But seriously though, checkout that video. I think it's the highest hits for a GW2 video and I think it'll definitely change your mind.

Did for me.
Not to mention that Guild Wars 2 is... literally... nothing like the original Guild Wars. This is a very common misconception about Guild Wars 2 made by people who have not actually researched the game.

Between Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Mists of Pandaria, and Bioware being absolutely incompetent when they try to do literally anything with this game.... SWTOR is done.

Thanks for your input. I'm just wondering why you aren't over there on those games' nuts and are here instead?

Guild Wars 2 doesn't have forums yet, at least ones not accessible to the public until this weekend. Diablo 3, I don't really need to read the forums as it is also in Beta. I haven't played WoW in a couple years, and won't go back, but even in it's degenerated state it is still miles ahead of this game.

And also, I have time left on my subscription and pissing off fanboys is more fun than playing this sorry excuse of a game.

I assumed GW2 would be like the first. So I threw up in my mouth when I heard they were making a sequel.
Diablo 3 probably should've come out 10 years ago when it would still be popular. Now, who cares and who still plays hack n slash game anyway?
Tera was horrible too. The controls, wow. no thanks.

Nor will they ever. So if you are waiting for official forums, and that is an actual reason to stick around, you're going to be waiting a long time.

Guild Wars 2 is actually nothing like the first. The only similarities are the races, lore, name, etc. The gameplay is entirely different. I encourage you to check it out on Youtube, at least so you can make an educated decision for your own benefit.

Diablo 3 is a TON of fun. A lot of people still play Diablo 2, what do you mean who plays those kind of games anymore? Diablo 3 is going to have a huge player base. I've been in the beta for about 4 months now, and it's great.

Yeah I don't care about Tera either, not my cup of tea. I had high hopes for this game, but Bioware is just completely incompetent or EA is severely handicapping their ability to make this into a good game. Either way, a lot of people are going to be leaving in the coming months.

You hit the nail on the head.

I really don't understand why BW isn't jumping through hoops for us right now - every other gaming company is.

Incompetent in what way? These conversations piss me off because people are so damn spoiled with World of Warcraft. It's been out for 7-8 years now and is pretty well polished off this game has been out almost 4 months? THIS game is doing much better than any Blizzard made game when it was first year or couple of months for that matter. World of Warcraft was broken and unplayable until about the 6th or 7th month and PvP was literally non existent until the 8th or 9th month. SWTOR just needs time not to mention you guys have such damn high standards set for this game you need to realize Bioware has no MMO experience until this game. Give it a damn rest. Yes this is a huge problem, but it takes time to fix these things and the fact that you all want instant gratification and call Bioware incompetent just shows it. If this game had no market and completely sucks why would Blizzard be trying so hard to get people to return? It's not the whole community that is having this problem its only about 25% of the servers. And before you say anything I'm on Thendys Noori the second lowest populated PvP server on the East Coast peak hours we have about 10-15 people on in the fleet (not to mention I'm Republic).

Lately, I've been finding the forums more entertaining than the game too and it appears we are not alone in that...

Yet even at its most broken state WoW still had enough going for it to become the most successful MMO of all time. Bioware had 6 years and experienced developers who had decently bombed an MMO and they still managed to mess it up.
Relabeling future patches as Expansions, just like EA Louse said a year ago. Who got the last laugh?
