Anyone know of a MMO forum that Isn't full of players who don't play MMOs?

90% of this forum are bitter old school MMO players that haven't played a MMO since '05.

I'm tired of the Viral Marketers, the Fanbois, the Haters, the MMO terrorists trying to sway people from other games.

I want Game reviews from players that aren't bias that actually give players informative reviews not a flame fest.

I want to get away from the people that don't even play MMOs but yet they feel the need to troll every game and label them as a copycat.

Does a forum exist where the players don't have commitment issues with MMOs? (jumping from game to game every month)

I like sandbox games, I don't mind linear games, Hell I can eve tolerate Free to play MMOs.

I want to be apart of a forum that actually reads a game description before they try the game so they don't have to polute a forum with mindless rants on how a game isn't "thier game".

I want a forum that's actually moderated, one that deletes obvious Viral marketing posts.

Any help would be great.

"I haven''t a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices."

There's a few other smaller forums scattered throughout the internet, but for the most part this is it.

The sad fact is, no matter what online forum you venture to...there will inevitably be "fanbois", "trolls", naysayers what have you. It's the nature of the beast.

I think you are expecting much more from a forum than what's intended. It's a central social hub where all people from different walks of life/ opinion all come together...mashed into one.

What this forum is not, that I think some forget sometimes, is a buffet where you can selectively choose what you wish to hear/see with convenience.

I've seen critical player reviews on this website for almost every game i've been interested in, you just have to really dig and wait for them.

I would start ignoring users more often, find bloggers that your opinion seems to gravitate towards.

I suppose the ironic thing about all of this, you are asking for an alternative from the very source that you are complaining about.

           You get the good and the bad and all in-between on the web. I guess it could be called good if all of the posts are not flames

Cry Havoc, and let slip the trolls of war!

If this site wasn't frequented by gamers who don't play MMO's then i'm afraid they wouldn't make much money from advertising, so be thankful that they do visit so we have a site/forum to whine on.

You could always create a Yahoo! or Google group for MMO games

Well if you aren't reading the posts on this site, then you are missing out on the best info available.  I have not found any better forums.  Better to see both the negative and postive posts.  Pretty easy to see those that don't truely represent the game.    Just ignore the trolls, they ususally only have a  comment with nothing to support it.

Won't be any different on any other site either.

Player accomplishment is relative to the chance of meaningful consequences in the event you loose.

You want everyone to confine themselves to your expectations and show your intolerance for those that annoy you by calling them "mindless", "polluters", "fanbois", and "old school players" who are out of touch. You want something that doesn't exist my friend. A world that conforms to your expectation. Good luck finding it.....

Now you can call this a flame,but the point of this post is to ask you to step back and really read what you wrote....

Cheers
