Oh no need to thank me. You've commented negatively in just about every GW2 thread in existence. "Showing everyone the shortfalls of GW2" ? No that's just the links to your fancy doo opinions. Which I'm pretty sure you would use a giant laser beam to burn it into the freggin moon if you could.
The only saving grace here is that you seem to complain about Swtor even more. I do wonder if there are actually any mmo's you actually DO LIKE. Although if there were, you'd probably just complain about those too.
Well I thought about that, and to my utter horror he complained about Swtor even more and I thought that poor game has been drug through the mud enough. My thinking was, " Just go to his profile and look at all his GW2 bashing" and instead it was a Swtor bashing cookie with GW2 hate sprinkles.
In the meantime this is me.....

And yea the anvil was painful.
He isnt wrong Karteli, you are in every single gw2 thread. You spend more time in gw2 threads than you do sandbox.

I realize you adore GW2. That's fine. If you actually read my posts, you might see that I compliment GW2 on a bunch of stuff too. I don't hold you any differently than others, who love or hate GW2.
And there were about 500 negative posts for GW2 in existance .. I didn't comment on every single one of them, now did I?
I do complain about SWTOR even more than GW2... look at it this way, I complain about games I like, and SWTOR > GW2. But that's because SWTOR is more of a game than GW2 will ever be. Even with SWTOR's lifeless worlds, it still feels more alive than GW2. /snap
Feel good that I complain about GW2 more than I complain about WoW.

^^^^ This.
I could write a long speech about Anet from start until now,but this couple of lines is all that needs to be said.
It is really not about GW2,you get what you pay for,but imo ANET is a classless act.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I don't get it. Stirring up hype for your game is bad now? What does Scarfe's post have to do with anything negative on ANet's part? Maybe I'm not seeing what you see.
Yes... Feel the f2p rage... Feel it...
But seriously, I see why you dislike gw2 now. [mod edit]

You're damn right hype is bad. You should feel ashamed for showing excitement for anything. Everyone should be wearing their turtleneck sweaters, smoking in the corner, and scoffing at any project by any large company.
The more I'm around the forums on this site, the more bitter I become.

Why does GW2 get so much bash and hate? For the same reason that Justin Bieber gets so much bash and hate, even though for my 15 years old niece he's the best thing since bread came sliced.
If Justin Bieber was less popular, most people wouldn't bother to bash him. If he wasn't being sold as a superstar and actually was a proper singer, he wouldn't be hated.
My opinion is my own. I respect all other opinions and views equally, but keep in mind that my opinion will always be the best for me. That's why it's my opinion.
There are the "I want to be unique and go against the grain" type bashers. They will always hate any game that is popular.
There are the "I have to be loyal to my game , by bad-mouthing every other game, so my game doesn't shut down and all of it would have been for nothing!" type bashers.
There are the bandwagon bashers.
The list goes on. No rhyme or reason to it.
Or, they could simply not like it.
Because not everyone shares your opinion that its "a great game"?
For me it feels like GW2 is only about doing same repetative DE's and trying to reach silly goal "cover 100% map". Not type of activity I want from MMORPGs.
For the record I'm a hardcore gamer...I don't like casual games..even though I can only afford to play a few days out the weekday I still like to feel progress in my character...as of now I have no drive in playing. I just play to pass time..I have made no friends either...I have people on my friend list but they are all usually doing random things or hoping servers...so we talk but I never play with them since the first time we grouped...
I think the game could be more social able but since like 2010 most mmorpgs I played have been anti or very little social able..I think the people who are very social able among mmorpgs are proly playing wow or the mmorpg they fell in love with..the rest are either mmo jumping or just grinding like hell..in swtor I remember people begging to play together in this its the opposite
This doesn't flow well... in orange and purple.
Justin Bieber can't sing without an auto-tune, so no. Just NO. When he was younger, he had a good voice .. older, he never spent time learning how to sing as an adult, with his voice shift. His fault, not the customers / listeners. Listening to auto-tune is poison to music.
GW2 can't possible generate as much dislike as Justin Bieber. Even though GW2 is lacking in the social, longevity, and MMORPG categories, it can still be sort of fun to entertain ones-self, and fans can still say they are GW2 fans (which some proudly do).

I can tell you from my personal interaction with A.Net that they are not classless but really trying their best. I had some issues and they took care of them.
I think thou dost protest too much.
I wish I could.
You seem to get it XD.
Dunno about that, several dellusional people were far more hurt by the reality of GW2 (specially so called fans who ragequit over ascended gear introduction) than analagous people seem to be by SWTOR.
True fans, like myself, are more than happy with how GW2 feels and looks today.
Showing excitement shows someone is looking forward to a game without placing said game upon a pedestal and worshiping the very ground it covers. Someone showing excitement for a game can be objective and see if it has any flaws.
Hype is all out 100% praise for a game, no room for error. There are lots of links involved to quotes from devs and producers about what the game "is looking to do" but rarely any concrete facts. Terms are loosely used so the inferences can supply what the developers do not want to say outright. The game, and subsequently, the publishing company can do no wrong, in the eyes of the hype train riders. Remember the A-Net manifesto hype? What did it really say, specifically?
Many times, attacks are made, pre-release, on other players asking simple questions for clarification or detail about the upcoming game. "It's still in beta." is the usual answer for any concerns from a hype-train rider. Nevermind that the game has been in development for years and the beta is the final step before release, so major concerns will NOT be made prior to release. Beta concerns are all about spit and polish.
Hype leads to disappointment 99.9% of the time. Nothing ever made, nor ever to be made will live up to the hype. If I ever made a game, I would hope to all that is holy that nobody started a hype-train on it. Then again, I wouldn't make a game that soars at the top for 1-4 months and fades fast, which is what the hype-train is good for. Hype gets people to buy. Hype does not keep them playing.
No. Hype is bad. In every sense of the word, hype is bad.
Genuine excitement for an upcoming game is great! Just keep a level head and never get blinded. Don't hang on every word uttered by a developer, but rather read what they say and ask questions.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
Kinda had more fun on tor then on GW2, atleast with tor you got a ''diffirent'' story with all the classes (and then at the end as always an endless grind)
with GW2...its all the same, just because the game has dynamic events doesnt mean its any better then the other mmo's out there
Also with GW2 it feels more like an all-out-grinding game, kinda like how Star Wars Galaxies was with the whole collection system (then again SWG was a sandbox..but thats a story for another time XD)
Just anecdotally, I spent a few months engaged with SWTOR before I got bored. GW2 took less than a month .. I kept playing GW2 for another month feeling like I was missing something, but it never got better.
I still play SWTOR, though as a F2P (full of complaints). But I still play. I'm trying to muster the energy to log on to GW2 for the holiday events. No luck so far. I am failing to bond with GW2.
ArenaNet seems like a better company than EA (actually both are pretty bad) .. but I give kudos to ArenaNet for the fix of the gambling boxes at Thanksgiving. I assure you, EA would not have done that. But then came the next round for ArenaNet....

The problem is people are overreacting to what the developers say. Take all the archage hype - people have read so much into the game, we have no clue as to want it really will be.
If you read the ArcheAge forums, and all the fan posts with literally hundreds of videos, you would doubt even your own statement.
It just went into it's last beta, and you say people still don't know what it will be? /puzzle
Last I checked, a game in beta is pretty final .. minor tweaks here and there, but the foundation is set in stone.

YUP - because oft times, games that come from Korea to the America and EU are totally different than what it is in Korea. People keep keep saying it will be a great sandbox, etc - we have no clue.
