Worst Community Ever

Okay, so that title is mostly in jest - however I have never seen such a negative community. Yes there are bugs, yes there are things that need fixing, no it is not an exact perfect replica of what you think Star Trek should be, but it is in fact all in all a great MMO. The best part is the DEVs come here and listen to you wine and actually do something about it. I have never seen any game where somebody can go to a forum and go "Cryptic you suck because in TNG episode 4 that Klingon didn't do that man" and they CHANGE it. This game is being shaped before your very eyes - why not try being positive? I am not a fan boy by any means of Cryptic, Atari or whoever. I did however want to point out that when a new player comes to the forums and sees all this negativity and flaming - why would they check out this game.? The same flamers are complaining that the community is dwindling - LOL!

STO > it's community

Have a good day, and remember it is just a game :)

    I'm not negative.

    Its Friday, Payday and its a Bank Holiday weekend in the UK. This is the most positive I've been for ages.

    NOW SHUT UP!

    I am like the FOX News of these forums, I bring you news tidbits you don't care about, then I add on some extra lines to the news story that I made up, then I get everyone to fight about the different ways I am wrong...

    I Love You Guys...

    Don't go changing...

    2 isnt "many", but even so I highly doubt those forums are free of trolling and negativity.

    DAOC was a quality game but it was missing a good crafting system...

    the thing to remember is sto is still new. the boards should get more and more positive as the people that like the game stay and the ones that dont go. this place is already massively better than it was at the start

    there will always be negativity but as long as it constructive, its ok

    .. and you are???

    To the OP, this isn't a mmo community. It's a forum community. A mmo community is the community in-game, and given Cryptic's folly in sticking to the one server/shard, everything heavily instanced design there's never going to be an in-game community. So cheer up, you're lamenting about something that just isn't there, so problem solved.

    You are very wrong about the one server = no community...


    EVE Online has one of the strongest community's in any MMO and there is only one server...

    Without player interaction EVE would become useless as everything is built by the players for the players...

    He has, and he's right. EVE is completely community driven. Without its community the game is nothing.

    I haven't played EVE in 2 years, but I actually remember the forums as relatively mature and helpful. Certainly I don't remember all the childish rant posts you see on this forum. (I exclude the whole Dev+BOB scandal!)

    90% of ALL gear in EVE online is made by the players...

    That nice new ship you just bought was made by a player, no NPC is just gonna say or here is your new ship for 1 credit...

    In fairness, you don't see the rants because it isn't the crapfest this game is.

    I will give some EVE-haters this, EVE can be boring at times, but when you get into battle or find a new wormhole to travel down it can be very exciting... Holding territory for your alliance or corp and waging wars on the carebear corps!

    While its not the only game I'm playing, I do enjoy it.

    I actually just started getting into Mount&Blade's Warband expansion. It started out buggy as can be, but its starting to get playable now!

    The WoW forums are still terrible. And personally I think all of the "random dungeon queue" nonsense has really done a lot of damage to their community.
    There's no need to worry about making friends, building a reputation, or even working within a guild. Just click random and go.

    Out of respect for my buddies in our guild that are still playing EvE after the disappointment that STO is, I'll just not comment further about the game.
