It seems like this is the hot topic in Aionsource these days. An ex-WoW player tries Aion, gives his opinion in comparison with WoW because he played WoW? One of the best ways for us to understand something new is to look at it in comparison with something that we already know.
While the actual review in debate had some bias leaning toward WoW, I think it represents the eyes of a big majority that's going to be hopping from WoW to try out a new MMO. When we're talking about within Aionsource, it's probably of little value other than to just create brainless flaming- inducing our beloved community into an ugly Kindergartner shouting match arena. However, when we're looking at the MMO community as whole, Aion / WoW comparison is 'important' for a lot of people. And I'm going to end that argument right now for you guys; you can't compare Aion and WoW- NOT because WoW had 2 expansions, but because they are two very different games with different gameplay goals in mind.
