I have to say that although I don't agree that it's a "all young'uns" game, it does have a "younger" look to it, and the PvP might be geared towards younger audiences that would find that enjoyable.
Ya...Diablo2 and BNET junkies. Great crowd if ya ever sit and talk in one of those chats?

and the fact that you can't just rush through levels, you have to learn.
You mean by the time my sorcerous is lvl 99, yours is only lvl 10? Thats why Diablo 2 is so more powerful!

To me that says it's made for an audience that would lose interest fast if there wasn't always just fight fight action fight...
Lets open Diablo 2 and play through the game once or twice for phatlewtz?

People will play it like mad, have intense fun for a while...and then one day, log on...find themselves already uber level and with little else to keep them occupied.

Ok what game are we talking about here? Seriously, only thing I could think of while reading that is "Diablo 2", not WoW.
Its comparing apples and oranges, a first person shooter to a racing game. I'm very hard pressed to bite my tounge every time someone says WOW is a MMORPG. Why? Its just an upgrade to Diablo for the most part! You zoom through levels with non stop smashing and fighting and you'll be big in no time. No in depth community, no real basis to economy, no real purpose other then smashing away and leveling up faster then others. This isn't a MMORPG, this is the same thing as D2...a "hack and slash." Same line as Dungeon Siege.
Now granted, I've played D2 (and Dungeon Siege), and for what they are, they are good... just they aren't a type of game we would compare EQ2. One, you play through once, maybe twice, or if you are like one of my obsessed Diablo friends, 40 times and make newbies bow down to you before you kill them repeatedly. EQ is a building thing...you just don't "play through it." The lvl progression, the economy...all this of WOW suggest its the same type of playthrough as Diablo.
Not saying Diablo is a bad game, just a different game. (Although I am bashing Bnet a bit cause theirs a lot of 'tards on there, my old friend being one of em.)
Not saying WOW is a bad game, just a different game.
So to the WOW junkies that are boasting and bragging... when you play our type of game, then you can talk to me.
