    To be fair you made a irrelevant drop seem like a huge deal.  Again, grasping at the straws.

    No. Go back and read it. You made a horrible argument about why it went down and I explained to you why it was horrible. If anything, you tried to make an irrelevant drop seem like there was some reason behind it and I explained to you why your reasoning was absurd.

    ESO had a drop in favorability amongst MMORPG.com.  Can we agree there?

    No actually you went on to explain why a drop just after release is bad.  If you are forgetting this let me know, I can dig up your exact quote.

    Not exactly, it was only among the 30 people that voted due to a Reddit post.

    I didn't say it was bad. I said that other AAA titles didn't have a drop this soon after release. It could be an indicator that yes, there are actually people out there that are disappointed with this game. Do you think that there are not people that are disappointed with the game that are voting the game lower?

    So you tried to make a big deal out of a statistically insignificant difference?

    No...because you act like any other game had a different drop.

    Jesus. No, I tried to explain to you why your WoW and LoL analogy was horrible.

    It is nice to see the backpeddling in terms of the importance of the score now.

    Wtf? Are you ok? I rarely even mentioned the score. Actually, I've even said the following:

     

    These ratings don't even reflect anything for people that like the game or don't. Not only that, but it's in the top 4, which is an excellent place to be in my book. The rating is not going to change how the game does. The rating isn't going to affect sales.

     

    I mean, this is really getting ridiculous. It must bother you so much that you were wrong on the internet that it is just not possible to let it go. Let it go, man. Let it go.

    You said that after you probably realize how irrelevant the whole argument was.  Basically a backpeddle, nothing wrong with that, I actually applaud it.

    I bought guild wars 2 exclusively because it was at the top spot on mmorpg.com. proof that the rating does affect sales.

    TSW was one of the few MMOs that didn't sell a million box copies.  It wasn't so lucky.

    My ultimate point is, even if it went to 9.5 or 8.0, it means nothing.  Reviews in general mean nothing.  Warhammer Online was one of the highest rated MMORPGs based on Metacritic and it is shutdown.  Making an argument over something as trivial as this actually makes ESO look good and the people that hate on it look bad.

    There are actual legitimate issues with the game you guys can talk about.  But this is just grasping at the straws.

    Then why did you make an argument about why it went down?

     

    Looks to me like you are the one that did some massive backpeddling.

    To hammer the point at how trivial it was, seems like most of you got the point thankfully.

    The fact that you now agree that the change of 0.06 means nothing, means you started agreeing with me.  So you might want to look up what backpeddling means.

  • prowesssprowesss Member Posts: 69
    I find the player ratings on mmorpg.com to be an extremely valid evaluation of the game's success.. you have to be a relatively long standing and active member of the site to place a review.. unlike metacritic which is susceptible to heavy manipulation.. this site's much less susceptible to trolling and manipulation.

    That is somewhat hard to believe considering WoW is not even in the top 50.

    What?  The fact that people are trying to make a difference of 0.06 actually matter?
