I remember the wow launch..now THAT was an overall mess.
You're comparing ESO launch to a 10year old launch? What do you think a Blizzard launch would be like compared to ESO nowadays?
Nope, I'm comparing what I view as a decent launch with what I view as an "overall mess". You want a more recent example perhaps? Final Fantasy 14 ARR re-launch. THAT was an overall mess. A few bugged quests and dungeons don't register as an "overall mess" to me. Unless im unaware of some other gamebreaking bugs.
I dont know...how about:
12 hours on down time on launch day
Thousands of paying customers unable to even access the game for days due to issues with keys
Serious game account security issues
Serious player accont security loopholes implemented BY DESIGN
Random rollbacks affecting multiple game zones
Embarrassing billing errors
Duping / botting rife
Gold sellers rampant from day 1
Players hitting max level in what, 17 hours
Those are just the most serious complaints I can recall off the top of my head. It has certainly NOT been a good launch...
Wait...
Rofl...Did you just include things like Gold Sellers, Botting, Duping, Players hitting Max Level ect ect with reasons for a Bad Launch?
I may have to check if this is even possible but I think the most ardent defenders of this game , the ones who broach no flaw in it, might be suffering from Stockholm syndrome because the game is just good enough while still being basically abusive towards them (example: take the person calling duping and gold sellers from day one a non-issue, duping is a massive issue for a game out of alpha stage and gold sellers being around since day one implies that someone got their shit hacked or they were allowed to exist in the first place where most are botters as well so either the game has piss poor bot detection/security or the devs don't care).
What I don't understand is why everyone feels the need to openly hate on the game as aggressively as they do simply because they don't like it. I haven't enjoyed an MMO in years, this game changed that. I log on, hundreds of people saying they love it.
I never seen such a crowd that wants a game to fail simply because they don't like it. The comic was lame btw, I cracked a half smile at the mudcrabs though.
Well if nothing is fixed since beta, which everyone hater or fan confirms, the strip is accurate ...
People hate cause they dont want to see bad games becomes famous and destroy a whole genre( WoW ? ) which they love and want to see investments in the direction they believe is better for their tastes. Thats why people hate cash grabs like ESO or SWtoR.

I have never seen anyone being banned for saying something intelligent. Only obnoxious trolls get a ban hammer.
And OP is simply posting the comics that already exist on the internet. What is next? get all those sites banned too?
mhmm - so innocent indeed, along with the "comic is spot on" statement right? Not a troll attempt at all. By the way:

Man you guys are way too serious about this game aren't you?
Its just a comic ffs. Internet is full of comics for every MMO and comics have been poking fun at MMORPGS for over 10 years now.
Let me tell you what is a slippery slope...to threaten OP with a ban and to report him for something so silly.
jeez!!

Geez some people just shouldn't reproduce.
