LoL Mr. 'I Won't Play to Beta Test a Game'! What a big man! Tell em like it is!

or... w/e

There is no perfect software starting with your operating system ( 'I won't pay Bill Gates to beta test his software' - rofl).

If you're so high and mighty above it all why are you playing PC games at all? The issues go with the territory. Oh wait, they're trickling into consoles too because they're really just mini computers.
There is no need to get huffy over someone else's opinion. Honestly, if anyone doesn't like the quality of a product -- ANY product, including Windows -- they should put their money where their mouth is. Which is exactly what some people are doing.

The fact that the "issues go witht he territory" is the consumer talking -- at what level of quality can people push out a product such that the consumers will buy it -- and continue to buy it. For some people the bar is different, and that's your right as a consumer. Some people value potential over intial content, and some are the other way around. Some would consider a game with perfect flawless graphics and combat system of beta-quality if the questing, trading, or crafting system is flawed. That's their opinion and they have a right to it. Clearly funcom considers it release quality, and since it's their product they can release it in whatever state they feel is acceptable. The consumers who don't find it acceptable can choose not to play. That's all that's happening.

Nobody here is trying to be the "high and mighty" person here, but the thread is asking for opinions and so people are giving them -- and peoples opinions are bound to differ. I didn't find anything wrong with merujo's post or his "tone". Let's play nice people -- the thread is about your opinion of the game, and people shouldn't be afraid to give their honest opinion.

Suvega honestly enjoys playing AoC so much that he only hops on WoW to raid. I, on the other hand, quickly got bored and while I loved the combat system and the way they made their healer hybrids -- I couldn't stand being blocked from the destiny quest storyline or having to tiptoe around the "if you respec you lose all gathering professions" sort of bugs. Two different people, two different opinions -- we can still play nice and live in the same house. So let's not start throwing insults at each other over an OPINION on a game.
