I personally don’t want a subscription to Guild Wars 2, but it sounds like a lot of people do.
If Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have a subscription, then they have to come up with ways for people to throw money into their system to receive money I.E, gems.
If Guild Wars 2 makes the costs for the weapons and the probability to receive them low, it’s because they need to make enough money to even continue making the game.
If you don’t want the obscenely low drop rates maybe you should ask them to add a subscription so they can increase the drop rates because they already have their money. I mean, look at WOW, they have a subscription and their drop rates are amazingly high for these sorts of things
. Oh wait…. THEY AREN’T!
Don’t complain because Guild Wars 2 wants to make some money so they can continue to make the game better and have more content. You can still enjoy the event without all the weapon skins and if you get one, then woohoo! They aren’t mandatory, and if you really want them so bad, then you will pay the money, whether you rely on luck (keys), or don’t (buy with gold).
Just be good sports, Anet only does thing because they need to make money off of something. WOW sells special mounts for $10ish and players shouldn’t be raging because its not $5.
Do we need a subscription?
The things that are up for sale on the gem shop are optional.
Subscriptions are mandatory just to play the game.
No subs please.
So far the low drop rates have been on things that manly contribute to cosmetics. Legendary weapons and such. So long as the items that are hard to get aren’t better, I think the system is working perfectly fine. Hard to get stuff gives you a goal and it does not, so far, alter the players ‘power’. Honestly if this stuff was easy to get we’d just see the current complaints replaced with complaints about boredom. Silly gamers, you’ll never be happy (because you won’t let yourself be).
No we don’t, because if we do, then i will seek a refund and no longer be able to play. The reason i bought this game (it’s my first MMO) was because of the no sub fee.
