I can see your points and all Uzique, but seriously. Every person that I know in person that plays WoW are either:
A: Nerds
B: Retards (Not literally, but act like them)
C: scary-quiet people, the ones that you think will come back and kill you 40 years down the track because you teased them about playing WoW
D: Asian

This is the kinda thing that makes the stereotype.
Sure there are normal people that play this game...I think... but there is no point trying to defend yourself when the stereotype is firmly set in most peoples minds.

Fuck what other people think and play the game. <(holy shit that is an awesome quote by me)

Subscribing to stereotypes is like the open admittal that you fall firmly into Category B.

Grow the fuck up and quit with the narrowmindedness... like all of 13 million people worldwide fit into the 1980's Dungeons & Dragons category, I'm sure. You know, 5 years ago people that played RTS or FPS games were viewed with 'nerd suspicion' also... it wasn't socially acceptable back then to spend all your time on a console/PC playing shoot 'em ups or devoting your time to developing new strategies in an RTS. Now it is because of fancy marketing and a new generation of youth that recognise gaming as a culturally and socially acceptable thing to do. Hell, now it's "cool" to spend 1000's of hours on Guitar Hero mastering some pointless 4-button 'solo', or to "pwn" your friends at Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4 over XboxLIVE... for 4 hours a night, every night after school. Point is, these gaming stereotypes are oldfashioned and massively outdated, and you're just making a generalisation that was probably more appropriately made 10 years ago.

The inherent irony of trying to reason with other gamers, on a gaming Forum, that 'x' game is less nerdy than 'y' game.... it blows my mind. None of you seem to get it though, the bigger picture here - that gaming is in a transistory shift from nerdy-underground to popularized mainstream culture - doesn't get through to the majority of you. Carry on playing your 'cool' and 'social' FPS games, they're great games, but don't look down on or ridicule other gamers because of their personal preference in game. One and the same.

If anything, you should be thanking your average, casual WoW player. Their hobby gives much to the PC gaming industry, in terms of mainstream awareness, recognition and publicity. Just remember, every time that BBC News reports an article on World of Warcraft- the entire industry gets a lift. World of Warcraft is one of the forces behind the paradigm shift that is moving PC gaming from a misunderstood and unpopular entertainment form into the more widely-acceptable mainstream public. What exactly are the other developers doing at this point in time for the industry and market as a whole, apart from bitching about piracy, crying over their profit margins and developing ever-more intricate DRM methods to alienate the consumer?

I can assure you, what other people think does not affect or detriment my own enjoyment of the game at all... when I do decide to play it.

good!

Now promise you wont write essays on defending the stereotype of WoW players because there is no point at all. Even if you are correct, people will still write random bullshit just to fuck with you.

Now can we get back on topic.

2.8 million? is that all? Well when you think about, it will probably be bought allot for Christmas presents, and, like people said, its not released in china/asia.

Despite what many might think, I weep for your future is well known across hundreds of nations all over the world. I weep for your future has been around for several centuries and has a very important meaning in the lives of many. It would be safe to assume that I weep for your future is going to be around for a long time and have an enormous impact on the lives of many people.
Social & Cultural Factors
I weep for your future has a large role in American Culture. Many people can often be seen taking part in activities associated with I weep for your future. This is partly because people of most ages can be involved and families are brought together by this. Generally a person who displays their dislike for I weep for your future may be considered an outcast.
Economic Factors
It is not common practice to associate economics with I weep for your future. Generally, I weep for your future would be thought to have no effect on our economic situation, but there are in fact some effects. The sales industry associated with I weep for your future is actually a 2.3 billion dollar a year industry and growing each year. The industry employs nearly 150,000 people in the United States alone. It would be safe to say that I weep for your future play an important role in American economics and shouldn't be taken for granted.
Environmental Factors
After a three month long research project, I've been able to conclude that I weep for your future doesn't negatively effect the environment at all. A I weep for your future did not seem to result in waste products and couldn't be found in forests, jungles, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc... In fact, I weep for your future produced some positive effects on our sweet little nature.
Political Factors
Oh does I weep for your future ever influence politics. Last year 5 candidates running for some sort of position used I weep for your future as the primary topic of their campaign. A person might think I weep for your future would be a bad topic to lead a campaign with, but in fact with the social and environmental impact is has, this topic was able to gain a great number of followers. These 5 candidates went 4 for 5 on winning their positions.
Conclusion
I weep for your future seem to be a much more important idea that most give credit for. Next time you see or think of I weep for your future, think about what you just read and realize what is really going on. It is likely you under valued I weep for your future before, but will now start to give the credited needed and deserved.

The intellectual creme-de-la-creme of BF2S will never fail to represent themselves in full whenever a WoW thread crops up.

Fat_Swinub, what exactly is a good MMO in your opinion? What exactly constitutes a great game? Why are so-called 'bad' games classified as so, in your own opinion? I'm intrigued to know which criterion my choice of game should strive to meet.

MMOs are garbage and I don't have a twelve-point list on what makes a good game. You can like what you like it doesn't stop me thinking it's garbage. Why do you feel so threatened by this that you rush to defend it?
