Fair warning – this is a relatively intoxicated post.
I honestly cannot comprehend the amount of bi&%&ing and moaning on these forums.
Yes, the game isn’t perfect. But it is miles ahead of any other pvp MMO experience out there.
The game that shall not be named requires countless hours of level grinding, battleground (honour points) grinding, arena (conquest points) grinding, raiding grinding and profession grinding to be remotely competitive. If you miss any of the above you are not on an even playing field.
SWTOR as well as Rift (the only other two real alternatives) are even worse in that aspect, not to mention horrible optimisation and balance for the prior and the pvp gear treadmill required for the latter.
The game isn’t perfect, but it’s far and away better than the alternatives. So how about we as a community simmer down with the complaints and give the game some time to develop, grow and fulfil all the heavy expectations that we have placed upon it.
That doesn’t mean you as a consumer don’t have a right to complain. Yes, there are bugs. Yes, things could be better. But things could be a whole lot worse.
Try and be objective, introspective and realise that for a one time cost – this game is pretty awesome.
