Why can't a game being released in 2011/2012 be nearly on par with a game out for 7-8years? Everything that makes WoW a great game is public knowledge, you can fill in the blanks as to what makes it a great game ie: UI customization MOD's and so forth....
All those aspects should be shipped at launch for release in whatever game being released now or in the near future. This nonsense of a barebones game being sold with future Xpansions and free DLC is Bs, it's only done because of the acceptance/allowance from the buyer's/fans who settle.
With that being said there is a large portion of MMO(Massive Multiplayer Online)gamers who can see this "Themepark" game as a 1 player-game throw away....lol atm it's like I'm playing Mass Effect...with a Lightsaber weapon bonus.
Too bad as the potential for a great MMO is lost on us as well as BioWare.
