    The first ever MMO infographic with a statistic that actually means something. By which I mean the Children's Miracle Network donation line, not the interesting but ultimately pointless number of people to die to pocket raptors.

    (I represent roughly 6.3k of those hours, btw).

    Respect - 218,000 years seems a lot! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do, I haven't played even half of that.

    No, they meant years. It's the combined total of all hours every player has spent. 

    (GW and GW2, btw, allow one to see their account age, character age, total hours played, and character hours played with the /age command).

    You know what really grinds my gears?

    When I was an active member of Gw2 community I constantly was on an uproar how flawed it is to have a game with Dx 9. And everytime some smartass developer would come and shut me down how Dx9 is not the issue. And how hard it would've been to implement an upgrade

    Bitch please, I'm a software engineer. You can't fool me. Dx 9 is a hot pile of garbage that hasn't been relevant for over a decade.

    And now they boast about Dx 11. Fucking hypocrites man. There's no point in getting upset by dumbass developers. They sing one song today and tomorrow they sing another .. whatever floats their boat. Damn clowns.

    Here's the thing, hard as it may be to believe, developers can change their minds sometimes...

    As long as they admit they were wrong, I'm fine with that.
