This game is going to fail spectacularly much like tor. However enjoy it until the mass exodus to gw2 begins. Shame though, the combat and visual style is great. Not quite sure why everyone insists on a half assed attempt at an mmo. Take customer service and features from wow, add adult visual style and combat from tera, voice acting from tor and profit? Alas apparently figuring out which features are desired is far too difficult for you average developer...
Seeing as how there is the same old issues being brought up, I felt I should make some definitive statements regarding the subject.
Anybody who is against parsers and meters is a sub-par performer that constantly gets removed from guilds or groups on account of them being a liability to a competent group, and preventing or hindering them from achieving their goals. FACT
TERA is being marketed as being skill based, FACT.
Every single skilled player is pro logs and parses, they are invaluable tools in aiding us to achieve our goals and weed out those that hinder it. Competitive gaming is exactly that which it implies, if you are unaware what the definition of COMPETITIVE is I suggest looking it up in a dictionary. If you attempt to market to the casuals I shall launch a LAWSUIT in regards to your blatant false advertisement.
WoW flourished because it catered to both, which in large part was due to LUA support and the numerous addons.
Nothing is preventing the rp and casual crowd from playing together, professional gamers have no desire to be inflicted with them as a liability.
Despite what some claim their feelings towards so called elitist players are, those very same elitist players are the vanguard and models for the casual players. It is the competitive gamers that make a game flourish and provide others with goals and achievements to strive for.
