I personally have no hate for SC2, I even still have it installed, I just have no interest in watching it after trying some games from the TSL3. I think that if BW were to die I'll just find a different hobby | ||

This is actually the one that always bugs me. The "Even SC2 fans don't like SC2, they just think they do because they're stupid". It's just a lot of trolls, and that fosters hate for everyone else.

The focuses of the game just end up being different (mechanically) and there's disputes over how that affects gameplay. Hopefully blizzard will continue patching in the right direction and we'll eventually get something for all to love... | ||

One thing that I have noticed in the BW forums is the hostility towards Starcraft 2, and to a lesser extent, its players. I find this quite odd as most Starcraft 2 players and pros that I know of speak very fondly of BW, placing it high on a pedestal as one of the greatest creations of humanity. BW fans hate SC2, SC2 fans hate League of Legends. The SC2 community has no right to complain about intolerance from the BW community. | ||

 I personally fall under the 'I really don't care' @ThePianoDentist yep, that's the elitist attitude. Or at least other people will perceive it as one. As long as every member of each community have their opinions, conflict - like I said before - will simply be inevitable. But at least we can be civil about it~ | ||

Besides as soon as someone or anyone wants to start playing BW and they've made a thread they get heaps of support, advice and encouragement so I think you're just looking in the wrong places. You said that some of your friends hold BW in high regard, It is not odd since alot of Sc2 players that have played the game actually enjoyed it but the majority of people who play BW are actually people who have played Sc2 and they have renounced it, for a reason and hence most people who play Bw actually hate the game. I'm sorry if I'm not making as much sense as would be expected of me but I am a little tired Oh! just thought of something, the thing with the sc2 people trolling on Bw streams all the time is the reason for the "No Sc2 talk" rule on most BW streams since everytime it happens a shitstorm erupts and no streamer wants that. | ||

Make vikings or infestors Why haven't they switched to sc2 yet'' or something along that, while it doesn't picture the entire SC2 community at all, I tend to get 5 or more trolls each time BW is on, its annoying as hell. You don't see BW people enter a SC2 stream and start telling people that their X favorite player would be nothing then a scrub or a B teamer at best in BW. . Moreover, I have argued in multiple SC2 VS BW threads and really, for some reason people can not look beyond the LOL NO MBS AND AUTOMINING IS STUPID and find the real reasons why BW is such a good game. Then again, I haven't been here a long while so I don't know what the old Bw forums were like(e.g 3 years ago) but that is my observation for now. This sums up what I was going to say for the most part. 90% of the people I have banned from my stream chat are from people who come in and say that kind of crap you listed. I have nothing against SC2 itself, but it irks me when SC2 > BW players feel they need to cause a scene. I only see BW guys start flaming in retaliation for the most part. | ||

Flash's wrist? come to sc2! STX roster trades? zomg come to sc2! bnet attack? i want _____ to move to sc2 already! YellOw reitiring? oh god slayers'yellow!1!eleven! mbcgame changing format? this is great news for sc2! LR threads? he needs to get broodlords! And that isn't even counting the trolls who just come in to say "bw sucks" / "bw is going to die" / "these graphics are terrible" / "i cant believe these guys are still playing such an ancient game" / etc. Believe me, it gets old quite fast. If sc2 fans wanted to, they could just make a circlejerk thread for these comments in sc2 general and it wouldn't bother us in the least. | ||

Some of the bitterness is related to coming to accept the world around us changing, when we do not. You see, in the larger scale, the casualisation of the gaming culture is one of the hardest things to come to copes for diehards Obviously BW is going to die sooner or later, that's not what annoys people. What annoys people is people injecting SC2 into BW thread when many people in BW section simply don't follow or care for SC2. | ||
