    So, yeah, I'm pretty sure the OP should have kept his post count at 4.

    This is one of the most idiotic threads and opinions I have seen posted. OP, it is people like you who give people the impression that all young people are selfish and arrogant. I'm going to college, but do I care about the release date? Not one bit. You want the game postponed just for you and a select few who whine about going to college or back to school? How about trying to work a full time job, with the game releasing and letting people onto the servers right when your shift starts, unable to take the day off? Whine, whine, whine... Quit complaininng, and grow the hell up.

Did they not consider that a majority of their buyers would be extremely stressed out with starting school again? Such a bad business move, they should have considered the happiness of the majority. 

    Actually, they are thinking of the majority.. you are just not part of that group.

    For me, the timing is perfect. I go out of town for work for a month the week after the last BWE. I'll get back just in time for the release of the game itself. Brilliant. Wait, I forgot, do schools not have weekends anymore, or did I miss something?

    I'm not here to complete my forum PVP dailies.

    No game has ever launched based off what the OP claims.

    This thread makes me laugh.

    "Why don't they think of us students?"

    The obvious reason is your butt should be studying.

    "Why don't they consider us people who have to work?"

    Because then the game would only be online from.. never to never.

    It's a persistent world.  Why does it matter?  They release it on a Tuesday, you going to cry because it's in the middle of the week and your mom can't take you to go get it?

    Ludicrous I say.

    What is UP with this world and people  thinking that they are the ONE SPECIAL person in the world and it should revolve ENTIRELY around them and their schedule?

     

    I'm off the two weeks before, planned on taking launch off for this game, and now I can't.  Arenanet should have consulted me and my schedule.  Clearly!

    qft

    this game should obviously be delayed until all of the troops are home and can play it just the same as everyone else.

    troops > entitled college students imo

    LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity.
    I am, usually on the sandbox .. more "hardcore" side of things, but I also do just want to have fun. So lighten up already :)

    Until you can prove that I am not the only person that really exists, and that all of you are not just figments of my imagination, then games should be a LOT more accommodating.

    Didn't you know , college life is brutal , it's "hard" being a student with all those 2-3 hour blocks of classes, come on man , feel the sympathy for him? ;)

     

    Seriously though , I remember working my way through college , and seeing the whiny full time students thinking going to school full time without a job was just "rough" , was just as amusing then as it is to see some here try and imply going to school full time without having to work full time to put yourself through it is "rough".

    There's your problem.

    BINGO!

    actually, i think the main problem is that he thought any of us would care.

    I think it's the perfect time. I'd rather not have it get released in the summer cause it'll turn me into an uncontrolled, addicted, introverted, fat blob that'll be completely unproductive. Plus, the beginning of the school year is perfect because work load ain't going to be that bad. So calm down.

    Exactly,  dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum.  I can barely prove my existence, to prove my existence to you would just be ... problematic :-)

    Dear god man what are you thinking ?

     

    it could be UP TO 18 HOURS OF CLASSES _ HOLY SHIT HOW DOES ANY HUMAN DO THAT ? Never mind you might actually have some ADDITIONAL HOMEWORK  - HOLY MOTHER OF GOD , we need to feel for these full time students who are on this insanity schedule where they have time for nothing else because of the maybe 30 hours a week they spend in school and studying -

    I'm not sure how I ever did it to tell you the truth , all those classes sitting there in air conditioned rooms listening to someone , brutal I tell you , brutal.

     

    ;)

This whole summer, there has not been one good game....

    Boo freaking hoo, I guess...

    The game isn't going anywhere so chillax. This is actually a very flexible MMO due to sidekicking and scaling, so no worries catching up with your pals or whomever.

    Oh, so you think the bulk of the gamining community is in college...  How quaint.

  • Darkness690Darkness690 Member Posts: 174

    Oh no, why do you have to release the game when I have work. Why don't you consider people who have jobs, you are evil ANET!

    This is why they will base thier release scedule solely for students.. unless most students these days are 34+ years old......
