The Daily Grind: Do you put any stock in pre-release dev quotes?

ArcheAge castle siege

This past week saw a couple of interesting developer quotes surface regarding ArcheAge and The Elder Scrolls Online. I don't know about you guys, but I filed them away for future reference, both because I'm cynical and because the topics covered are high on my personal pucker factor list.

First up was ESO'sMatt Firor, who stated that his game will deliver a "polished, lag-free launch experience." Then it was Trion'sEvan Berman, who said that ArcheAge's "earned and crafted items are objectively superior" to what will be on offer in the title's western cash shop.

I'd like to believe both of those quotes, naturally, but I didn't start playing MMOs yesterday. What about you, Massively readers? Do you put any stock in pre-release developer promises?
