entitlement: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/entitlement?region=us http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/entitlement pay: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pay http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/pay?region=us You use the word "entitlement" so negatively and so commonly in that negative light that you are obviously attempting to attach a wrongness to it. Yet, if someone feels an entitlement to a good/better product when they have paid (made payments for) for the product/service via subscription, are they not justified as a customer to feel entitled to a satisfactory product/service? If I go to a barbershop and pay the barber for a service (cutting my hair), I would feel entitled to a good haircut in exchange for the payment of money given. Is that wrong? | ||

No one's really arguing about his ability to speak English. | ||

Theres actually very little wrong with Moletrap if you accept him for what he is, a play by play caster. He is not there for you, hes not an analyst, like Tasteless his commentating style leans towards the casual, to help expand the viewer base beyond the hardcore. Also Moletrap has improved to the point were half your ignorant complaints aren't even valid anymore. He initially had a problem with talking over his co-caster probably due to inexperience with GOMs setup and his own long term status as a youtube solo caster. So what are you left with? His voice? That is an absolutely unreasonable complaint especially when its not actually something he can do much about. I find it funny that a bunch of nerds are complaining about a high pitched voice when many of you probably have the same problem, with your inhalers and ear medicines. :p Lets put it this way, what if we had a female caster, how would you angry haters handle that? I honestly believe this voice issue is just something those unreasonable enough to object to have to deal with in your own time, and something GOM shouldnt pay any respect to. At the end of the day all this hate comes down to is intolerance to different accents and tones of voice, its actually very shameful...... | ||

Every night he says stuff either blatently wrong, or completely misses the point of what his co-caster is talking about and replies with something that leaves his partner speechless for a few seconds. To be fair, there are very few out there whom are better at casting, and I certainly couldn't do any better myself. However, people are being overly critical because they are used to casters such as Tastosis and Day[9], whom are simply on another level. Perhaps he just needs time to get his craft perfected? | ||

DOAs getting better at the jokes (gradually lol) and Moletrap the hard worker he is, will probably start watching alot more TV to get half these references. Cant blame Moletrap for that either, its hardly original humour, quoting TV shows is just about the lowest form of comedy there is lol, completely reliant on whether you've watched and somehow picked up the quotes word for word. Personally memory isn't my strongest trait, so taking part in this kind of banter can be tricky. Its actually a little goofy of DOA to expect Moletrap to know all these saying without prior warning. | ||

I wouldn't want to watch ice hockey if the person didn't know much about the game or coaching decisions, it's half the enjoyment | ||

Also the casters don't necessarily have the same view as we do, Id imagine they spend most of their time watching their own spectator screen ingame rather than the GOM live feed, so obviously they can miss things we see. | ||

I just think its part of the fun, gives me a little sense of superiority when I noticed something the casters didn't. Also the casters don't necessarily have the same view as we do, Id imagine they spend most of their time watching their own spectator screen ingame rather than the GOM live feed, so obviously they can miss things we see. The thing is Tastosis give a logical prediction of what can happen, Moletrap doesn't. That is the reason why some people don't want him casting since it can be really frustrating listening to a illogical prediction when you, yourself, know that it is an implausible prediction. | ||

One specific example is hearing that since the T hadn't gotten gas they were going to go for gasless expand... except the T was at 12 and promptly went normal 13 gas. That's beyond basic. That's not even low NA Masters, that's something my bronze league (equivalent) friend who I used to play vs AI with knows. | ||

You're on this site, do you fall under that (ridiculous) stereotype? If not, why assume others do? I know plenty of athletic "jock" type people who are asthmatic, and plenty of "nerds" who don't come CLOSE to the stereotype that you portrayed. The only thing I can assume is YOU have a whiney high pitch voice with an inhaler and ear medicine if that's how you somehow came to the conclusion that everyone on the internet must be like that too. Lets put it this way, what if we had a female caster, how would you angry haters handle that? I honestly believe this voice issue is just something those unreasonable enough to object to have to deal with in your own time, and something GOM shouldnt pay any respect to. We HAD a female caster, the outcry of how terrible people felt she was was FAR and above that of moletrap. Do you really think it's unreasonable for people to have legitimate criticisms of a caster's knowledge, personality, and voice? MOST of the criticisms of him in this thread are perfectly reasonable "his voice irritates the crap out of me", "he really doesn't know much about the game" etc are blunt, but fine. "OMG I HATE HIM SCREW YOU GOM" is obviously unreasonable, but it's NOT unreasonable to give feedback on a product that is paid for. | ||

Someone having an annoying voice that obviously a lot of people, including myself, cannot stand, is not something to complain about when all a caster does is talk? If he knew what he was talking about, then maybe it would be a little bit justified. Yeah he can't do anything about his terrible voice, that just means they shouldn't use him. Being a play by play caster is the easiest thing to do, so it's not like they can't find someone to replace him. | ||
