Lol a deluded view that is completely validated by a simple scan read of your posting history....

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
not my fault if people read to much into posts also as for "doing it wrong" ill give you another example.. I'm play dishornored right now.. it's a FPS shooter/stealth hybrid type game.. you can play either way.. but if you play straight CoD style run in a kill stuff as fast as possible it's pretty boring IMHO.. but if you play with the abilities and play it as a stealthy game it's freaking amazing... how you play can make a huge difference in a game
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
Do try to at least answer the point....
Once again, the poster was highlighting the fact that you as a GW2 fanboy/girl think that anyone who disagrees with your opinion on the game is wrong, just dismissing the content or has somehow misunderstood what the game is about....
Your post history makes this an irrefutable fact however whenever anyone calls you out on it you simply ignore them. Its like you are simply dismissing the content of their post or just do not understand what the post is about lol

read my edit on the last post.. and in red is just absurd and ridiculous

Yes but you take that rationale out of context and use it to defend GW2 ad nauseam.
I say GW2 has the worst graphics Ive ever seen and your answer is still "Your playing it wrong..." lol....
How about the players that have the same play style as yourself and STILL think GW2 is JUST a terrible game? What are they doing wrong? How are they not understanding what the game is about?

No, he doesn't. A paradigm shift is something that changes society. It's on a broad scale. The Internet as a form of communication. Air travel over ocean travel. The Auto from the horse and carriage. The Cell Phone. These are examples of Paradigm Shifts. GW2 would have needed to change the way the entire world percieves and plays video games.
And to the previous poster, I don't need to waste my time proving to you that I play. We had this arguement before when you accused my of not knowing what I'm talking about since I don't play. You were wrong then and you are wrong now. I own the game and still log in. I've even bought gems. I frankly could care less if you believe me or not.

then they simply don't like it.. which is fine... if they want to discuss it i'm happy to discuss what I feel and why.. simple as that..
wtf are you talking about with the graphics sentance?
how am I taking that out of context? a game presents you with multiple ways to play i enjoy one way to play and find it the most fun.. i will try to get others to try it that way and maybe see what they were missing if they still don't like it then fine you don't like it..

Unfortunately I do think GW2 was a paradigm shift. Because it had success as B2P I think it was the last straw for the sub model. I prefer the sub model because when games rely on income from cash shops you just get nickel and dimed.
U! No U! Totally U!
No one is ever the villain, from his own POV.
But we've all got to prove we're right, the get those valuable forum points (redeemable for cash and prizes).
If gamers (at least our present sampling) have any one single factor in common, it may be that they're all habitual, almost instinctive right-fighters.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
B2P success happened well before. And besides, P2P has been on its way out for quite some time (notice all the F2P titles?)
Then you do not know what a Paradigm Shift really is.
I think it's an appropriate time for you to step back for a moment, and remember that this "right" you have to share your opinion on the game is the same right that someone else has to gush over it. They are stating how they feel about the game and you're feeling compelled to correct them. You have absolutely no idea on what their perception is, yet you feel you already know that it's wrong.
Take for example the fact that resource nodes give resources to each player rather than having to compete over resource. This may not be a groundbreaking change for you, but it could be the most important facet to a game possible for someone else. Maybe that person spent countless hours running around trying to find resources that were always taken because the game had a bot problem at the time. Maybe to them, it's all about the gathering. Their opinion is valid.
Or what about people like myself that want to just walk out into a world and take part. No quests, no indicators, no clutter just scripted dynamic sequences that have multiple outcomes dependant on player participation. To me, this is a giant leap in themepark design. This is the first step towards the game I want to play. This is evolutionary because it's like someone in the development team is looking into my head and trying to make the game I envision. Is my opinion not valid? Do you need to correct me on what I want?
Fanboi's have a terrible problem with not being able to accept that people don't like their game. They have to correct every person that speaks any misinformation and police the forums for threads and posts that are contrary to their opinion. Would you say that "haters" are the opposite end of that spectrum?
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
Simple. Its not the One True Game(tm) that many people hyped themselves into believing it would be. Not to mention that while it is a good game (all things considered) its combat system isn't one of its best points. I played warrior up to 60, and then went back to the land of the Panda. Its just not my type of game. But many people obviously enjoy it.
But why bother defending the game? A good game needs no defense. It stands on its merits.
Nope, it was condescendingly insulting. One of the worst posts and indicative of the level of maturity here.
GG? No one does.
It's a recent invention as an advertising tagline. It means about as much as those "legendary craftsmen of old world Italy" that used to be so important on a certain brand of faucets (made in china).
Sorry, 1962 isn't all that recent, I guess. At least that's what the younger gamers tell me

Gaming companies don't seem that original, After GW2 sold millions of copies, instead of looking at the fact GW2 made an effort to be original (Whether you like it or not) and caught the imagination of the gaming community. They are just going to say, "It must be the business model"
B2P will be the next "There's gold in the hills" MMO rush. Not making better games, just thinking if we go B2P we will have success like GW2.
I was using that word because someone else does, accusing me of not knowing what that phrase means is like telling someone on a news channel that a direct quote from an interview isn't what they think it means. It's as plain as the freckles on a redhead's cheek.
It's funny that I'm being called the 6th grader when all I've done is point out how childish the posts about this game have been since even before this game was launched and pointing out how only on these forums and nowhere else these posts are coming out of the woodwork. Wouldn't you agree (speaking to the rest) that it's very odd that posts like these are commonplace but are found nowhere else (accept the occasional blog post by people who want to be contraversial just to drum up some site traffic.) B2P is a paradigm shift from the endless norm of a subscription even with Freemium that forces you to subscribe anyway. if more the 3 million people played (and i'm guessing because i haven't seen the total since the first week report) i would consider that a shift.
I just point out what's obvious I mean, seriously if you claim the combats the same, the questings the same, the environments the same, the rewards are the same, don't you think that eventually you're going to sound redundant in your claims especially since anyone who's actually playing can see there is no validation for such claims after a while? it becomes sortof obvious. What's childish is these claims keep being made after they've been disproven time and time again by footage and screenies.

I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. I really was just poking fun and I didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings. Thats why I put the EDIT in, so that people would realize I was just "funnin"
I guess this should be a lesson me and to you all. Forum banter is serious business. You do not know the emotional effects that some offhand comments might create. Please refrain from making any comments that are contrary to anyone elses especially in parody.

A paradigm shift is one that moves a world view from one point to another completely. ie from people believing the earth is flat to the earth is round.
GW2 has changed nothing, no other games are going B2P, dynamic events were already done by other games before, and it certainly hasn't caused a majority to agree that it is the way forward for new games.
Why thanks!
