@TheGarchompxd It's funny seeing angry fanboys seethe in their anger though.
I don't "barge" in anything. These comments are public, with the free option of replying to them.
Finally, common logic would dictate that since I am talking about design flaws and pitfalls, people would ask to learn more. But of course that would be too much to expect and all I get are ad hominems and more WoW hate... 🤣🤣🤣
Anyway, since you were first intelligent being to ask for elaboration, I will elaborate.
Ashes of Creation tries too much to build an immersive world where the social aspect of the MMO aspect is put on the front. PvP is at the core of this game design and it will be essentially forced upon you. It's a sandboxy MMO where the community makes its own content.
Now you might ask, "why is that a bad thing?". And I am going yyo answer.... For me? That's not a bad thing, that's the best thing you could ask for in an MMO. I, myself advocated for many a times for at least an optional sandbox mode in WoW forums (similar to how the optional wPvP mode, aka "Warmode" already exists).
However, the market has spoken and the majority of players like solo content and PvE over PvP.
An MMO which doesn't understand this simple cold and undeniable fact, can never "steal" WoW's playerbase and therefore it cannot be the "WoW killer" many haters here hope it to be. Best thing it can achieve is to stay alive among ESO, GW2 and others. Worst case scenario is that it will die after a few months. Just look at how bad New World has failed because it expected the players to create their own content with lacklustre PvE endgame during launch.
In short, a content heavy theme park MMO is more popular than a sandboxy one and WoW has taken the approach of trying to satisfy as many people as possible by having a theme park MMO with some sandbox enablement here and there. WoW is like "you want wPvP fam? I have it, instanced PvP? I have it, hardcore or casual PvE? I have those as well. RP? Here are some RPers in RP servers". And this is one of the many reasons it's been so successful but haters gonna hate without ever understanding why WoW is still No.1 after 20 years.
