Other MMO comparisons..

I always thought WoW was a pretty good game myself. (shrug)

But anyway, on the subject, why is it that people want to compare a new MMO to a highly polished MMO that has been out for more than a decade? The stupid, it's... it's just too much. People who do that sort of thing should have their breeding privileges forever revoked.

I agree it's not a fair comparison but I wouldn't say it's a stupid one. A new player who has never played an MMO before but decides to start will compare the games on the market. Those are the kind of players that any new MMO needs to win and WoW has the advantage of being a big brand name and having a decades worth of content, it's just a fact. All other MMOs have to somehow overcome that advantage when competing for new players.
