I have nothing against AoC, and I'd be playing it if my computer could handle it.
That reasoning is just so bad on so many levels though. AoC is automatically better game than SC2/Diablo3 because it's out and we're playing it? Let's just invalidate Darkfall completely because it's still in development.
You're right though, I can't argue that we're actually playing a game that "retailed" right now. My point: Who cares? That was never the issue. Darkfall will be a better game when/if it comes out.
