A Quick Explanation On My WAR Opinion

I plan on having my final "Week of WAR" write up tomorrow to summarize my weekend activities and my final thoughts on the game.

First, I want to give somewhat of a disclaimer that I will probably elaborate more on tomorrow. After chatting with some people about my posts this week, some thought I was being extremely critical and unfair to the game. A few said things like "You're playing the game wrong", "Tier 1 is not that fun, the good stuff is in the upper tiers", and "Yeah, this game probably is not fun if you're not with a group of people or in a guild".

No offense, but most of those sound like excuses for shoddy gameplay.

When I approached WAR this week, I pushed from my mind most the stuff I had read over the past few months about the game and the hype since pre-beta. I tried to come to the game as a brand new player without too many preconceived notions of what it was supposed to be. My opinions over the past week have been based on what I would think coming to the game as a solo player for a seven day trial.

Anyway, I will elaborate more tomorrow with my final thoughts and if I plan to pick up the game.
