Good day.

I believe it is not just only me find the HoT packages are ridiculous. You may want to consider another package which is call “Upgrade” for existing GW2 players as not everyone need those bonus stuffs. Like me, as a casual player I don’t need all of them. Looking at the Standard package which cost $49.99 and claims the package will come with Core Game with HoT expansion. I already paid for the Core Game earlier and why should I pay another time for Core Game again instead of just HoT expansion?

If these packages are release in country like Australia with strong consumer law, there will be troubles for sure. I hope ANET would look into the packages and consider again. Just go ahead with another Upgrade package which cost like maybe less than the Standard.

Peace and Cheers.

No. They won’t. And they shouldn’t.

The price is right in line with what MMO expansions cost. Deal with it.

Even if they won’t, I’ll just leave the voice here. Many are complaining now about the Standard package, which we are paying the core game TWICE. Think about it.

No. They’re not. Stop defending it.

The proof is in the pudding. Would you have payed $99 for Living World Season 1? 2? Even both combined? Would you have been happy with what you got?

If so, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you, as well as being a Nigerian Prince who just needs your checking account number for your winnings from our lottery you never entered.

If the expansion is “in line” with other games, then sure.

However the amount of content is NOT “in line” and thus it doesn’t justify the cost for existing owners like I am.

The Expansion is $49.99 (Standard) if you buy it on a new Account that doesn’t own the Core game you get the Core game for free. Now I am not defending the price just wanted to clear that up. I for one think this is far to expensive for the amount of content that they have shown us up to this point compared to other MMOs hell even Guild Wars 1. I mean come on we don’t even get a single free Character Slot for buying the Standard Edition?

And this is why I am suggesting them to come out with new pack which calls “Upgrade”, just give us the HoT expansion content with lower price as we are not going to double pay for the core game, this is unfair and should escalate to tribunal court.

Last expansion for SWTOR was $20. Last expansion for GW1 was $25.

Don’t have to deal with anything, just not wasting $50 on three new areas.

You aren’t buying the Core game again tho. The Expansion is $49.99 but if you buy it on a all new account you get the Core game for free.

No it’s not. There was one World of Warcraft expansion that cost $50, and that’s it.

(laugh) I’m so glad I didn’t farm for that beta drop item now. Saw this one coming a mile away.

Gone to Reddit.

Literally this. If HoT had as much content as the base game I paid for 3 weeks ago, maybe. I might add in the original FAQ for (which they have shadow updated now) that HoT required the base game. Which is shady, and to be frank I feel lied to.

As it stand the only thing it will bring is 3 maps, a guild map, a new class, and a competitive ladder(what ever that means). I understand development costs and a lot of work was put into the expansion but it only seems like a mere 100 hours of content compared to the base game which is well worth its dollar.

If anet wants to sell it at 50$ fine that’s there choice, but they are really going to have to start showing what level depth of content were talking here. I mean I could buy witcher 3 right now for the same price and easily get 500 hours out of the game.

Now that they released it it’s hard to undo it since people already brought it and they cannot change it without getting flak from both sides.

Purchase record can be tracked, either they go refund or giving other bonuses or compensation due to the bad business deal that they created.
