what happened to MMOs

they stopped being mmos in favor of being big waiting room lobbies with a subscription fee

>>720492728 (OP)
People became scared of talking because trans people are weak and will report you for not agreeing with them. They also control the gnre now being that they can claim mantal health issues, which they should, and use free govbux to stay at home all day, which they should.

You got tired of leveling and of having nothing to spend money on.

this bait pic doesn't get too many reactions these days

>>720492728 (OP)
I was about to get mad about D&D online but quickly realized it was bait.

>>720492728 (OP)
MMOs are the bottom rung of video games. Complete and total garbage whose whole value was simply the novelty of online multiplayer and socialization.

>>720497284
MMOs have the potential to be the best archetype.

people are grinding in them instead of looking at the fine women

>>720492728 (OP)
social media

>>720492728 (OP)
Social media removed the novelty of meeting people online, then toxic positivity and self censorship moved the remaining socialisation to private 3rd party communication channels. What's left is a single player game with a subscription.

They decided to neglect the one thing that made MMOs special. The persistent open world.

What elementalist elite specs should I unlock after weaver?

When full-dive VR becomes available MMOs will be the first games made for it.
Trust the plan, 2 more decades.

the future is grim

World of Warcraft is SSS Tier if you pretend nothing after Vanilla exists.

>>720494791
Why should they?

>>720499017
Its B tier at best because of the fun being optimized out

>>720492728 (OP)
wow unironically killed the genre

>>720499904
GW2 ruined MMOs, everything is weapon swap slop

>>720500074
No one cares about gw2 lol, thats just the current kmmo fad

>no turtle wow on this list
opinion invalid

I've said it before and I'll say it again: As someone who still plays modern Maplestory it doesn't deserve to be higher than C on that list

*by the players
vanilla and 2019 classic was fun as fuck, but as soon as the majority of faggots decided to treat the 20 year old mmo like a day job then the fun of it went down the shitter.

>People became scared of talking
Well, yeah. Sad to say, I don't trust moderators on the west coast to make sensible decisions. About anything in chat, really.

It's a lot easier to just not say anything than constantly think about whether you're offending anybody.

>>720499904
Vanilla, etc., aren't even that good.

>>720501634
Classic was ruined by phasing. I got to, like, 25.

>>720500074
>>720505349
the problem is most people just want to play wow

I feel like it had some really popular games but it wasn't a popular genre in itself (for reasons)

>>720506000
probably due to having to be a timesink, only people with light schedules could enjoy.

in dfo even if i could make it to max level within a week playing 4 hours a day, thats still alot of time to be spent

>>720492728 (OP)
Faggots & nigs ruined it. The Internet used to be a place you could just turn it off if you didn't like what you saw now people report anything to get people banned so you're left with fags circle jerking each other.
They didn't like what Charles kirk had to say and look what they did. These are the same, sick, pathetic pieces of shit.

>>720507028
holy fuck you faggots can't even discuss video game without sucking his dick.
fucking americans man

>>720494791
sad albeit truthful nuke

>>720506000
When were you born, 2010?

>>720503341
Nah ive given up on mmos, but i never even got past level 5 in gw2 because of how gay it looks

>>720492728 (OP)
Social media introduced normies to mmos, games, and the internet beyond their AOL/msn friend chats
This lead to the nerd culture marketing to said normies and the irreparable damage done to everything you used to love after executives learned how much time and money people pour into nerd hobbies
Mmos will never return to their glory days both because current devs cant make one and the current internet user base is full of retards that demand to be catered to

Nice way to prove what a faggot you are, rope yourself
