Anyone can win this trophy.

 

yeah its because they limit it to a year. SWTOR was the only big thing released that year unless my memory fails me.

And there is not much compeition this year either. GW2 is the only high profiled MMO with huge hype was released this year.

I've been likening MMO awards to grammar school attendance records, or grading based on participation, specifically for this reason. Despite the information coming from gaming enthusiast press regarding awards, aside from Time magazine, TOR was still capable of tricking these morons into giving it more attention than it ever deserved. It's difficult for me to see the difference between the praise it was receiving and GW2.

Boosh.

Themepark hate club unite!  Tell everyone how they are wrong to enjoy this game!

Is this a troll post?

I mean

Is the purpose of this thread to share the information that GW was selected to be the best MMO of 2012?

Or

Is the purpose of this thread to start a forum battle as the last two sentences indicate?

Not really sure, but I incline to believe the latter.  Just another day at the forum I guess.

Evilastro hmm...

It was meant to portray "i told you so" to the people who often go on gw2 forums and bash the game. 

So you also see it as a troll post if I get it correctly.

Another one in the bag.

Once again we see all the trolls form other games with much less success come and throw dirt on anything possitive about GW2.

Well sites paid by advertising carry zero weight and i mean ZERO.

As to enjoying,that's fine,nobody is telling someone they can't enjoy a game,go ahead.That has NOTHING to do with a games quality.,that is each person's choice and everyone is most certainly allowed choice.

Why do people try and "confuse" choice with a games quality?To start arguments from nothing?

if you want to discuss the games quality go ahead,that is sort of the main purpose of a discussion site.However posting information from a biased site means nothing to a discussion.

A good valid source would be Carmichael or Cliffy b or Epic games top producers made comments becuase they KNOW their stuff,they understand everything about game design,Massively does not.

Well not everyone believes in making a Mc donalod MMO to beat WOW. That is the only way to be successful these days.

Here is what they said:

Game of the Year: Star Wars: The Old Republic

OMG this game just launched! How can we possibly rate this the game of the year! We must be paid off! Adhgdjhgdudbjh! The fact is, this was a hard one. RIFT launched as a staff favorite in March, but it's both the freshness of SWTOR's launch and the fact that MMO fans have been going nuts over this game for years that combine to make this our Game of the Year. Plus, ya know, it's kinda fun.

... They were wrong, so incredibly wrong. And rather biased to. They admittadly chose the game based on "years" of hype and NO NO experience at all playing it. Therefore, I will continue to reccomend swtor as greatest dissapointment. That was just bad journalism. 

In other threads / games, high review scores and awards are considered "paid for" and deemed  as reliable as a used car salesman.

But when it comes to GW2...IT'S A U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISION!  All hail GW2...the greatest, deepest, most fun MMO of our time! Hurray!

Glad to see you have found the light ...not much difference between forum warriors and used car salesmen in my book though

Themepark hate club unite!  Tell everyone how they are wrong to enjoy this game!

They can enjoy the game as much as they like but GW 2, and ThemeParks in general, are like McDonalds. Garbage and not a proper food (mmo).

I'm loving the angst these awards are causing.  Remember a week or so ago when you and yours panning the Time award and said that it didn't matter because it wasn't a real gaming site.  Now that a real gaming site has presented the award it all comes down to "nuh uh - neener neener".

It's a damn awesome game whether you like it or not.

I am sure it is an awesome game (for some) but it is a crappy MMORPG. And massively is wrong saying that it is.

 

Can you please tell us how a proper MMORPG should be in your opinion?

One based on virtual, persistant world. No instances, no quest hubs and level bracketted zones. A world which is like a real world, i.e. not constructed but rather evolved organically.

Yes that is a nice dream game but sadly as you know we are living in 2012 not 2050.

What you are basicly saying is you want a living breathing world without any form of scrips the world is "organic"?

I might give you a advice...don't check these forums for the next 40 years you will only be sad no games have that dream sparkle you are looking for at present time.

That's crazy talk, considering UO provided just about every feature this particular individual was looking for over fifteen years ago. I'm not saying that it's ignorance or stupidity to use the technology argument when you need a leg to stand on, but when developers are willing or capable of understanding that MMORPG's aren't required to use the same basis of foundation for mechanics and graphical standards, it simply doesn't apply.

Biggest Disappointment of 2012: City of Heroes' sunset (Runner-up: Guild Wars 2)

LOL another one who's angsty and making shit up.  She doesn't call GW2 a disappointment.  She gave NPCs their own awards both good and bad and is pissed about guesting.  Not only that they are a single blogger's opinion, not the site's award.  Are you trolling and flame baiting?

No, I am just pointing out that while the magazine awarded this, it also considered it the runner-up for biggest dissapointment. 

 

Grimal don't you love reactions to the failure of their ever flawless logic.

I just find it amusing that the same site awarded and considered it in strongly in such polar opposite categories.

But it wasn't the site as a whole that called it a disappointment.  It was one blogger on the site.  The site as a whole called it the MMO of the year.

If MMORPG.com called GW2 its pick for GOTY, but Pokket said that GW2 sucked in one of her articles, would you claim that MMORPG.com said GW2 sucked AND called it GOTY?  If you did, you'd be demonstrably wrong.  Just because Pokket writes an article giving her opinion (Pokket's only an example, not saying she did anything) and publishes it on this site, doesn't mean that article speaks for the site as a whole.

There is a difference between an individuals and a collection of individuals.

OT: Congrats to Anet for being recognized again for making what I consider to be the best video game I've ever played!
