How many of you beta people that say the game sucks have gone beyond level 10? Level 20?
You can't judge a game on the first 15 levels, especially a grouping game on an underpopulated beta server. WoW beta was extremely popular because of two reasons:

The game was very polished (which vanguard isn't right now, we can all agree about that)
It was possible to meaningfully advance your character by soloing. I never grouped in WoW beta before level 15 or so but I was still playing every day because I knew that I could achieve stuff on my own and have fun. This is not the case with the Vanguard beta, from level 7 or 8 on if you don't have a group you are basically lost and can't do shit but grind. With the level curve as it is right now by level 9 you're ready to uninstall the game and free those 22 gigs of hard drive space because you need room for your porn, and most people do it: hence the empty beta server (well, that and the tech issues, Vanguard requires a good computer to look good at decent framerates, I won't deny that).

Now, granted, I haven't gotten above level 8 either (by the way, remove me from beta if that's NDA breaking, I don't particularly care I don't want to invest time in Vanguard, not while it's in beta anyway), but I'm not passing judgement because I realize that I absolutely do not have enough experience to talk about the game, be it to praise it or to criticize it. But most of you don't either, and don't get me started about the "I tried the game out at a friend's" or "I watched my friend play for 10 minutes" people. If that's all the experience you have with the game, kindly shut the fuck up.

I still haven't seen one well constructed post by someone who was in beta and reached a meaningful level telling us that Vanguard sucked and why. Please, by all means haters, prove me wrong, level 8 rogues in Brennan's Stead need not apply.

I've been on vacation, and still am, but when exactly more should I post? I don't think Vanguard "sucks," it's just simply not at the level of quality it should be at, and there are better alternatives out there at the moment. And as for how much time I've invested, probably about 30+ days played through my various characters.
