(no subject)
I think a lot of what turned me off of Champions Online was the playerbase.
Specifically, the defensiveness of the playerbase. CO's missions tend to be built on, and I quote, "quirky cultural references" (to be fair, it's a quote of a quote). This means that major plot arcs turn out to be references to something from pop culture or other, much less the side missions.
So I mention that I don't get the vast majority of these references, and so the missions do not hold the same sort of humour appeal they evidently do to others. This results in other players taking my lack of knowledge (or interest, to be honest) to be some sort of moral failing.
I don't understand it. Now that I've unsubscribed, I suppose I never will.
