This is where you implied that I've said that GW2 might actually be worse in this regard. Don't put words in my mouth.CriticKitten said:But the claim that GW2 is equally difficult or even more difficult to level up in than WoW...
Like I said, a single quest in WoW isn't comparable to a single event in GW2.CriticKitten said:Solid figures. Better than I expected. But still don't match up with the specifications I gave. A quest in WoW would need to award over 320k XP for players to level at an equal rate in GW2 and WoW, and we're clearly not dealing with that situation.
What formulas are those? Because they're wrong. At level 84, the formula for experience gained from a level 85 mob is (85 * 5 + 1878) * (1 + 0.05 * (85 - 84) = 2418.5, and again, the casual gamer will double that. More if they're wearing heirlooms or other xp bonuses. Oh, and if you happen to stumble upon a chest or a rare mob, that's a quest's worth of experience right there.CriticKitten said:Various wiki formulas seemed to suggest to me that WoW mobs at that level are 1k XP per kill
Fair enough. I'll admit that my experience with GW2 is probably about as limited as yours is with WoW. I gave up after level 80, but I do have friends still playing, and I'm basing a lot of this on their experiences.CriticKitten said:Furthermore, you've underestimated the skill point challenges.
Of course not. Words, you, my mouth, again! WoW is much more top heavy, and I've already said this. That's not "proof" that WoW is "grindier" than GW2.CriticKitten said:It's perfectly fine if you don't personally FEEL as if you're grinding in either game, but that doesn't mean that they both have identical leveling curves. They clearly do not.
Well, you know what? Now I'm starting to think they're completely reasonable. Wanna fight about it?CriticKitten said:That much we can agree on. I have seen the requirements for legendary weapons. They're kind of absurd. >_>
Yeah, I'm done with you. You can compare apples to oranges all you want, but it doesn't make your math right.CriticKitten said:Snip
Mostly because people go to other MMO's with the same mindset, which is what killed TOR. "Oh, this game in made by bioware, has an amazing story and 50 gigs of voice acting? We need to rush to 50 ASAP and start raiding!", and the same reason some people are getting mad at guild wars 2, because they want to get to 80 and do dungeons while the actual fun in GW2 PvE comes from exploring and doing world bosses.aguspal said:Why do people want to kill WOW?
Good god, just leave the freaking game alone! Do you know theres people that actually might like the game right?
Oh, silly goose. You can take your so-called "evidence," put it in your pipe and smoke it. I'm not inclined to prove anything, as that would actually be quite a bit of work unlike this 2 > 1 shit you keep spewing as "proof." Keep It Simple, Stupid doesn't apply here. Too many variables, more than you can count apparently. But believe what you will, I could not care less.CriticKitten said:Snip

your point? You blew up my city!Capitano Segnaposto said:Alliance? You blew up my ship!
Wait when you get attacked it's the whole faction? But when you attack them it's just some radical? . . . Events in the middle east are starting to make much more sense to me.Capitano Segnaposto said:Nuh-uh. That was Garrosh. I didn't even participate! I was in Silithus at the time! Stupid Nozdormu.
