Those people are getting paid for it, and know what they are talking about. even if they don't like a game, they still HAVE to point out the good points.
So who does decide what mmorpg is best. the crowd? the crowd picked WoW the proffesionals? the proffesionals picked WoW.

How about no one does. It's up to the each of us individually to decide which is the best for us. I don't want someone forcing a belief down my throat because they firmly stand for it, the same way I won't play a game just because someone else is shoving it down my throat how great it is. No other person or magazine is going to tell me what game is the best in my eyes. I like City of Heroes. I think it's a great game. Opinion. Not fact.

but thats an opinion. sure there are diffrent opinions, and you should always play the game YOU enjoy. but that doesn't take away there is a diffrence in quality.
but thats an oppinion. sure there are diffrent oppinnions, and you should always play the game YOU enjoy. but that doesn't take away there is a diffrence in quality.
But who can determine what is the best quality MMORPG? Each of us has different ideas of what makes a great MMORPG. Some of us will put this game over that because of PvP differences while others will say Game A is better than Game B because there is more graphical detail. It's all opinion.

The ones who determine what is the best mmorpg is the crowd along with PROFFESIONALS who know what they are talking about. they both have spoken, and the result is: World of Warcraft.

So if I become a journalist and play a lot of games I can tell everyone what game is the best? They may have experience in the gaming world but just because they're a 'professional' doesn't mean that their opinions suddenly become factual. lol

Originally posted by Gameloading but it DOES mean they know what they are talking about. they have experience and know how to look for the good parts and the bad parts of the game.
Is what they say 100% factual and written in stone? No. It isn't. You can't argue that no matter how many games they've played and how long they've been doing it, that when they give a game a 8 out of 10, that's their take on the experience they had.
It doesn't matter how widespread the opinion is that WoW is the best. You can't push the idea that it's a fact on someone who disagrees with that opinion. Just because 6 million people believe it, does not mean that I should conform and nod my head agreeingly.

Even if its not 100%, it still is the case with WoW. WoW does not only have the highest rating of close to every proffesional, it also has more players then all western mmo combined. no other MMO has highest rating + biggest amount of players. and THATs why WoW is the best mmorpg out there. sure there is a diffrence in oppinion. in fact, I'm also playing another game then WoW. but thats my oppinion, just because I like a diffrent mmo better then WoW does not take away WoW is still better.

"Even if it's not 100%...that's your opinion..."
Exactly my point mate! Saying that WoW is the best out there is nothing more than an opinion, which is something believed in an individual manner. So no one can say that it's the best honestly without that little asterisk that says "IMO".

I'm well aware of that. WoW is a popular game and believed by many to be the best. But it is not a fact that it is, which is what I'm trying to say, in response to those who claim it to be the word of God or something.
I think we should make WoW a religion. I mean if 6million people fallow it and it can't be wrong. It only seems to be the next logical step in progression.

I think its safe to claim that WoW being the best is considered a fact. It has the highest ratings given by people who know what they are talking about,the fact that it has the most players, people who pay 15$ a month, of all MMORPG's backs it up.
I see it this way. the proffesionals have given it the highest rating of all MMO's. the fact that the game has 6 million people playing it PROVES that those proffesionals were right.

I'm sure we'll see it as a listed religion in the next US Census.
Just give it up already, WoW has nothing on me and it never will. Get it? It's a game I will never play. If it was the best why am I not playing it now?

Because you don't like it, simple eh?
Yes, very simple; glad you finally understand. Some of us don't like WoW that much. For us, it isn't the best. It's that's simple.
6 million players, I read Lineage II has 14 million customers worldwide...
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

You read wrong, or your just making things up. max amount of players of Lineage 2 is 4 million, a long time ago.
I just read it in the June/July 2006 issue of Beckett Massive Online Gamer magazine.
The article says Lineage II is 2 years old. 14 million customers world wide, four expansions, 2.3 gigabytles of new content delivered to customers for free.

The blizzard people that made GW made battle.net. They had little or nothing to do with WoW or diablo like so many people say. The WoW people that left blizzard went on to hellgate london ( and one other I forget the name of )
The PvE is un-challenging and rapid exp gain is guaranteed.
The PvP is basicly a mini sub-game which again only gives rewards with no penalties.
So the OP is correct. WoW is all about fun .... especialy if your crap at games and want to be a l33t d00d without actually having to put in any effort.
WoW is to MMORPG's what Mills and Boon is to literature. Bland, easy to follow mediocrity for the masses.
Some people are just plain stupid... everyone who says that their MMORPG is the best out there are just one of them. It's a matter of opinion (like some people already said). Me for example played WoW for a while but then I left for DAoC (It has so much better PvP) but now I don't play anything at all (except some single-player games at my Xbox) Waiting for Age Of Conan and Roma Victor
