I've played Matrix Online, Everquest 2, Runescape, and WoW..aswell as too many single player games to count...atleast a dozen...

all of those (if i remember well,never played runescape so could nt say when/what it looked like) were released after WoW , there were games before those that used UI ,mini maps , party icons and whatnot , as i said in my first post Blizzard did nt invent anything you listed at all they stole it from other games ,even Warcraft was stolen from games workshop says much uh ?

Everquest II came out before World of Warcraft.  World of Warcraft and Everquest II have very similar UI's: in fact, they play very similarly.  This is likely because they both took a lot from Everquest, which of course was influenced by MUDs and various crpgs.  Runescape classic and Runescape II also came out before WoW, if after Everquest (1).  And that's all I have to note on the topic, as the OP really isn't worth the attention being paid to them.

Meh, I don't think he's a troll, he just doesn't know much about the history of PC games. Everything in WoW is "ripped off" from some earlier game, most notably Everquest (if you dig around you'll find that they openly admitted it - they did surveys of how people thought the EQ experience could be built on and improved, and implemented a lot of the players' suggestions), but also their own earlier games. But EQ itself borrowed from previous games, which borrowed from previous games.
Take another classic example: WASD. Most people think that came in with Half Life, but actually there was a company called Looking Glass that used a very similar system in its games (Ultima Underworld, System Shock I, Terra Nova) long before.
So really there's no "ripping off". If a system works, people copy it - it's the same in games, in films, in music, in everything. That's how professionals work: they notice what works that other people do, and copy it, usually trying to improve it and adding their own modifications. Why reinvent the wheel?
As to DA, much of its gameplay is inherited from its own previous games - if anything, it's more likely that Blizzard were influenced by early BioWare, rather than current BioWare being influenced by recent Blizzard.

Seriously I'd expect someone who has a child coming in one month to have more constructive things to do as well as more satisfying source of pleasure than trolling on video-game's forums.

Oh I don't know, I mean his wife is bloated beyond recognition, his live is about to end in a month, there's nothing on TV (There's never anything on TV) and he doesn't strike me as the kind of person who can focus on these difficult, tiny symbols in those paper things for extended periods of time. Also, this is the internet, so it's save to assume he's lying through his teeth.

Point is, apart from contemplating suicide(/preparing to fake their death) and trolling on video-game forums, what's a freshly-baked father supposed to do? 

In other news, scientists have determined that it is still impossible to steal any idea from Blizzard, they are however unwavering in their determination to prove that Blizzard actually did have an idea of their own at some point. Until this hypothesis is proven however, anyone claiming to have performed or witnessed such a feat should be considered a liar and fraud.
Of course, personally I think that evidence of Blizzard actually having any idea of their own is about as likely to exist as evidence that black holes secretly spew out matter when nobody is watching.

We have to give the op credit, he chose the perfect title for his thread.

What is more moronic than wasting your time playing a game you don't like, made by a company who makes games you don't like, then going on forums and complaining about it to people you don't like....odd....sounds like your wife is a real lucky gal...do you play with her and complain about it when your done as well...or maybe she does the complaining to someone else.....
