WAR is only a few months old and already dead in the water.
Long Live Warcraft! Death to the pretenders!
Yeah because WoW was totally perfect and had millions of subscribers within the first year, yup. Makes perfect sense in my honest opinion.
All MMOs (yes, even WoW) had bad starts and were completely buggy, with no end-game content and little to do besides gank noobs in a PVP zone. It took WoW like a year or so before they released end-game content and battlegrounds.
You miss the key point.
It sucks.
It's not rocket science. You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

It's actually better ATM, than WoW was at that point.

Guess what - so did WoW at this point after release.
But no, you're too blinded with fanboy rage that anybody could possibly have a - shock -
different opinion
to you, that you'll just ignore whatever people say.
<3 fanboys.
Fanboy rage? New one to me. Whatever.
Any company releasing a fantasy MMO at the moment, attempting to topple WoW from its pedestal, regardless of whether you are making it primarily PvP or PvE, has to do better than the makers of WAR did.
They overestimated the popularity of their franchise, which has been steadily in decline for years now (more and more GW's shutting down, desperate releases of new game styles and kits, a move into electronic entertainment to keep the cash flow coming), and underestimated how fickle people are.
Who cares how good or bad WoW was 4 years ago, and how can anyone possibly say "Oh, but WAR is better atm than WoW when it was released". That's fine if WAR was competing with the WoW of 4 years ago. It's not. It's competing with the slickest, biggest, most modern fantasy MMO of the time we live in.
And it didn't stand up too well. Sales figures and server populations show that.
