Originally posted by Zalmon "Hardly any" is a little different than "none". People actually expected a lot more from the MMO's released in 2012 than they did in 2011, and look what happened... it's not GW2's fault that the other MMO's released this year were not as good. This year had two major expansions released, one for Rift and one for WoW, along with 2 or 3 other MMO's... GW2 made them forgettable messes (ie: Tera and TSW, not the expansions to quality games mentioned above) in comparison. SWTOR didn't have to do anything but show up. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by Rayshe You are the one who boggles me. Did you click the link: http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Guild-Wars-2/ <--- THE LINK. Those are all BLOG entries and the ninth one down I posted. It says nothing about disappointment. Did you consider the list on that page may not be the same list I'm seeing? It's a category feed. DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY POST THE LINK TO THE ARTICLE? My request is very simple, yet I don't see either one of you posting that article. A link to a long list of articles is silly. So you can rage against my reading comprehension all you want but until you can actually post a link to the blog post I think the fail is in your court. |

Originally posted by BlueLantern I find the hypocricy and double standards in your post really staggering. It goes both ways you know. Do you even see the irony in your posts for calling Jeff out as a bitter fanboy when you are yourself a fanboy of GW2 and come across very bitter towards TSW? Do you guys ever read your own posts before hitting enter? |

I did like parts of both TSW (the story) and TERA (the graphics and combat mechanics). I did at least try them and did find both positive and negative points (the same for GW2 for me). Unfortunately, with the previous 2 games, the negatives, for me, did outweigh the positives.

Originally posted by Foomerang This. I think it's good for any MMO to be seen in the limelight, even if you don't care for it. It gets developers to up the ante and I believe we all benefit from the exposure... except sandbox fans who apparently benefit from nothing in existence. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by botrytis Rift was actually heavily advertised in movie theaters during its vanilla release. Not sure which specific titles but I saw it several times on the big screen. And if Rift was truly doing well Trion wouldnt have laid off 1/3 of Rift's staff (and these werent SL contracters, these were long term people who werent expecting to be fired). Yes, some of that had to do with the delays and failures of EoN but if Rift was doing that well the layoffs wouldnt have been so severe. |

Originally posted by killion81 As well it should, Trion is proving themselves a very competent and hard-working company. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by Eir_S To point out something interesting GW2 was also awarded the biggest disappointment of 2012 on same page which gave it best game award. I don't know i find this a very screwed up and mixed result. As far as compeition goes.. GW2 had a huge advert campaign behind it and one manifesto video was enough to put it on the top of hype and anticipation. That is why i used the word 'high profiled'. No other MMO ahd such a backing or blew things out of proportion with statements like 'we want to beat WOW in sales'. So yeah GW2 had no compeition because the only release was one low key TSW with next to no advertising, an asian MMO Tera and one expansion for Rift. But if you want to call that compeition sure..but for me GW2 hardly had any. |

Originally posted by Zalmon I don't know why you find the Biggest Disappointment thing so confusing. It's obviously one crybaby who wanted to get his way.. but no one's going to remember his tiny little stab at a colossus. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by Eir_S The same can be said for anything Anti TSW or Tera, your defence is flawed and pure speculation. Because i can. |

GW2 deserves best MMO this year. It's only competition was with TSW which was going to be a niche game from day one, and an expansion for a game nearly a decade old. It's sort of like a collegiate athlete beating a fath Goth kid and a 50 year old dad at a game of basketball.

I do agree that GW2 Deserves GOTY it had a larger fanbase going into the game and thus had a larger population when the game started. It had the strength it needed. TSW Deserves Innovative title of the year, we are undoubtable more innovative than GW2 however GW2 did have the larger fanbase.
Because i can. |

Originally posted by Eir_S So we should only consider the opinions of those who praise GW2 and think it is best MMO of 2012? and everyone else is cry baby or bitter fanboy of TSW and should be ignored? i am sorry if i don't take your word for it. |
