Target a specific audience? They tried that by un-officially advertising the game as for hardcore players. Obviously that did not work.
But I agree with the OP in a sense. He is dead on with the overwhelming input. I got to the main city as the Exi…
WOD is a great expansion though I still like BC and WOLK better. Leveling is fun again and garrisons are a blast. However, crafting now sucks. Jewelscrafdting - as there are almost no slots jewelcrafting is useless except for a few armor items. Alc…
It is definitely NOT the best expansion (WOLK is still my favorite). However, I was expecting the worse and am having a blast instead! Got to give Blizzard credit - they did a good job with this (minus the queues and bugs).
Agree with the poster who stopped because of the pains caused by the combat. Yes, it is caused by the combat. I played heavily for the first few days WS was released until the pain in my wrists was so bad I had to stop playing any MMO. After a week …
A myth is a story based on some facts. Although I doubt that money exchanging hands for a good review is rare, the other forms of carrot and the stick I am sure is happening.
However, just because a reviewer is biased does not mean that he/she is b…
WOW and GW2 are the best for the solo, re: casual player. I like the comments that the reason why many solo players are casual is because they have real life obligations. So, so true.
I watched 2 children grow to adulthood (with the third on her wa…

I just hope that SOE is hopping off the action combat waggon. I think alot of gamers are sick of that already. It had its time bit for now we want a solid tab-targeting/tactical environment.
Agree. I am hoping that…
Possibly the best article that I have read on MMORPG. Hit the nail on the head every time.
Players are locusts in another sense. They concentrate. They zerg. It is the zerg that is going to give EQ:N the same problems as every other "our world is d…
Well, another one bites the dust. SWTOR was the closest MMO to vanilla WOW around and that is why I loved it. Now it is going the way of CATA. Goodbye SWTOR. I will be dropping my sub. Killing the skill trees destroys most of the fun of leveling up …
Rewarding loyalty. My favorite system, hands down, is the SWTOR Legacy system. I love how every toon within your faction can contribute to add Legacy points, how they can be used for buffs for all toons within your faction, the large variety of Lega…
Action combat. Too much for this old geezer. Housing was an absolute blast in beta but in production I never got that far. Cannot handle the action combat.
I am surprised that none of the posters (that I have read so far) made any comments about Blizzard's comments on making MMOs. From what I read it sounds that Blizzard is not interested in making any MMOs and furthermore, trying to get out of the ima…
I am assuming the article was meant to be tongue in cheek. For me it was kind of sad. For two years both my sons exhibited the raid behavior. Thankfully for our sanity and their futures they broke out of it and went pvp and then out of mmos.
"Takes the idea in the right direction...action RPG". No. It is not the right direction. Action combat does not belong in an RPG it belongs in a shooter. Posters on this site often decry that the newer mmo cater to solo players. I submit that action…
I 110% agree with the poster that said that, back then, it was people helping others, not enjoying the griefing. I too enjoyed TM. And, each time I attended it was part of a group to help others. RIFT started out that way. Even though you were put i…
The problem with the Story is that it is not MY Story but Bioware's Story. Yes you can influence the Story but only so far. You can only pick from a list of options. The first time I quit SWTOR is was because of this. Bioware kept saying it was my s…
No. I enjoyed GW2 a lot but the getting rid of the Trinity and having no gear progression at max level is not something that I would want passed on to newer games. PVP as a zergfest is not something to share as well. Worst of all is the action comba…
I am getting real tired of the reviews that state - "this is the same old thing." Hey we get it. It looks like 99% of the market. WE UNDERSTAND. Now, instead of whining about why it isn't the next new thing come up with what is unusual or interestin…
I personally like Wildstar but cannot play it any more. Litterally cannot. After playing for more than an hour my hands hurt so much that I cannot continue. Action combat is not for me. However, I do not castigate Carbine for using action combat. It…

I found the telegraphs mildly challenging as I progressed in the beta and I'm pretty damned uncoordinated. More than anything, I found it to be a pain in the ass to have to move al…
