MMO vet since muds, you know before there was any graphical interface.. and the same issues in beta are still in the gold release so how can people NOT complain? What MMO's have you played? Just so we can get a guess of your 'mmo experience'
I've Beta'd AC1, DaOC, EQ2, AC2, Aoc, SWOTR, DCUO, and now this title to name a few. heck my first 'mmo' was Baldurs Gate on Heat.net where you could house your own game and 4 other players can join, thats 13+ years ago. ..but I digress..
In alpha there were issues, on PS3 beta the same issues.
There is no social aspect at all, chat is crap, VIOP is crap... but wait the Defender of Trion will quickly point out.. 'that will be patched on the 15th!!
RIIIGHT!! just like the same fanboys and girls said 'it will be patched at launch!'
This isn't 1999 its 2013 MMO's aren't 'new' this is now a 20+ year industry that can't expect-using your phrase-"have experiences with mmo launches and rpg's in general" should expect more.
Sure I remember SWG release, Daoc release that was 11+ years ago! you know back when the fastest processors where single core 750 Mhz?
