**It's been quite a bit since I last started to rant about something video-game related, and guess, what I'm back. You can't get rid of me. Enjoy.**
One of the biggest things that bugs me whenever I buy a game is when it has massive amounts of bugs. I mean, sure, I can understand the occasional "oops, my bad.", where it's only something little, but when there are multiple things wrong with a game that you paid quite a bit of bank for, there's an issue. For example, I recently purchased Guild Wars 2, which as many of you may know, has had a very rough launch. Thousands of hacked accounts, their trading system a mess, and many other game-changing bugs have left me a very unhappy camper. Before you go off on a keyboard warrior, "THEY ARE HAVING A TOUGH TIME, SYMPATHIZE WITH THEM.", or anything like that, just hear me out.
**Yes, I know that Guild Wars 2 is a week into launch, and no launch is perfect. You don't have to scream it at me, but if you want to, feel free to do so.**
Along with massive amounts of bugs, which, quite frankly, bug me, my biggest problem is paying for something that doesn't work. I bought the Deluxe Edition of Guild Wars 2, why not, and along with it came a few bonuses, along with an item that gives you points for your "guild", or group. Many, many players, along with myself, have had the large issue of using that item, where the game just eats it up like a delicious snack and spits in your hand. What does this mean? It means that we have paid an extra $20, just to get a bundle of buggy items. Now, feel free to disagree, but I believe that if people are paying their hard-earned cash on something extra for a wonderful game, don't you think the developers should give them working items?
Now, to shed some sweet goodness on this title, the game is actually very fun. ANET and NCsoft have added very innovative elements to the game, and they're very enjoyable. The dynamic event system is absolutely wonderful, and is a nice change from the old style quest chain, which is probably the most boring thing, in my opinion. The game is built in such a way that you can just wander around aimlessly, which I often do in all games, and still level up the same as someone following the storyline. The action elements such as the dodge are wonderful, and I absolutely love most of the art style, other than my midget of a character who is fitted with a black afro.
Even though this is a rant, I still have to do my standard procedure so that I'm not just talking to a brick wall, because I love reading what other people have to say, and criticism never hurt anybody.

What do you think about Guild Wars 2? Have you picked it up yet?
Do you think developers should release games with incomplete features?
Do you remember Minecraft's launch? Remember any of the key bugs?
Do you like to see some humor in articles? What about a nice structure? Would you like it well-organized, or just paragraphs broken up? Images to spice it up?
**As always, you don't have to answer my questions, but just remember, every time you do, I scream in joy and go tell my mommy that I have friends. (No, I really don't, or do I?)**
