people i meet on MMORPGs are so boring compared to other online games. usually humorless and bland and, as much as i hate to use the term, NPC-ish
what's the deal with that? the whole genre CENTERS on socializing

Because a vast majority of MMO players don't play the game for an adventure or for living in a virtual world but instead of gaining bigger numbers on items
socialization is exp waste
If I want to start watching South Park what season do I stop? I assume it's gotten worse as it's gone on.
You can go pretty deep. It didn't start getting gay until recently.
honestly the most boring people i meet in mmo's tend to be white and usually have other issues they bring along with them into the game
Have you met people that play Overwatch? It's just a bunch of bland liberals and edgy conservatives.
Anyone that still plays MMORPGs in 2019 wont have a lot going on in their head
I think it depends on the game. Most are edgy tryhards who take the meta too seriously, or casual retards looking for a 420 guild to dick around in
>Play as a female on MMO
>Get hit on.
Ah the circle of life.
>I assume it's gotten worse as it's gone on.
Um....No.
how do you expect anyone to develop a personality when they're too busy inflating their pixels and numbers?
I have in the past 5 months had phone/cam sex with over a dozen women I've met on overwatch, three of which are willing to go to serious lengths to date me irl.
Best game ever.
>Um....No.
Nah it definitely has fanboy
i mean the only multiplayer genre that isn't heavily majority-white is fighting games
socializing is something mmo players dont do.
>Nah it definitely has fanboy
Nope.
yet the biggest twitch personalities come from MMORPGs like WoW
true but honestly any cool person i meet in a mmo tends to not be white,guy in my fc in ffxiv is black and he has such an abrasive personality its nice to see compared to everybody else
MMOs exist so you can brag and show off the CHEEVOSPETSMOUNTSDRESSUP you've gotten on a massive scale, not to interact with other people.
said the delusional fanboy. South Park used to be better.
>in my fc in ffxiv is black
This type of Black?
asians are the most annoying in online games anyway, even asian-americans. super stuck-up vibes if you aren't in with them. pinoys can be cool i guess but like chinese/korean, nah, forget it
So did Yea Forums but we still enjoy shitposting here
Dude who are you fooling, pretty sure everyone here has watched the majority of south park, me included, ive seen it all, and the newer shit is much weaker than the past. Its nowhere as bad as simpsons is, and it still has some funny shit, it aint bad but its really not close to what it once was.
Its starting to go on too long
>South Park used to be better.
uh uh? So how long have you been having erectile dysfunction?
Same boat, all the best people ive met in online games is a wacky black guy or a guy with a southern accent.
That's private user
>Its starting to go on too long
I can see that point of view. But it is still staying strong in the fight. I recon Matt and trey just don't have the passion or they are scared.
If Jimmy can do it why can't you.
Just join a Yea Forums or /vg/ guild. Most other guilds are full of normalfags and I don't know why you'd wanna suffer that.
scared of what?
No ones social on mmos anymore you wait to que up with a random group for a raid and then thats it you never see em again
yeah its still not trash, its just theres really only SO much material you can come up and the newer shit isnt really like the pioneering SP did back in earlier seasons. I do give them credit trying some risks like the continuity shit, I didnt care for it but I can appreciate spicing shit up.
But if this shit lasts like another 5-7 seasons I think we really might start hitting nu-simpsons tier.
They have passion but less in the show it seems, the games are Kino southpark humor.
The first 2seasons are a little basic, it was a lot of shock humor for the time but there’s some good classic episodes In there. The movie and season 3 until they hit 4th grade it finds its stride and then it’s several seasons of nearly no misses all great stuff. Around when chef dies and Mr garrison becomes mrs garrison there’s a drop off BUT there are still some very good episodes each season. Sometime around when Stan starts seeing everything as “shit” you can tell Matt and Trey are getting sick of the show a bit and most episodes consist of like a single joke they just keep repeating, it feels like they are happy they came up with something and stretched it out for a half hour just to get an episode done, again though here and there some good episodes pop up. Then in the last Few seasons here around when PC Principle shows up (Matt and Trey love this character for some reason) they start trying to do these season long story lines and you can just tell they aren’t thinking it through and it was OK for a bit but once garrison as trump shows up it becomes pretty bad as the last couple of seasons I hate to say we’re just bad. South Park has avoided this for a long time and has remained fairly fresh even if some quality was lost along the way for sure but it may finally be “bad” I give it a season or two to turn things around.
I'm sure the players have a personality, they just don't want to show YOU specifically.
>scared of what?
Alot of things. But if you are wondering why they aren't doing strong jokes and even went through that weird season all about trolling. Just feels like even they know they can be challenged now. Latest season was good i will admit. But we will see if they do any gags or jokes on
>R Kelly,
>Maybe Mr Jefferson (MJ) comes back again from the dead.
>Canada pulls a Brexit. Because Canada is basically England to America.
>Hell the fucking NZ Shooter. They already did the school shootings.
>Bill Maher.
>Rammstiens new video.
Just saying alot of shit to mock but who will be the ones to do it.
i mean he's said people used to call him white boy all the time growing up if thats what you mean
>mfw heard the same guy go into great detail about why aqua is the best girl in konosuba all while talking with a heavy southern accent
>join a /vg/ guild
Worst choice you can make, especially on WoW private servers.
20 and 21 are some of the shittier seasons because of the election. 19 also follows the serialization meme but isn't as bad. 22 put things a lot better back on track. Show is still far more watchable than Zombie Simpsons or Family Guy or other shit adult cartoons.
Well that's what you get when you play games where repetitive tasks are the core gameplay.
Yea Forums and /vg/ guilds are like normie guilds on the opposite end of the spectrum
>people i meet on MMORPGs are so boring compared to other online games. usually humorless and bland and, as much as i hate to use the term, NPC-ish
Not really surprising considering these days you get slapped with a 30 day ban for the most innocuous of chat offenses. I stopped talking in map/region/whatever chat in all online games years ago because you never know which retard with a mental illness is going to report you to the nanny GMs for the dumbest shit.
>the games are Kino southpark humor.
Oh fuck yeah SOT was my shit. When you went to Canada and get abducted by Aliens that crash land a disguise it as a taco Bell.
OP is right. MMOs back in the day used to be filled with colorful personalities and people, I think because back then the idea was to actually insert yourself and roleplay a little bit in this alternate reality. Fast forward 15 years and games like XIV are souless and people just run through other people in their mitigated austistic solo quest to make whatever number bigger or grind for whatever fashion item so they can sit idle in a populated area. It's kind of a parody and people who do it tend to be the bottom of the barrel of society.
>or Family Guy
Dude they have resorted to literally Monty Python jokes repackaged. Hell latest's episode is basically a parody of directors commentary with fucking Seth, Mila and Seth Green all breaking character. At the end. Trust me South Park even it's weaker seasons has better fucking narrative.
>the whole genre CENTERS on socializing
It used to. Now with auto grouping and having everything instanced means you can hit the end game in most of them without ever opening the chat box. Hell in most of them you don't even need to group until the endgame. That shit was unheard of in the pre-WoW days.
But aside from that, yes I've noticed that too over the year. Many people that play MMOs are straight up addicted to the genre. I'll strike to up conversation about anything else, and 90% of the time it just goes no where. Asking what games they're looking forward to will just have them list off the next big MMO coming out.
>I'll strike to up conversation about anything else, and 90% of the time it just goes no where
OP here. This right here is exactly what I'm talking about. It is EXTREMELY HARD to keep a conversation going with these people, talking about almost anything outside the game just gets me an emote or an "XD" and then it immediately trails off. I never have this problem when meeting people in any other game, ever.
It's accurate. Mostly kids or people who don't actually play games, just this MMO. I would move on and stop playing them, even within gaming modern MMO communities are notorious for being full of mentally ill and depraved individuals.
Borneo’s never fail to surprise me
the fuck is a borneo
>It is EXTREMELY HARD to keep a conversation going with these people,
What makes you think people want to talk to you? Are you just one of those dudes that joins group chat to act like a clown? Or starts a political war out of boredom
>What makes you think people want to talk to you? Are you just one of those dudes that joins group chat to act like a clown? Or starts a political war out of boredom
I never talk about politics and I don't act like a clown either
If everyday conversation is something so unfathomable to you that you'd become this accusatory over it then you're probably one of the people I'm talking about
This I just rewatched the entire series from ep 1 to the latest season and that's exactly how I feel. It's a great show to retain quality despite being on the air for so long.
I want to resub to WoW. Is there a Yea Forums guild on NA servers?
>If everyday conversation is something so unfathomable to you that you'd become this accusatory over it then you're probably one of the people I'm talking about
Nah. I'm just shocked there are people like you who still exist. Like you want to be open. But in a gay way. It's cool if your into that sort of shit. But you give off a gay vibe.
>most episodes consist of like a single joke they just keep repeating,
This is my main problem with a lot of episodes. It starts funny but then they really REALLY beat a dead horse with it
Did you forget the South Park 2 parter focusing on family guy? It was golden.
why would you fucking resub to WoW when its in the worst state its ever been in history?
Its really REALLY fucking bad.
>Did you forget the South Park 2 parter focusing on family guy?
Yes Cartoon Wars. That was the episodes that showed South Parks dominance in Comedy.
Don't listen to any retard who still tries to pretend all of SP is amazing. It's fallen off quite a bit. That said just watch it until you're sick of it.
once people figure out the game's secrets a guild of many people can become a very boring robotic group of worker ants. They usually have these inner cliques and dont bother talking to people much if they dont have too.
Some people use the game as an escape, dress up game, or some competitive grind etc.
So they dont really have to be nice to you, they probably think you might be weird or annoying for putting in more effort to communicate/connect.
When Cartman becomes a SJW.
>Don't listen to any retard who still tries to pretend all of SP is amazing.
It's really abrasive to what I would consider a "normal" approach to MMOs is, to explore and interact with other people dynamically in an alternate setting, I don't mean like in a roleplay sense, it's a pure sentiment. To play these games just to robotically go through the motions so you can increase your numbers just seems to pointless and as far as time wasting goes seems incredibly strange and depraved.
They have bad episodes, like anything else
>tfw you realize YOU are actually the problem
you're the common denominator, OP
its gotten worse with the whole season continuity thing. used to be if its a bad ep its just that ep. the next ep might be good. now its the whole season being shit cause theres all this buildup and unfinished eps for a mediocre or just bad conclusion.
Everybody learns the game that way. Its magical at first, everyones best memories of a game is when they were a noob or first started to enjoy times good times with a guild.
MMOs are nice but when you learn about things you cant undue it, so peoples priorities in the game or group can become different.
I suppose so I was disillusioned of the MMO magic after EQ. I'm a boomer obviously, but modern MMOs just seem to lack something more than nostalgia, they are such transient and vapid experiences even compared to my later experiences with EQ and XI.
Yea Forums has a lower degradation rate relative to the rest of the internet.
modern mmos let the player do everything solo
used to be well this town is the only one with a forge and that other town is the place with the smelter so you have to run back and forth and travel between shit. youd meet people along the way who were going the same places. band together for protection etc. youd be with them on a journey. now fast travel pay money instantly teleport.
you can be the perfect crafter cook and warrior why would you ever team up or try to trade for things you couldnt produce yourself.
now every town has every amenity and is the same except looks. auction houses allow you to never talk to another player and still buy things. no more haggling or scamming or anything fun.
theres no reason to talk to others and even if you do thanks to instancing and only being able to run dungeons a couple times a day you will never see them again.
