had success in weeding out people in the first few times casue something would happen or drop in the time that would show thier true nature. Most people though if they are just trying to use you though for just them getting everythign they will not ussaly waste time talking with you alot but would reather a person that would more blindly do it. Trust me on one thing though I am not calling people a ninja looter for taking stuff they can use or might need I use this term for partying more on the lines of people who don't want to share ( takeing turns and letting go if an extra shows up ) and are takeing items they clearly can't even use at all ( and no if you have more than one charater in my opion if your there as a rouge your only intiled to items for your class and ussability and only only in a situation of asking if you could have it for anotehr charater and noone of the class id present though someone try to roll for items being in a group that someone else probly needed or could have put to good use not only is it annoying but you end up screwing over you team mates in the long run and if you accualy need these people to have your backs it's jsut in my opion wrong to do this to people and I personaly if I am the leader of a group only give one warning after that its abandonment of the ninja looter becasue even if its the healer of the group he/she is hurting the party more than helping it. )
MMO's I beleave and what it seemed from starting was to give everyone the option to solo or group and in areas or specal importance needed groups to run them. I don't think you should have to have a group to beable to get to end game level. Also just becasue someone dosen't want to party up dosen't mean they should just play single player I mean really that statment was said even before thinking. You also for no reaons shouldn't have to be forced to join a guild just to make it in a game ( guilds are and shoudl be groups of people who have intrests in things similuar not about paying people to join or promising them items, good guild members are people who will join on thier own free will and while asking for help will not expect you to do everything for them, and good guilds don't try to make people feel like there scum becasue they didn't want to join nore shoud anyone who turned down an invite have to worry about harrassment. ) Some games like WoW for exsample I didn't like it becase all the classes were basicaly made to be part of a group, and while people will say you can solo the game was made for grouping mainly and really lost my intrest fast.
Personaly this is how I will state it even though I mainly solo I love MMO games for the sole purpose of being in a game with other people around, that dosn't mean in there for grouping only though but I feel for it to be there just in case I decied to do so or might get a group if needed for areas that can't be traveled by onesself safely. But for me to group with people it tends to take time and before I do any major grouping I will do more exp and loot runs first to make sure I can rely on thier person in question to be a good group member and not just another dime in the pot.
While alot will not agree with me I can understand that, but all I ask is to understand and respect my view on it as it is just as important as anyone elses ( not to mention I am not personaly attacking anyone either and am just making a view point as constrictive made as I can possibley do it. ) Feel free to leave comments though but please remember the rules though becasue I will remove posts that are just posted becasue someone wanted to be an a-hole and yes there is a differnce in constructive critisim and just being an douch.
Also to note you have to be logged in to post a comment sorry I tend to now stear away from the Anonymous option.
