We get it. You want it easy.

Yes it has been a game changer. I stopped playing the game due to Cataclysm. This is officially the "jump the shark" moment for WoW, and it should be clear by the content decisions they've made.

Well, one problem Turbine has is, when they reach Mordor, it's game over.

Nothing more to tell after that.

Do you even know what profit is? Not by the sound of your post.

You sure have selective reading "Kvan".

You say you "may" have to use a companion to do "some".

If you change that to "will" and "all" if your crafting, you can see how NPCs are being forced on you in what should be a social game.

Failure incoming. Sell EA stock now.

While news on something other than story is welcome... I am pretty much sickened at how much you are required to use companions in this game. It's an MMO and social interaction should be the preferred method of engaging and progressing.

So what about when MMOs start hitting consoles as the mainstream platform?

Wow... the author sure is misguided if he doesn't like to rely on others for gaming, yet he writes for an MMO site.

And what exactly is a "growing majority"? Because you certainly aren't the majority right now.

But you have to go back to the source... back to the origin.

It was BioWare who announced the game - and provided a full-on community site - more than 2.5, maybe 3 years before the the game will hit store shelves.

What did they think would happen? That's the ultimate hype right there... Our game is so enormous, we need 3 years to talk about it before you can play it. But then in the mean time, also release no game information. Just story.

Yea... Jef was pretty much spot on.

Totally generic. Blizzard removes anything that makes anything individually interesting.

Anyone could design this game now, It's so utterly predictable.
