I haven't read all the posts in this thread because I expect the same arguments have been re-hashed, so I'm only posting from my POV having played four different MMORPGs for a significant amount of...

Well, except I wonder if there will be a lot more players complaining about the slow leveling rate. Rift has a level 60 cap and gives 76 tree points, so you get 1-2 points to spend every level; the...

Indeed, old WoW-style trees by nature don't give flexibility and customization*--the entire point is role specialization in groups. The only positive thing I see about that pic is that it appears to...

Which is exactly why Rift's version of optional mentoring is about perfect.

The only times mentoring is required in Rift is if you join an "adventure" (some sort of PUGing thing and you're...

(1) I'm closer to this perspective. Raiding/MP content is irrelevant to me (my LotRO socializing was primarily in chat with a couple friends and /advice and the AH). But Turbine's entire business...

As already been put forth, if there are current cookie-cutter builds, you're going to see them more in particular content anyway, and the real issue there is about the actual traits and set bonuses...

Besides that your posts are very difficult to read (if English isn't your first language, then fine), the problem with your thinking is that you're not looking at the infrastructure separate from...

The problem with "being patient" and waiting until end of year to even see what WB-Turbine had cooked up is that it's really impossible to make any worthwhile changes at that point, and we're talking...

Alright, let's review. Pictures are better.

I managed to log in once after U11 and took a screenshot of my mounted combat trees to illustrate the point of how NOT to design trees, if player choice...

I'm curious, and I haven't played for a while nor patched to U11 yet (and probably won't until ALL the hotfixes are released). As a premium player who dropped from VIP originally, that means I had...

You do realize that updates from the company has nothing to do with actual player experience, right?

Mounted combat is LOL.

I read user reviews for nearly everything I buy, and am smart enough...

I completely forgot about this forum. Been reading about the requisite Slot Machine "hobbit presents" interface upon daily login or however that works instead (unless they change something, but given...

Of course there's a business relationship, but the onus of improving product still rests on the seller after constituent complaints.

You're missing the big picture that when players enjoy the...

Form World of Warcraft, the original Tauren (race) druid class shapeshifted cat form. Universally agreed to be a most ugly thing (mainly because the basic pose had the animal's jaw hanging open,...

Add some horns and--

Bet a bunch of people recognize that. :p

Wow, a netbook. Erm. :cool:

Poorly executed joke, though... :p

Failing a quest (title) isn't the same as losing the game (graphic) by a long shot.

You.... can't really lose an MMO as long as you're enjoying yourself,...

It's the difference between educated, smart consumerism (to a point, obviously one cannot really know the product/service until the exchange) and not. As stated before.

I don't know who you're talking to, but as for my POV (I haven't logged into the game in weeks), you miss the point.

This is about the difference between PRE-purchase and waiting for the product...

This is the wrong attitude. You're picking on playstyle preferences and not the basic economic decision. There are many game reasons one would choose not to pre-order, and the lack of instance...

I'll call into question the entire "innovative" claim, but that notwithstanding, I don't play console games so your comparison is irrelevant to me. I'm not sure I understand your "six years" comment...

Okay, we finally get to the crux of the matter. Completism. :)

Well. I understand content completism; it's one of the biggest reasons why the XP disabler (or something similar) had been requested...

You didn't try to explain precisely why you think it's unnecessary, frustrating, and useless.

I actually think the quest mechanic increases replayability on alts, which is a good thing. This is...

This is the wrong attitude, IMO. You're indirectly placing blame on the players. It's not the players' job to propose ideas for WB-Turbine to monetize; it's WB-Turbine's job to create product and...

Blizzard had substantially changed WoW's talent trees in Pandaria, but I don't know how the numbers are there (haven't been paying attention). If a bunch of subscription cancellations happened due to...
