Gothic 2 greater than 1, and in either case ranked too low just because not modern enough... While having some things that other games still struggle to get done correctly.
Bell wright probably deserves a spot with the rather enhanced question and village simulation elements. Other than that feels like a fairly solid list.
I avoided the game as a result of the decision. Experience says it will welcome to a ganky mess.
The truth is they did this because they didn't want to put in the effort the pve fixes would require. PVP is cheap "content" to add and brings in a fair bit of money.
