I saw this question posed to Reddit the other day and thought it sufficiently interesting enough to want to post it to MOP’s community with some clarification. The question is, what unpopular opinion do you hold about MMOs? In other words, what is something that you feel or believe that seems to go against the apparent majority opinion?
I always get some flak when I espouse my firm belief that story is not only important to MMOs but essential to it. I love MMOs with talented storytellers behind the scenes — and I also appreciate games that give players the adequate tools to create their own stories. Stories are such an integral part to the play experience that it weirds me out to see backlash against their very existence in MMOs.
What about you? Do you like a game that gets a lot of hate? Are you a fan of a system that gets spat on by the crowd? Are you totally OK with lockboxes? Spill!
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
