5 MMO-Related Things I Hate

The word hate can have very different levels of meaning. So, to be sure it's clear, the topic of this article refers to things that fall pretty low on the intensity scale. To illustrate what I mean, my wife thinks I hate turnips. I don't. However, when given the option to take or leave them, I'll almost invariably do the latter. This doesn't mean I passionately detest them.

Reloaded and Overloaded

WildStar is back! Well, it didn't really go anywhere to begin with, but to say that Carbine's freshman game was an underappreciated title would be an understatement.
