After a lot of thinking, I think the forum members who maintain no-sub/money off xpacs which benefit both the devs and the customers, pure horizontal progression development ideals, etc. are correct in their opinion.

This includes maintaining your original plan to keep lvling moderate, and reduce grind. Gating I believe is something artificial, and if can be done away with will lead to a much more enjoyable game.

A company with ideals, such as Google, will always beat a company that sacrifices ideals to profit (think MS).

It’s the best way to do things in the end, and it’s where the new direction is and also the most profitable one. Don’t get thrown into the mess a lot of other companies are dealing with as a result of caving into pressure from interfering sources who just want to run their company the way “they” want to. It would most definitely ruin their game. Losing sight of their goals is the worse thing that can happen and being too calculative with their decisions will make them fall out in the bigger scheme of things.

The ability to make new characters at a whim and lvl them quick, will only attract new customers. Appealing to selfish thoughts such as thinking that forcing players to have to re-roll a character to patch up mistakes they made with their original one, to draw things out in order to profit, is not a good idea. Go big or go home, keep it so that anybody can give all of their classes max lvl. Then, progress to new horizontal progressive content. It is not a big deal if everybody ends up with max lvl characters in a short period of time. It already takes long enough for dedicated players to reach max lvl on all characters. By keeping this time span shorter than usual mmos out there as it is, you are enabling new players to come in rapidly. You will not lose money in your pocket at all. Instead you will gain reputation and glory points.

I believe GW2 has the potential to destroy WoW, which has gotten pathetically greedy. To do this, it has to return to its source and the purest form, think God Wars 2.

Agree if you want to keep this post up as long as possible to keep the attention of the devs. Also, sticky this if you are a responsible forum moderator (only a joke).

Purist, Idealist, and Theorist.
