Literally within minutes of Wildstar putting up a facebook post, trolls belch out 'Game is over RIP!' 'Going free to play in a month!' Not even criticism or anything that points to what their beef is, just pure trolling.The fact that it's the same people over and over would indicate that they're motivated simply to scare off new players.
 
I love this game. I've loved watching it work and grow and build itself, and that building is going to need new players. New players that are probably being scared off.I'm not saying we should all go on and tell the trolls to shove it where the sun don't shine, but consider giving the Wildstar FB posts just a like to show we atleast outnumber the trolls or post what you like about this game. We are many and deserve the respect of such. Alot of consumers use social media to make their decisions, and as it is Wildstar is being unfairly represented.
 
We're all looking forward to there being more people around, Carbine is working to fix that, I think there's something we can be doing too.

			People were doing that during beta. Nothing to be done about it. It got drowned out by people begging for beta invites, but it was still there.

			Trolling on facebook is popular hobby for quite a bit of people. I use FB to see posts related to all kinds of MMOs and no matter the game it is always there.

As far as the examples of what's posted... have to keep in mind the subjectivity... some will agree, while others disagree.  I myself, and a decent amount I chat with, lean towards agreeing unfortunately... if the shoe fits and all that.  Not everybody can think and see things exactly the same way, otherwise we'd be the Borg and boring as all get out.  By definition, I wouldn't say what's given as examples of posted is necessarily trolling... just because we don't agree with something doesn't make it trolling.  Now, if people were posting stuff that's blatant BS, like "Farmville is better than Wildstar", or perhaps "Only rejects play that" or whatever... then yeah, definitely trolling. ;)
 
EDIT: This thread is only telling one side of the story... just went to check out the FB page out of curiosity... there's pretty much just as many fanboy/white-knight posts (actually, quite a bit more-so even) going out of their way to troll/instigate haters, or even just those having issues or that are unhappy with the state of things... so it's kind of an even 50/50 (if that) to be totally honest.

I have to agree. I really believe it's WoW reject fanboys spewing their hatred cause they feel threatened of WildStar. I think it's hilarious because for them to hate this game so much, they sure do enjoy spending their time on WilStar's fb post trolling. 
 
I actually enjoy reading the crap those reject fanboys post. I read it during my morning coffee and smoke before going to work. I use it for my trolling exercise of the day. Keeps my brain (along with coffee) get energized and my sarcastic comebacks refreshed for the work day ahead lol

Three things I feel I will share about your post...
 
#1 I like Wildstar but the game has a lot of issues and im not talking about bugs, its bleeding players because of carbine not providing casuals players content at launch as well as a long boring attunement process, as well as many other things I could mention.
 
#2 If someone is so weak minded that they base their decision to buy a game based on FB posts, then good ridden's, I wouldn't want nor should you want those kinds of sheeple filth wasting space on the servers. The kinds of people who buy cloths just because justin beiber is wearing it, or because Shaq endorses it. Whats wrong with this generation of youth. Entitled, self absorbed, socially inept sheep. 
 
#3 DON'T FEED THE TROLLS
 
P.S. I Believe some of what you read on wildstars FB is not trolling but upset customers. not all but definitely some...

			I "Liked" the Wildstar page, but I won't read anything except the original posts. Facebook is a cesspit of idiocy, trolls and people whose parents didn't raise them properly.

			Reading what they say is an excuse for me to be randomly smug.

I am also not so sure I'd want to play with anyone who got turned off a game by what the dolts on Facebook had to say.
 
Seriously. If your brain is so weak that random people talking noise is enough to make you form an opinion, I want nothing to do with you.

One thing I learned a long time ago in management, and it's one thing I always need to remind myself of in management; You have people who communicate well and voice concerns appropriately and you have whiners. People think you shouldn't give the whiners any real weight because they are just ... well whining. Yet those are still your employees and even if you can't stand their approach they are expressing disatisfaction and unmet wants or needs.
 
I see trolls as the same way. Trust me, I'd like to throttle most of them and some are purely trolling - thoughtlessly because they are sheep. It's become common and monkey see, monkey do. Others just haven't developed their communication skills as well as they should or are just too lazy to type out thoughtful responses. Their concerns are just as valid though.
 
The only difference from me typing a paragraph summing up my points and backing my feelings with things I have seen and someone saying "RIP Wildstar" is the effort involved. Yet the thought remains the same.

People do this to the Alienware facebook page.
97% of the comments on the Alienware pages are harassment, hate speech and trolling.
 
I love Alienware's stuff and how they've treated me as a customer, it feels almost personal seeing all that hateful stuff. Alienware's treated me like gold yet all people do is post hateful lies about them on their facebook and social media pages.
 
People are trashy, and it's sad.

			I usually pop in with a little bit of reality now and then but its pretty unreal how much hate the game gets on FB, and its usually from the same people.

WoW players don't feel threatened by WIldstar, they barely know WIldstar exists. The ones that have played it, judging by anecdotal evidence on the forums have both good and bad to say about the game and ultimately left for the same reasons as non WoW players, too tedious, grindy and time consuming without much to offer non raiders. When articles like the recent wildstar based comic are discussed on the WoW forums I see very little that is outright hate, trolling or immaturity towards Wildstar
 
you might be surprised if you head over to the WOW forums to find that WIldstar is discussed without lots of trolling and hatred, I don't think I could say the same for any WoW discussion on the WIldstar forums

So Carbine decided to "advertise" with yet another social media site and people are saying the same things there as they say here, and you are all upset? I am of the firm opionion that if you MUST "put yourself out there" be prepared for the flack. Look around you, even the forums are dead. Just the last die-hards hanging on. Hell, the only reason I am here is because I paid my sub with credd. Had I not earned enough, I wouldnt even be playing because I just wont spend the cash while the game is in this state.
 
TLDR: You went with Social Media. You get what you pay for. Damn, if you managed the game like you micro-managed the forums, we'd be getting somewhere.
