Ok there might be some merit in what you say but… you cannot believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. Just because 2 people had an opinion about the game it does not mean that everyone else will.

From the videos I saw, the game does not look all that different to me. It seems to use the same mechanics as the old FFXIV. I am sure there are some differences, and a lot of the issues were corrected. But it seems like the same game, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. I would like to use an interface that I am somewhat familiar with, and most people probably would. So a completely different game wouldn’t be my idea of ARR.

Also, it seems that she was comparing GW2 to ARR, and that is very unfair. If at every turn, a reviewer is going to compare how ARR is different from GW2, then ARR never had a chance. The reviewer will give his/her biased opinion about certain game mechanics and how he/she feels it should work. That is a biased comparison and a biased review.

Sadly most people do not think critically, and are unable to see through the BS, or at least consider there might be some BS involved. So, debating this is an utter waste of time. All we can do is wait, and see if the game meets our expectations when it comes out.
