A beautiful lady cooking you the most amazing meal ever...You take a bite and you're blown away...This is the most incredible food you have ever tasted....Then she says 'wait' before squating over your plate and taking a dump right into your food and revealing that she is really a man...'bon apetite' he tells you with a cheeky wink... |

Dust is like shit. It stinks, you don't want anything to do with it, but at the end of the day, you realize you come back to the same thing everyday and learn to appreciate it. |

As long as you use "like" in comparing dust to things like you did in the title, it is no longer a metaphor, it's just a worthless simile.
Dust is your dead father who no matter what tells you that you're not good enough, and that you belong in a garbage can.
If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

The game, as itself, is not bad at all. Its a great concept with alot of good assets. its the community and its server system that makes it so detrimental.
If we had more people that were like "Lets have fun, this is a game" instead of "this aint not game ******, this is my life!", it probably wouldnt be that bad of a place.
I guess the best metaphor would be comparing it to a sunny 3rd world country. Everything about it seems great until you realize the people who live there are the biggest problem, followed by malaria. |

This is a simile, not a metaphor.
Simile is when something is "like" something else. Metaphor is when something "is" something else.

Someone doesn't have to be in a league or tournament. Im referring to people who use 6 man proto squads vs new players in militia gear. People who just want to farm numbers at any price, even if it means the cost we all pay is a game with a much lower population than it should have.
People forget that with online multiplayer game, it takes other people who want to participate in order for the game to work properly. Since we are doing metaphors:
A 6 man proto squad is like playing monopoly with 5 other people, except then 2 of them join up and begin to be rude and heavy handed to everyone else. At some point, anyone who was there "just to have a good time" is going to pick up their drink and say "uhh you guys can go ahead and play, im done for now". Then at the end of the game, you are left with just the 2 cretins who valued their monopoly money more than other players. |

The title says metaphor, then gives an example of what he is looking for (Dust is like). The example is a simile. This just irks me, as these are easy to understand the difference. Also, I learned this when I was about 10, so it seems like something everyone should know.

Lol alright there fancy pants I do know the difference...A bit picky though don't you think? (Obviously not)...Why are similes worthless BTW? Kinda the same thing just with 'like' in the sentence, as you so kindly pointed out...Just a bit of fun dude chill  |

Broham, the mere thought of saying the phrase "this isn't English class," is grounds to sh*t on you for being ignorant in the states.

And actually you did lead into a metaphor at first with the title saying dust is like then onstead of restarting the metaphor gou kept going with the thread.
