He lost me at WvWvWvWPFFffftttt.
*Edit*
He's just a WoW troll thats why his WvW pics are wrong in every way.
Yea PvWall comment was really an imbecilic thing to say especially when arguably the greatest PvP game ever released (DAoC) is basically getting a make over.

i can understand the viewpoint of the writer.
when my wife first started playing games with me she too was horrible at them and hated them.
with proper guidance though she improved and found herself enjoying them much more.
the author of that article simply needs a kind and patient husband and i think things will look up.
Apparently he never played GW1 otherwise he wouldn't make comments like that.
Gaining skill points has always been like that since GW1. Yes, you can hit the level cap but it doesn't mean you'll get ALL the skills. Since the game is skill based, you would want to "collect" as many skills as you can so you can make different builds for all kinds of circumstances.
Besides, if GW1 can last 6 years, I'm sure GW2 will last even longer. Unless GW2 REALLY screwed up which I really don't see it from happening.

eh?
Anet will, we won't have to.
I did in my comments of his blog and did it with the help of DAoC's success, WoodenPotatoes and the Anet dev team. Easily the easiest debunking this side of the Moonlandings.

If you zone in with 8-10 friends, or even a small group, I can maybe see it being a nice diversion to go kill a bunch of NPC guards at one of the random outposts and otherwise inflicting maximum annoyance. But knocking on a wall and then killing a Keep Lord and then losing said keep a few hours later after you turn in for the night when the West coast PvP guild logs on? And god help you if you want to do WvW below level 80 – you get leveled up to 80, but neither your gear nor your skills are leveled likewise. I imagine we will all get pretty adept at playing Angry Birds one-handed as we navigate the 2.25 minute graveyard run for the millionth time.
"Quote from source link"
With a Group of 5 you can cap supply camps and kill supply buffalo(whatever there called) Also take flag points that watch roads(one elite). You would be able to set up a Catapult on a cliff facing the door of said keep or rush it with 2 battering ram. Regardless if your are lvl 80 trew actuall lvling or auto 80 you do not get more skills on seige weponry. You can also repair walls/ gates as well as anyone else.
Upgrading a keep properly will make it so your keep lasts much longer and with boiling fire/ballista/ arrowcart/and cannons at your disposel noone can just zerg a group of ten holding a fortified keep at max lvl regardless if its all pure 80 vrs lowbie 80s. It's still going to be quite the little battle with 2 people repairing the gates, the giant Swords crossed on the map letting the rest of your server know its being attacked, and the constant large structured pvp from seige weapons.
Also there is no graveyard, you just repspawn at desired waypoint or get rezzed. If he means the walk back to the place he died it is purposly set up like that for spawn abuse reasons.
Ironically while I totally disagree with the guy's blog in content, I agree with his conclusion.
GW2's success is not because of DE, B2P, level field sPvP, WvW or horizontal progression. GW2 is successful because its design, gameplay, philosophy is fundamentally different and aims at a market that has no other competitions, a market that had for the past decade been underestimated and neglected by the MMO sector.
There are a hundred MMO out there with gear treadmills and static quests, there are few if any out there that had taken GW2's approach. The MMO market for grinds, gated progression and gear treadmills is oversaturated while people like me who are tired of the same old raid drama over gear and chasing the dangling carrot only to chase more of them, are left without.
DE, WvW and horizontal progression are simply manifestations and natural outcomes of the fundamental design philosophy Anet has chose to adopt. It didn't have to be DE, WvW, no matter what system Anet come up with for the game under their design philosophy of the game should be designed to be fun will always appeal to me, and undoubtly plenty others.

The game launches in about 7 days and they just want to get the most out of them.
I mean, once the game launches, people will be too busy playing and the haters will lose a large chunk of their audience.
Besides that, who cares what some random blogger thinks?
Because i can.
I'm Hopeful For Every Game, Until the Fan Boys Attack My Games. Then the Knives Come Out.
Logic every gamers worst enemy.

How about you post a summery here. Because, by posting a link and giving a narrow minded view of the narrow minded blog, you're just having people click said blog to see what the content is. This is what the blogger wants. Congradulations, he's smarter than you.
whahahahahah wish idiocy was cured when GW2 launched, shamefully it a human thing. Not getting rid of it that easy :P
Cant Cure stupid. Think about it, WoW players needed to be told as a Loading screen tip not to stand in fire. and they still did.
My old guild leader used to say "screw em, you cant heal though stupid."
Because i can.

I remember this and can't help to chuckle about it.

And you know whats even more funny ?
Those wow fanboys saying they have 9.1 million sub players left
log in at WoW EU with a trial account on prime time and check the servers list.
128 servers
15 full
20 medium
93 low
You play I am legend in a game that says we have 9.1 million subs left -_-
In reality 6 million players are from internet cafe's in asia who pay 1 cent per hour of gameplay in WoW.
WoW EU is death, all raiding guilds that raid serious transfered off to one of those 15 servers to recruit raiders and have alot of difficulty even on those (full servers)
I just chuckle when they spit shit on GW2.
MoP will be a disaster for Blizzard, many serious players cant buy MoP and wont do so, thats why over 300 members in our guild just quited WoW in the last year.
Wow is a boring carrot on a stick selling lies and milking out their playerbase untill they can release Titan.
In the meantime alot of us are having epic siege battles.
Competetive balanced Structured PvP
Super fun dynamic events, some even with epic scaled boss fights.
Its a wet dream for competitive players
Let wow fanboys dream their dream for they believe wow is better then GW2
One day they wake up and see how blizzard robbed their money since Cataclysm.
When you say things like this though do you really sound any better than WoW people "spitting shit", all you're really doing. I get wht your trying to say and agree partially but your just doing the same thing.
