It's sad that manipulation like this takes place, but I think that for the majority of the time it falls within the boundaries of legitimately expressed opinions, so the only real effect is a slightly altered impression of community consensus. I don't think that influences player retention as much as expanding the player base, so it's still in a game's best interest to address the issues the community presents if it wants to preserve long-term player numbers. Did you just write an apologia for apologists? mind = blown | ||

Maybe it's more prevalent than I think, but it seemed to be pretty rampant with Guild Wars 2 and SWTOR. Both those launches had batshit insane fanboys everywhere on forums. | ||

Actually I'm almost dead certain it's happening here. Loads of low post-count posters (sub 500 posts) trying to claim that a 2 and a half year old game is still going through teething issues, and then worshipping every new patch as if it's a magic bullet--and that's when they're not claiming HOTS (read: 60$ to blizzard) will make everything better. | ||

Some (a lot) of people just like to defend things they like over the internet, and as any argument over the internet, what they say doesn't really have to make sense. But it's the same for the other side, it's not hard to find unfounded hate as easily as unreasonable love in the internet. Sure, some may actually be fake posters, but if this starts getting more attention, I just hope it won't become another insult thrown around blindly just because someone disagrees with you, like "trolling". | ||
