­Which group of gamers gives off the worse reputation? When you think of socially-inept kids sitting in their mother's basement all day, which game comes to mind first?


Disclaimer: Please note that I'm not trying to imply that all people who play one or both of these games are complete social retards. It's just that they've been given that reputation, so I'm wondering which group has it worse
(and then I'll start playing whatever game has less votes )

From the OP's point of view, anyone playing either WoW or EVE is a fagtard. That's a pitty.

WoW and EVE cannot be compared. WoW is a xp grind quest, and EVE is an ISK grind quest.

Though EVE requires more skill and more maturity to play than WoW. Being a fagtard in EVE will result in your speedy demise.

Nothing wrong with people who play either game, but if you were shown a picture like this

The average person doesn't know what EVE is.

However, they probably know what WoW is.  And they probably think it's gay.

In EVE, you can royally fuck people over

In WoW, you get banned for that shit.

I'd say WoW. Not to say people who play it are worse (I've played it, why would I be dissing myself), but I feel it's a more recognizable game than EVE, thus easier to point fingers at.

You're saying there are in game laws that prohibit you from killing other "things" without asking them in a fight or someshit?

By far the nerdier/geekier game is EVE. Even if they were the same game, just from the fact only nerds/geeks know about and play EVE. "Reputation" is an irrelevant metric in this case because of the massive popularity difference.

After finally clicking on the sticky in here to find out what EVE is (still not quite sure, something with spaceships, I gather), I'm still biased towards suggesting WoW.

Skinny white pale guy, bit of a tech enthusiast, I would actually guess EVE.

WoW players would be more fat, possibly korean with a decent chance of being female.

I would have to say WoW, as EVE isn't as well known.
