Guild Wars 2

50 dollar is actually reasonable for vanilla + expansion.
The problem is that old players got the short end of the stick as we can’t get an upgrade for reduced price.
The only benefit we will have is beta weekend access and a worthless title.
They better come up with something more shiny to attract people to pre-order.

And no, extra character slot won’t do it. Not for everyone. It might be a deal maker for those that really need it for revenant, but many people including myself are perfectly fine with character slots (already bought few of them). So again, slapping character slot as extra doesn’t make any difference for me, because it would be useless for me, so yeah I’m in a camp “no way I’m paying 50 bucks for expansion”.
Simply lower the price for those that already own core game, I don’t want any extras to justify 50 bucks tag, because I will get whatever extra I want from gem store if I want, when I want.

Thing is the $50 price pill is a bitter one to swallow – and the least anet can do it to sweeten it for everyone – not just for the new players who seems to get all the attention.

Right now there’s nothing in it for the current players and that is why everyone is rioting. If it includes one character slot for the current players – sure some may say meh, but they won’t be running to grab their pitchforks.

The price is expected from a B2P model. However I don’t disagree that there should be some consideration towards existing players.

While I’m still going to wait to see what all HoT has to see if it’s completely worth the entry price or not, but something as small as a extra character slot, bank expansions, etc.

Price is a joke. If GW2 weren’t practically abandonware they’d have some legs to stand on. This expansion isn’t additional bonus content, it’s a much needed blood transfusion into a dying game. They should have known better than to price it like this, but greed rules the day after all.

maybe give us 800 gems or something.
thats the price of the core game at -75%
