GuildWars - CMOG or graphical Yahoo chat?

[myrathi]

This [blog post] fairly much sums up 'What is GuildWars?'.

Disturbingly true analysis, but not unsurprisingly so, after playing in the weekend tests during beta (ugh). Definitely glad I decided not to fork out greenies on it.

All GuildWars has done is prove that removing monthly payments does little more than open a game to bigger idiots

well, didn't they come from b.net tho?

So, they're kinda USED to that audience?

So, kinda, go with whatcha know?

Besides, they also know they're competing with WoW, which at the moment has pretty much done in the entirety of everyone I know in C attle. Tho some are done with it cuz they got to l60 twice and think there's nothing more to do.

Yeah, um, there is. GO OUTSIDE AND NOT PLAY FOR A WHILE. Sheesh.

[myrathi]

They did, yes. This was meant to be their "big thing".

You'd have thought so.

Seems to be. Fuckwits.

Eesh.

Indeed. Or, y'know, do what everyone probably did for them lower down the levels... HELP YOUR BLOODY GUILDMATES! Fuckin' annoying, selfish bastards. There are SO many quests that I have to do as a Mage/48 that I can't friggin' do without competent grouped help that outsiders usually aren't interested in because the XP is "okay" and not "frickin' great" that, basically, I'd look to guildies for help with. What are most of the 60's doing? Whining that there's nothing really to do or PvPing 100% of the time they're online (while whining). Selfish fuckers.

Is it just me, or are the only pics of him that anyone is showing (after following the links), are the ones where he's holding his son aloft..?

DAMMIT, WE RE-ELECTED MICHAEL JACKSON!!!

I really am just too obtuse for my own good sometimes...
