Those cereal boxes journalists have to be anti wow. Ranking EverQuest 2 has the best MMO game with its systems.
The game was a complete flop.
Honestly that site needs to be called out on it’s dishonest propaganda. Personal tastes shouldn’t justify journalism.
Although I agree in the general sense that journalists need to be unbiased, it seems that you misunderstood what the article was talking about.
It wasn’t talking about the best MMO game with its systems, but rather, what MMO has the best GUILD system. So regardless of age or how the game is as a whole, its focus was just on the guild system.
In that sense, I can agree with everything that was said there. WoW doesn’t have much going on with their guild system and mainly shares the same basic stuff nearly every MMO already does, gutted out some perks that players enjoyed since Cata, while other perks could use some revisiting.
And with no engine capability for the kind of RP systems other MMOs have like guild housing, we would rarely see WoW on lists like these.
