Guild Wars 2

15 bucks got you 3 new missions and 3 new weapon skins for every type of weapon in the game, accessible by ALL your characters.
And all that without taking chances with chests.

Well those times are over.
Welcome to Guild Fortress 2, enjoy your hat.

Do you remember that at the same time it took months if not years to get new content?

But every 6 months a expansion came out with profs/zones/skills/monsters/story/skins/endgame.

Well, for a couple of years at least.

You’re right, longer production time usually means higher production costs so it was an even better deal compared to current offers in the shop.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Actually they only managed that at one point.
And that was between Factions and Nightfall.

Yeah I remember those days…I’mhappy that the new missions in GW2 are often and free. Not a fan of the RNG lockboxes though…

It’s not pay to win or anything and for the hardcore against buying there are ways to attain the stuff without giving money. I do agree the idea of paying for a chance to get something is horrible and should not exist but as long as people make it profitable for ANET to do so they will.

Are you perhaps referring to the Bonus Mission Pack?

Yes I am referring to the bonus missions pack.

The armor skins in GW1 were fair deals too imo. I wouldn’t mind paying a bit for a t3 cultural armor but as it stands t3 cultural armor costs well over 50€(transmutation stones not included) for ONE armor set for ONE character.
I know “you can just farm and get it for ingame gold blah blah”.. yes I can but that will take me a loooong time because I don’t have time to play every day.
And when I have time to play I want to do something fun. Farming is not fun to me.
If I want to do repetitive boring stuff just for a reward .. that’s what jobs are for.

I agree. This game shouldn’t be a career lol.
