i am starting to get concerned.
a downgrade of a few metacritic score points, fair or not would be bad news for the game.
A few thousand players may well have already been lost from the million on account of this.
...and i am not one to just tell them to go away. I want them in the game.

It's really crucial this be fixed by main launch day.

Personally, if a large group of people who base their opinions on games on A. someone else B. a publicized group of people C. the internet, I don't want them to be part of the community I plan to be a part of.

I will be very happy if these problems persist, and a large group of people I don't like aren't in my life.

Anyone that needs a review to determine how an experience will be for them, doesn't deserve to play good games anyway.

Good on them if they decide not to play, we don't need WoW-like population to survive. We sure as well don't need mindless drones in our population to survive either. Can you imagine holding all of their hands? Browse the IGN forums someday, many of their users still ask questions that they could answer themselves, if they payed attention to the tutorial, or just read the instruction manual.

That might be but looking at the amount of money and time SE spend on rebuilding this game they kinda need that amount of players.

They know 50% of the first batch of players quit. This is the age of ADHD where people play things for 4 days and never touch it again. Pretty sure they'll somehow survive.

Sorry am I missing the issue here? less people? Good, they can stay out and go back to what ever IGN said is a good game.

This. IGN's followers are worse than the TotalBiscuit and Kripparian mongs, if none of them buy the game, all the better as far as I'm concerned.

Lmao GL with that one SE

The WhiteKnight denials have come full circle. They're now happy the game performing so badly, that people will justifiably write it off, which will make this great game even better.

If you guys actually spoke some of that nonsense out loud, you'd probably realize how insane it sounds. Calling this anything short of a cluster-fuck is disingenuous at best; and "Stage-1 Grief: Denial" at worst.

I, personally, am glad that the WhiteKnights are finally in the minority. Maybe we can can get SE to listen to the REAL feedback that's been coming since Phase2 now.

Hopefully IGN demands stream from an NA/EU server.

All these people that are like "Less players? Good!" or "Who cares about IGN?" are seriously missing the issue here. I love the mechanics of this game and it looks beautiful, but unless they have a successful launch this go around and get a lot of people hooked, there may not be a future for this game.

It's not only a game, this is a business. And part of making a successful business is making sure your product is sellable...and right now it's hard to sell it. I don't care about "no MMO has had an error free launch!" or "give it time!" I care about the here-and-now.
