@your_mom1 While they are at it they should also ban from purchasing violent games anyone who ever had assault charges or similar. Also anyone who has ever attempted tax fraud, tax evasion, insider trading etc should be banned from MMOs that have an Auction House.
@BiiteMe Seems experiences differ greatly. GW2 for me: nearly no bugs. Morrowind for me: just a couple of bugs. Morrowind for a friend of mine: tons of bugs (missing NPCs etc). Fallout 3 for me: holes in the geometry, messed up npc pathing which all resulted in me having to constantly use console commands to respawn npcs that fell outside the gameworld or simply dropped to their death on their way from the bar to their home or that started falling sideways, recieving falling damage when they eventualy hit a tree. Or the best: quest npc spawning in the wrong area of the map and thus appearing in the middle of a minefield instead of outside the town he should.
I have not yet run into your unbalanced leveling issue. As a lvl 43 I am only just entering a lvl 25-30 zone but am trying to keep away from other zones so as to avoid the fatigue you describe. I totaly agree that seeing too much on the first character can make alts boring.
But I still am not sure what the "plethora" of issues you refer to is. If you wish to warn people, it may be best to actually tell them what you are warning about. for example: the WvWvW sounds great on paper but in reality you will have long queues if you are on a populated server and a lot of combat seems to resolve around groups of zergs attacking each other with ranged attacks. Then people can form an opinion. But just saying "this game has many issues" helps noone.
@DaEliteCommando @bfine20 GW2 is friendlier for the small casual guilds (such as the one I am in) who are happy enough doing a 5 man run of something. Explorable dungeons should be good for that.
Though I wouldn't mind if the larger bosses such as the Shadow Behemoth in Queensdale were a bit more predictable in spawning, so that as a large group you could enjoy those more
@BiiteMe I haven't really encountered any bugs yet, or at least none that I realized where there.
But if bugs were the reason for games to fail, Bethesda would never have recovered from Morrowind... or Oblivion ... or any of the later titles. Instead those games get judged by what they do right: a vast explorable world and an openess to the modding community.
Just saying as we are talking about truths that are truth ;)
@Kayweg That's the problem with reviews, isn't it? To be relevant they have to be brought out as soon as possible, but for the reviewer to have a real chance at detaching themselves they should be allowed to review at a later point. Some other reviews I have seen have tried to actively focus on the negative bits to overcome this; in the end though those reviews came across as unfair, as they showed a reviewing bias even though the reviewers did not actually share the bias (if that makes sense :) )
@Laguniroth "wondering" is not "accusing" . Accusing would have been saying 'All reviews that have a score 9.5+ are bought for". Did I write that? No. Trying to lecture stranges on their behaviour is nothing to be proud of either, especially when one addresses a behaviour that wasn't there... oh shucks I just lectured you :P
@jourideblaere @Poodger A lot of people see Tengu as a race down the road. They make sense as they are a race with a city. Tengu and Kodan. Though with Kodan I forsee a lot of people crying Pandarian rip-off :)
