We have more players than GW2?

I don't have any numbers, but if you look at the GM and see how many Cartel items are for sale. This game is FAR from dying. Then look at the starter zones and there are 2 instances with over 100 each, I would say this game is doing QUITE well.
I would say from a pure income point of view, this has got to be one of the highest grossing MMO games out there (obviously WoW with its huge subscriber base is #1). I would dare say this game is #2 from a gross margin point of view.

This. GW2 is a fantastic game, but it's lack of raids (which is good, really) and it's crap PvP leaves it in a hole after you gear up. They tried introducing new dungeons, but I quit right before then, they were also adding a gear grind.

But for a B2P game, it's very nice and worth having on your computer. SWTOR simply has more 'traditional' endgame than GW2

Have you even read these sources?

'"Hackers have lists of email addresses and passwords stolen from other games and websites, and collected through spyware, and are systematically testing 'Guild Wars 2' looking for matching accounts," ArenaNet staff wrote on this wiki page tracking the issue.'

You know what this means? It means, you've created a GW2 account with the same credentials you used with another service. That's plain and simple actual fault. It's known for many years now, that no one should do this. They just have to crack one website, steal the data and try them on common services like Yahoo, Google, MSN, MMOs and so on. All the programms games and services you used were compromised, if they exhibited the same login data - not only your GW2 account.

Of course these people can change your password, if they also have access to your E-Mail account with said information.

That's hardly Anets fault or any other company's, ... it's yours.

I loaded up GW2 saw the horrible voice acting and super lame "Dynamic Quest" and uninstalled. I'll stick with TOR thank you.

But this game is now F2P and should be compared to other F2P games. And then there is lots of asian MMOs that is MUCH larger than WoW is and ever will be.
Take Perfect World and their 50 million players back in 2009. That is a number blizzard can only dream of.

True... You take out Tank/Heal classes and that alienates a good chunk of the player base... Keep in mind here, it's not the game companies, that invented Tanks/Heals, it was the players, and the MMO companies picked up on this and backed it up. It's natural for people to want to play different roles, and keeps the game fun.

I've done all 3 roles and continue to, it keeps the game fresh.

GW2 is a pretty game... But it's incredibly dull.

NO It should not be compared. For one, SWTOR has a Sub, and GW2 does not. And the gameplay is almost 100% different. Apple and Oranges. Comparing them just because they are both video games does nothing but continue useless conversations. but it is nice to see someone take notice to the whole market. So many just look at the US market and stop. The asian market makes the US market look like a grain of sand in the scheme of things.

Yep.

The game is fine player wise and has no issues at all... If EA/BioWare have enough sense to start supporting with some meaty content right now, they will be in good shape, and getting better to come.

no you didn't read it. The problem was that they could change YOUR password WITH OUT YOUR EMAIL.

I use a different password for every game as everyone should. If they get your email, just your address nothing else. They can use that and force their way in ie by using programs that generate passwords. GW2 had NO LOCK OUT. Meaning they just try and try again till they figured out the password.

Once they had the password they could change your password WITH OUT having access to your email. Arena nets SYSTEM DIDN"T SEND VERIFICATION EMAILS FOR CHANGE OF PASSWORD. Now your account is 100% locked out because ARENANET doesn't even have basic security protocals that even Hotmail has.

It has nothing to do with fansites or using the same password.


(all caps are not out of anger, they are just there so I make sure you see them before you post again with out actually reading)
