Guild Wars 2

So the other day some of my guildies and I was talking about the F2P restrictions and I went to look at the chart that tells about all them when I noticed something. It turns out that all Masteries are HoT exclusive, so any F2P or anyone who just has the core game will not be able to use the Precursor Mastery or the cool Pact Mastery either. So I feel bad for all the non-owners that was looking forward to getting that precursor in a way besides RNG or the TP. (Personally I thought that the precursor mastery and the pact mastery was core masteries while the HoT masteries was a separate thing.)

I really wonder why there are still people who wonder about the fact that content which is delivered within an expansion actually requires the expansion. I never played GW1 but it is common sense in every other MMO that you have to pay for the expansion if you want to experience something which is coming along with the expansion. Maybe this wasn’t handled that way in GW1.

Maybe this wasn’t handled that way in GW1.

Personally I don’t think the line was drawn really well. In GW1 the campaigns was divided by maps, it wasn’t all one big map, while EOTN was. (Although it required a special quest to get to and if you didn’t have EOTN it wasn’t enabled at all.) Also if this was true then everyone who didn’t get the expansion would be limited to EB in WvW, but I think the current plans include everyone the ability to excess to new maps as well as EB. Also, people in a guild wouldn’t be able to use the Guild Hall. As a Dev has said, once claimed a non HoT owner can go into it and hang out with other guild members but can’t access to HoT only content.

I think the problem is they are trying to get everything to mix together and has created gray areas of what is strictly HoT content and what is HoT content but can be accessed to the non owners.
