Conspiracy theory time! :D

I am a PvE only player, and must say, I've been rather pleased with the game. I knew about the level cap, and really think it is a great idea. Of course, there are things that bother me, like the constant nerfs that only make the rich richer, and the poor poorer, but I guess Anet wants everyone to have to buy gold from ebay bot farmers.

Anyhow, my concern is for Factions. Nearly every thing I've heard regarding the game indicates that nearly ALL of the new content will be PvP or GvG, or at least partially. That is not why I bought the game. If I want to fight humans, I'll fire up CounterStrike. In short, I'm anxious to see this preview, as it will determine whethor I buy the expansion or not.

Here are some terms ask your self where does GW fit under.

now ask you self where does GW fit in these terms! Would you say that guild wars is an RPG? Would say fractions is an RPG?

I read the original anti-ANet document and I have to say.. honestly.. it's trash.

It may be the honest thoughts of an employee, but it's so poorly explained that I had to stop reading because I kept finding places to nitpick.

Until I stopped reading, everything I WAS reading was backed by personal assumption and feelings and not by factual information.
