Seriously, before launch, Arenanet would talk down to all other mmo developers, proclaim systems that millions enjoy are suddenly outdated (next they’ll tell us shooting in a straight line is OLD), and that they are the future.
they were all over us with PR on facebook, reddit, twitter, websites, forums you name it. buttering us all up proclaiming their ‘we dont just swing a sword, we dont have grind’ etc like the rest. hopes were raised and then what…
just like amway, you go to a meeting, they dont tell you what you really are doing, they just sell you the ‘idea’. in the end, when you finally get the answer its like ‘oh, well you’re just buying groceries’ and thats basically what guild wars 2 is.
guild wars 1 WAS and still IS revolutionary, even to this day no other game has matched its uniqueness. what they did with gw2 was pull an amway, sucker us all in PR and claim its the future only to find out its bloody well not.
