Flame me if you want. Rate me down if you like. I really don't care....

This isn't FFXI people! Stop comparing it and wishing it had tarus.

It does, sorta. They are just spelled g-n-o-m-e. ;) They do start with more Mana than the other races I believe in any of the mage jobs.

I think you creating this thread is twenty times more annoying than the thread you're complaining about. Thanks.
#5REDACTED, Posted: Dec 06 2004 at 5:34 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) NO the taru thread is one of the stupidest ******* threads in existance. THe person that made it needs to die. Tarus are the worst looking chars of all.
#6REDACTED, Posted: Dec 06 2004 at 6:30 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Why? Because you're too much of an FFXI fanboy and you don't like to hear the truth? Go back to FFXI, WoW doesn't need you!

And I'm going to get rated down for this, but guess what?

WoW is a MMORPG.

FFXI is a MMORPG.

EQ and EQII are MMORPGs.

CoH is a MMO-something.

Comparisons are going to happen between all of these, and you're not going to stop them by writing this inane post. People compare FF games to Tales games, and the Guilty Gear series to the King of Fighters series, and Sonic games to Mario games.

And guess what else? People also compare books, and music, and computers, and occupations, and food, and stores, and pretty much everything else becuase they happen to have at least the similarity of being in the same category of some kind. Welcome to being a human and talking with other humans.

You wanted to know how powerful a nerd and a computer can be, there's a good example.


How about all those hackers that shut down major corporations?

So a nerd and a computer is a powerful thing.

The rest of us come to this forum to read about WoW too. Why else would we be here? However, a post discussing WoW, even if it's comparing it to another game, is something entirely different (not to mention about 3463467 times better) than you talking about how people shouldn't compare them.

So, in short "I come to the forums to read about WoW, not listen to people whine about FFXI."

Well, I hadn't before, but since you asked so nicely....

I could not agree more.

Comparisons are going to happen, but not in the volume that is happening. It is one thing to use a comparison to FFXI (or EQ for that matter) to get an idea of something (for example, in FFXI I would do this for tradeskills, what is the comparable action in WoW?)...which is what the apologists claim when they say it is going to happen...but that is not what is happening.

Saying that 'what this game needs is....fill in the blank with something from another MMO" is really quite idiotic, isn't it? It is not that other game. It is a new game. Presumably a better game (if not, go back to the old one and let those of us who are playing WoW enjoy it).

It is not comparison, it is griping. And it is loud and obnoxious. It is non stop. People saying they wish this game was more like some other game they played for one reason or another.

Oh, by the way, what this game needs is a Plane Of Knowledge, where we can all take books to get from zone to zone...oh, and a monk class, and an Iksar race while we are at it. I do not care that none of it fits into the story line or that I can get all of that in my old MMO...I want to play this one and ***** about what it does not have....Oh, and I like the flak cannon from Unreal Tournament...can my tauren hunter get one of those?

People are so stupid sometimes. Rate up OP.

lhuffman...I understand what you're saying. I'll admit that I don't read every thread on this forum, and therefore don't know the extent to which the FFXI-talk has gone, but the OP presented him/herself as a moron who just hates FFXI and wants it to go away.

If it had been even half as well written as yours, with an explanation as to how annoying the posts are, I probably would have rated it up. I guess I'll just rate yours up instead then, eh?

As far as I know this is the "Main WoW Forum". I suggest the FFXI/tarus/other mmmo's go in the "Out of Topic" thread.

only one comment to that, nerd + computer = solitaire madness.
Nerd + Computer + Internet... now you have a powerful thing.
Nerd alone? evil eyes and fancy words of doom O.o


but back to the main thread.
Heres an idea for alla, make a damned sticky on a GOOD comparisons thread, maybe even one for each, yes,eachmmorpg that is commonly stated, FFXI, WoW ( doh), CoH, L2, EQI/II, etc etc etc.

With the sticky = no more stupid threads like this, or stupid threads that stupid threads like this complain about, ( made by some ..."stupid" people). So perhaps now we can sleep at night, knowing we have contributed to the alla forums... (take a chill pill about flaming threads, they are always gonna be there, come up with a solution if you complain, makes life a lot more productive.)
thankee.

Hey guys, I have a news flash for you... everyone has their opinions on things, and if you aren't wanting to hear them, DON'T READ ABOUT THEM. Just because a post says "this game isn't as good as FFXI" or anything like that doesn't mean you have to read it and tell them that they are stupid because they don't like the same thing as you. They aren't saying "this game needs Taru's and anyone who plays it is stupid because the game doesn't have taru's" they are simply saying "I wish this game had taru's" which is a completely honest and simple opinion that they think.

Now, you are also welcome to think "that person is stupid because he complains about a game that is different from another game, blah blah blah" but what's the point? Just like, what is the point of me posting this reply... But I have an excuse, im bored with WoW right now because it's either solo, or playing with stuck up people, so I figured what the hell, might as well check out some forums. BTW, this game needs Galka's ;) oh oh oh, and the Elvann race in WoW is 100000 times better than the crappy Elvann race from FFXI... ok, I am done now, rate me down if you want, I don't even know what that really does, but go for it.

Unless you happen to be a sock puppet with 143 posts, and your other account has scholar status, and therefore is capable of rating posts, then you pretty much have to be kidding, now don't you?

Well, yeah, because Night Elves are badass and sexy, and Elvaan are freakish giraffe-people.

How about I rate you up for stating a coherent opinion that a lot of people here could get some use out of reading, and point you over to the forum FAQ, where you might read about the rating system, and other things about the forum?

Heh, touchy today aint we... (forgot your name already, my apologies, its the B something, bulbous comes to mind..)
I think ye missed my point mate (the calling someone stupid was for a little sarcastic comic relief), offered a good way to fix the problem, hence end this jibberish arguments. >.>
btw, why rate someone down, as you said, each to their own opinions. you have yours, i have mine so there O_o
Take a deep breath and smell the roses, then go dance in Elwynn Forest or something, im sure you can find some Defias to tango with... (wierd thoughts...but they got that bandana all ready for the fancy twists and such...wonder if there are any roses anywhere...)

Well hell, I could tell it wasn't FFXI when I noticed my lvl 19 Night Elf Hunter has more Mana than HP!
