Hi im new in the game but im loving it. I recently foud that wildstar can be voted in a couple of categories in mmo readers choice awards but I couldnt find a post (maybe im bad looking for it) informing to players of this so I made this one.

I think you guys need to try to widespread the voice of your work a little bit more to get some love.
 
Sry for my english.

WildStar has a lot of work ahead before I could reliably support voting for it over other MMOs.
I love the game and it has a lot of heart and soul put into it, but of all those who worked on the game originally, more than half were fired due to massive layoffs after the initial launch last year.
What we have left is a skeleton crew trying to do the work of a studio 2x to 3x their current size and simultaneously combating NcKorea dictates from Korean suits that don't know how to MMO or business anywhere outside of Korea.
 
I feel bad for the Carbine Crew and I hope that things work out for them.  Getting more players into the game NOW will not do us much good; F2P has already proven that much.
We need several changes and bugfixes and QoL improvements to happen before this game is fully (finally) ready for prime-time and perhaps with a relaunch on Steam to really bring in the new players to enjoy it easier.

definetly will vote for wildstar. it has it's issues but what should i say?
i went through my other MMOs i played so far and it looks like this:WoW: 5 characters - highest one lv 23
Tera: 2 characters - highest lv 35
Rift: 3 Characters - highest lv 34 (had several approaches (different accounts) on getting a character... well... mid level btw)
Star Wars the old republic: 1 charachter lv 18 (before f2p release)
Allods Online: 2 characters - highest one lv 28 (only quit bc one mate ragequit due to their hilarous cash shop in open beta)
Guild Wars 1: one character lv 14
Guild Wars 2: never played bc GW1 sucked (at least for me)
Final Fantasy XiV: one character lv 14 (stopped bc wildstar release and 3 mates wanted me to start playing... had it's moment though... even in this state of early game)
several korean grindfests...
Wildstar: 2 characters, both lv 50 raid ready (one before f2p, the other one after f2p and actually raidin)
 
 
maybe i'm missing some major releases i played but well...  i guess you get the point: WS was the first and only MMO i enjoyed playing until endgame content and i want to continue although i played through all the issues they had from the beginning and well... stuff that's still existent... but what should i say? i love WS...
 
i hope it will continue to exist although i read first postings in MMO News sites that f2p propably didn't do the trick. In the end it would take probably another 10 years of MMO history until i find another game i enjoy as much as wildstar (counting from WoW release for that purpose. never played MMOs before WoW)

			Wild Star the only one on the list I've played so far.  I have no interest in Heroes of the Storm, but when Overwatch comes out. I'm going to have fun with that.	
----
			
I have played like only 3 titles there -Hots, Skyforge and ofcourse Wildstar
 
All three i have issues with lol
 
I am not particular interested in Mobas just did it for the pet, so no vote
 
Skyforge classes and game-play seems great, problem is balance and repetitive content, You remember you did that instance at 100 prestige oh well you have to do it till 60 k prestige and beyond as well XD
Yeah thats how much repetitive it can get lol, so again no vote
 
Wildstar well i don't think i have to explain it here, pvp is still a mess, no new pve stuff as well just waiting for xmas(probably will get more cash shop items TT)

I understand your points even if I wasnt playing from the start because a suffered them in other mmo but even then I think it deserves a vote if you want to give it a chance.
 
PD: I think you can vote every day but im not sure and it would help a lot if an administrator could post a message or something similar to inform people about the vote :).

I'm having trouble with the reliability of the voting when a game I've never heard of has 3-5 times as many votes as all others in the category
 
Maybe this is just an awesome overseas game with a lot of fans willing to come to a NA site and vote, but I smell a rat.

It's some super hyped upcoming mmo, People are saying it's going to be the next big one. Like they were with Wildstar at launch
----
			Definitely voted for WildStar! It's the most fun I've had in an MMO for so long.

Have you checked how blizz handled the "Gladiator" issue this season in wow, all the cheaters/botters/scripters/DDOSERs  did not get DQed
I serious doubt this company can handle the amount of cheaters that will come in an fps game like "Overwatch" lol, seems fun now wait till it goes live lol

Add almost any MMO title released since WoW, and I'd say you were right on the money. Everyone else wants to be the guy to knock WoW off its perch. Ain't gonna happen. At least not as far as I can imagine, barring some monumental flub by Blizzard (and even Kung Fu Panda MMO...err, I mean Mists of Pandaria wasn't bad enough to kill the game, just bleed a few subs is all.)

Bleed a few subs?
 
They have lost nearly 2 thirds of their player base.

They lost that many, yet it didn't completely kill the game nor knock it off its perch at #1. They still have that by quite a wide margin, so it's a fair bet that they can take it. Nonetheless, I'd still take this over WoW any day.

			That link didn't work for me :/

Try this one Tea, here you can see the five categories for Wildstar. if this dont work search in google :)

I find it pretty worthless when they show the number of votes next to each game; this very heavily favors 'popularity bias' where people will only vote for the most popular games.  I've also caught a few rats (mostly overseas Korean-only games) trying to bribe players to vote in their favor.
Useless voting is useless but meh.  Exposure works.
 
I'm especially amused at the Mobile Games category that uses nothing but the App Icons instead of the actual name of it until you hover over it with your mouse and wait a few seconds.
Gee, I wonder how these specific Mobile Games were chosen out of the absolute flood of them on Google Play and iOS?
 
Some values are ridiculously high (Warframe, really?) despite less than popular player sentiments and almost no in-game community features.
 
Researched the company behind it:
http://www.tming.net/
 
Let's see what we have here:
Korean-focused company with G-Star (Korea only) coverage.  That explains all the non-English games in 'voting'.
Hit piece on WoW to 'warn' against scams.
News promo for one of their coveted MMOs
Warframe seems to have done a standard front-page blurb (Carbine should take notes) but they also bribed people to vote by entering them in a 'Platinum' (cash shop currency) raffle.  That explains the skewed voting somewhat.
You can vote for multiple entries if you click fast enough before it registers.  There's no encryption or authentication on the voting site.  A simple IP lock will not prevent mass-voting via auto-vote bots or otherwise.  Votes can be repeated daily.  This explains a lot of the non-English entries having high vote amounts.
So yeah, fail voting is fail.  Not sure why anyone takes a website like that seriously but *shrug*.
 
EDIT:
 
Despite garbage and easily-abused voting system, I threw in a few votes for WildStar over others in certain categories because it was just WildStar versus a ton of no-name Asian grinder clones.
 
The entire wall of fantasy games with boobs in their promo is something that should be screenshotted and image macro'd as a new meme.  There's even a Marvel themed one on one of the pages with one of the female charaters (front and center) in a thong with full ass in view.
 
There's the very obvious WoW-ripoff mobile game clones with plagiarized icon artwork that I laughed at.  One with Sylvanas Windrunner (nominated for multiple categories, what!?) and one with DeathWing.  Obvious plagiarism is obvious but that doesn't stop the Koreans apparently.
 
Seems companies throw DMCA and IP protection only against completely free fan projects while commercially-run plagiarist games get off the hook.  How does that work again!?
 
There are about 5 different mobile games with 'Clash of X' in the title.  Much lulz.
 
The games seem to be arranged in alphabetical order, meaning games like WildStar are already at a disadvantage except for those who bother to scroll to the end.

			I'd love to vote for Wildstar. Then again, I'd love for them to fix my CS tickets instead of telling me to go F myself...
