I've never seen the Other Side as any real competition, so 'meh' to whatever they're whining about.
Hahahaha. And they were whining that CoH was copying them when power coloring came along...!
IBTL!!!
I will admit they have better chesticles.
What!? You know we were all thinking it.

Though, perhaps somewhat biased, I reckon it's fair to say that the CoX boards have never (or very rarely) been as bad for this as most other MMO boards.
Both CO and CoX are good games and different enouh to both have a place in the world - there's no real need for either to fear the other.

Dammit I want the ability for my character to buy Ailsbury Road / Mayfair / Park Place (delete where appropriate) and build a hotel on it.

That said, I think having a direct competitor is a good thing (for both games). It fosters innovation and impells the developers to work harder and faster to make their product good. While CO isn't my cup of tea, I would rather that it stick around.

From what I've seen, CO serves the purpose of making CoH look better by comparison.
I considered playing CO...until I found out more about it and saw the graphics. Pretty much killed it for me.

They're pretty defensive over there - especially when you bring up CoH. It amuses me and I think it's cute.
CO an okay game and has a lot of potential but right now it just has so many flaws that make playing it only tolerable in short bursts. Right now CoH is simply better. It has more depth, is more robust, and we can actually team over here. Teaming is non-existant in CO and I think that's killing that game. I mean, I like to solo too but when I do actually want to team I'd like to think it's actually possible.
I'm very very happy with the improvements to CoH that the devs have made. We spoke up and they listened to us. I don't get the sense that that's the case on CO.
Great job, Devs, and thank you.

Actually, I'm not. Due to the bizarre way their sliders are rigged, I've never been able to produce anything that's reasonably pleasing to look at outside of the most directly default model, and even then it's so-so. Our last-generation stiff graphics still eke out in front, in my eyes.|

War Witch interview here.
| Our last major question was an obvious one that even came up in responses to the panel: what Paragon Studios thought about Champions Online. Far from being a matter of pointing and laughing, Bianco confessed that she herself didn't play, but there were people on the team who did. The team as a whole keeps a close eye on it, as it's their primary competition, but there's no ill will from the studio toward their former officemates. "We still have friends in Cryptic," she said, "and obviously we want them to have some measure of success." |
To be honest, CoX and CO are from the same company, so I doubt the competition really exists. If it would be from a forum of, lets say, DC universe online, then perhaps the post would have meant something.

These are games - assuming that the potential purchaser has the budget available they become a viable purchase/subscription whilst they are fun and playable.
Neither is so appalling that they are unplayable or particularly tricky or difficult to play. Neither is so bug-ridden that it stands out in the market of MMOs. So neither can really be said to be poor quality.
And on the fun side... that's subjective. There'll be people who prefer CO and people who prefer CoX. Neither is absolutely correct in believing the game they prefer is better, but both are no doubt correct in believing their game to be better for them.
Of course the number of people who would play an MMO is limited. The number who'd play a superhero MMO is further limited. The amount of money available for subs from this pool of potential customers is limited.
But, given that you can't absolutely declare one better than the other, the available pie is certainly big enough to sustain 2 games with different approaches/feels.

Didn't Cryptic left CoH when ParagonStudios bought it?
