That is the only real reason most people play MMO; is for the repetitive grind element.

That is one of the most ridiculous and bogus things you have ever said on this forum Tibs.

First off, no. Warhammer does NOT have the repetitive grind that people have apparently grown to love in MMO's  :blue:

While there are PvE elements in Warhammer, it is primarily based around PvP. But not the PvP you are used to in WoW. If you go in thinking that, you are sorely mistaken. What we have is all out war. They call it Realm vs Realm. Siege weapons, boiling oil, keeps, fortresses, tactics, constant action, public quests (which could be one of the coolest innovations I've seen in a long time). And End Game RvR. Main realm city raids. Pillaging player housing, etc etc... There is so much to do in this game, that from my friends who have been in beta awhile have said that they have not once experienced a time where they felt like they didn't know what to do next. All that stuff, and THEN, there's a bajillion other ways to advance your character. 40 PvE ranks, 80 PvP ranks, Crafting, Guild levels, City levels, Tactics, Masteries, Trophies, Tome of Knowledge Achievements that are actually worthwhile... the list goes on.

Saying that the main draw for people to play MMOs is the grind isn't even remotely accurate. Unless you were being sarcastic. "The Grind" has always been one of the negative aspects of MMO's. If you have ever participated in any closed beta for an MMO there are always discussions galore on ways to minimize The Grind.

Sorry Tibs... EPIC FAIL.

GOSH Tibs.  How could you biff this one.  I mean the cyber chicks in Warhammer are much better than WOW.  Its so obviously clear.  Warhammer is by far the best game ever made.  Everything was made from Warhammer.  The hammers that Bowser throws in Super Mario Bros are clearly from the latter half of War"hammer". 

Everyone plays WARHAMMER!!!!  "W" uses it for tactical strategy in Iraq.  Disney uses it to create new creatures for movies.  Lance Armstrong uses it for channeling the inner spirits to whip the French in cycling. 

ITS JUST THE ONLY GAME EVER!!!!....

...... that I couldn't give a rat's @rse about.

I'm probably going to at least *try* it when open beta comes around... I'm thinking about quitting WoW come the new expansion cause I'd rather pay for a brand new game then extend my current game whilst still technically having to restart my character's 1337ness and get all new retarded gear.

But in all seriousness, Agent; I must apologize. Yes I do play Warhammer RTS on the occasion. I have all the RTS games. And Dawn of War 2 is looking sweet. I am just not that big of a MMO fan as I used to be. Only games I am looking forward to are Red Alert 3 and GTA4.
