I am so disappointed.
GW2 is for me, the best MMO I have ever played, and I have played a lot. I was so excited for the E3 announcement, more info on HoT, and now pre-purchase is available!
One of the best features of GW2 is the community, it shines head and shoulders above other games. Till now.

All the ranting and crazy talk going on about how Anet is “ripping” us off – are you kidding me? Before GW2 launched people where unbelieving that such a huge AAA MMO could run with no sub – it was just amazing – sub fees where gone forever!
If GW2 was sub based it would have cost me $540 to play over the last 3 years.
And you say $50 is a rip off…

Community- You disappoint me.

Okay, let’s be careful about lumping the entire community into one conglomerate whole.

The first complaint is that $50 is simply too high of a price tag for what has been presented. I’m not in disagreement, in all honesty. That’s something that can be rectified as more information pertaining to the expansion is released, but at the moment, it’s not enough for the “industry standard” price tag that has been slapped on it. You’re asking for fans to fork over money sight unseen, and Arena.net hasn’t particularly given a compelling reason to do so yet.

Still others are angry that purchasing the base expansion doesn’t come with a free character slot, something that previous games under the Guild Wars umbrella has done in the past. Again, I’m in agreement. There needs to be a compelling reason to break from precedent, and Arena.net has offered pretty much nothing but silence.

Entitlement doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. Standing up for what you think is a fair price to you is something that should be applauded as sound customer thinking. And if the protest actually stirs a change in the original plan, then it can only be a victory for customers everywhere.

But, unfortunately, once again, we have the kittenty, toxic element whose beef isn’t the price or the lack of bonus perks… but that purchase of the expansion will come with the base game at no extra cost for new players.

In summary, they aren’t angry because they feel cheated, they’re angry because they feel someone else is getting more than them. If you’re a member of this group, let it be known you’re a terrible person who needs to be summarily ignored and your complaints dismissed without merit.

Very well said.

Finally a nice balance response. If you feel the price is too high, then you simply don’t buy it. For me the price is so cheap, compare to other MMOs I have played in the past (all sub based).

I’m angry because I feel misled. To avoid cross-post, here’s a link to why.
