What I was saying is that they should make the VG that you like as tight as possible polish wise, bug wise, content wise, class balance wise, itemization wise etc, before talking about player run RTS element cities and other such. |
Fair enough. But some things are impossible (class balance? does any MMO actually have class balance? ) I guess I'd be happy with the group bugs fixed and more content. And that's coming in time.
Some things are just never going to be "fixed" -- people who do not form static groups early (whether through RL/OL or guild friends) are _always_ going to have trouble grouping no matter how good the LFG tool gets.
Class balance is always going to be an issue. Anytime you nerf class X, people start yelling that you now need to nerf class Y. I actually thought the balance they had pre-nerfing in beta 4 was the best -- yeah Disciples were overpowered but so was everyone else but Rogues. Instead of nerfing everyone they should have buffed Rogues and just made the 4 and 5 dot mobs a little tougher.
VG is never going to be as polished as WoW and I can't say I care at this point. Dealing with the rough edges doesn't put hair on my chest or make my e-peen grow but it also doesn't bother me that much anymore. Two people in my static group have a quest clickie that isn't working right now -- It'll get fixed in a patch or two in the meantime we all have a lot of other things we can do.
So I guess I think its fine to put stuff in even though some stuff isn't finished -- it'll forever be a work in progress which is okay. The alternative is WoW's 2 year wait for an expansion which sucked for a lot of different reason. Yeah WoW is as polished as any MMO will ever be (until the next Blizz MMO of course ;p) but 2 years for an expansion was a bit much.
