Guild Wars 2

Well the announcement of ascended gear and infusions didn’t go that well, a lot of players are not really happy about what Arena Net is about to do and some are even scared and therefore will either quit the game or just stop spending money on it. Others are happy to get a new goal to reach and new items to collect.
Sinces I’m just a regular player I have no way to determine which group is the majority and which the minority. But you Arena Net have a way to do this, you used it during beta: Ingame Surveys.

I’d like you to ask some simple polar questions before you implement things like ascended gear and infusions and then make the results of the survey public so everybody knows what’s likely to come in the future and if he is part of the miniority or majority.

In the case of the Lost Shore Patch the following questions would have been very helpful:
1. Do you want a Gear Treadmill?
2. Do you count Ascended Gear as a Gear Treadmill?
3. Do you want a new tier of items?
4. Do you think there is a gap between exotics and legendarys?
5. Are you happy to only get different skins as a reward?
6. Would like Gating to be implemented?

It isnt about being scared LOL. I pre purchased this game way before it was released because of tenants that were used to develop and implemented in this game. I had a belief that there was a proven track record (GW1) that things would be adhered to and that those things wouldnt be broken. 3 months later and I expect to see pay 2 win in the shop next patch after all nothing is sacred now so why not go all out for the $.

Makes sense to me now and is like bait and switch. Get us who like the original idea to buy it then sell out for what is intended to make money. Simple really.

Loaded questions are loaded. Rephrase them in a neutral manner.

1. Would you agree to progressively increasing gear with increased stats in future updates?
2. Would you agree to a level cap increase in future expansions?
3. Would you want implementations of progressively difficult dungeons requiring a sufficiently powerful character to beat them?
4. Are you happy with cosmetic rewards as the only form of gear reward?

I have to admit those questions sound better, expect for #3 you should rephrase it cause “sufficiently poweful” doesn’t cover if this powerlevel is static or also needs to be increased regularly.

This has been suggested before, in many different ways. I would like to see something like this in the game.
