Was their point so incomprehensible to you? They're saying the very basics of client interaction and use of slow animations with excessive delays feels aged in general. It's like taking a time machine back to 1998 trying to play some jank ass AOL games.

I did not read it that way.

Thanks for your always invaluable interpretation, but this is what was actually said "The portals in Rift Apart are revolutionary, you just enter it by running into it and it teleports you instantly, no load time, no white screen for a bit, instant teleport to a completely different level."

Followed by a comparison of an Alliance Raid.

I did not read this part "They're saying the very basics of client interaction and use of slow animations with excessive delays feels aged in general."

Your interpretation might be valid. My own interpretation, based on what was written, was as valid.
