This is exactly why I won't but the game (yet). I don't trust people on forums and I don't trust reviewers.. and I sure don't trust the hype made by the publisher.

But give me a proper open beta or a free trial and I might play your mmo for a long time (if it's good).

The "open" beta isn't really open... I think they only care about the publicity Fileplanet will do for them because there are many people who won't get into beta but have now heard of the game (which they wouldn't without Fileplanet).
 That seems to be the main reason for the "open" beta... not actually showing their game.

So more or less, because you can't enjoy a game with out a bunch of  additional programs running, then you don't think Xbox users should play? That makes no sense.

 

 If you want to use a computer, use a computer, but that still doesn't explain why xobox users can't play with you, only why you won't use an Xbox.

Sure.. you can enjoy a game like WoW without the addons.. but you can't raid with our ... or any other serious raiding guild.

And if Warhammer won't support addons then it will have trouble getting the hardcore players who are used to addons by now.

I don't know how this will be in possible Warhammer... but in WoW I have about 20 addons which I use. My UI is totaly changed, I can scan the auction house to have all prices in my item tooltips, in raid everyone can see how much aggro he has, I can compare my dps to others and see every statistic possible. I get alerts and timers while fighting bosses (the game difficulty is based on people using addons), etc etc...

I update them with 2 different programs or manually by downloading and unziping files into the game folder.

Our guild is also using Ventrilo to chat, while others use Teamspeak and some use ingame voicechat.

Ofc.. I'm also chating on irc or checking wowhead while alt-tabbed.

When I can do all that on a console.. then it might be ready for mmos.

There is instant travel.

portals, warlock summons, heartstones, engeneer teleporters, etc...
Is that not enough?

Maybe something like mage portals closer to instances or warlock mass summons (where you could summon 10 or 20 people at once... maybe with 3 warlocks + 3 helpers and every lock would use 2 shards) would be cool, but it's really no problem to travel as it is.

I have a human warlock with herb/alc, but if I'd roll a warlock again I'd go for gnome with engeneering.

Warlocks are kinda hard to start with.. but later they become realy powerfull. Like LilT said.. warlock can do über dps, good crowd control and even tank.
I think warlocks are also harder to play because of some very different skills... so you need to be a good player to be a good warlocks.
