WOW did not release with any battlegrounds. They were added 6mos to a year later. He is comparing it to a newly released game the has potentially genre changing updates. I feel it is a fair comparasion. WOW had some serious issues at release that I’m sure many people would claim are “game breaking”. The auction house was mess for the first 6 mos. And the loot lag was horrible for the same amount of time. The pvp in SS crashed the server daily and that is why the battlegrounds were added.
