Why not wait and see how its actually put into practice?
I don’t believe it for one second with a cash shop in the game.
Weeee yoooo weee yoooo! This is the depression police speaking. We must ask you to please leave the premisis, sir!
Made me LOL
Hehehe Yeah, I’m not sure why they have to even speak up.
No need to buy them, Gw2 will feature consistent free content updates and in-game events going forward. Our goal is to make it so you get more from Gw2 for free than you get from a game you pay a subscription for.
On top of a large amount of free bonus content, we will be expanding on offerings in the Black Lion Trading Company going forward, as well as be doing large-scale expansion content down the road.
We’ll cover a lot of the details on the kind of support and plans we have in place over the next month or so on the Gw2 blog and with our press partners.
We do appreciate that you’d like to buy lots of new content, but we’d prefer to give a lot of it to you for free, cause that’s what we think a responsible MMO company does!
This is a fantastic answer. I will be buying some of the online goods, as soon as I figure out how the trading post works
The game is fantastic, and it seems that you as a company have put a lot of forethought in to how the game will expand. I will defintaely be one of your buyers, you made quite a good game!
I think few people actually realise this fact, apart from the ones who read the post, they should make an announcement?
From Colin- “We’ll cover a lot of the details on the kind of support and plans we have in place over the next month or so on the Gw2 blog and with our press partners.”

Thats pretty much what ever modern MMO does though. It’s certainly not unique.
I’m sorry, but which ones? All the ones I know of make you pay a sub… and those that are F2P limit content until you start giving them money. (WoW, LOTR, SWTOR)
Same with this game in the form of yearly 40-60$ expansions. With Lotro I could have pretty much unlocked the entire game for 6 months with the 250 or so turbine points they give you for extra crap.
Anet is far from a saint, they have no sub fee because A) I highly doubt this game would be successful if it had one (I know I wouldn’t have bothered picking it up) and
There are many other MMOs that are just as good as this one.

I’m sorry but which are actually as good? Which have such a compeling story and great visuals? I’d like to hear some ideas, and secondly why would this game not be successful if it had a sub fee? there are games like WoW and people pay subs for it and lets face it the time it takes them to model a piece of weapons is counted in seconds since everything is low poly, WoW requires less effort from the developers and it’s nothing but a grind fest, where as here you have DE’s and Quests and all in all A LIVE WORLD

Uhm… LOTRO had $40-50 expansions before they went free to play Mines of Moria I think it was? SWTOR is planning on having an expansion that you have to pay for. RIFT is releasing an expansion for the same amount of money unless you commit to playing their game for a year. WoW has released $50-60 expansions almost yearly…
I’m not saying Anet are saints- truly, what company is? But I’m sorry, your argument doesn’t really hold much weight here…
Also, I have to say, I’d pay for a sub. I’m having the kind of fun in this game that I had in WoW Vanilla, and there’s a lot more to do in it than there was when WoW was released.
and sure, there are many MMO’s that are, in my opinion, almost as good as this one. The fact that you’re saying they’re just as good is your opinion

Careful there, you’re threading into subjective territory now. Not everyone thinks those “many MMOs” that YOU play are as good as this one. Not even close.

Objectively speaking WoW, TOR and RIFT (and a few others) are all good quality games, what it comes down to is personal test.
The only reason I bought this game was because I was getting tired of TOR and WoW and didn’t want continue to sub to either one for the few months that I wasn’t going to play them, if it had a sub fee I promise you that not as many people would play it for years and years.

Dude, I don’t know what crack your on, but this game is as good if not better than most subscription based MMO’s out there. And I’m leaning on it being better. Even /with/ a subscription fee, I’d still pay just to play this game. This game is actually innovative, whereas Rift, Warhammer, LOTRO were not. They all followed the basic mindless “Use a rotation for your spells/abilities” mentality. That’s alone is what earns new MMO titles such as “WoW clone”, because they hardly innovate on the genre and just use WoW’s model and add a different lore background.
Guild Wars 2 finally broke the trend. If you can’t see that, I’m assuming your not very good at taking a look at something in-depth.
NegativeNancy is entitled to his opinion I suppose, freedom of speech applies…
NegativeNancy should go play LOTRO, imo.

I know this isn’t a suggestion thread but how bout adding fishing, or bow practice, games in which people can compete, would be funny if you could play a form of ping-pong in an MMO or maybe just pong

From an MMO stand point it did quite a bit. But from an over all game standpoint it did very little. I look at MMOs how I look at everyother non-MMO I play and maybe thats why I am so critical of it. This game lacks any meaning full story and endgame PvE elements and from a personal prospective the game’s combat isn’t that enjoyable when compared to something along the lines of COD or a ton of other games, for me it falls into the same category as most other mmos in terms of enjoyment.

I think that may be your problem. This game is an MMO and therefore, it will have the mechanics of an MMO (thankfully, because first person shooters make me sick- I just can’t play them)
I don’t think it’s fair to make that comparison, though. If you’re looking to play a first person shooter, play a first person shooter. That’s like being disappointed at an orange because it doesn’t taste like an apple.
The story is actually pretty good too, at least, from what I’ve experienced so far.
I’m looking forward to what they come up with!! I’d like to say that I can’t wait, but I’m only sitting at level 64 with 22% map completion, so I guess that I definitely can LOL
BTW, I remember at one point they’d been hinting that they’d add DE’s and just let users stumble upon them rather than announcing them – which would be both amazing and difficult — difficult because it would be very easy to imagine that there had been no new content… Perhaps a nice compromise would be to have a blurb/patch notes that X number of Events/DE Meta chains had been added and then we could search for them around Tyria?
Which do you guys think would be better?

With statements like this I would honestly think you guys are full of it…if it wasn’t for the fact that your game is jaw droppingly amazing lol.
But seriously, I want to pay you guys. GW2 may be my fave MMO ever, and I have played them since UO. I just want to make sure I get more of it.
