    But, the Division isn't a true RPG. It's a cover based shooter with RPG-like elements.

    Edit: And... The Division is really, REALLY, lacking in content, variation and diversity - compared to most true RPGs.
    LOL As if you ever seen anyone using the cover mechanics, much less the cover to cover ones, in the DZ in PvP.

    It's rare indeed, but Pulse with Conceal, Smart Cover + Sniper = Not half bad for an Ambush on the Run, Forrest, Run main routes.

    Console gamers are notorious for their unwillingness to do the same. So---in reality the price of a AAA game at launch has gone from $60 in 1996 dollars, DOWN to about $40....once you adjust for inflation.

    People wonder why we're getting games that feel like they are unfinished.....
    true, WoW sub fee was $12-15/mo and i happily paid it for 5yrs. I have absolutely no problem paying a sub fee for a game that has years of life and constant update/content. $15 is like a good lunch except i get 100's or 1000's of hours of enjoyment out of it instead of 10 mins and a good poop.

    The game's been out for less than three months, it's getting it's second (and largest of the two) content update in 5 days, and the devs are listening and acting upon things the community is asking for.
    They knew what they were competing with. A game that releases in 2016 is facing off against competitors as they exist in 2016, not how they started. The Division will be compared to Destiny now, not Destiny in September 2014. And it should be, because we've already been through the crappy early issues of games like that, and I'm not cutting Massive a break because The Division is new.

    Even if not, the original post only consisted of elements that were in WoW 1.0.

    I am aware of the fact, that WoW had sub fees, but even taking this into account, The Division is a sad, sad grinder with to many bugs, to many flaws and not many fun parts once you reached level 30 and a heavy lack of content.

    WOW was a hand held driven MMO for people with zero XP in that genre. I played for a bout a month, i know I am not in the majority but I couldn't stand the game coming from DAoC. it sucked.

    I can agree on that, that's also a huge factor of it's following success.

    But if WoW was mmo light and overrated, what is The Division? MMO for Dummies?
