That's exactly the problem. The game is an above average themepark MMORPG, but people (including ANET) keep painting it like it's the Obama of the MMO genre when in reality it's just a different take on the same old, I mean, at least Obama was black.

I am more curious as to why people who like GW2 care so much what those who dislike it think.

You didn't make the game, all you did was buy it, play it, and like it so why say things like "you mad bros"?  Makes no sense whatsoever.

"I like playin GW2 'cause ppl who dont like it are mad" lol?

If there was more realism, and less "Quest Hubs are Dead" articles, there would be a more real responce.

Oh look Mummy another one of these threads ...

This will end well I'm sure :p

Truth be told it's not all just mindless bashing or biased crusaders nitpicking. There are those that recognize GW2's qualities but simply didn't like them for whatever reason.

Totally offtopic but I am one of those that did like SWTOR... just not as a "MMO"RPG and in no way viable as a long term game (expecting monthly fee revenue out of that was simply absurd). We'll still see how GW2 fares in this regard but at least it doesn't set itself up for a possible financial disaster by expecting subscriptions.

beauty lies in the eye of the beholder my friend.

What is a beautifull flower to you,  is a pile of steamig to another.

As simple as that.

no one is being lied to. the game delivered exactly what was promised. if not more. and it is the Obama of MMo's, to be perfectly honest. u cant deny that.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

Anet have said they wanted to get rid of all the crap that makes the other games boring and tiring and put a new spin on it that makes it fun to play, thats it. Noone was lied to.

That's exactly the problem. The game is a very good themepark MMORPG, but people (including ANET) keep painting it like it's the Obama of the MMO genre when in reality it's just a different take on the same old, I mean, at least Obama was black.

How can it be being lied to if folks are just posting their opinions? An opinion can't really be a lie, you can only lie that it's your opinion...

well there is no doubt the game is good but when you compare it to obama its almost laughable..lets hope Anet never get the job of security in the whitehouse eh!

Complete exaggeration.  The usual skeptics are perfectly in-line with every other game's release.  Infact, there are a lot less skeptics then games like SWTOR and Rift.

If anything, mmorpg.com houses more fanboys for GW2 then anything else.

Because happiness will not be tolerated by some people.  Positive and upbeat doesn't seem as intelligent and mysterious as brooding and cynical.  If you are part of the former just tolerlate the latter and be thankful 

I have come to realize that most of the posts here are about QQing about this or that. It seems that the community here is usually full of trolls who have nothing better to do than bash Game A and Game B. You will find more negative threads on this site than positive ones.

In the end I don't care about anyones opinion on any game. I make up my own mind. If everyone is bashing a game so what. I will figure out for myself if I like it. I however will not go on a tirade about why the game is bad and incite a flame fest. I just think most people do not have the patience for any MMO anymore so after a week they have nothing good to say because they are already burnt out. In reality they are just sick of the genre and probably need to quit playing MMO's altogether.

I have learned to play MMO's for what they are worth now. No point in setting high expectations. I just enjoy playing with my friends end of story. That to me is an MMO. I bet most of these people who are upset about the game's success probably solo'd and then cried about how bad the game was. Get some friends, it makes even the crappiest of MMO'sd fun. I got suckered into playing WoW for a brief time and I never wanted to play that game and I hated it. I just played it because all my friends went there. No matter what the game is people will hate, that just comes with the E-territory.

wow  readfing all of this ...i exicuted like 15 facepalms.

you need more reality all of you
