The biggest flaw with WoW is it leads you around by the nose and gives you no freedom at all. The longer WoW has been around the cruddier it has gotten for this one flaw in their quest design. ...

I just enter a zone and go wherever the resource nodes and events take me. I do usually try to complete the zone but that is really a secondary objective. I also don't just run past mobs or use...

Hackers rarely steal game accounts in a way that game companies can really stop. The vast majority of game accounts are stolen by poor account/client security.

Niche or not I can safely say that the IGN winners are almost universally horrible. Not that they are bad games but they almost never pick one of the 3 or 4 best games of the actual year. I have no...

That post pretty much describes GW1 for me. I can't think of another game that I wanted to like as much as I wanted to like GW1 but every time I played it I just got bored right away and would quit....

Actually killing mobs can easily give as much XP as doing hearts. You just look for the mobs with the XP bonus. You find a good pack with heavy bonus and you will easily outpace hearts. I think...

If you find leveling in GW2 to be a grind I think you just don't like the leveling aspect of MMO's because it is about the least grindy leveling experience I've seen. I just log on and do whatever...

Personally I'm not really interested in an end game that is just run dungeons over and over, especially an escalating difficulty model that is almost certainly going to lead to elitist play. This...

My theory is that the world isn't perfect and some people want to complain every time it isn't. Sorry but the level of product that GW2 promised and the level of product they released is better than...

That is a very circular argument though. There is no reason to keep playing WoW at end game either, you get bigger numbers and that is about it. What is a reason to replay a game is going to vary...

I'm all for gear progression as long as you can get that progression from multiple paths. Add some super rare items and allow you to craft the gear. Allow you to get it via PvP. Allow you to get...

It doesn't absolve the company but I've never played a PC game that actually included everything they said would be in it, especially an MMO. Some are missing huge chunks of what they said like WoW...

I won't derail the thread by answering that Jim Hunter but there are other posts on the forum that go into open world PvP. I'll gladly comment on it in one of those.

GW2 is a great game as long...

I agree. If you don't obsess over raiding then GW2 is a great game. It just seems to be the biggest issue ex-WoW players have with the game so I brought it up.



WvW is nothing at all like...

There isn't any real PvP so you don't have to worry about getting attacked. If what you love about WoW is the raiding or just farming gear you probably won't like GW2.

I loved WoW and played it off and on for like 6 years from back when the level cap was 30 in early beta to a little after cataclysm which I think ruined the game. At no point in that entire time did...

Well I obviously don't like that there isn't a real PvP server.

I don't particularly care for how the downranking has worked out. It definitely has its advantages but I find it is a bit too...

The person was kicked out of the group for being a tool, not because of anyone be elitist. I don't see how the title of this thread makes any sense.

Kill stuff between hearts and you should never run into problems with outleveling content even if you only do one zone per level range. If you do tradeskills as well you will find that you struggle...

No I'm talking about a year ago. Raid gear still blows away the basic PvP gear in WoW. It doesn't blow away the rated arena gear but it still to this day blows away the basic easy to obtain PvP...

This isn't true though. My last couple WoW characters did not raid and they simply could not get into any real single group content. They also got completely destroyed in PvP against a raid geared...

Then make the gear raid specific and only usable in raid instances. You definitely cannot allow it in WvW. Stop and think of it this way, what if WvW handed out by far the best gear in the game and...

This is the type of thinking that I'm against. Nobody needs better gear, they want better gear. Somebody shouldn't be blocked from getting the best gear in the game just because they don't play the...

I'm fine with Raids as long as they don't hand out better gear than you can get doing other parts of the game. It can lead to gear faster which is fine, just not better. Someone shouldn't be...

I'm not trying to defend anyone but I've never played an MMO that didn't break stuff every time they put out a patch. I think it is safer to assume that it is just very complicated than it is to say...
