Still think DotA's an RTS?

You do not gather resources , you hunt for resources. This resembles all the RPG games like Maple , FF , where you control 1 or a few characters to hunt for that resource.

Contradictions

You are indeed a legendary poster .... big LOL at you

guys , TS is the guy who said west ham is invovled in match fixing and thats why sheffield united not happy .... legendary strike backs lol

Then why did you quote Wikipedia then when they're definition is totally different from yours? Actually, why even have this thread if everyone is going to have their own definitions?

Hell, let's just throw away with "genres" since no one can agree on what a genre really is. Let's just keep the descriptions as detailed as possible so no one could possibly misunderstand what a game is.

So, when Starcraft 2 comes out, it'll be something like this:
Genres are there for a reason. If genres are solely based on individuals perceptions, technically speaking, ANY game could be in any genre.
Observe:
DotA
- First Person Shooter:- I mean, first person doesn't necessarily mean first person view right? I'm still controlling the character in the first person; I'm not using anyone to control them. Plus, you can shoot shit in DotA so therefore its an FPS.

- Racing :- A race is generally a contest to get to one objective faster than your competitor. Since in DotA, you have to race against your opponent to destroy their tree/throne, therefore DotA is a racing game.

- Flight Simulator :- Do the dragons in DotA not simulate flying in the game? Flight sim it is!

- Football :- Football involves two teams on opposing ends trying to score a goal in the opposition corner. Now, a goal is also known as an objective and since the objective of DotA is to destroy the the Tree/Throne at the opposition corner, therefore DotA is a football game (Come to think of it, this definition could also include Battlefield and a slew of team based MP games)

- MMORPG :- Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.
Massive : To me, massive is having more than 5 players Check
Multiplayer: Needs more than one player to play Check
Online: Can be played on B.Net Check
Role-Playing: You have a role in the game... As a hero to defeat the enemy Check
Game: Its fun Check
Conclusion: DotA = MMORPG

... and I could go on and on and I can do this for pretty much EVERY game out there. Doesn't matter that some of these definitions are full of shit right? I mean, according to you EVERYONE's definition is correct no matter how retarded or stupid they are aren't they?
If you really want to argue your point on whether DotA is an RTS or not, use proper points and not immediately dismiss the general consensus. That just makes you look like an arrogant bugger trying to piss ppl off.

The bigger question remains though; Are you intentionally doing this to rile up the RTS gamers in this forum? I know how they sort of mocked you silly in the Starcraft 2 thread and nothing irks an RTS gamer more than DotA (They're eternal enemy) being considered to be an RTS.
