Even if xfire numbers have less weight than Raptr, it stil measures some million of ppl playing hours. It shows a trend and thats why those games i mentioned before are in top 5. ESO on the other hand started at 16 and dropped to 22 already. This also shows a lot.
Btw I dont get why you always get wildstar in the conversation. As i said before, despite i like wildstar more than eso, i ll be very very happy if they are able to sell 1m copies. Not keep 1m subs after the free month, but 1m boxes at release.
That is completely wrong. GW2's sample in Xfire for example is based on 722 players. Xfire is something people don't use anymore. You need to move over to Raptr which actually has a sample of 30+ million players. Not a few thousand like Xfire.
Raptr shows info every day or every month for played hours?
It shows it for week/month/year.
may i have a link pls to this?
You might need to register to see the data. But the site is Raptr.com.
i m registered already but i cant find where i can view total playing hours for every game. only mine ones
Go to Raptr.com > On the top right go to Discover > Games
And then you can click the "Everyone" tab.
It's entertainment, just like music. It's like voting for who's the best metal band. Do I really care?
Thx
Dude you are trying way too hard. Your history shows you have a history of jumping on the hater train. After seeing a few post about how you've been at bashing ESO for awhile i looked at your history. Sure enough for almost two years you created threads in attempts to bash Swtor. So does this mean we can look forward to you create threads in attempts to bashing eso for a couple years? Do you even play eso?
As for your comment about eso players don't know about mmorpg, no the truth is about 1% of mmorpg players come to sites like this because of posters like you who spend their time hating video games and posting threads they mean absolutely nothing .
Discrediting his argument by attacking him and then not bothering to read the post where he said he plays?
With around 50-60 million players around 1% is around 600k or in translation: enough of a sample size to incorporate TESO players on both sides of the line as you so eloquently demonstrated.
This is sadly true. I have seen it happen firsthand before as I watched numbers roll in over a short period of time. Its like a flavor of the moment syndrome.
Just an FYI, the last time I voted, the score was 8.54. Now, it is 8.38. A .16 drop so I'm curious on the post of the raters who put their ratings on the game recently so I looked up their profile.
1. Meerkat. His first post since creating the account back in 2007 and he wasted it. Played only the beta.
2. Graylen. Played one hour of the game during beta before quitting.
3. ZigZags. He has posted more than the other two so I digged further. Turns out he is expecting PvP to be open in all areas (possibly ganking lower levels), and negative post about other games in general except for WoW and except for one post regarding GW1 (picked sample posts).
TL;DR User ratings are very random. Play the game to actually get a feel of the game.

Until the first adventure zone hits Meerkat's opinion is valid as the beta is pretty much the retail version, your opinion on his opinion is irrelevant.
Graylen could be discounted though no reason why he played only an hour? Compatibility issues? Dislike of combat? nothing?
Zigzags you assume means open world pvp = ganking lower levels which is quaint. No mention if he did or did not play the game... interesting.
I have a question. Who is winning the Super Bowl this coming year? People always trying to predict things when they have no clue.
Anyways. I guess I better cancel my sub. This game is doomed.
Too much double standards going on in this topic. If ESO had top scores on sites like mmorpg.com or metacritic. People would be holding those scores to prove their point.
But ofcourse scores are only manipulated and are nothing but scores by trolls.. if they are not on top. Such is the logic of these forums.
Positive scores = people with integrity and fair.
Negative = trolls and not paid enough.
There i summed up the whole topic.
The same ofc goes to fanboys giving 10 to every aspect of the game, or even those review "experts" who gives 9/10 in every new AAA tittle.
I for example say for myself i don't like ESO. I don't like it because of its combat, skill animations and character movement. The PvP content also its not of my taste and for PvE i like WoW, Rift etc style Raiding. That's all.
I m not saying i don't like it because its a 1/10 game. Ofc it isn't, as most of the games are also not. It has its pros and cons. The problem is that ESO pros are not what i m looking in a mmo.
On the other side i prefer Wildstar. Not because its a 10/10 game, but because its pros are what i m seeking to find in a mmo. In an overall comparison it may be even worse than ESO but again i don't care, as long its pros are closer to my tastes.
This ofc applies to every game comparison and not only to WS vs ESO.
So imo, reviews & numbers either from trolls / fanboys or review "experts" are just pointless.
Btw i dont feel the need to read a review to judge a game. i m old enough and playing mmo's more than 15 years, in order to be either excited or disappointed by a third person opinion. Its like music. When i hear something and sounds great in my ears, i don't care about the singer, the genre or others opinion. I just like it
Umm he never said anything about those who cared. You are reading what isn't even there. But he is right lets not make claims on behalf of what ESO fans may or many not think because we don't know. Because you certainly don't speak for me and yes i did vote for ESO on this site and i gave it 8.0. So there ESO fans do care to vote.
I did not go into detail, but to argue some of your points and to answer some, here are their posts:
Expecting the trailer to be the game and you're going to tell me he's expecting the end game content?
The first post regarding ESO I see on his page and I did not dig further.
He did play the game so I did not mention it. I'm not going to dig all the other sample posts as I've forgotten what page they are.
