First, your name is Mr. Angry. Most of the comments you make are negative in some way. Exception for your most recent comment about Aion.

Second, you're going to "own" me? Do people actually speak that way?

The reason I made the "pansy-ass" remark is because right up until that paragraph I was right there with you on your upset. It was a lousy ending and came off like "you're ugly, no offense" which is always lame.

And, you're right, I did forget Aion. I also forgot a great many other games. Personally, I'm not excited by Aion. But, that's the thing you can be. You're more than welcome to be excited about Aion. You can also be excited about WoW, or Fallen Earth (which I also didn't mention) or any other game.

But, here's my question for you put as politely as I can manage without reference to owning or slobbering or anything remotely like that, why do you need to talk down a game? This is an honest question, I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here.

I simply don't understand why anyone posts comments along the lines of "this game is awful and will get taken out by game XYZ because of ZYX issue." And, please, before you say I'm putting words in your mouth do understand I'm doing my best to make a general example that I'm certain you're more than familiar with.

Why come to this site and post as much as some do only to exclaim how horrible some game will be? What's wrong with just not playing that game? Do you feel you're trying to perform a service for those of us unable to form opinions? Are you trying to save me $9.95 a month?

As for what I'm excited about in SoM? Combat changes and Skirmishes. I've enjoyed both immensely and, for me, that's just fine.
