My vote would go for not any particular franchise, but for the RPG-purists who won't look twice at anything that doesn't have six hundred lines of text for every NPC and needs intricate walk-throughs just so you don't accidentally make the wrong build of character and can't progress through the game (Which, by the way, isn't really role-playing if you physically cannot progress through a game without building up specific stats).

Do you know of a video game franchise that has a pleasant fanbase? Or do you know of anything that has a pleasant fanbase for that matter?
This. I remember a quote from a Something Awful forum "All of the 'normal people' are no longer part of the 'Fallout Community'. They just like the games. The 'Fallout Community' have been refined and distilled into glittering gems of hatred."JesterRaiin said:
And its true. I'm beginning to wonder if the "true" Fallout these guys worship ever actually existed, or if it was just some group misconception that has developed into a messianic ideal.
Also, any game/tabletop/card game/whatever that develops a strong "lore culture". These guys can be real snobs if you aren't operating on the same level of understanding they are, especially if the series has been around a while. You can see it everywhere.
Call of Duty, mainly because they are the ones I have to deal with (or just mute), when I play the game.
Mmmm, flamebait. Nom-nom-nom.
Personally, I'm torn between the online FPS angry little boy parade and the incredibly whiny and arrogant RPG crowd.
But of course those are just unpleasant subsets of groups that are otherwise composed of sane and reasonable adults who blah blah blah etc.

Wow Raiders, The most elitist nutjobs ever, And only because they want Shinies and nothing more.
