This. I like it when people have there issues about this game and the fact they want to see improvement. But let's be honest, it's a beta, they want you to critisize the game.
ANd I am wondering if you have put your findings about the game on the forum, I played both betas and I felt they are actually listening to the players.

ANd about Overdose and Hydra, you guys are underlining the fact that GW almost demands teamwork. GW is not waiting on pesky 14yo kids that play solo, it's waiting on the players that team up and smash those kids in the face!


Beta != Alpha
Beta just means you are testing shit that 97% is going to be in the live game.
Beta isn't for changing game mechanics
Beta is for fixing minor bugs and shit that would effect the every day player.

Name me one MMO that launched perfectly balanced without any major changes to how the game worked.

I can't name a single mmo that made major changes by the end of beta - before launch. Which is what your post implies.
Could there be major changes? Sure, but not for another half a year after release if not more.

It just has a different audience. Which is sad, because honestly the game is so much better than those 2.

yes but their target audience is very small. you have to realize people on jsp/hardcore gamers make up a very small percent of the gaming community. People who like sparkle ponies/being able to faceroll content/their hand held through everything are 95% of the people that play games now days, kinda sucks.

A million application for the beta does seem very small...

So you couldn't call these major changes?

Adding 2 or 3 new pvp maps.
Adding the other 2 races
Optimizing the game to use the GPU*
Reworking how skills/traits work completely
A whole assortment of bugs gamebreaking and exploiting?
