I just skimmed through the "Overall Weekend Experience Rating (out of 10)" thread on the official forums and it seems that most people are rating it 8/10 and up. Some people did give it 7, 6 and even 5/10 but most of the lower scores seems to be due to bugs and optimization issues. One guy gave it a low score because it was not like GW1.
In general, most of the posts seem positive. Also, based on my observation of the in-game chat on the Darkhaven server, a lot of people seems to be liking the game. Not that I played a lot of attention to the chat but I haven't really seen anything negative. In comparisson TERA beta chat was full of vitriol.
So you picked the one thread and skimmed it. Read the complaint threads which there are plenty of and are bigger threads. You guys can say this is a wow killer, but it isnt. Not enough serious PVE to the game which is one of the main reasons Im not going to play it. If I wanted to zerg down big bosses I would play guild wars.
Looks like your run of the mill beta constructive criticism to me. Keep trying, eventually your find a post with as much hateful troll sauce that were seeing on the forums here.

I personally never said or thought that. Because I don't think that. I still maintain the threads are mostly constructive in that people see bits they don't like, they post their reasons, sometimes with suggestions. There's not alot of this game is perfect as is or this game blows chunks threads. It's somewhere in the middle.

I'm looking at the first 2 pages of the general discussion section and I see absolutely no complaint threads. Most, if not all threads are positive. People are calling it an amazing game. There is one thread where the guy is very disappointed but it's because he can't log in.
There are some constructive criticism threads where people are making suggestions but that's not the same as complaining.
Is the game perfect? Far from it but so far it's fun and a lot of people like it. Don't hate, congradulate.

you won't find that attitude nor the other extreme either that's definately true.
Funny because I am as well ind its about 50-50 with threads but the comments range in the 70% mark negative. There has never been a forum in history that is mostly positive and dont spin it as such when it not posible. Even Wow who has a huge fan base is 70% negative.
Look I get it you like the game but dont mislead people. Its morally wrong.
I do indeed see beta in there. I saw beta included in open beta's as well a week before the game launched. This is no different. This was advertisement They wanted to sell their game and did to 500k people of which about 30% want their money back and cant get it.
If this was a real beta you wouldnt have sold the game to get access.

Hmmm.. lets see. I saw the exact same thing over at SWTOR and now its happening at TERA.
The only ones misleading are you and your fellow haters. I bet your all from WoW and your trying desperatly to get people to come back to your game...LOL!!
This was never a real beta if it was you wouldnt have had to buy the game to get in to try it out... Open you're eyes this game will release this summer and is no where near ready.
Melee combat is gimped compared to ranges
Its not optimized not even close
Server side lag in WvW was the down fall to warhammer.
Aoe dmg is completly out of control like warhammer
Melee getting one shot at DE's
Framerate loss with great vid cards
These are all real issues. Now I have defended and railed against the game where it deserves it, but this game will release with some of these same issues if not talked about.
You sir are not talking about any of them in fact you rail against the people that do.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!
That is YOUR opinion. Everybody who pre-purchased knew exactly what they were buying.

So you have 10 friends, now you speak for the millions who pre-ourchased?!
That is possibly the most pretentious statement I have ever seen. Sorry, but your ego is too big for me, goodbye.
how surprising. fanboys liking GW2 on official forums. did u really expect anything different?
oh and ingame chat: a huge amount of those people chatting already payed for this game and additionally for this beta and ofc they all are in denial of how dire the situation really is.
better try the game urself and get ur own opinion.
i asked a friend to lend me his accoutn for a few hours to test it abit and boy am i glad i saved myself 70€.
you can't judge an MMO like GW2 after 'several hours', that's just asinine. Give it time, have an open mind, and it'll grow on you. It isn't the type of game that immediately sucks you in
I really don't understand these types of post that claim you need to give a mmo time before you like it. The first lvls of a MMO should INSTANTLY grab the players attention and make him / her want to play even more. Honestly I like GW2 but I havent had the same need to play feeling like I had when I first started playing WoW. Hopefully the issues get fixed and the game gets better tho.
This is exactly my opinion! I still remember like i played DAoC beta or the very first time WoW Retail in 2006 and i almost got instantly hooked on it. this is also true for GW1 beta weekend 1 where it still used the old gfx engine .

Preordered D3 and TSW today
Have you beta tested D3?
Every person I have talked to that has been waiting for D3, is not buying it. Total garbage.

Only one friend of mine has played it so far, they said it was "alright". She's a pretty big gamer too, but not really an MMO player (not that D3 is an MMO)
I have and most in our guild plans on buying it. We all played beta together and the game was fun. In fact I would guess to say guild wars 2 comes no where near the sales of D3 for one reason. Its a blizzard game. Its also very popular in Asian country's which GW2 wont be. You are also making a huge judgement on the 3% of the game they had released in their beta unlike GW2 which released most content to be seen to sell their game. D3 beta was at most a demo.

Now that I have to agree with. Blizzard could produce a lump of cold sheep shit, and people would buy it.
Looks like your run of the mill beta constructive criticism to me. Keep trying, eventually your find a post with as much hateful troll sauce that were seeing on the forums here.
You mean like yours where you were calling people idiots and telling people to go cry to their momas? i am sure those happen and get locked quickly.
Sorry, no troll snack for you. Properly responding to your statement will only open 5 more seperate paths of derailment in regards to tards that complain to the given issues of beta tests like lag and connection problems.
Wait.. that was a snack I guess. Damn it I DID feed the troll didnt I...
Correct me if i am wrong but you are saying that it is ok to call peope idiots and mock them with phrases like ' go cry to your momma' as long as you are doing it to defend GW2? if someone is doing it against GW2 than that person is a troll? because i can link your topic here if you like.
