Just when you thought it was safe to take off the tin foil hats, another site has claimed that GW2 is the best MMO of the year.

Themepark hate club unite! Tell everyone how they are wrong to enjoy this game!

They can enjoy the game as much as they like but GW 2, and ThemeParks in general, are like McDonalds. Garbage and not a proper food (mmo).

Biggest Disappointment of 2012: City of Heroes' sunset (Runner-up: Guild Wars 2)
Tell me more about the high quality fantasy sandbox you play.
From Jef, who is a self confessed sandbox fan. Oh, and someone who was upset they still dont have guesting.
Also the guy said this:
"SOE's portfolio is second to none, and it's one of the few big studios that isn't afraid to experiment with non-combat features and virtual world bells and whistles. EverQuest, EverQuest II, Vanguard, DC Universe Online, PlanetSide 2, Clone Wars Adventures, and Free Realms all are high-quality games that speak to a wide cross-section of gamers, and SOE's willingness to scrap initial EverQuest Next plans in favor of a sandbox reboot was the best piece of news I heard all year."
So GW2 was a disappointment, but SoE has a great portfolio, and Free Realms and Clone Adventures are high quality games. What a laugh.
I am sure it is an awesome game (for some) but it is a crappy MMORPG. And massively is wrong saying that it is.

This OP comes across as a bit trollish tbh. I won't report you as baiting, but you are sailing close.
That aside... speaking as someone who is open to themeparks... I simply do not think GW2 is the best themepark (or any other type) MMORPG out there right now.
It seems the 'best' has to come from games released in this year? I am not sure that makes sense for these games... I mean, this makes sense for finite life single player titles, but a MMORPG is an ongoing service. It dosen't become irrelevant just because it wasn't realeased this year. I think that these kind of sites have to adjust their perspective here when talking about these games... There are FAR better MMOs out there than GW2 in my opinion.
I mean, to rank GW2 above EvE as a MMORPG seems strange, and I don't even play EvE.
If the reporting sites don't see these games as more then short term temporary throwaway experiences, why should the player base?
Can you please tell us how a proper MMORPG should be in your opinion?
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
They have an opinion and so do you but, they have a bigger name and have more impact. I think that is the problem here. People think that there opinions ACTUALLY MATTER when they whine like this. They don't.
The OP does come off as trollish - not good form.
its crappy becouse?
it dont have raids?
One based on virtual, persistant world. No instances, no quest hubs and level bracketted zones. A world which is like a real world, i.e. not constructed but rather evolved organically.

No, I am just pointing out that while the magazine awarded this, it also considered it the runner-up for biggest dissapointment.
Grimal don't you love reactions to the failure of their ever flawless logic.
Because i can.

I just find it amusing that the same site awarded and considered it in strongly in such polar opposite categories.
Another well deserved award. And there's more to come, I'm sure.
Oh, and no matter if the OP is "trolling" or not... because then at least half if not more of the people who answered here deserve a ban for "retaliation".Respect, walk

That I have to agree with. Those that love the game considered it the best of the year, and those that expected or wanted something different were disappointed.

It's one of the categories in their list. Scroll down. You should see it. I am not making this up.

Because it obviously is just an example and not the larger point being made. You could replace EvE here with any number of older MMORPGs, it wouldn't matter. It was just an example.
Just seems you focused in on that one thing and ignored everything else I was saying.
The last thing I want to do is be dragged down by a squabble of whether specific MMORPG X is better then specific MMORPG Y... The point I was making isn't really about that.
Lets move on past EvE.
The point is that older games, as ongoing services, should be considered for these yearly awards IMO.
