Guild Wars 2

Isnt that a great way to support the game you love ?

but that would be like every other mmo :/ not everyone can support a game like that due to lack of money. I dont play most mmos because of those fees, $15 a month 12 times is $180 plus $60 for buying the game(standard edition). so for the first year that would be $240 for one game. I like the idea of gems because you can support the game that way and get ingame money. if you cant afford gems you can just use ingame money ^^

I would personally love an option for recurring gem purchaces. I’ve wanted to buy ~$10 a month (new finical situation will finally allow this) and being able to have it automated would be awesome!

if you could set it for as little, or as many gems as you like, this could be awesome.

You might want to look up the word ‘optional’

That being said OP, just buy gems every month. Same thing really.

If you want to support that badly, just buy a year’s wort of gems and consider that your yearly-subscription package.

On that note, I’d like to see them offer a slight discount or bonuses for buying gems in bulk.

Seriously, the gem-to-gold ratio is utterly ridiculous and will only inflate further from new events. We need something to push that rate down.

If we had an subscription option i take it that we would get an discount on gems

So, the OP is willing to pay $240 for the first year of a game then $180 a year after that…

If a company put a price on their game like that (like all subscription and F2P/P2W MMOs) whether optional or not, people with Real RL would give the game the bird and walk away.

Guild Wars has set the precedent for being RL friendly. Most of the GW1 players came to GW2 knowing they could enjoy this game and still go on with their lives.

We don’t live with our parents and work at McJobs (this is a real word, look it up) just to have our only bills be the subscription fee for our game and maybe car insurance so we only have to work enough to pay for those and then live in our games the rest of the month. That would be an average $100 combined for the month, basically 14 work hours a month at federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hr.

Please drop all the “Subscription Ideas” at the door. This is not WoW.

Buy $15 worth of gems every month from the gem store if you feel compelled to pay a subscription fee every month for the game.
