what do y’all think?

I’ll c/p what I said in the other thread about it;

It shows how out of touch Joystiq are with parts of this review. The unlimited tools are very popular – you can see that by how many use them in open world. The Llama finisher is exatcly the sort of thing you would want in a gem store. In fact they fall under the same category as the sparkly armour skins they themselves suggest (just sparkly animations instead).
New classes and weapon types in a gem shop? That would a disaster! They even allude to that themselves in an earlier paragraph about pay walls! I doubt many would want to pay for new classes/weapons when they should be free with new content.
Skins is the one thing I agree with them on (except the ugliness _ I like most of them). GW has the worst lock box system I have ever seen in an MMO. A very bizarre ticketing system of skins when you could stick them in the gem shop and leave them there.

The henchies/heroes comment was not required. It was never meant or designed to ahve them. I agree about the NPC’s tho

Some of the other comments are fair (dungeons vs large group content for eg) some aren’t. A very strange review all round I felt
