Nadril - I can't believe you're being such a sheep. You're giving developers "get out of jail free" cards, and all it's saying to other developers is that it's ok to release total broken crap while people pay for you to try and fix it.

MMOs will never be "complete" at launch in terms of content, but there's ABSOLUTELY no reason that they can't be bug-free, at least the core game play systems. AoC didn't have (and still really doesn't) have economy tools... how is that not a problem? Stats not working... also no problem?

Come on man, take off the rose colored glasses unless you really do accept everything mediocre in your life.

Also you have selective memory of the WoW launch, or you weren't there for it. It was objectively MUCH more playable, bug free and filled with content than AoC at launch, by at least an order of magnitude.
