Brilliant, interesting post OP. You've said everything and more of what i myself thought (although my expertise stems more from the technical / game development side of things). If you're still reading the thread i would like your outlook on another launch issue, namely the green zone/red zone, the "we will not sell to half the globe, import if you like" strategy that EA/Bioware seem to have employed for one reason or another. I personally thought of it as a slap in the face and a terrible way to launch a game that depends on attracting a large amount of players, but i might be wrong. Your thoughts?

Goldman? Whaaaa... hahahahahaha! This has to be a troll thread. I'll say one thing though, some of the complainers around here behave as if they were buying stock in BW. MMO "experts" = a dime a dozen around here.

In 3 months, there'll be bug fixes and a content patch ... that's even scarier, especially when you consider WoW's answer for all that is Panda monks).

This is what people don't understand is they aren't competing against WoW 7 years ago, they're competing against WoW NOW. You need to release a polished game on release, with most if not all of the features one has come to expect from WoW or else your game will crater. BW I still think can save it, this update about the state of PVP and the coming patch is really reassuring, and even if this game DOES totally fail I'm still going to play all 8 classes and their story lines all the way through. So I'm here for a while that's for sure. But they do need to get their **** together, because the honeymoon is over. You are right on the money with this one, I don't understand how 90% of the people posting here fail to comprehend this simple concept.
