  • Can you make a list of the reasons of the respects that makes a MMO disgusting? Now, we have made a stat. and will illustrate all the 10 reasons from the 10th to the 1th as follows:
    #10 There's Too Much Lag

    "Man, MMO X sucks. Every time I try to log on, it's like a slideshow. Why can't these developers get their s%#! together and fix this stuff before launch."

    Lag may be one of the single least understood element of online gaming that gets picked on the most. What is lag, exactly? Is it a server aion gold side problem? Is it a problem with your computer? Your internet connection? Programming issues?

    Maybe the reason that we hear this complaint so often is because so many different things are called, "lag."

    #9 The Graphics Look Like They're From 1999

    "I don't know how you losers can like MMO X, the graphics look like they're from 1999."

    I'm not sure what everyone's hang-up is with the year 1999, but if you've actually looked at graphics from that year and compared them to pretty much any current MMO, there's going to be a world of difference. That fact aside though, we hear time and time again that, to the hardcore MMOers out there, gameplay will trump graphics every time. If that's true, why do we so often hear this particular reason to hate an MMO?

    #8 It's Just Another Theme Park

    "Well, I'd play MMO X if I wanted to be led by the nose through the game with no choice and no world."

    A departure from what many perceive as the origins of the MMO, the open, sandbox world, has more than a few people upset, kicking and screaming. It's difficult to argue against the fact that as time has moved on, the MMO industry has evolved to more and more closely resemble their linear, quest to quest single player cousins. For some, this has become a problem and they're not afraid to let everyone know about it, every aion kinah time a new game launches.

    #7 This Game is Only Going to be for Griefers

    "I don't want to play a game that's going to be populated entirely by griefers."

    That particular phrase seems to be the most used as a reason to hate any game that uses PvP as a main feature. That's not to say that there aren't a fair share of PvP games out there where griefers do indeed rule the roost, but every so often a company makes a PvP game that's designed to deal with annoying activity like griefing. Not everyone who likes PvP is a griefer.

    #6 This Game is for Carebears

    "This is totally a carebear game."

    Conversely, this happens to be the PvP players' favorite retort complaint against games that don't cater to their own personal tastes. More and more often, it's being used to describe not only games with very little or no PvP, but also to describe any MMO that dares launch a PvP system with anything but the harshest death penalties and full FFA loot systems.
