I have seen a few post here (and other forums) saying Aion is getting bad professional reviews, but in every case when links are demanded, none are given. I found a link that displays a summary of reviews and none of them even remotely negative. If the WoW fanboi's or who ever says Aion is getting rippped refuse to post links, then just take them for the trolls that they are.
Here is the summary link I was referring to: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/aionthetowerofeternity

The trolls have no fodder to tarnish Aion, so they make up stories ... pretty sad indeed. Typical Aion servers have 3-5 hr ques, its obvious its a huge hit in the West aswell..
GW2 the future of MMO gaming
Tbh I have only seen 2 of these threads and they have actually been posted by people who say they are playing and enjoying Aion. Not WoW Fanboi's as you say.
People have no proof. It's just hate that's all to prevalent on these boards.
Exactly!
So in response to the OP:
Give a link where a WoW fanboi claims that there are bad professional reviews for Aion.
Yes, Aion is a wonderful game for people that rely on reviews to tell them what is good and what isn't.
I think by bad reviews some are referring to the less than 100% scores Aion is getting. As for a Link to a review try this one from Eurogamer, I think it balanced, and hits the issues some have with the linearity and repetitive game play:

HAHA, I liked this from the review...
"After a week playing a Chanter in the open beta for Aion: The Tower of Eternity, NCsoft's new MMO, this sequence of key-presses is hard-coded into the muscle memory my left hand. I can tap it out on a table-top, the rhythm steady, urgent yet patient, hitting every skill's cooldown on the nose. Not a second or a mana point wasted. 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5."
What? the guy has never heard of the macro system? LOL. he could have reduced that to 1 key alone....
Seriously though, EVERY MMO has key sequences that you will use for your own particular class. I guess thats why he gave it a 7/10.
I like Aion and still playing it.
However, there are some issues. WAR had huge issues and it was hard to find a "bad" review. Most reviews for WAR went something like "the game is great, buy this game, it has some problems but don;t reallly look at those buy this game."
Even professional reviews are nothing to go by. The only reiewer good enough is yourself.
Professional reviewers are paid off shills and can not be trusted.
I only trust MMO gamers reactions to the game.
