MMO vs. RPG

Alright, I fucking hate MMORPG's. Seriously, I hate them.

"But they're RPG's, why do you hate them? You love RPG's, don't you?"

Yes, I love RPG's. MMO's are like the retarded crack baby with down syndrome of RPG's. In a MMO, all that really matters is that you wank in the face of monster A 29304823089420348 times, until you gain enough experience to hit level 2, then you wank in the face of monster B 937401238402398402398423098 times until you hit level 3.

Rinse and repeat.

They also have fucking retarded "quests". Seriously. W T F. "k plz i r nid iten frum thang ok????" Meaning, you have to go out, and fucking grind MORE.

And another thing, why the hell do all the "Bosses" in a MMO require you to gather every fucking cunt in the fucking game to all attack at once, to deal 1 damage, until it's 024803284032984320984 hp finally drops to 0?!

I understand that MMO's are generally about the "community", but if that's true, THEN MAKE THE COMMUNITY A BIGGER PART OF THE GAME, AND NOT JUST A FUCKING PRE-REQ OF GRINDING.

Seriously.

If you want to make a community based game, add mini-games, where you can play with other players, get to know them, challenge them, have fun. Have pubs, places to hang out and relax, and things to talk about.

Include special crafting skills like tibia did, where players can just sit in one area, make useful items, and get to know people. (For those who never played tibia - you would hold blank runes in your hand, then cast a spell and create combat or healing spell runes for later use.)

Don't just say, "O HAY GUIZ U NID 2 GET PPLZ 4 TEH KIL OK!1111" that's not a community based game, that's fucking co-op on the worst RPG I've ever played.

Now then, for why I like RPG's, and why I believe MMO's are the epitome of retardation:

I don't have to deal with retards running around, spamming "plz itens plz itens plz itens". I fucking hate retarded cunts that can't spend more than 8 seconds on a game without harassing higher level players (ie: lv. 2 asking a lv. 3 for items) or anything like that.

THERE'S ACTUALLY THINGS TO DO! Omgz. Mind blowing concept here - A GAME THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS LIKE A GAME! Instead of the main focus being on grinding, there are quests (that aren't retarded), optionl bosses, mini games, and various other fun things to do, outside the main story. Even then, if there isn't, the story itself is usually appealing enough to draw one into the game long enough to complete it, and make them satisfied that they played it to begin with.

I've played just about every free MMO on the net, (and a few pay ones) and they all play the same. They are, the EXACT same thing. Sadly, they even kill the fun for a hack 'n slash gamer, like myself.

PSU, for example. Phantasy Star Universe is a horrible horrible transition from the wonderful game PSO (Phantasy Star Online), which was ORPG. PSU is a MMO, and sucks balls. Offline mode for PSU has easier leveling, better skills, and less cock gobbling. Online however makes you feel like cunt in a ditch, desperately trying to dig your way up, with a fucking fork. Oh, and to top it off, someone is piling mounds and mounds of dirt ontop of you, because they fucking hate you.

TL:DR

I hate MMO's, RPG's > all.
