The maturity of the posts on WoW forums reflects the maturity of the
people that use it.

The WoW forums are generally absolutely pathetic in the quality of
posts.

That's one of the reasons I can't stand web boards--no filtering.

Hang out here; the atmosphere is pretty easygoing as usenet groups go, and
on the rare occasions someone does post a "lol noob" type response, you
can easily killfile them.

come post here!

We are (generally)friendly and we try to avoid to much cryptic jargon !
and we have lot's of great experts with knowledge on a hundred little
known facets of WoW life!


So, what was your question?

find it kind of funny myself.

A new player asks a question and Mr 'I play 24 hours a day and pwn all'
posts 'L2P' and presumeably thinks he is the
coolest thing on the planet for his response.

I see it on general though in-game, new players ask where a mob is or
something and get a pile of sarcastic
replies in response, i remember when i got my first char to level 40 i
couldnt find my summon mount icon, and
hadnt checked my pack so i asked on general. Ok pretty dumb question, but i
had one guy spam me with
'lol noooob lolololol nooob' for about 20 mins untill i worked out how to
/ignore.
having said that some people are helpfull, i find rp servers are better
overall.


In contrast this place seems a lot friendlier, has helped me an awful lot

The WoW forums are awful - the european ones are slightly better, in that
you can actually get sone sensible discussion going from time to time but
the american ones look so bad when I read them - I wouldn't ever read them
if the official info that gets posted there filtered through to ours more
often. In the end this place is *much* better if you've got a question or
anything you want to discuss
