WoW Trollers

I think there should be some kind of rules to deal with trollers in ANY game''s post.

Quite often there's a thread which states it's to do with WoW in the title, and you get people flocking to it just to badmouth it.

This isn't just for WoW, it's for other games too. Can't we tell people to learn not to click on a thread if they don't like the game. When people ask for help on a game, they're really not asking your opinion on the game, they're asking for someone to answer their question.

I vote strict holidays for all those who troll... anyone with me?

complaint threads are so bad, i tried doing one once and never again! the sentences arent balanced and my grammar got nerfed so its now the worst thread in the world.

But yes i agree, its just tedious to read more people flaming a game they either havent played, or just dont play anymore.

People are generally quick enough to slap down trollers here anyway, it's far from the worst forum I've ever been on.

What gets me is people posting nonsense replies because they haven't read the original post properly (or at all). And people who dislike Vanguard. And people who have numbers in place of letters in their names. And people who use lol at the beginning and end of every sentence (are you really laughing that much? ARE YOU?!). And people who ask questions that 3 seconds on google provides the answer to. And anyone under 15 with access to the internet.

But then I'm a cranky old git

What about limiting the number of the 100's of WoW threads that pop up each week then?

Who cares?

And for what its worth. I think most people who dis WOW, including myself, have been there and gone through the other side. And see it as nothing more than a shallow, life-sapping, kiddy-filled grindfest. Yes it was good while it lasted. But I find the people that think wow is the holy grail of gaming more annoying.

Is it REALLY worth trashing someone else's thread over though?

Then again, I suppose it could be worse. Has anyone seen the page after page of total and utter trash posted on the official WoW boards?

Never have I believed that a game has such a low average age among it's players.
