I figure there have been enough threads on why this game is going to flop.  According to all that I have read the game should go f2p three weeks ago and all servers should have been turned off yesterday for good.  Since none of that has happened yet I thought I would start a thread on why the game can do well.  Here are a few points from me, pleas feel free to list more.  Oh yeah, already put the flame proof suit on that was handed out with my sub.
 
1) The game has not tried to be for everyone.  It has many ways to be played by a variety of people, but it just is what it is.  It is harder than many and that is ok.
 
2) Casuals can play it.  Maybe not get all the great big shiny things but we can.  Heck, my toon is still only lvl 28 and I have been playing since day 1.  Ok, I may be a bit too casual lol.
 
3) It is just Cupcaking fun!

Hey Folks, 
 
As mentioned by the OP, there are already threads where you can vent your frustrations with the game, lets try to keep this one on topic please. 
 
Thank you

forgot one :P
 
4) broken things are getting fixed.  Maybe not what people feel should be fixed first but they are getting fixed.  It can't be easy fixing every bug and it may take some time, but it is getting fixed.

This was how TBC WoW looked like(with attunement and all) .. it was kinda u know alot easier then current WS which is why they need to relise like blizz did with raid attunements being a stop for guild recruitments

the three biggest things people are bitching about are bugs, attuement and the lack of things to do. 
 
One is fixable, two can be reworked and three, I really don't get this one
 
If people really go through the story, ready every thing .. GO OUT and help people on top of quest, dungeons, adventures theres lots to do. Lets not forget as well there tons of achivs to find things off the beaten path, all the challenges to do, titles to collect .. yada yada
 
Do all that and go nothing to do? Guess what, take a few off your dommie/exile and do the other side to hold you over till new shit. Theres another story/achivs/challenges to sink ya teeth in.
 
As for pros
 
Quests are fun
Lore is great
Tons of things to do
I able to lose myself in this mmo vs others I have played
 
To name a few off the top of my head

			I finally made it to level 50 on the 13th (played from the start), and I only saw a few minor issues along the way. I agree that there are still many issues to be fixed, but I'm seeing steady progress from the devs. The good far outweighs the bad at this point (looking at the entire game), so I'm still confident that Wildstar will thrive.

			Challenges? Am I the only one? I am eagerly waiting for them to create the following achievement: "Challenge Accepted!: earn Gold on 1000 Challenges throughout Nexus. Title: Challenger". I just love obstacle course challenges (like "Might As Well Jump!" in The Widowmaker or "Just Keep Swinging" in Bio-dome 4).Player housing is also fantastic. They could take customization to the extreme (modify the ground, the music, add NPCs, etc.)The lore is quite fun to collect but the Galactic Archive is, at best, nebulous when it comes to the location of the entries. Having to be a scientist to unlock many of those entries is also frustrating. Maybe make the Galactic Archive account-wide?

			It will succeed because it's a fun game with a lot to do for a lot of people.

No it's not.
Human just think it is.

			Uhm, hrm, *ponders*.  Let me think... *crickets chirping* *tumble-weeds blowing about*  Dang, I got nothing... *scratches head* ...the housing system is kind of cute (even though isolated and kind of anti-social in a way)?  *shrugs* :P

Honestly, people will always find something to complain about in anything, not just games. If we're going to be referencing wow (like it seems is being done in almost every thread), when I played, someone always complained about something. Oh something was fixed? Well then I guess I'll complain about this other thing then!
 
Wildstar so far has been the most fun I've had in a MMO in a long time! I'm almost 50 (simply because I barely get an hour or two to play a day, sometimes no time at all - and also because I'm leveling an alt with a friend at the same time) and I'm really enjoying the progress. Personally I haven't encountered MANY bugs, but the ones I did see did not hinder my leveling process.
 
This game not only HAS potential, but it is already big! I don't care that none of my guildies from previous games play this. I was able to convert my one main friend who started playing MMOs with me originally, and that's all I need. I will continue playing this until I get burned out (which is not happening anytime soon) or until some major changes happen that I don't agree with (doubt it).
 
I visit the forums daily (because work is boring) and while I don't participate in a lot of discussions I can see that for the most part the community consists of great people who really care and want this game to succeed, so don't pay too much attention to all the nay-sayers, they can have their opinions, but if you like the game, just continue playing and supporting the devs!
 
I believe the game IS succeeding and will continue to do so! This is just the beginning and I feel great things are coming.
 
Love this game!

came to this topic expecting an OP that didnt even bother to counter the negative opinions with facts of his own and instead used silly strawmans to dismiss them, and then proceed to make naive claims about why this subpar product, that is doing poorly by any known metrics, will be a future success
 
expectatives fulfilled

			The Good thing about WildStar is it's clear that you aren't playing WoW. The bad thing about WildStar is it's clear that you aren't playing WoW. :wacko:

Hey everyone,
 
Since this is really a thread about other threads, I'm going to go ahead and close it. These forums do exist for discussing all things related to the game of WildStar, but posting about other posts/posters really doesn't encourage good discussion or give us any real usable feedback. If you have something specific that is game related you'd like to discuss, we'd encourage you to start a thread about that topic in the appropriate forum area.
 
Thanks,Team WildStar
