Guild Wars 2

Come on Arena Net, we bought the game already, can’t you just give us more than 5 character slots? Like for real? There are free to play games out there that gives 12 slots. And we talking about a pay to play game.

Don’t come saying that you can buy them from the in game store for 800 gems, you need to use real money for that, and that was supposed to be a personal choice, because we already bought this and it wasn’t that cheap. Learn to make your fans happy and give us at least a total of 8 character slots.

Thanks for the attention.

Everything seems free. You don’t need to use real money for this game. You can convert gold to gems. Although, you need to farm champions and their boxes in Frostgorge Sound or Queensdale on a populated server. Farming is boring and tedious but you get everything from it.

You know, you can buy Gems with in-game gold.

I think five slots are a fair value for the cost of the game. Would I like more? Of course I would. But as it is, I have the option to pay ~50 gold or $10 for another character slot, and neither one seems horribly unreasonable to me, especially if I’ve enjoyed the game enough to go through five characters already. That’s enough for one character of each race, and 5/8 of the profession options without having to delete anyone or buy extra slots. Considering a lot of places in the story branch into three major options, five seems to cover quite a bit of the game.

There are a lot of places with potential to nickel-and-dime players, but five character slots just doesn’t feel stingy to me.

Oh noes! You bought a free to play game and didn’t get “enough” free things? Poor guy.

Yes, I know I can buy gems with gold, but does it matter? You still have to pay a lot and cost a lot of time aswell for one character slot, that in my opinion should be free for a pay to play game.

liked your answer because it said more than ‘’you can buy Gems with in-game gold’‘, but still, you people need to realize that it isn’t right, it’s something that should be free or at least having more than 5. Come on. We bought this game for a high price.

What do you mean?

It’s not something that “should” be free. It’s something we would like for free. I’d like it if they upgraded me to the Digital Deluxe version for free, but I don’t think my purchase is a bad value just because they could have made it even better, at the expensive of something they could potentially charge for later.

Some games will take that model too far; it’s our job as consumers to do our research and vote with our wallets.

It costs a lot of gold, sure, which can take a lot of time, but, let’s be honest here, if time spent playing the game is such a burden, why does a person need so many character slots?

Edit: And of course it doesn’t censor here. See Kogam’s post for what I mean. I’ve seen this happen before, and I have no idea why.

Those are different things, character slots are needed, Digital Deluxe isn’t. Come on, you can see my point. Digital Deluxe is useless and it’s totally something that can help, but not necessary. There are some kind of players that want to test and try a lot of things, it really restricts your gameplay. More character slots isn’t something that you should fight or spend a lot of time to get it (that is what I meant).

And yes, I noticed your name change.

I chuckled.

Once you have 5 characters maxed out, I’m sure you can make more than enough money to buy some extra slots.

Simple answer, no, you’re wrong.

This game is free to play. It’s pay to own, but it’s free to play, there is no subscription. As a free to play game they need a way to continue to pay for production. One of those ways is by making you buy more character slots. Five is actually a lot for a free to play game, and most likely because you actually bought the client. Usually you only get two, or even one.

It’s super cute how you want more things for free since you paid “so much” but you paid that for a really large good game, not for a huge number of characters. Those five can take you a long way, unless you’re an altaholic. Some people don’t even go beyond their five.
