Nope, WOW is definitely the worse game and probably won't become better with time because it's too mired in mass player appeal at this point to take some risks like GW2.

You're joking, right? "Take some risks"? What risks did GW2 take? Adding dreadfully boring and repetitive Heart quests? Having player models with tiny waists and giant tits to give their target audience a boner? There's literally nothing they added to the genre that's not already out there except perhaps some convenience features.

Let's hear what risks Guild Wars 2 took. I can't wait to hear what you fanboys come up with.

You took the risk of leveling up to 5 before making sweeping statements about the game so we'll listen to your words of wisdom mr internet study. We didn't hear you the first 20 times.

OK, so you're going to make a statement that you can't back up and then pretend like you're taking the high road by claiming that's what I'm doing? Respectable.

And I said I played it for 3 days, not 3 hours. I know this is hard for you to believe but the game is not so incredibly deep that it's impossible to understand it after 3 days.

EDIT: I'm honestly interested in how GW2 is "taking risks." Please enlighten me on your clear statement rather than trying to change the subject to your perception of my character.

Yeah this is a high school debate, I'm going to humor your silly whining, listen deeply and nod my head while you thread shit because you need attention.

or I'm going to gloss over your bullshit and keep having fun. Yeah I think we'll go with door number 2.

You honestly believe people did psychological studies on the fleeting nature of MMORPG fanboyism? I was making a joke. Sorry.

Hey, it's Blue's News. And the kool aide gets passed around from time to time. (Wacky shit gets said in earnest sometimes. )

One risk and a huge one... spending five plus years developing a huge MMO to compete with WoW that has no subscription fees. Most other free to play MMOs look like shit compared to GW2.

Are you still there or did you log back into WoW? Oh, screw it I'm logging back into GW2. I need to get one of my characters up high enough to make enough gold and start unlocking those extras.

link those studies for me, I am interested in reading them.

1. Go to Wikipedia
2. Look at "list of MMORPGs"

Also, it's a fact proven by countless psychological studies. People with weak willpower always think a new MMORPG is the best thing ever for the first month or two post release before quietly putting it away and forgetting about it.
