I really thought Guild Wars had it all when I learned of it. I went out and found all of the resources i could, and noted all the specs and rumours and whatnot. I ended up becoming a beta tester for it and everything.

Sadly, during gameplay I was very severely disappointed and walked away. I went back to try it a second time and what I considered to be very serious and obvious issues were not and apparently would not be addressed. This topic only remains for amusement’s sake, as a testament to my ability to waste huge amounts of time for nothing.

  • Note that I am bound by a beta tester’s NDA, so I cannot discuss the various things which went on during my time as a tester.
  • Followed by Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game)

The problem with the Mozilla of browsers is that decent functionality isn’t included out of the box. This is what drove me away from Windows and I don’t want to waste my life configuring things anymore.. so I can’t really stand this browser.
