I am my guilds mt and we have no trouble clearing content without combat logs.

In game events are fluff, and with all the bugs people keep mentioning, I'm surprised this is on anyone's list at the moment.
I am eating your canon, and pooping your immersion.

Are you being serious with that statement? I'm just not sure if you're serious or not...

There were quite a few to choose from when WoW launched...

More then 7, but I digress...

I agree that I expected more feature wise. Specifically an LFG Tool and guild functionality.

So saying this game has a lot of game breaking bugs please show me with screen shots because i have not seen not one. In a year every player playing this game will be laughing at your old out dated game of wow like we already do now.
You do realize that wow was launch in 2004, in 2012 your desktop alone can out perform there several server clusters, swtor launch with less features (not comparing content) than wow of 2004 on latest hardware and behind seen tech.

A lot more game breaking than one person getting hit with a lag disconnect.
jeez, did you even play WOW? You pretty much summed up 2/3's of the first couple months of any new instance release. I could probably go back and fire it up and reproduce half the bugs of any one of those instances if I wanted to reactivate my account. Nobody cares or notices much because who really runs UBRS with a 15 man group squabbling over Dal'Rend swords any more only to realize the gate didn't lift and you need to reclear the trash mobs after you reset the instance?

You are looking at something with rose colored glasses. Take them off. Not saying you aren't experiencing bugs, but I am saying you're making untrue comparisons.

here is example, no in game voice... need to buy outside server space for voice during raid.
if my GM wants me to invite raid event then there is nothing in game available that we can utilize to organize groups, we end up using external web site to manage that.

So yo're complaining that we need to use Vent or some other 3rd party chatroom software? And that's game breaking how?

What MMO has an in game voice function that decent guilds use? l2 skype, it's free.

True, there is no guild calendar yet, but if your guild is serious, it has a website with a forum anyways. Once again, yes this game does not have every feature of other MMOs, but I still have much more fun playing it over the others.

...and that's fine, but that doesn't make your opinion more valuable then others.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

I could even mention some single player games...mostly Bethesda or Obsidian games that have *this many bugs*.

Its really don't think it's as bad as people are making it out to be. Compared to a lot of the games on this list its pretty damn good honestly.
none of them had 300 mill budget
