Same Old MMO We've Seen a Million Times

Character Creation: Just like every other MMO, Guild Wars 2 begins with character creation. You choose a race, class, gender . . . blah, blah, blah. When are MMOs going to break away from this tired formula of creating a character and then playing the game? I'm tired of it, but it keeps being regurgitated out by every game that hits the market.
Cities: Like every other MMO, Guild Wars 2 has cities. I knew as soon as I saw that there were cities in this game, just like World of Warcraft, Warhammer, and Dark Age of Camelot, this was going to be the same boring formula we've seen time and time again.
Exploration: As if it were copied straight off of World of Warcraft, this game forces you to explore places to advance the story.
Story: This game has a story. Sound familiar? Every other MMO has a story.
Combat: This is where it is most obvious that Guild Wars 2 is just another WOW clone. The combat is just the standard repetition of hitting things, shooting things, and casting spells . . . LAME. And you do all this WITH WEAPONS. Plus, what is it you fight? That's right, monsters and bandits and crap, just like every other MMO.
Crafting: Crafting is the same in Guild Wars 2 as it is in every other MMO there is. You get equipment, collect supplies, and then turn that supplies into weapons and armor and stuff -- exactly like every other MMO.
PvP: Finally, this game has the same PvP we've seen a thousand times. Once again, it's all about players fighting other players. Nothing new here. No true innovation.
How can ArenaNet continue these lies about innovating, creating a unique experience, and changing the genre, when all they are doing is creating the same game we've seen a million times over?

and one time at band camp.
Which FF Character Are You?
i disagree that any game with character creation, cities, exploration, crafting, and PVP is a wow clone. i think the systems have to be a little more similar than "they exist in some form in both games"
Non nobis Domine, non nobis, Sed Nomini tuo da gloriam
Did it work? I was hoping it would chase away trollbait
On the portion regarding combat, just thought I'd add there is topic claiming the combat is the same as all others because there is a tab targeting (ish) system in place so you should definately make note of that. Other than that it was spot on. Iseewhatyoudidthere.

@ OP Hahaha
Pardon my English as it is not my 1st language
Right, take away everything you claim is same old same old and you got an empty world LMAO. What do you want? By the way you forgot to remove your sig if you hate GW2.
Guild Wars 2 is not that New Thing that people thought it was going to be. That does not mean its a bad game but Its just another mmo to play untill something else comes out.
I see what you did there... Well played... well played.

Maybe you should find a different hobby.
who thought GW2 wasn't going to be an MMO to play until a better one comes out? isn't that what all MMOs are?
I want TRUE innovation!!! Round screens! 4d! The ability to play as a real engineer that builds memory cards for typewriters! A game that plays itself!
I playe in BWE a couple times now and I can say I disagree with the part in red. It is that new thing I thought it was going to be and then some. It's not the messiah that many of the anti GW2 people claim the fans are claiming it is, but I know what the devs have stated and it's there so I didn't have unrealistic expectations.
To the part in green, can't that be said for every MMO someone gets into?

May i introduce :
Which FF Character Are You?
Where did you find this? This is the best MMO I've ever seen!
Curious to see what other mmo is going to beat GW2.
Oh right there aint one that comes even close in the next 5 years.
There might be one from CCP its called World of Darkness, still years and years away.
In the meantime GW2 will serve many of us as a new platform where we can have our dose of PvP/PvE.
And lets face it, mmo's are not for you rofl
well the crafting is pretty much the same ole same..
Nope, its kinda like when you find that special person in your life.. Once you find him / her you stay with them and dont care about what else is out there.
This and it seems I'll be spending more time in D3 and Torchlight 2 until the next best overhyped mmo comes along. There is always Skyrim to play as well.
Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg!

Ah okay, so it's the anti-GW2 fans that are making the part in red up. <eye twitch>
not for me!
i'm like a high school girl dating when it comes to MMOs.
i don't pretend and have no inclination to pretend i want to play Everquest I for the rest of my hopefully long drawn out miserable life.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Totally agree with you OP....nothing new about GW2 at all.....
You want me to pay to play a game I already paid for???
Be afraid.....The dragons are HERE!
Ha, not what I expected but it pretty much comes down to this sort fo thing when people end up complaining about GW2. The complaint threads are like a dynamic event
------->Cash Shop Attack ------>Lack of Release Date------> No Innovation------> Beta Problems------->(repeat)
I'm sorry but the only one saying anything about the second coming is you. Fans of a game accept its flaws and strengths.
I think haunting GW2 threads is a full time job for some people.
How did everyone miss the HUMOR in the OP? It's an hilarious post. We're all too damn serious around here.
