i don’t like temporary content, I’m very casual player, maybe play once or 2 times a week, i very rarely play the temporary content because i never get time to complete the achievements or be there on the last day to the finish the end content stuff. if it was solid content id be able to accomplish it better in the time i can allocate to playing the game. that’s is one reason why i stopped playing gw2, as there is no point playing something that’s gone in a few days or within a week.

But that what a persistent world is things changes with out you being there. If you want to be the center of an universe single players games fit that bill a great deal more then any online game could.

No a persistent world stays the way it is. You mean a living world.. Well thats indeed the excuse Anet uses but really think about it. We are all on a living world. Sure things come and go but overall things stay for a long time.

The event / story would be the building of a public pool in your area. then when it’s there it’s very likely there for at least 30 years.

In a real world stories go by but ‘content’ and ‘achievements’ (the pool, swimming) will stay at least for a long time.

The temporary nature does not make it feel alive, it makes it feel rushed and it feels like you are being pushed into doing stuff you don’t like. Like work I guess. But thats exactly what a game should not be.

I hear the ’It’s all because NCSoft owns ArenaNet that this game is dying’ claim a lot. But NCSoft owned ArenaNet long before Guild Wars (One) launched, as well. No one seems to say it’s NCSoft’s fault that game did well. I wonder why.

it’s pretty much how cryptic has it, their fans constantly attack the publishers for making their game so bad while cryptic is the one creating the game.
first atari was attacked for so many thing, atari on the other hand was getting fed up that cryptic never finished stuff on time.
atari sold it and perfect world took them in, now all of a sudden it’s perfect world who are so horrible.

shows how blinded fans really are, they only look at publishers but rarely look at the actual dev’s.
