Guild Wars 2

Im falling short in understanding something.

You have a new event that from my understanding is insanely huge in the lore of guild wars 2. People are very excited and you have been promising rewards for a long fought living story line that to be quite honest have not arrived.

The new patch drops and one looks at the events…..

Why did you not just make the zodiac armors a part of the event and not another plug in the gem store?

Why is it that 90% of the news we now see from nc soft is ALL about the gemstore.

Im sorry guys and i could be totally wrong here.. but i feel like this event took a back seat to gem store pimping this time around..

Am i wrong in how i feel please if i am help me understand how all this gem store work is necessary.

I understand that they need to make money and i understand that we don’t have to buy. But at what point. At what ratio of time must we spend looking at these announcements and in-game features to sell things.. at what point do we decide that it is needless pandering and at what point do we decide that the game has become more of a money spending simulator.

I must be wrong here but its honestly how i feel. I know they have to make a living.. but i feel the ratio has just started tipping way to much in favor of the gem store.

Wait what. How does a new armour set in the gem store mean that it’s all about the gem store?

There is a whole update there, the second to last Scarlet update. Full of a ton of rewards.

Also most people absolutely HATE the zodiac armour. So I don’t imagine they’ll make a lot from it.

I can give you one understanding from my point of view:

Guild wars is fun, has so many different things to offer and really do not get bored.

With that being said, GW2 releases much more content than any monthly fee MMO I have EVER played.

THAT content is not free as programmers and such need to be paid, so the GEM store subsidizes the game so people like me who are unemployed and going to school can play a relaxing game with new content with only the initial cost of buying the game a after release.

Just my opinion.

Because money. You have it, NCSoft wants it. Fork it over.
