It's a real shame, since all it really serves to accomplish is drive away enthusiastic players from posting on the official boards of most MMO's. I often asked players I met on WoW as to why they didn't post on the official site and the answer was almost always along the lines of 'it's an awful place'.
Well, it is for the most part a terrible place. Â You have to have thick skin if you're going to step out in the WoW forums.
On the other hand, there are bastions of goodness. Â The Healing Forums and the Tanking Forums are two examples of places where you can get real advice, honest answers. Â The Healing Forums even has an Off-Topic thread that's like a chat lounge people hang out in.
I'll try and check them out at some point. Granted, I can't post since my WoW subscription has been cancelled but I suppose it makes a lot of sense that the healing board is rich with friendly folk! I've always favoured the DPS role, personally - I tend to make all sorts of stupid mistakes if people put in charge of tanking or healing. I might give it a go in FFXIV, though.
