Yet they have already proven themselves with Guild Wars - which has absolutely first class pvp, the only way they could fail is by making a completely different game - which from the current videos/info we have, is entirely unlikely.

Call me crazy but SWTOR was hyped up way more than GW2. Surely, by the time GW2 is about to release it'll be advertised more but I doubt it will be a massive marketing campaign such as SWTOR.

Bioware hyped this game as having sex for breakfast. Instead, it's just World of Warcraft in a Star Wars coat.

The game could have been more if the development team for PvP had actually listened to the PvP community when many of us warned against the implementation of Warzones/Battlegrounds/Arenas which award PvP gear.

They didn't.

Now we have a PvP gear grindfest to valor 60 and no fun reason to stay.

Edit: I will also be cancelling my subscription when GW2 comes out. Even if the game isn't perfect, the PvP will still be 50x closer to what I enjoy when it comes to PvP. Warzones/Battlegrounds/Arenas can all burn for all I care. They do NOT promote a healthy PvP community or a fun PvP experience.

Proved they could let a certain build solo farm almost everything for how long before it was nerfed?


If the A/E stuff happened in TOR with one class people would flip out. Anet proved one thing- they can run a free to play game because the standards are extremely low.

There's a reason they're making another f2p- they know they can't make a game good enough for people to pay a sub, and they know they'll never get any real criticism as long as they don't require subs.



If they tried to pull GW with a sub- it'd be torn up and forgotten.

Not really- there was very little hype and advertisement- in fact, the lack of advertising and hype the TOR devs put out was a subject of constant critism.

The FANS on the other hand overhyped this game to colossal levels- every word a dev spoke would be turned into a novel that either foretold the end of the world in fire and brimstone, or the second coming with bacon fountains and mountain dew rain.

Torn up kind of like SWTOR? This game is also not worth a sub! What does this game offer that is deserving of a sub?

At least GW and GW2 offer PvP, here we get WZs, a gear grind, and ground breaking pvp a.k.a Ilum. Gimme a break, wake the **** up!
