I'm quite impressed with the launch and with their promptness in responding to genuine problems that affect (or will affect) the bulk of the population.

Fingers are still crossed for the MMO part of this MMORPG, but it's looking good, the RPG side is mostly spiffy, they just need to polish up the MMO side to get ready for the bulk of people ambling to 50.
I think you make an interesting point. its good multiplayer but is struggling with the massive multiplayer.

I give BW 7. There lack of support is something that will hurt them more ways than one.
What do you do if you need support in this game? You suffer and learn that this game has no support. People with money that buy stuff will forever remember this BW. I no a major store that took this game off the shelves. If you want it you have to ask for it.

I agree with you but, I am not going to panic over it just yet. The game needs a better LFG tool. Duel spec is ok but not really needed. I just hope they dont take the pandering too far because that really was what ruined WOW for me, that and other people.

You do not know a major store that took the game off it's shelves and even it that did happen it likely has nothing to do with the content of the game. If you want to PM me the store I will call them and if confirmed I will redact and eat this statement.

It is really silly when you guys complain about this kinda stuff.

The game has too much grind. Its ok for a spec to be a 'pvp spec'. But then when the devs throw a bone to the casual players like having 2 specs on the same character you guys throw up all over the place.

The casual players pay just as much as you guys so stop making it where people have to play 150 hours a month to get top tier character..

I cant complain about the casuals getting a bone but WOW gave up the whole darn cow.

Oh and on the store that supposedly took the game off the shelves. Prob in the bible belt and prob over the same sex relations they are talking of putting in. That is causing quite a stir, always amusing. and I meant retract, not redact, ironic mistake.

I remember I mentioned Dual Specs and I was beaten within an inch of my e-life by rabbid posters. Also recommended rated warzones and/or competitive warzones. Didn't get received very friendly. Cross server LFG and cross server warzones?! Mentioned that in beta and prerelease. Outcome? Was told I need to go back to my pandas

They don't take kindly to improvements 'round these parts.

I've never made it far enough to raid in any of these games, maybe there should be separate raid gear or something for the people who want to grind their face off 6 hours a night every night for the next 2 years.

This doesn't change that log 10 play hours after lvl 50 EVERY character should have the opportunity to be on an even playing field (97% effectiveness) in PVP. It's just really not fun getting monkey stomped cause someone else wastes more time than you. Cosmetic improvements or small, small buffs, sure. Straight up large advantage, no.

I'm not 50 yet in this game, so I can't really say what thats like. As far as upto lvl 30 grind, its been not too bad, so I definitely like that aspect of the game.

I wouldn't say they are pandering as trying to give people what they want so they stay and play the game. And some how manage to look past the deficiencies.
