That's a joke...right?
Oh, btw...not directing this at anyone in particular, but I sure do wish you retards would quit quoting entire walls of text.
No it isn't a joke. A fanboi is somebody who uses unreasonable points to defend his or her game of choice. I have done none of that, and i suggest you don't bother to reply unless you point out what part you think is unreasonable and I will be glad to correct you.
it seems that some people are under the impression when you don't jump on a games hate bandwagon it makes you a fanboi.
I agree OP, it is .... LESS of the same. Where is my flying mount? Where is my mount? Where is my underwater world? Where is my seamless open world with NO invisible walls? Where are my extremely polished scripted RAid bosses with reactive phases. "Get out of that fire" and "please heal me in that pot " Where is my ladder based PvP competition? My beautfiul and extremely crafted/polished Battlegrounds? Where is my changing world in phasing? The destructable buildings and mounted tank combat? My dual specs? Where is ... the game? I guess it hides deep in the pockets of some Korean bank account.
I dunno if you were being sarcastic, but everything you just mentioned is what broke the game to me. Flying mount removed the thrill of open RvR. WoW always had invisible walls, guess you never bumped into them. Scripted raid bosses? Those are FREAKING EASY, scripted fight are easy mode of raiding. Ladder based pvp is broken because of powerful team combinaision, no real choice. Vehicle combat is horrible, worst thing they implemented so far (other than flying mounts). World phasing seperates player while in the same zone, I disliked it since some people would use that to flee from me.
Duel spec is the only thing I'll agree upon.
Blizzard catered to the cowards and the weak when they gave those new features. Raid bosses are now freaking easy, it's just learning how to beat him, and then rinse and repeat. Flying mount, vehicles, BGs, etc... are all coward tools not to be fighting one on one.
Doesn't change the fact that both game are extremely different, and that WoW does not necesserily bring what someone is looking for.
one problem here. you mention the importance of 1v1 to you. FYI, play an xbox game on the net with someone, MMO's are ment to be more of an epic battle, not games to strorke your epeen.
When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.
From a non-bias perspective, I actually want someone to convince me this game is worth buying but everyone is doing a very poor job. I'm getting a lot of "just enjoy the ride, please stop comparing this game to wow", or “you must be an idiot fan boy to not want to get this game.” It's almost like people who pre-purchased the game don't want to see the game fail because they will feel bad for believing in a mmo that just falls short of warhammer's "success." I’ve seen the same attitude with Darkfall and we all know that story well.
I'm reading these threads and weather its hard core pvp enthusiasts or those looking for a true sand box PVE oriented mmorpg experience, no one is offering in detail why I should play this game over others. It sounds like the best thing people can come up with is, “Just do it.”
Can someone give me a few reasons why you believe this game won’t be a one month thrill ride? If you hate wow then why not warhammer over aion, why not lotro? What the hell does aion do that is so special? When I buy this game and leave the next month will you assume I along with thousands of other players are simply idiots?
Only you can determine whether to play a game or not. Relying on people in this forum to do it for you is silly. Did you try the open beta? Have you tried C-AION? Both were/are viable options for evaluating the game first hand. But because you've already convinced yourself the game isn't worth playing, there really is no point in saying anything else except this: if building straw mans was a profession, you'd be set for life.
They can adjust a game all day, but they can't help the issue between the keyboard and the chair. Played: UO, DAoC, AC, WoW, EVE, TR, WAR, Aion, Rift, SWTOR, GW2, TSW, ESO, Elite:D Play EVE for free for 21 days

Yodablaze, truth is no one should convince you that a game is worth buying. That would most likely lead to buyer remorse on your part if your interpretation of a good game is different from the one doing the convincing. Convincing you one way or the other is what the Open Beta is for IMO and unfortunately, you missed the boat. The next best thing for you would be to either wait until there is a free trial or if you have a friend that is buying the game, ask if they would be willing to let you give it a try on their account.
I'm not broke. I buy games to try them. If it isn't worth buying to me, it wasn't worth trying. In short, Aion hasn't proven to me that it is even worth trying.
This topic was started to defend the so called opinions of other gamers that believe Aion is feeding us the same crap they’ve played before. It’s obvious a lot of players out here want something different and Aion doesn’t give us that. So far it looks like a cosmetic gimmick and nothing I’ve seen or heard says otherwise. So far you say it is different because:
1. You get wings.
2. You can make your character look like barack obama if you like.
3. New environments. Goodie, a new big world.
4. Nice graphics, um, nice armor, um, did I mention you get wings?
Add something to this list that makes Aion different from other mmos. Maybe there was something written in Korean I missed. Educate me and I'll join the club of Aion fan boys.

Pretty much solves your own dilemma from the previous post, wouldn't you say. Remind me again as to why you even bothered posting the previous post?
Oh, and...
1. In-flight PvP
2. Movement-based combat abilities
3. Experience gained from leveling your profession(s)
One of the funniest things I see on these reviews is people that say this... I have played wow for years and years... I have 7 lvl 80 characters and done every raid.... and playing this game, it is just more of the same... I will go back to playing wow .
Logic escapes these people. How on earth is a new storyline, a new world, angellic looking characters, new stories.. etc be less new... than doing exactly what you have done before a thousand times? (which btw IS by definition 'More of the same')
I am baffled. Did they expect the computer game to give them a handjob or something?
blizzard just happens to have these easy-to-get-into-worlds in every game they make so any random world with random lore like aion looks dull.
now the storyline. i cant say i know whats at the end of aion, but i doubt there is something insanely original in the end. not saying wow had extremely original stuff (tho its put in a nice way which makes it looks original). just sayin that it cant be something else than 'oh-snap-how-epic' kind of raid with some main villain dieing or something. you may call it cliche ending of most of rpg games these days.
so in a way the guy is right - its like playing more of the same. untill someone releases something different you may as well play the first you played. in that guys case its wow. thats the easiest thing to do...
I feel as if the WoW fanclub joins these forums because they feel threatened. Like they are going to lose all their friends in their WoW community and don't want to play alone so they flame and hate on new games to keep them from playing.
Aion hasn't proven to me that it is even worth trying. But it has convinced you to come here and bash a game you didn't even try for free when you had the chance. This topic was started to defend the so called opinions of other gamers that believe Aion is feeding us the same crap they’ve played before. Aion is Aion, it is not the same as any existing game. It’s obvious a lot of players out here want something different and Aion doesn’t give us that. Sure it does, you just refuse to see it. So far it looks like a cosmetic gimmick and nothing I’ve seen or heard says otherwise. Have you tried it? So far you say it is different because: ...
2. You can make your character look like barack obama if you like. Gasp! A game that lets you create a truly unique looking avatar! How rude!
3. New environments. Goodie, a new big world. Yes, which is kinda a staple of MMOs. If you don't like to play in new environments and explore new worlds, why even play MMOs?
...
5. PvP *outside of a BOX*. This is a big selling point and a huge differentiation from WoW. If you don't like PvP, or if you don't see the merit of such a system, then Aion might not be the game for you. Add something to this list that makes Aion different from other mmos. Maybe there was something written in Korean I missed. Educate me and I'll join the club of Aion fan boys. I don't see many Aion fanboys. But what I do see are people responding to negative comments made by clueless people.

Spoken like a true WoW fanboy. Why is it so hard to understand that Aion is not the same as WoW? Is it really *that* difficult to accept? Just because games share similar mechanics doesn't make them the same, otherwise why would people have chosen to play WoW when it first came out? Despite any revisionist history you might like to spin, WoW copied a lot of the mechanics from the MMOs that came before it, but yet it was not the same as those MMOs. Gasp! What an original concept!

Something I can never understand all these animosity from other games toward new game. If you don't like the game, you DO NOT HAVE TO PLAY for the game. No one is forcing anyone to play the game.
Yes, WOW is king of the MMO, but there are lot of people NOT playing WOW, they like to play something else. I played WOW and it's an average game to me. Aion is another average game as well. Don't see the huge different between two.
More and more posts are asking for Mini game or flying mount or some feature are in WOW, if you want those things you should just stay and play WOW, no one is asking you to play another game. If you want PvP to level up, go to play Warhammer. If you like more race and classes, go to play EQ2 or WOW. This is a free country, you can play whatever you want.
Teco you are a scholar and a poet my friend. I agree with this guy.
Aside from the fact that not everyone who posts here is from the same country, but okay.

Huh? Ultima, Everquest and I think Phantasy Star Online was before the dawn of wow and even then War Craft was an online monster years before blizzard created wow. Wow revolutionized mmo gaming on every level. Guild Wars came out around the same time as wow but the standard of what a true mmo was, was not yet set. Wow set that bar.

God, I really hope your joking, you're joking right?
Aion is DAoC light. Hell instead of three races you get only two and less PvE to participate in! LOL! And this is what people are calling a good MMORPG. As for WoW - Aion cannot touch WoW. WoW has more races, more clasess and way bigger world to explore and the BG's in WoW put anything Aion has to offer to shame. I love how the WoW haters that are hyping Aion try to make it seem otherwise but the fact is in the games. I have played all three and Aion is just not that good of a game. It's as if they cut a lot of corners to get it to market and what we got was an extermely shallow game that brings with it all that is bad from games like Lineage 2 and such. Lineage 2 is a better game than Aion, even. If Aion floats your boat, go for it, but do not try to make it out to be something it is not and it is a far from being the next big MMO - if anything it will be a niche' game for a few die-hard fans of of this style of game and will not be all that successful in EU and NA.
I find it quite ironic that a person who has admitted to have only played for a little while is making all sorts of claims about the game you couldn't possibly have known.
Your first few arguments are silly. WoW has more races and more classes. Everquest 2 has even more so by that criteria, Everquets 2 must be a better game, right?
Battlegrounds are better than anything AIon has to offer? How would you know? You know next to nothing about the game.
Remember how you were so ignorant about Aion you actually made a post in the off - topic saying how it was a Lineage 2 type Asian grinder? Oh but now it's suddenly Dark age of Camelot light?
Here is a suggestion Teala: Go play Mount & Blade and stop criticizing games you clearly know nothing about. It makes you look rather stupid.
For anybody who still needs further confirmation you can safely ignore anything Teala says about Aion and not miss out on anything, this comes from her own mouth:
"Game is just another Korean grinder. I saw nothing in this game that would get me to play it. Nothing. So glad I got a chance to play it. Because it saved me money. ^_^"
So a game that is apparently Dark Age of Camelot Light is also a Korean grinder because Dark Age of Camelot was apparently a korean grinder.
I stand by what I said, take the basic Frontier game play of DAoC and this would be the abyss and rest is all Lineage 2 pretty much with a few things changed - other wise - yes it is DAoC lite ala Lineage 2. LOL! Say what you will but I predict this game will be like Lineage 2 here in the US and EU because it just doesn't have what many MMORPG gamers like to see in an MMO. Sorry if that makes you all sad, but that's how it will be. In 6 months people will be like Aion...pffft...shallow game and not worth the monthly fee.
I agree OP, it is .... LESS of the same. Where is my flying mount? Where is my mount? Where is my underwater world? Aion may one day have these, even WOW didn't have 2/3 at launch. Where is my seamless open world with NO invisible walls? -Well, that's never going to happen, but does it need to? Where are my extremely polished scripted RAid bosses with reactive phases. "Get out of that fire" and "please heal me in that pot " -Fortunately, its an open world PVP based game, and not focused on raiding. For those folks I guess there's always WOW. Where is my ladder based PvP competition? You mean no risk, no consequences, no impact on the game world don't you? My beautfiul and extremely crafted/polished Battlegrounds? That people don't actually fight in, but rather accuse each other of turtling, or rushing past each other to attack the bosses. And again, win or lose, other than a piece of gear, what do you gain? None of that in Aion fortunately. Where is my changing world in phasing? The destructable buildings and mounted tank combat? My dual specs? Again, features that may one day show up in a future expansion, should the need arise. Where is ... the game? I guess it hides deep in the pockets of some Korean bank account.
If we compared the feature set of Aion to some previously released games at launch, we'd see they are actually pretty comparable. Now true, 5 years later there's some disparity, but we'll see how it goes.
But the big difference between Aion and other games is, you haven't done it all before 100 times....

WTH are you talking about? Did you even read what i wrote? I was not bashing WoW, I was pointing out that even though WoW copied a lot of mechanics from the MMOs that came before it, people did not accuse it of being the "same as [insert game here]". The same courtesy should be extended to Aion.
The rest of your post is irrelevant and myopic. WoW was not revolutionary in terms of mechanics/gameplay when it came out (and neither is Aion). Far from it. WoW copied and polished the features from the games that came before it (UO, EQ, AO, DAoC, EVE, etc.).
I will agree that it revolutionized the popularity of MMOs and currently sets the standard.

And just because it has more races, doesn't make it better. I played wow and liked it up to point where I wanted to pvp, but never got anywhere because I wanted to pvp. In order pvp, I had to get pvp gear. In order to get pvp gear, I had to get honor points or arena points(which arena points are hard as hell to get). I had to win arena and BGs. Well since I played horde and in Bgs you loose most of the time since it was in alliance favor... yeah its more work then anything else.. Don't get me wrong I liked playing wow, I am just moving on because of the pvp aspect... I don't have to get certain gear just to pvp and clutting my bank up with armor and weapons. so everyone has their opion on what makes them want or not want to play aion... but judging aion on races is like judging food by looking at it and not tasting it.
See, you're in for a huge surprise. Aion is all about the rankings in PvP and how do you get the best gear in Aion...by PvP. LOL! Good news though. All you have to do is do what they do on the Chinese servers. Just let the otherside win every other day and you'll be able to be awarded points that will go toward your battle ranking giving access to the good gear! Woohoo! Awesome huh.
You'll find that the grind for gear in Aion is not much different than any other MMORPG and in the case of Aion it can be a real pain in the arse. Wait and see. ^_^

Every time I post my bank account goes cha-ching! Get real. I post because I have an opinion, just like many others.
lol. These threads are quite funny. I'm actually considering buying Aion this month simply because of the drama . I don't have any hopes for this game to last, but I'll still attempt to have my fun out of it. Getting wings at level 10 may seem fun for a while... but only for a while.
The truth is, Aion will make it's money at first but only at first. Unless there is something the world is missing that is found in Aion, players won't stick around, even the ones that are defending Aion right now. I've been in the warhammer, lotro "hope for a brighter day" group. I've played enough mmos to know that Aion isn't the next best thing. Aion is what is to make NCsoft it's money before Guild Wars 2 comes out. Understand the business aspect. Guild Wars 2 may be the next big contender and if so, then ask yourself, "what will become of Aion?" The same company is publishing these games. lol

"Game is just another Korean grinder. I saw nothing in this game that would get me to play it. Nothing. So glad I got a chance to play it. Because it saved me money. ^_^"
So a game that is apparently Dark Age of Camelot Light is also a Korean grinder because Dark Age of Camelot was apparently a korean grinder.
I stand by what I said, take the basic Frontier game play of DAoC and this would be the abyss and rest is all Lineage 2 pretty much with a few things changed - other wise - yes it is DAoC lite ala Lineage 2. LOL! Say what you will but I predict this game will be like Lineage 2 here in the US and EU because it just doesn't have what many MMORPG gamers like to see in an MMO. Sorry if that makes you all sad, but that's how it will be. In 6 months people will be like Aion...pffft...shallow game and not worth the monthly fee.
How much is Blizzard paying you to post here? Otherwise, I'm really curious as to why you're even wasting your time in the Aion threads. You must have a ton of free time on your hands. Good for you!
Every time I post my bank account goes cha-ching! Get real. I post because I have an opinion, just like many others.
. . . and you know what is said about opinions right?
It's a Jeep thing. . . _______ |___| \_______/ = |||||| = |X| \*........*/ |X| |X|_________|X| You wouldn't understand
Aion is DAoC light. Hell instead of three races you get only two and less PvE to participate in! LOL! And this is what people are calling a good MMORPG. As for WoW - Aion cannot touch WoW. WoW has more races, more clasess and way bigger world to explore and the BG's in WoW put anything Aion has to offer to shame. I love how the WoW haters that are hyping Aion try to make it seem otherwise but the fact is in the games. I have played all three and Aion is just not that good of a game. It's as if they cut a lot of corners to get it to market and what we got was an extermely shallow game that brings with it all that is bad from games like Lineage 2 and such. Lineage 2 is a better game than Aion, even. If Aion floats your boat, go for it, but do not try to make it out to be something it is not and it is a far from being the next big MMO - if anything it will be a niche' game for a few die-hard fans of of this style of game and will not be all that successful in EU and NA.
I find it quite ironic that a person who has admitted to have only played for a little while is making all sorts of claims about the game you couldn't possibly have known.
Your first few arguments are silly. WoW has more races and more classes. Everquest 2 has even more so by that criteria, Everquets 2 must be a better game, right?
Battlegrounds are better than anything AIon has to offer? How would you know? You know next to nothing about the game.
Remember how you were so ignorant about Aion you actually made a post in the off - topic saying how it was a Lineage 2 type Asian grinder? Oh but now it's suddenly Dark age of Camelot light?

Well, I just heard a rumor that AoC's numbers are on the rise. It appears they could use a good troll over in their forum to squelch that growth.
...I don't have any hopes for this game to last, but I'll still attempt to have my fun out of it. Good for you. Way to look for a silver lining. Getting wings at level 10 may seem fun for a while... but only for a while. I'm glad you set limits on fun for yourself. The truth is, Aion will make it's money at first but only at first. Thank goodness you have posted THE TRUTH. Your crystal-ball insight on a game you've never played is both a boon and a blessing to these boards! Unless there is something the world is missing that is found in Aion, players won't stick around, even the ones that are defending Aion right now. Defending Aion and responding to morons who-never-played-the-game-but-like-to-bash it anyway are two different things. I've been in the warhammer, lotro "hope for a brighter day" group. So, everyone who wants to play Aion is part of this "hope for a brighter day group". If so, I feel so left out! I've played enough mmos to know that Aion isn't the next best thing. It's the next thing, but "best" is subjective. Aion is what is to make NCsoft it's money before Guild Wars 2 comes out. That's what i call good business--making money. Understand the business aspect. Guild Wars 2 may be the next big contender More of THE TRUTH! Thank goodness for your inspired, and dare I say, "divine" insight. and if so, then ask yourself, "what will become of Aion?" Nothing? Unless you are ASSuming that everyone who plays Aion is just waitng for GW2. Because, well, that would be wrong. The same company is publishing these games. Good for them! lol Indeed. lol.

That's a joke...right?
Oh, btw...not directing this at anyone in particular, but I sure do wish you retards would quit quoting entire walls of text.
No it isn't a joke. A fanboi is somebody who uses unreasonable points to defend his or her game of choice. I have done none of that, and i suggest you don't bother to reply unless you point out what part you think is unreasonable and I will be glad to correct you.
it seems that some people are under the impression when you don't jump on a games hate bandwagon it makes you a fanboi.
I dunno if you were being sarcastic, but everything you just mentioned is what broke the game to me. Flying mount removed the thrill of open RvR. WoW always had invisible walls, guess you never bumped into them. Scripted raid bosses? Those are FREAKING EASY, scripted fight are easy mode of raiding. Ladder based pvp is broken because of powerful team combinaision, no real choice. Vehicle combat is horrible, worst thing they implemented so far (other than flying mounts). World phasing seperates player while in the same zone, I disliked it since some people would use that to flee from me.
Duel spec is the only thing I'll agree upon.
Blizzard catered to the cowards and the weak when they gave those new features. Raid bosses are now freaking easy, it's just learning how to beat him, and then rinse and repeat. Flying mount, vehicles, BGs, etc... are all coward tools not to be fighting one on one.
Doesn't change the fact that both game are extremely different, and that WoW does not necesserily bring what someone is looking for.
one problem here. you mention the importance of 1v1 to you. FYI, play an xbox game on the net with someone, MMO's are ment to be more of an epic battle, not games to strorke your epeen.
When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.
From a non-bias perspective, I actually want someone to convince me this game is worth buying but everyone is doing a very poor job. I'm getting a lot of "just enjoy the ride, please stop comparing this game to wow", or “you must be an idiot fan boy to not want to get this game.” It's almost like people who pre-purchased the game don't want to see the game fail because they will feel bad for believing in a mmo that just falls short of warhammer's "success." I’ve seen the same attitude with Darkfall and we all know that story well.
I'm reading these threads and weather its hard core pvp enthusiasts or those looking for a true sand box PVE oriented mmorpg experience, no one is offering in detail why I should play this game over others. It sounds like the best thing people can come up with is, “Just do it.”
Can someone give me a few reasons why you believe this game won’t be a one month thrill ride? If you hate wow then why not warhammer over aion, why not lotro? What the hell does aion do that is so special? When I buy this game and leave the next month will you assume I along with thousands of other players are simply idiots?
Only you can determine whether to play a game or not. Relying on people in this forum to do it for you is silly. Did you try the open beta? Have you tried C-AION? Both were/are viable options for evaluating the game first hand. But because you've already convinced yourself the game isn't worth playing, there really is no point in saying anything else except this: if building straw mans was a profession, you'd be set for life.

Yodablaze, truth is no one should convince you that a game is worth buying. That would most likely lead to buyer remorse on your part if your interpretation of a good game is different from the one doing the convincing. Convincing you one way or the other is what the Open Beta is for IMO and unfortunately, you missed the boat. The next best thing for you would be to either wait until there is a free trial or if you have a friend that is buying the game, ask if they would be willing to let you give it a try on their account.
Your fail comment, failed.
I'm not broke. I buy games to try them. If it isn't worth buying to me, it wasn't worth trying. In short, Aion hasn't proven to me that it is even worth trying.
This topic was started to defend the so called opinions of other gamers that believe Aion is feeding us the same crap they’ve played before. It’s obvious a lot of players out here want something different and Aion doesn’t give us that. So far it looks like a cosmetic gimmick and nothing I’ve seen or heard says otherwise. So far you say it is different because:
1. You get wings.
2. You can make your character look like barack obama if you like.
3. New environments. Goodie, a new big world.
4. Nice graphics, um, nice armor, um, did I mention you get wings?
Add something to this list that makes Aion different from other mmos. Maybe there was something written in Korean I missed. Educate me and I'll join the club of Aion fan boys.
I play a game because it is fun. If it isn't fun anymore I quit. If you don't like AION just move on. I like it and plan on playing it.
Pretty much solves your own dilemma from the previous post, wouldn't you say. Remind me again as to why you even bothered posting the previous post?
Oh, and...
1. In-flight PvP
2. Movement-based combat abilities
3. Experience gained from leveling your profession(s)
...just to name a few.
Your fail comment, failed.
blizzard just happens to have these easy-to-get-into-worlds in every game they make so any random world with random lore like aion looks dull.
now the storyline. i cant say i know whats at the end of aion, but i doubt there is something insanely original in the end. not saying wow had extremely original stuff (tho its put in a nice way which makes it looks original). just sayin that it cant be something else than 'oh-snap-how-epic' kind of raid with some main villain dieing or something. you may call it cliche ending of most of rpg games these days.
so in a way the guy is right - its like playing more of the same. untill someone releases something different you may as well play the first you played. in that guys case its wow. thats the easiest thing to do...
I feel as if the WoW fanclub joins these forums because they feel threatened. Like they are going to lose all their friends in their WoW community and don't want to play alone so they flame and hate on new games to keep them from playing.

Spoken like a true WoW fanboy. Why is it so hard to understand that Aion is not the same as WoW? Is it really *that* difficult to accept? Just because games share similar mechanics doesn't make them the same, otherwise why would people have chosen to play WoW when it first came out? Despite any revisionist history you might like to spin, WoW copied a lot of the mechanics from the MMOs that came before it, but yet it was not the same as those MMOs. Gasp! What an original concept!

Huh? Ultima, Everquest and I think Phantasy Star Online was before the dawn of wow and even then War Craft was an online monster years before blizzard created wow. Wow revolutionized mmo gaming on every level. Guild Wars came out around the same time as wow but the standard of what a true mmo was, was not yet set. Wow set that bar.

If we compared the feature set of Aion to some previously released games at launch, we'd see they are actually pretty comparable. Now true, 5 years later there's some disparity, but we'll see how it goes.
But the big difference between Aion and other games is, you haven't done it all before 100 times....

WTH are you talking about? Did you even read what i wrote? I was not bashing WoW, I was pointing out that even though WoW copied a lot of mechanics from the MMOs that came before it, people did not accuse it of being the "same as [insert game here]". The same courtesy should be extended to Aion.
The rest of your post is irrelevant and myopic. WoW was not revolutionary in terms of mechanics/gameplay when it came out (and neither is Aion). Far from it. WoW copied and polished the features from the games that came before it (UO, EQ, AO, DAoC, EVE, etc.).
I will agree that it revolutionized the popularity of MMOs and currently sets the standard.

And just because it has more races, doesn't make it better. I played wow and liked it up to point where I wanted to pvp, but never got anywhere because I wanted to pvp. In order pvp, I had to get pvp gear. In order to get pvp gear, I had to get honor points or arena points(which arena points are hard as hell to get). I had to win arena and BGs. Well since I played horde and in Bgs you loose most of the time since it was in alliance favor... yeah its more work then anything else.. Don't get me wrong I liked playing wow, I am just moving on because of the pvp aspect... I don't have to get certain gear just to pvp and clutting my bank up with armor and weapons. so everyone has their opion on what makes them want or not want to play aion... but judging aion on races is like judging food by looking at it and not tasting it.
See, you're in for a huge surprise. Aion is all about the rankings in PvP and how do you get the best gear in Aion...by PvP. LOL! Good news though. All you have to do is do what they do on the Chinese servers. Just let the otherside win every other day and you'll be able to be awarded points that will go toward your battle ranking giving access to the good gear! Woohoo! Awesome huh.
You'll find that the grind for gear in Aion is not much different than any other MMORPG and in the case of Aion it can be a real pain in the arse. Wait and see. ^_^
