I'll ask again, So you're saying, you'd trust a professional video game reviewer, who didn't actually play the game?
What do you see in videos/screenshots of games? Graphics. That is all. (Ok ok SOME gameplay, but without playing its hard to grasp) If you reviewed EQ based on the eye test, every review would say it sucks. Is that fair?
These aren't movies we are talking about, they are video games that require input from a user/player. If you don't participate in the input, how do you know anything?

So what your saying is, we can't form an opinion on something unless we actually interact with it. That is just false. Yes, I would trust a review on a game, if someone hadn't actually played it. Observation is a valid way to experience something, and form an opinion on the subject.
Some things in games can't be experienced through video. But raid content, and instance content can be experienced through video. That was my entire point. Much of this discussion has been on easiness of content, and you can see how easy something is by observing it.
