Whats your point? Who publishes gw2? Ncsoft.
Which also made Aion, One of the greatest mmorpg failures in history of the western world.

I almost think he is serious. I think it's best to let this one go.
No NCsoft owns GW2. big difference.
Psst, you may want to update your sig.
ArenaNet operates autonomously from NCSoft. NCSoft recognizes talent and gives ArenaNet free reign. Which is much different from how EA handles things as is evident by what happened with SWTOR and may happen with TSW.
yeah i already knew the secret world was going to suck when i saw the words funcom
You got double owned and I didnt need to even respond. GG
And anything EA touches goes downhill in some way. Many know this.
This openworld crap, look a lot like how raiding was done in EQ and DAoC... Which was so much fun.
The fact that WoW moved all their content to instaces, does not make open world Mass PvE, any less attractive then it used to be.

I have the aion collectors edition. I love that game to death. It wanst until the western carebarization came and took away my fun. did i leave.
I dont understand what my relationship with aion has to do with company agreements of the titles in question.
So if both companies have suspect pasts, why did you even make the point in the first place?And just to clear a few things up, EA has not contractual right to change anything TSW, They are only publishers
As Arena is a sub company of NCsoft. Ncsoft has the contractual right to change what ever they seem fit. Ie cash shop mech and prices.

Why they keep making threads in GW2 section if it ain't to troll ?
For the same reason blind GW2 fanbois keep trolling and hating in other games forums. At least I give credit to the OP for creating a thread.
I can not say the same thing about this GW2 fanboi Zylaxx just copy/pasting his thread and replacing GW2 for TSW and posting it in TSW's forums.
Talk about a total lack of originality.
And to the OP, I never cancelled my preorder because I never preordered to begin with.
Having played for about 30 hours in the last beta event, I think GW2 is very dull and shallow on so many levels that it is not worth my money and time when it goes live.
To the GW2 community, have fun with your game and if you want to know a bit more about my criticism of GW2 feel free to check my post history. I do not post much, but the criticism is definitely there.

well arenanet are made up of ex blizzard employee's.which everyone knows that blizzard arent known for there quality in there mmorpgs,rehashing content for years comes to mind in this mmo called world of warcraft
exactly,ncsoft's mmos do better overseas then they do in america because there korean mmos.which arent piss easy and casual garbagefests like world of warcraft and other american mmos
Counteracting the OP's post. Its on topic for that, and to simply say that EA is awful.
Talk to me about retention in the west?

If one thing is okay with Blizzard, then its the quallity of the content, they are masters at it.
Sadly they currently fail in the departments of diversity and quantity

Just to add to your post, ArenaNet is ran by Blizzard employees who made Blizzard what it is today. It's a solid team, which is evident by GW1 and GW2.
Edit: from what I understand, they actually left Blizzard and started ArenaNet because they didn't like the direction WoW was heading to.

It is no different, yet it's warranted? ALl this sounds like to me is "as long as it's not my game", as that's what it is. What people here think of the OP is exactly what should be applied to those who felt the need to constantly remind everyone they didn't like SWTOR, TSW, AOC. It's all the same thing, people who feel the need to tell everyone why this or that game is bad, over and over and over again, the same thing is happening to TESO as well. It happens to any high profile game here. Everyone who does it feels it's warranted, because this or that game wasn't made to their specification.
TSW is also getting a bunch of flak for having "NO ENDGAME". Every new MMO does.

Thats not what your staement said, you talked about failure, Aion is far from a failure as a game. Some people never can admit when they are talking nonsense, which is a little bit sad, dont you agree?

Let me "TLDR" this for you:
"I completely missed the point of this game."

Did you not read that i specificily said west in my op?

Asian games generally don't do too good in the west anyway. Good thing that GW2 is not an asian game, right?
As of 3/22/12 you were all up on GW2's nuts. Defending no raids as a great thing. I guess you hadn't really done any reasearch into the game at the point and just blowing hot air to everyone.
Very well thought out post and I agree with everything you just said except the first sentence. Its a shame there arent more people around here who can just be honest and tell the truth about things. Kudos to you sir.
