Hey! Stop dissing the skillbar gameplay. I like it a lot better than grinding thank you! And so do a lot of pvpers. It equals things out, I don't like the "balancing" but thats another story. I remember how excited you were when the skill rings came out, something different. If you want a couple skills go play some dumb game bucko.
I agree though, they seem to have forgotten the classics of all time. Such as Tetris, Solitaire, and the Legend of Zelda was kind of the ultimate in early rpgs. It still is, although all it does is repeat itself with slightly better graphics and a somewhat new area.
However, they are just one man's opinion. Although I don't like his guild wars review: "I put this game above World of Warcraft for one reason. I don't have to pay to play online. Simple as that. The characters are great and the graphics are phenomenal if you have a computer that can handle it." Guild Wars was created so you don't have to have a superb computer, I wonder if he knows about the little dials that flip settings around?
