Re: Warhammer vs All

It's simple: all they had to was make a choice. A choice between PvE and PvP. They stubbornly held onto the premise that you can have both in the same game to the same effect. Reality: you can't. You can have BGs and the like as an added mode when the going gets rough/boring. And so it is in the most MMOs:
WoW: PvE + BGs
LoTR:O pure PvE
SWTOR: PvE + WZs
Rift: PvE + BGs(they wanted sth like RvR but gave up on that idea-a smart move if I ever saw one)
EQ: PvE
AC: PvE
EvE: PvP + minor PvE
Darkfall: PvP + minor PvE
AoC: balanced PvE/PvP ratio, but still a slight PvP lead(yet another fail game-do notice the PvP/PvE ratio!)
WAR: PvE = PvP(GG!)
DAoC: PvP + minor PvE
You must make a choice. Where's the problem at? lol
EVERYONE knows that I am a fan of Warhammer PvE games(anything really). My criticism of Warhammer = PvP is equally vocal. Look, WARcraft/Star WARS/CONAN/LoTR and the like all have at least healthy PvE(AoC tried a no-no thing tho) even in spite of their IP. IP that is about war in one way or another. So, why would Warhammer be any more or less of a PvE game just because it's named WARhammer? If I ever heard a weak straw man argument...
