MMORPG heavily biased towards GW2?

UgUgUg

The amount of news and features on Guild Wars 2 and HoT is huge yet ESO has released the Imperial City a week ago and there are no reviews, and even  before just a few little clippets of information. Do Zenimax not like doing Q&S or put out press releases or does MMORPG have a slant to GW2 and go looking particularly for information there.  What you guys put out on GW2 HoT each week is only really maybe 20% new and  the rest information we already know in some form unless I am missing something. The only reason I ask is because I really I am disgusted with Anets attitude to vet players of GW2 regards buying HoT at a AAA game price and I admit bitter about it as I did enjoy that game but will not pay that price. I 100% believe waiting later will just  be as expensive having to also pay for content that came out when I wasn't playing re how the LS Season 2 costs regarding that.  

ESO which I play now seems to me a game that should garner no less attention and deserves more respect because the content they are bringing out is at a pretty more respectful price point and can be bought with currency from a subscription that actually gives other rewards on top of that. I can play until I can afford to pay saving up the coins and not have to pay a premium price or saving up in advance with no benefit at the time regards GW2. I believe other gamers out there also feel their games don't get the same respect from MMORPG.

There's no slant, but tagging our managing editor @BillMurphy, in case he wants to elaborate. If there's something to report on or talk about in MMOs, you can be sure we're looking to be on it. We don't play favorites.

We've covered IC a LOT, before it launched, and both Christina and Ryan (our ESO writers) have access to the expansion. In fact, I'd be surprised if tomorrow's ESO column wasn't about IC. We write about ESO every week, on Wednesdays. GW2's column is biweekly, but ANet does tend to put out a lot more press releases.

Now what they are biased against are eastern MMOs. But most of that community is on mmosite.com

I am just here for trove at the moment. But GW2 seems a big part of it

Yea you never talk about the Mighty Quest for Epic Loot.  That game deserves its own staff or writers.

GW2 is coming out with a new expansion.

The reason I started frequenting this site years ago was specifically because it was focused on Western MMOs. I don't see that as a bad thing at all. A website can't cover everything without risked covering everything in a mediocre way.

I read this a lot on any forum I go.  "My fav MMO was not covered."  There are no rules saying YOU cannot cover your own mmo/game.  You have a signature you can edit here on these forums.  I think they don't allow animations (animated gifs) but otherwise you can put any pic or non offensive in there.  You can even link a blog or site that DOES cover your game.

Otherwise keep mentioning your game when you see posts like, "What do you like?"

I talked about GW2 for a long time before it ended up being central focus.   I was getting really tired of seeing that lady eye candy game angel war something.  Adds ran for it FOREVER here.  But w/e.

Just to add my two cents this site covers games that are dubiously MMO whilst Elder Scrolls is in fact a proper MMO. We are not talking an independendt game here we are talking a AAA played heavily in the West so I do expect to see good coverage.

I see several brands being talked about a lot,i don't know if any in particular are over zealous.

However some games deserve more coverage but receive very little.I don't have a problem really but as a business you need to cover base evenly to look like a NEWS/gaming coverage site and not a biased site towards advertisers or usual big spenders.

Also it is VERY noticeable that writers are not FREE writing,they are asked to write specific articles which would of course further the bias look of this site.That also entices poor articles because you want a writer to be really passionate about the game he is writing about and not just "winging it" to make a buck off it.
