Why is it that every MMO released after WoW is getting rated during the first week or two, they complain about bugs, incomplete content, etc. Since everyone here knows WoW Ill use WoW as an example.

Gameplanet.com

Their review of WoW (first) was made in february 2005.

Their review of WAR was on September 22nd 2008

.... Wtf is wrong with that piece of **** Don't **** review an MMO atleast a year after release or till a few months. I know some people don't care bout ratings, they'll just pick up the game if their fans of it or got sick of WoW. But these ratings determine Sales for games, giving an MMO especially a mediocre review during its launch week is just killing the overall potential of it all.

WoW had way more bugs then WAR, not as much as AoC but still alot, as for incomplete content WoW during its premature state only had one endgame content, no BGs. And unbalanced classes (no doubt since PvP BGs werent implemented yet)

Read these reviews and compare:

I know its one website but if you comapre them all, WoW to WAR reviews, they gave WoW some breathing room before reviews and its unfair for other Devs/companies.
