Line 81:
* [[Fan Hater]]: One of the most plagued games by this. Many fanhaters also refuse to acknowledge that the game actually ''isn't'' addictive and it's not causing the players to give up their lives.
** Players of [[Eve Online]] seem to have a major superiority complex about [[WoW]]. Mention [[WoW]] in any forum or in the in-game chat in Eve and you'll be buried in people shouting "Eve is a much more complex and difficult game and [[WoW]] is the training wheels of the internet and..." It's rather sad considering Eve itself has enough [[Fan Hater|Fan Haters]] that its playerbase could be expected to be a little wiser.
** Mentioning [[WoW]] is practically taboo in the Guild Wars community. Anyone suggesting implementation of a feature from or making a comparison to [[WoW]] on a Guild Wars fan forum is quickly shot down by legions of other members insisting "Guild Wars is nothing like that piece of crap" and all but calling the initial poster an idiot for liking [[WoW]]. Invariably at least one person will bring up the Skinner box argument that "you only enjoy it because they're manipulating your psychology." This really is the case with GW fans and any [[P 2 P]]P2P MMO (Aion, Rift, etc... SWTOR is the current punching bag), but [[WoW]] is generally the most loathed.
* [[Foe Yay]]: In ''Wrath of the Lich King'', the Lich King and Tirion Fordring have it in spades.
** Varian/Garrosh is practically the fandom's memetic OTP.
