Seriously, why is there so much talk about WoW by the Devs, the people who play this game, and the people who tried it and don't like it. I, for one, don't buy into all the WoW hate. I can't tell you how many negative reviews I've read about this game that the only reason why people think it's bad is because it's a "WoW clone". For one thing, I fail to see how following the mold of the single most successful MMO in the history of MMO's is a bad thing. That's like saying that Kobe Bryant is a bad basketball player because he is compared to Michael Jordan, it doesn't make any sense.
But this is not WoW, this is Rift. Instead of focusing on how Rift compairs to WoW, why don't we focus on Rift. Is the game perfect? No, but neither is any other MMO. I just think that too many people are wanting a perfect product, and I think that is asking way too much. I think that if more people would just allow themselvs to be entertained by this (or any other for that matter) game instead of just trying to point out everything that is "wrong" with it, things would be a lot better.
