    Don't you understand simply that anyone should be able to give his opinion? And no it will not spam forums. Have you ever had a statistic class at school to understand what is a representative list of voters ? never heard that in an election we say only the top whatever will vote otherwise it will create spam.

    And i do not agree with your non factual, non measured idea of vocal minority. Best proof is that it is probably my first post in a forul since many years.

    Anyhow this does not change the FACT that WAR is over rated because of COMMERCIAL reasons.

    Meh.  didn't want to post all of what I did.  decided not to.  Ignore this. lol

     So not being able to access your renown vendors and thus upgrade your gear isn't enough?

     

    No it's not... 

    Lets say I just bought my tier 2 stuff and I leave I see the other side attacking at the same time as I can join easy exp set battles.  There should be a reason for me to try to defend even after I got my vendor loot.

    Anything more then I can't buy my loot would be a better reason, change in the amount of renown I get based on number of keeps my side has, or how many/well equiped npc guards my side has, etc...

    Then keeps would have a point.

    
     

    Well if you ever paid attention to the bonuses you receive from controlling objectives and keeps, there's about a list of 4 or 5 different bonuses that you get for controlling the Tier that affect your leveling speed, your renown gain speed, the price you buy and sell things for, etc. etc.

    There's a huge incentive to control your zone, just no one ever hovers their mouse pointer of the zone control bar at the top right of their screen, so they never see the bonuses.

    All rating site are working on the same commercial model. So I do not trust "commercial medias" who all have a tendancy to biase the opinion in the direction of their interests.

    And Yes I think anyone should be able to give his opinion. You do not have a better opinion than someone else because yo have posted 100000 messages on a forum...

    You must not listen.  If ANYONE can leave their opinion people would spam it with thousands of 1's, so then even the user rating wouldn't be accurate.
     

    Also, mmorpg.com haven't even reviewed the game yet.  What you're seeing is the "User Rating."  If you check the user rating at metacritic it's 8.5.  USERS are saying the game deserves an 8.5+ not commercial websites.  (Though they're saying the same thing).

    Disinformation means false information.  What about the rating is false? 

    Are you saying people didn't actually rate the game 8.84?  Because if you thumb through the user comments on the ratings section they're predominantly positive.

    I am amazed to see such a discrepancy between the apparently very good WAR rating and the TRUE PLAYERS rather negative opinions in forums (not only mmorpg.com forum).

    I understood that commercial pressure and money/advertisement is the cause of false high game rating. A web site such as mmorpg.com will never have an interest in publishing a negative review on a good "ads" customer such as WAR.

    Another proof of disinformation ? I was unable to publish a rating for WAR on mmorpg.com because you have to be level 100... what bullshit, anyone, any player should be able to give a rating. That's the only way to reflect the TRUE opinion of people without manipulation and censorship.

    
     

    Replace TRUE PLAYERS with VOCAL MINORITY and there you have your answer.

    You should check out metacritic.  sitting at 88, with a user rating of 8.5.

    Check xfire.  Sitting at number 5 steadily.

    And if anyone, any player was able to give a rating, you'd have people create a thousand accounts to spam a rating at 1 or 10.  Trust me there are people that would do that.

    The majority of the TRUE PLAYERS are playing the game, not spouting nonsense on the forums. :p

    I dont' think you understand what "disinformation" means either.  You're basically calling user opinions of the game after playing it or hearing about it "disinformation."  So that means that every single review ever written about the game (there's like 15 at the moment) is "disinformation" according to you.

    When they knew dam well the servers wouldn't fill and many would remain empty.

    It's just going to get worse.

    
     

    I don't think it was a marketing ploy.  I think it was a "better safe than sorry" thing.
