All games have fanboys. GW2, TOR, WoW etc... In fact, in all the forums I go to, TOR official forum is the worst place for what you are describing. You can't even make suggestions on how to improve the game without being attacked. Must be the StarWars/bioware syndrome. Either way, there are these people for every upcoming game. I'm not how you think GW2 is any different, or worth explicitly pointing out.
Probably because this is a GW2 forum and topic that is explicitly targeting other games. Of course you can find this crap anywhere, for anything not just games. If you take that defensively thats your prob. Doesnt make it any less true regardless of whos throwing stones.
I've actually seen more GW2 bashing in this thread than TOR. Mainly because of 1/2 people. Most of the TOR comments seem rather indifferent or constructive. Even the OP mentions that the exception to his comment was TOR. Thats exactly right. There is a ton of GW2 bashing coming from everywhere because basically the OP slammed every other mmo coming out except tor. You think theres only tor and gw2 fans on these forums? There are a ton of fans of every upcoming mmo so what do you expect when the OP thinks they should give up compared to his fav? anyway, this is dumb heh.
Guild wars 2: I cannot describe this game... its like 0 divided by 0 and then black hole f*** everything. Hype: 10 + 0/0
I have read most of your forum posts and I admire your optimism. I really do. But you're setting yourself up for disappointment, mate.
disappointment? its the first game ever that hype me so much. this game will win for sure. other game like SWTOR and Archage may be very successful too but im SURE Guild wars 2 wont be disappointing.
I really want to know what will disappoint me. please tell me if you can. but i doub you can.
I hope GW2 meets your expectations. Many of us salty old trolls are here because we've been in your shoes, and let down, over and over.
This exactly...
I have been burned so many times by the almighty hype meter. I am done with getting excited about an MMO...all of these newer MMO's disappoint in the end.

Well if you spent less time reading up on his post history of 27, you can squeeze in time to go look at a guild wars 2 video and have fun, why bother with a hype rating of undefined, it actually made the game sound bad :P
I'll take your advice and watch some of the videos. Please help me find a good Guild Wars 2 podcast with actual PvP combat. Thanks in advance.
10min of ingame combat footage, I think theres some PvP shown at the near end of the trailer, but this basically shows the lack of class system and how everyone helps out everyone, reviving and casting firewalls for protection as well as fire arrows.
EDIT: It also is in a playlist of HD GW2 vids, now surely one of them will inspire you (not to be a fanboy tho, keep it realistic :P)
That doesn't look like a PvP encounter at all. I'm pretty sure the charr in the silver plate armour isn't a player character. He doesn't try to block line of sight and never attempts to engage the casters. Instead he kills the hunter pets within melee range - with his rifle.
Having said that, I still think the PvE part looks interesting to say the least. And I think most people agree on that. However, the reason I asked specifically for a PvP video was to make a point: Some of the core features touted by the developers have yet to be showcased at the conventions. I'm obviously referring to WvWvW and PvP in general, but there may be other features.
Now I ask you: How can you be so confident that Guild Wars 2 is the be all and end all MMO?

I understand what you mean. We can't know yet if Guild Wars 2 will succed or fail. one of the most important aspect of the game (pvp) have yet to be announced and fully explained.
Actually, we won't be able to tell if it live up to his hype until we play it ...
I'd like to voice a view that I don't believe has been said yet. I actually trust that ANet will make a good game. I realize this is a bit odd, but they made three great games and one great expansion (or rather one great game and three great expansions depending on which way you look at it) which increased in quality with each step. GW1 has been my favorite MMO yet and although people have many different expectations for GW2, I really doubt it will be worse than the first.
So in other words I'm not sure whether it will be what everyone expected, but I have high expectations for it that I believe will be met.

ya, what he said.
I hate to rush perfection, but please hurry Anet.
Current MMO community is being tortured with the dreadfull attempts to make a final dollar before you release the GOD of all MMO's.
