So ChaosD1 posted his review of Neverwinter not to long ago. If anyone wants to know what he thinks about it and spread word of this review, here is the link.

    I would have to say his review is pretty bang on. If I hear of anyone having questions about the game and if they should try it or not, I will certainly have them check this review out.

    That and this Reddit post explain a lot, very clearly:

    I must admit, I've never seen the game's economic system stripped down so clearly.

    Too bad the numbers are wrong.

    Wow an accurate, well done review for a change. A review by someone who actually spent the time to learn how the game works and has played more than a few hours. That's a review site that I'll probably go back to once in a while.

    Yeah i actually found it pretty accurate, I agreed with most of his opinions but I would have personally been a bit harder on the cash shop.

    Quite thorough review, although subjective in places (imo!). Got a laugh out of the "I need the item, because I need to put it on the AH, because I need the AD" line. But I think his review was a bit colored by those opinions such as loot and the community. People acting immature in a videogame?!? Certainly hit the mark on PvP and some other areas though.

    Not sure why he's surprised by that attitude tbh, what with the publisher making so many things require so much AD and all. Greed encourages greed, who'd of thought?

    It was a decent review for the most part, a bit fanboy-ish at times and he's certainly in no position to determine who are "legitimate" players and who isn't. Also, he was way too lenient on the absurd cash shop.
