SWL combat is like a gutted fish compared to what it was in TSW. Now it's the same old faceroll the keyboard and win every time regardless bs that I despise in almost every other mmo out there. But... in SWL General chat there is a constant stream of players proclaiming how much better the new combat is and how much more they like it. As a company that has to make money to stay in business what the hell can they do...
Yes, the majority of players want easy and fast entertainment. Aoc is really a niche game. I havent seen any quality game made in the past few years. Also. The current player base want everythibg for for free. Since nothing is free in this game you get either crap or ptw ****..
