When I go to SRK, or 8wayrun, I notice that those people actually want the same things out of the game that I do for the most part. There are casuals elements too, but they are not aggressive to me. They are sometimes not entirely educated on the game and I have to correct them, but they understand this and are even willing to inquire further most of the time.
That's the difference in mentalities. People on SRK troll DOA because its well known to have poor mechanics and a spotty community history. We approached them, acknowledged the truth behind the allegations and dispelled the myths. We didn't turtle up like ignorant fanboys and start shit talking their own games like the entirety of DOAW would have done. We also told them we were making a new community and trying to rid the game if its biggest problems in DOA 5 if we could. There isn't much left to troll in that from a competitive gamers standpoint, and thats why our relations are much better now.
Every time I go to DOAW however, someone is always there to argue with me about something. Our views are not nearly aligned enough that I would say we share the same knowledge, or want the game to be the same game. So there is no middle ground to relate to. They don't like it when we tell them they are flatout wrong, either. They view that as an attack. With that said, I don't know how well your efforts over there have been. I'm not attacked on sight, and there's a few people over there I genuinely like including a guy who just recently asked me for Bayman advice. They don't really get the big picture though, and they are still too willing to talk about gameplay related elements without attempting to understand them.
