It's much like movies. Before I watch a movie, I go to rottentomatoes.com to see what critics / audience says. Really no matter what, I'll watch it, but I'll know to expect it to be decent, awesome, or sort of crappy. People may try this game no matter what, but once they play.. they'll know for themselves.

In other words, we don't need to be here on the forums giving our opinions. The game speaks for itself. The game does all the talking (no pun intended!) it needs to.

So for MMO's you read forums? Because if you read critics reviews for this game...well thats all I have to say I think the lowest for this game I have seen from any critic site was a 8 or 7.5
Aww, so does this mean that the deal that we just made behind their backs that doesnt really exist but it does but to them it doesn't, doesn't actually exist now?

Well we have learned from this that critics can be paid off..

There's a reason I played Horde.

For the record, if we're going to go back to my movie analogy.. I take the audience review much, much more seriously than I take the critics one. And.. the "buzz" on the internet, and certainly, these forums is that the game is bad. I still tried it out. But yes, generally when the consensus of something gets around, word of mouth travels, there is truth to it. There is validity to a movie getting 25% rotten rating.

There is validity to these forums. If you've taken a college level statistics class, you'd know that these forums would be a good sample size of the populous of the game. It doesn't bode well for Star Trek er Wars or whatever this game is.. I'm afraid.

Lol it's clear desperation. "I hate this game irrationally, therefore everyone who rated it well must have been bribed."

There were also many poor critic reviews, too.. and I personally never claimed that even the good ones that did write-ups were paid off. I in fact don't believe that at all. I believe they played the first 20 levels, and thought it was awesome. Sort of like how I did. Then.. well, you know how this plays out lol..

Can I just make one point.. there's no desperation, and the community doesn't dislike this game just to dislike it. We dislike it because we wanted it to be awesome. We wanted it to be a WoW killer. We wanted it to be the next big thing.

But instead we have, well, go log in...

Lol?

That is possibly the most... untrue... thing I've heard. I took stats in college and one of the things we learned was that you don't rely on a self-selected sample, which these forums are. I mean, what you said is so completely false that no picture of Picard can adequately express how I feel right now.

Also, if forums were indicative of anything of anything WoW would have gone out of business 7 years ago.

In closing... What were you thinking? Are you even making an effort?
