Was Craptic omitted on purpose?

That wins my vote, based on how many lifetime subs were sold and not held to standards. Next would be Turbine, for the same thing.

So Trion is an AAA Dev but not Bioware?

Hey Devs, just so you know. The more you give us to play with, the more we play.

I'm going with perfect world. alot of the games they release or hold tend to get worse before they get better. now they own Star Trek online and Champions online.

After swtor I'd say bioware. Before swtor.. EA I guess?

Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:

A. Proven right (if something bad happens)

or

B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)

Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

Just because you don't consider it doesn't mean it shouldn't be up there. Cryptic has, and has summarily destroyed, quite a few perfectly good games now.   Having licenses to Star Trek and Neverwinter is not considered AAA?  Then why would you consider Bioware who only has a measly Star Wars license?

To me a AAA mmorpg developer who is a group that has weathered almost everything in the last few years, and have proven to deliver on some level a AAA product through content , graphics and ect.

 

To me  Bioware is not a AAA "mmorpg" studio.

I agree however they are viewed as such with the release of SWTOR.

Well your poll is F'd from the beginning then because you say developer then list NCSoft (as publisher).  Do you know what you're polling?

This is bullshizzle. I call it now.  You have TRION on that list.  Their first ever game.  By your standards, it shouldn't be on there.

 

Editted: For language.  Just in case.  The mighty amana might be watching and in a bad mood ;-)

Thereis an "Other" choice that can be used ...

just because you didnt like swtor that makes BW the worst aaa developer in the business?

LOL...

since this is only based on our opinions i voted Turbine as worst... but if i could say more than one then it would be Turbine, SOE, EA (including Mythic), Craptic, and the guys behind xsyon (because you dont charge for junk)

Also people need to realise that EA is a producer not a developer. they actually put very little input into the games they host. they are just in it for the cash, at this point every MMO cash grab has been successful that EA has thrown money behind. so really EA from a buisness stand point, Brilliant. From a Gamers stand point, Milking the cow for all its worth.

Because i can.
