Why Does everyone Hate Turned Based RPG's Nowadays?

Turn based RPGs are slow and boring - you have to be smart to work out the techinques and they are very repetitive when you get stuck and have to keep trying different things to progress in the game. Turn based are 80's style games and should be left in the past. New games should not be made using turn based but it is ok to relaunch touched up classic games and bring them to the handhelds, XBox Live Arcade, WiiWare or PSN for gamers who like these games can play them.

I prefer Real time RPGs -have better battle/combat systems and are easier for people to pick up and play. They are fun and enjoyable and will appeal to a wider audience than old dated turn based RPGs. Modern RPGs non-turn based sell a lot more than turn based RPGs in the modern age - year 2009 WRPGs-FTW.

It sounds like you suck at strategy and you perfer mindless button mashing

That isn't even close to fair. I like turn-based RPGs but you can't go accusing some other genre of button mashing where the primary power strategy for most turn-based JRPG gamers is going into random battles and selecting "fight" over and over.
