mmorpg's review

[Delsus]

Well, no. I did see a few open insults on your side. Maybe it's a matter of language barrier (you don't seem a native english speaker to me), but if I were you I'd chose your wording a tad more carefully next time.

I am English and if I was insulting people I would have said what I said in an email which is "is Blizzard lining your pockets nicely?" What I said was directed at the website in that case you is the collective noun for the website not an individual

Indeed and that can be considered unconstructive conduct, as it doesn't really add to the conversation. Nor does it make the arguement any stronger.

You can point out suspicions all you want but when you start accusing people / places of things you have no proof other than the easy speculation that it might be true, your not helping your case.

As much as I may agree with what you say it's still ground for being moderated. saying things like "No matter what is said it's 100% that your website take money for reviews" is something you can't back up and doesn't add to your case in any way / shape/ form other than being hillarious.

Not trying to argue with you, just saying that they are able to moderate you on that kind of stuff.

While they are able to moderate it looks to me as if they are hiding somthing for not replying to what I said, its basic psycology that if you are scared you will try to silence somone for getting too close to the mark. If they had nothing to hide human nature would have been to reply to my legit questions, then warn if i throw anymore accusations around they would ban me, that is how I would have moderated it rather than the scared instant ban hammer, indecating they have somthing to hide

maybe that's how you would have handled it, but if you were a moderator on one of my old sites you would see your moderator status removed for doing so.

"No matter what is said it's 100% that your website take money for reviews"

if they had responded to anything in your post when this statement was a direct attack on my site i would have not only given you a temp ban, but i would have given you a perma ban and removed whoever responded to you from moderator status. whether you intended it or not it was a direct insult to the site and they have no reason to respond to you at all. i can't believe a statement like this could have been made and not be meant as an insult though.

If you don't care about the score they gave then why does it matter if it was written a few days before a patch. What would you say if they re-review it in a week and bump the score from a 5.1 to a 5.5 or something?

or even worse what if they didn't like the stuff after the patch and moved it from a 5.1 to a 4.9. you would really see people on here rage over that lol.

With insults, it is unimportant what you believe to be insulting. What matters is what the people around you think it is. Basic knowledge.

Persecution and conspiracy mania are actually advanced topics.

1.18 which is a major patch and the first of the game changing patches

That remains to be seen. Up to now, it's just what SE claims it is.

If they were to re-review the game a few days after the patch, having navigated some of the dungeons, both r30 and r50 along with the rest of the new content, then they would save a little face. However it doesn't save the original review and it's lack of attention to facts from being just plain bad journalism.

[Cendres]

To note the reviewers on that site I believe are not actual writers or journalists, they are bloggers and people like you and me, I'm not even sure they get paid I would gander that they don't. Anyone here could apply to that site and possibly become a reviewer, that's true for quite a lot of online gaming sites and magazines.

[Kiote]

Lol, I just had to check back as to where that reviews comments went.. That Community manager must be having the worst day of his life..

[Kazimir]

Valid disagreements from everyone here aside, it's not like the reviewer is incorrect. I honestly wouldn't recommend the game to anyone either, at least right now. I don't honestly see the game being one I would consider recommend worthy for another year.

You're free to recommend or not any game to anyone you like, but the problem comes when a reviewer says something laughable as this: "That’s what Final Fantasy XIV feels like—an undeveloped pod person, and the probability is that it will eventually become little more than a shallow duplicate of a real game."

Yay for Ms. May's crystal ball.
First she reviews the game days before a major patch, calling confirmed information about future patches "rumor" (can't be more snarky and unprofessional lol), then she goes on telling that the game will probably never get better? And she knows that how again?
That all without even playing it a decent amount of time of course.

I know quite a few sites, magazines and media outlets in which someone like this would get shown the door without a second thought.

why are you guys getting mad at a 5.1 score? if they gave the game a 9.0 would you be happy and agree with it?

People are not mad about the score, they are mad at the opinionated comments and false information in it. That and the fact they released a new review 3 days before an update which is addressing half the negatives mentioned.
