"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

See folks? It's NOT an MMO, the developers themselves have acknowledged this many times, so please stop spamming 'That's so MMO!' about covering it.
Also, holy shit Destructoid, could there possibly be any more ads? There are so many ads on the screen that the actual story itself was pushed DOWN ON THE PAGE. I get that the site has to show ads to make money and stuff by this is getting ridiculous. A quick count reveals that on this one page there SEVEN ads. And that's being a little generous because I count the little story blurbs thing as one ad and the google adsense blocks as one ad per module. That's seriously ridiculous.
How is GW2 not an MMO? I could see that argument about the first one (although even that is a shaky argument, considering the amount of games nowadays using the same style of network infrastructure that call themselves MMO [I'm looking at you, DDO])... But GW2 is a persistent, open world with thousands of players this time. How does that not qualify?
