I'm not even ranked, I'm level 27 and I've seen brutal stupidity
like not just BAD players but just awful people, like teamwork is clearly not in their vocabulary

this is kind of a problem with most popular team-based games online
just holy **** how much less can you grasp the concept of what you're supposed to be doing
i like to imagine i am playing a kind of cool new top-down rpg yu-gi-oh game where you play as the dark magician and you can shoot all kinds of cool energy balls and you need to search the dragon and kill him to win.
but that's just talking about what i do irl
also, i feel league of legends is sort of awful in general. i don't understand what's so great about moba games.

I don't understand the draw of games like League of Legends or World of Warcraft.

Other than the draw of RPGs in general, there's also the social aspect of MMOs. I played EQ (and later EQ2) for years, met a lot of really awesome people and made a lot of friends that I grouped with all the time. I played WoW for a few years too, but quit because the community on my server was shit. Played several other games in the genre briefly as well. Now the only MMORPG I play is SWTOR and while I love the story aspect (which is amazing, btw), I also have a lot of fun spending time with my guildmates. It really makes it all the more worthwhile. So yeah, the social aspect is a pretty big part of what draws people in imo.

i wouldnt say its more of that than more of people acting like little children when things dont go the way they planned it. i always have that one person to ***** at the team because he fed the opponent
The last MMO I played heavily was Guildwars. I started playing it in 2005, but stopped playing it around 2011. I always thought the community in Guildwars had nice players. I haven't been on Guildwars in ages. I'm guessing since Guildwars 2 has been out now for over a year, that the community in Guildwars 1 is on the brink of extinction, unless quite a bit of people are still playing the game.

I played Guild Wars (and had Factions - didn't go any farther than that though) and it was a lot of fun. I was really into TERA Online for a while too. I'm just too afraid to do missions that require other people, which sort of goes against the point of a MMORPG isn't it?
I hate playing MMOs now because there's always so much to know, just gets confusing. MapleStory was the only one that I got really into because I started playing it when it was first released, but now there's just too much for me.
Not to mention the communities of most MMOs are garbage anyway.

burning it down
I played World of Warcraft about 2/3 years ago for a very long time and enjoyed every minute of it. The only problem was finding groups that weren't 12 year old boys who say "your mum" jokes all the time and the fact that it's really expensive, especially when you have to prioritise studying. Most of the people I used to play with have all quit as well, so there's not much draw anymore except for nostalgia.
Except that LoL and WoW are radically different games.
I agree, Dota 2 (and even WCIII DotA) is vastly superior. And I was one of the first people to try out LoL. While it's nice they made their own game instead of being a carbon copy of dota (unlike Heroes of Newerth), it's still just a worse game in general.
I never liked MMO's either, lasted only 3 hours when I tried World of Warcraft. Despite that, I did try The Secret World because it was made by Ragnar Tornquist and I was not disappointed. Real story telling in a really cool world.
So everyone, if you're looking for something fresh in an MMO try The Secret World. It has my Seal of Approval™.
P.S. one day I will play The Old Republic. One day.
Factions was really fun as well. I enjoyed using the brand new Assassin profession that was introduced. I never played TERA actually, I knew quite a few people that were really into TERA though. Yeah, doing missions with others can be....well...you just don't know how it's gonna pan out. Some players are cool, and some are just garbage players lol. In Guildwars I knew most of the players in my guild in real life so it was pretty fun being apart of that guild.
