This may not be the place for this, so I'll keep it brief.

I found the "10 failures of Aion article" to be poorly-written. The majority of the items which he calls failures are subjective in nature. Is a fantasy game with fewer subscribers than WoW an automatic failure? He returns to this opinion over and over in the article seemingly focusing on nothing else. Can a game be in the fantasy genre and not directly compete with WoW? The reasoning behind calling things failures resemble: "WoW does it this way and it's better therefore Aion fails in this area".

That's my two cents in a nutshell.
