"Korean MMO" term used in a degoratory manner.

[Maximvs]

Many speaks of Korean MMO's as pay to win, zerg like, that favorizes toxic players over cool ones, but aren't most Korean mmo's made by NCSoft? Shouldn't we just criticize NCSoft and be a little less racist in the process?

funny nobody complain about gw2, because gw2 is also from them. but many people like gw2

[Guņi~]

As it should? There are exceptions nowadays, but for the last 20 years Korean MMO = PvP focused, P2W garbo

[Atheos A.T. Five]

That would be the same as getting offend by the phrase "Japanese Anime". We know its Japanese anime do to specific characteristics, techniques, etc.., not because of who or where the art was made. It will always be Japanese. Just like Disney, DC, and Bob Ross arts can be identified in the same way.

And here I thought it wasn't possible for the word "racist" to become any less meaningless through misuse.

How is that racist? Koreans aren't a race..you a clown or something?
Asian games are all different, korean games always have been P2W and japanese games PVE and gacha games, chinese games gacha games or gambling games.
You weirdo, stop being like "it's racist" you freak.
Flyff one of the first big korean MMORPGS was completely P2W, you could skip everything by buying Gspross to protect your gear, the only way to get it was through buying it with real life money. Korean games always have been and always will be P2W, just like their hospitals are slowly all converting to pay.
If you have no idea what is going on in a country and why investors are like that, I would just be quiet, it seems you haven't even been to korea once, to say such a stupid statement.
You disgust me.

J-RPGS and J-Pop are my favorite korean tv shows, always watched them in Kantonese.
Especially when I was in brazil china town, speaking taiwanese to my philipino girlfriend.

Not really, it is a KOREAN MMO thing.... I have played at least 10 different Korean MMOs in my time one of them for over 8 years (BDO) and I can tell you their entire design model is predatory at best, the games are literally designed to be cash generators FIRST .... fun second.

This is why I feel the F2P model for MMOs is cancer and I would much rather pay a 15 a month sub and have a dev team that is focused and making a fun game, not some garbage that is designed to be annoying, limit your play time.... then sell you options to get around all the cancer they put in the game in the first place.

coool?

Its also play to play, im 3,646 gear power completely free. Yeah the market is harder to gain lucent; but you can be competitive at like 3,300 gearscore; just trait all your blues with the proper stuff, and fight the people you're strong against. I dont know why we all still gotta call it p2w garbo

[Flaak]

I dont think its racist. The game is of korean roots which is important to everything about the game. I think some people are racist with it but saying its a korean mmo is not a bad thing.

If Jews can be both a race and a religion, I say Korean can be both a race, a country and mmo gamers

The korean mmo genre has evolved and mutated to its final form and there is no undoing it now, it had to mutate to adhere to the market shares. Korean mmo if none have notice its blaring obvious that its a parasitic system, it takes a decade to make so it can generate an IPO. Then it will attract parasitic investors and eventually shares for both public and private. Once release to the public and you guessed it you are the prize, time to suck every drop of your life till you are no more. And then rinse and repeat............ Enjoy the game and move on and EMBRACE THE SUCK!
