If you liked GW2, then you'll like HoT. If you didn't like Gw2, then HoT probably won't change that.
Is that a fair assessment?
no, HoT was aimed for the hardco…

Sandboxes are a niche sub genre in a niche genre, they are not dying, they just dont get released very often due to the limited market, for example although Ark is a sandbox, elite dangerous (single player/mmo hybrid), Xsyon etc. Supply and demand.
Themeparks are not dying they are more popular now with more choice that is high quality than any other time in the history of mmorpg. Incidentally sandboxes are not dying either - they are and allways have been a niche sub genre in a niche genre, s…

replace 'sub-only' with 'game with only 1 payment model available' Its 2015 not 2000, there is no excuse for the former , but to be fair even the worst offender WOW is turning its 500 million a year tanker before it sinks.
I bought the expansion a week ago, and I have to say its pretty damned polished and fun, and this is comming from an ESO fan in terms of graphics no other mmorpg even comes close, and is the only mmo in the last 5 years that has you stopping to si…

^^ the problem with Cata wasn't the difficulty, it was that ths game is obsesses with constant progression, difficult 5 mans slow progression, if you don't progress in wow (i.e increase stats) your a dead man walking.
" Time wasting is subjective. Difficulty is subjective. Tedium is subjective. "
Exactly this, If you consider something to be time wasting, don't do it and your time won't be wasted!
Put it the other way of the only people that do an activity …
The problem is 2-fold, players with expectations that don't match the game spec, and developers who design to reward constantly and to aim for every demographic known to man.

'bad' players are obnoxious, or arrogant, elitist, rude, impatient, are interested in publicly expressing negative opinions about other players abilities etc. In short, same as real life, an unskilled person eith the right attitude > a skilled a…
If you want to play games without progression don't play games that are designed for character progression. If you buy a game that offers a levelling experience don't complain that you get what you paid for- many people love the levelling experienc…
