"as complex as" and "the same" are two VERY different things.

Interesting that you insult my reading comprehension, yet you aren't even keeping up with the conversation.
Please stop. Just give it up, your comments aren't adding anything to the conversation. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees this

I did read the first page.

There are two things wrong with your thinking:

1) You're talking about the quantity of console ports as opposed to the quality of -
2) You're making false assumptions about the cause and effect of PC users buying console ports

no more complex means as complex as or less complex than

Can we all just agree it's a bad example of a console UI that needs improvement and move on?

You're right. I'm under the impression that the quantity of console ports has increased over time. As for the quality, it's hit and miss. More often than not, the visual fidelity of a game is held back by 7+ year old consoles. However, some developers do go the "extra mile" and create UI's that are more PC friendly.

I think you need to realize that if someone else's opinions differ from yours, it doesn't make them "wrong".

Yes. But that ruins the **********.

Because games aren't advertised as having crappy console port UIs. What I bought was an MMO created by Trion, who based on my previous experences with Rift, know exactly how to make a proper UI for the PC.

The most intolerable bit of course is the chat system. The rest is merely annoying in its layout. But since the interface does let us take advantage of our keyboard, its not so bad. But the Chat...ugh. It seems purposely designed to get people not to communicate with each other.

Only thing wrong with the interface is the chat system. Think most people are to used to playing either a fps or a mmorpg and expected something along the line of a mmorpg UI instead of a fps ui.
