That's really my core worry. I bet there are dozens of blog posts that were not made because the poster couldn't figure out a way to write the opinion without losing the thread in a miasma of qualifiers and disclaimers, all in the interest of trying to keep the peace.

I think people should be able to write about what they want to write about. If you still love WoW and write about that - do it. If you love SW:ToR and want to write about that - do it. If you like both - write about both! What frustrates me usually is the whole (which you touched upon) "break-up" mentality of some people who do leave WoW for other games. It's like when you go through a proper break-up with a partner at times. They will tell you everything that is wrong with WoW, and how glad they are to have stopped. (Most "I quit"-threads on forums are like this.) Then if they went for another game, they seem to have a need to explain to us how absolutely awesome this game is compared to WoW. I have no interest in SW:ToR whatsoever. That doesn't mean it can't be a good game. Just as I don't think WoW is a bad game and if I leave WoW it won't because it's a "bad game", but due to other reasons. I like to think that there's a nice middle ground, and some people seem to be able to play both games (or more even) without issues - while others are not. That said, I also think it's important that we should be able to write about the less good things about any game, without that meaning "it sucks". I have issues with WoW, as I have issues with any game I ever play. There's always something you like less. Just like I'm sure there are parts of SW:ToR that are less good. Doesn't make either game any worse. And I'm rambling, sorry *lol* I hope this makes sense, I'm not sure it does. I blame being sick for the past week and running a high fever. It's totally an excuse, right? I think you’re making a very good point. I think people should be able to write about what they want to write about. If you still love WoW and write about that – do it.

I think all the "wow-killer" spam with regards to STWOR happened so long ago, most consider it said (and those that don't, are probably not in my reading list, anyway). What I saw with Rift was more praise for the interesting mechanics, which I appreciated. I think we found that that can't carry an MMO by itself, though, so that dried up quickly enough. The concept of "WoW killer" is the ultimate compliment to Blizzard. WoW's the game to beat. I can deal with that more than spam, any day of the week :) Gee, that DOES sound familiar!

I hated that so much. I mean, even the talk that Rift was "the WoW killer" automatically throws it into a competitive/bitter divide. I haven't heard anything like that about SWTOR, and I am glad! :D Oh man, yeah I wasn’t even talking about the achievement spam (which WAS annoying), but rather the flood of people who were SO EAGER to tell us how good Rift was, or more specifically, how much BETTER than WoW it was, and how WoW was stupid because of this, and how basically anyone who still liked WoW was dumb and needed to get with the times.

What I *did* see that annoyed me to no end was the constant stream of Rift achieese spams in Twitter, which did result in drops. Dunno, but maybe you got something there.

Or instead of writing about SWTOR on their (formerly) WoW blogs, making new SWTOR blogs instead? I know I sure hated the Rift back and forth and supposed rivalry.
