Really?: GW2 Rated higher than WoW on MMORPG.com

Dulu

One game is a titanic achievement in gaming. The other, a boring clone of the aforementioned titan.

 

One had 16 million players in its prime. The other is losing players rapidly, after only a couple months post release, and it doesn't even have a subscription fee.

 

 

The quality and depth of WoW far surpasses the improved graphics (yet increased performance demand, and increase in zone walls, and lack of content) of GW2.

 

 

I played WoW from release until recently. I haven't played MoP yet. I played GW2 to level cap, got bored, and quit.

 

 

The game's sadly do not even compare. WoW was just superior in every way. It deserves the top spot on MMORPG.com, or this site loses almost all credibility in its rankings.

Holy.. lets the war begin lol..

 

Just one thing tough, wow has never had 16 millions players but approx. 12 million subscribers (not player).

For me it is the other way around. A lot of people like Twilight too. Popularity doesn't say anything about quality, only about presence of PR.

I'm not saying that I agree with you, but WoW has pretty much always been disliked on this website. No matter how popular it is, it will never be considered the best game here.

The two games are different enough that someone could prefer either or.

Great: you have an opinion. An overwhelming majority -try to find what it takes to get a 8.95 average, considering how some people like you cast very unfavorable votes (and are perfectly entitled to do so)- thinks otherwise. Maybe they're all wrong, and blind, and idiotic... or maybe they just have a different opinion, and think the graphics, systems and philosophy of this game suit them perfectly.

Yeah, democracy is overrated. Take over MMORPG.com and rule us all with your superior wisdom, boss!

1st of all, dont use so much space.

2nd for 4 years now 2nd life has more players than wow and now 1st is world of tanks with 40mill

so if now gw2 has more players than wow is useless since other 2 are far beyond those 2

There's quite a few "WoW clones" rated higher than WoW. It's not just GW2. You didn't think it would be the highest rated game on this site after 8 years did you?

Bottom line is that something being popular doesn't mean that it's good.

Think about AOL back in the day; it was the most subscribed to internet service provider despite actual computer savy people understanding it to be the worst.

By the way, I hate WoW post-vanilla (vanilla WoW was incredible) and GW2 sucks even more.

Stating common sense doesn't make you a moron.
