Are you guys really arguing about TOR on a WoW board? I just find that hilarious. lol
What I find hilarious is that someone would say JaconKin is oversimplifying anything at all.

Hell, I wouldn't know one way or the other since I don't play either game. It's just amusing to see people get so worked up about it. If someone enjoys a game, is there even a need to defend or justify liking it? Or not liking it for that matter?
I could give two craps about the defending or otherwise justifying my like or dislike for TOR. What I do care about is when people first call me a liar, but offer no proof to back up such statements, then also further try to discredit me or my positions, in this case just facts about the questing model of TOR, by using Ad Hominem Attacks that Poison the Well and try to turn the burden of proof from them by such tactics by trying to get me to defend myself against such attacks. Being aware of such tactics though is the best defense against them actually, and then showing that such tactics are being used.
As I said I was hammered by this board, in particular Spookysheap, by not providing evidence for a statement I made about Aion taking subs away from WoW. I actually left the board in shame for the most part my tail between my legs. I could have been upset or otherwise sit back and blame others for my mistake. Instead I used it as a learning experience to better myself and my posting habits as well as my overall analytical, argumentative, and writing skills and ability.
Notice, not once in any of my examples, did I bring up or mention Guild Wars 2. Korrigan did that through an ad hominem attack. Whenever I did bring up an issue in how I thought that Bioware wasted an opportunity in its on the rails questing, I used the example of one of its own game, Mass Effect, in how it could have offered a different experience while not sacrificing the overall plot points of each one of the Class Stories being presented.
It is well known that I am excited about Guild Wars 2 and that I will provide information about the game when it arises. My position and excitement for the game have reached legendary status figuring I will be mentioned now in
other threads. So be it, yet, when you begin to use that as a means of discrediting my position or the facts I am presenting and think that somehow you are harming me, I will turn that weapon you think is your weapon into my own weapon and such a tactic will back fire against me when it comes to debate.
BTW, my new Tactic for Guild Wars 2 is just to sit back, remain quiet, allow disinformation about the game to continue and eventually serve crow. Furthermore, if there is something I don't like about it, I will do similar analysis on it as I have done with TOR. Currently, all I can base my judgements on when it comes to Guild Wars 2 are the videos, reviews of other people who have played the game, some well respected MMO players such as Total Biscuit, some not so much, and the myriad of videos and other stuff out there about the game currently. Nothing I have seen as of yet is showing that Arena Net will not be able to deliver on its promises. Just like how Bioware was able to deliver on its promises of providing an interactive and intriguing story for MMO players. Yet, apparently being excited for an upcoming game is disallowed and makes you into a fanboi no matter what level of objective intelligence you have shown on matters, either currently or in the past, when it comes to discussion about games.

Looking Forward to Guild Wars 2 and serving crow.
