2.1 Harsh I know, but truthfully its what I feel. Really taking a look and being honest with myself it made me change things up.

 

To be fair, I am harsh on games so my 2.1 would probably be more like a 4.2 for more normal people reviewing a game though so in that way, its not as bad, but stil weak in performance. More playable then some iffy F2P games but not something I'd brag to friends about. 

curious though as you said you got a refund so the game now owes you nothing as all the money spent as been returned.. you have nothing to discuss about game mechanics and how to make them better because you think the game is garbage but basically are here just to rag on a game that gave you a full refund.. 

Wait a minute.

Several posts back before the one I'm quoting here, you were defending someone for giving the game a 10 because, for their own reasons, that's what it deserved to them.

Now, someone gives it a low score for reasons they feel it's deserved while they played it, and yet here you are challenging them on it and attempting to dismiss their opinion.

So, it's okay for people to give a perfect score as long as "it deserves it for them", but the same doesn't hold true for lower scores?

I believe that's called a double standard.

Careful, Aerowyn. Your bias is showing.

There's a big difference between a well thought out & explained review, and the usual 'game X sucks, I hate it, and thusly it deserves a 6, or game Y is awesome, I love it, and therefor it deserves a 10'.

Both are pretty useless.

While I wouldn't give GW2 a 10 or a 6, I would accept it if someone else gave it a 10 and backed it up w/ real reasons, or gave it a 6, and backed it up w/ real reasons. Too many of the explanations I see people give on these forums especially, do not sync up, at all, to their gaming preferences.

For example, I've seen people on here rate GW2 a 6 or a 7, yet give SWTOR an 8 or a 9. When giving reasons, the same reasons often applied to both games. This isn't to say that some people may not have legitimate reasons to downgrade a game, but ones like 'i got bored' just don't work.

Free give away big content update after Halloween event. 

http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/09/13/arenanet-responsible-mmo-companies-give-away-content/  

how many treasure chest keys to open the grab bags did you buy from the cash shop before getting this "free" content update?

Besides, until they haven´t delivered a "free big content update" it is still vaporware.

Woah, now they are even pretending they are the only MMO with free content updates.. amazing really

Dude, the keys drop ingame and you can buy the Halloween costume at the Auction House.

Why the fk do you want to buy keys on the CS?

Well on the update issue, I going to trust Anet as their integrity haven't been broken yet, in my book.

I wouldn't trust you tho.

All you do is based everything on assumptions and personal opinion.

GW2 deserve 10/10.

Take it easy dude, GW2 is the 2nd coming.

 

 

 

I see what you did  there.

I disagree with you. Maybe they liked SWTOR more. Don't ask me how someone could, but maybe they did. Maybe they had some of the same issues, but they were worse in GW2 than in SWTOR (like the storyline...maybe they don't like stories in their MMO but thought the SWTOR one was better). Also, if a game is boring, it failed to do what it is supposed to do for that person which is entertain them. I would think that this is a very good reason to downgrade the rating.

So I have been wondering if those numbers under "user rating" really represent the current status, especially the "Service" rating of 8,5 out of 700 ratings and the value rating of 9.4 considering the heavy cash shop centric itemization keeps me scratching my head, service team takes weeks to answer inquiries, unpleasant but truthful concerns on the GW2 get deleted and users infracted left and right.

Question do you stand by your ratings now after playing for some time or will you edit / have you edited your rating?

Do you even play GW2? Heavy Cash Shop Centric itemization? What in blazes are you going on about?

I haven't had to rely on the service team yet, so good or bad it doesn't really matter to me. At first they were no doubt swamped. As players wisen up problems should sink to managable levels.

He doesn't play GW2. He tried the BWE though and that has given him pretty deep insight into the game.

I think he reads stuff here and there too, though that is just a assumption.

 Then I guess he's not replying because he got a temp ban for trolling or something. He's obviously clueless about the game, yet can't stop spewing nonsense about it on these forums. Oh well...

I hope my well thought out response has contributed to this thread.
