Colin first said there would be a ‘What to expect’ blog in January. Then in Dec. or Jan., he said he would release it after LS Season One ended.

So, I guess that’s why we haven’t seen it yet; I, too, am waiting for the bi-(or so)yearly ‘State of the Game’ blog.

Ah ok, I missed that bit. Shame, we get so few updates on forthcoming news about the game as it is.

They have already done this last year. A lot of stuff on the list of things to expect didn’t happen. Put no faith in this statement of anything big to drop. Whatever is said will drop has already been historically proven to not be necessarily true. Unfortunately this is what happens when you talk to people who have memories that last over 6 months. Now new traits/skills got addded. No particle was turned down. Legendary precursor crafting was not introduced. These were all big things to drop that never did.

life span of a mmo is 2 years maximum,beyond that it will be suicide for that mmo because>>>
first: core players who are the most important players for any games are saturated with content.
second : in terms of game currency the core players have a lot of it like gold,karma,etc.
in this games core players got multiple legendary weapons and as matter of fact many got at least one.
third: in terms of progression many are already high rank wvw or spvp or fotm and done all content in it many times again and again.
so if they are not going to release expansion which is pretty much bring a lot of new content and currency and items and prepare people for another 2 years of grind.
LS with small content release is not an answer because people get it done fast and log off and after some time they wont log back on because they are busy with other games. as simple as that.

I udnerstand that some people want to have a change of scenery and thats good, but ESO is not near to compete with GW2

So you’re saying that the 2000 player PvP campaigns on a map that’s 20x the size of GW2 borders, complete with rankings and PvE/roaming content doesnt compete with GW2 WvW?

What do people want this hypothetical expansion to include, really? Just PvE? I dont know about you but I want better World vs World. It doesnt matter if Anet would release a massive PvE expansion – what draws me and many others into GW2 is WvW. I guild raid for hours every night – I barely venture into PvE zones for days at a time. What they have done so far is just bandaid solutions. EoTM is nice, but it doesnt solve issues like coverage/PPT.

These are the kind of people that I fear GW2 is about to loose. What’s left? Roleplayers in PvE? HA! I dont even dare to enter Divinitys Reach anymore, everywhere you go there is a wierd person lurking in a corner.

Once the guilds leave (and all anyone really care about is WvW guilds), GW2 will be a hollow shell.

You’re overlooking that PvE style games and game play will always be the biggest draw to any RPG. Quite simply, keeping PvE players around it what pays the bills.

The fact that there’s been nothing permanent added for 18 months, and now a few different options are coming along, should terrify the people at Anet. The very people who statistically spend the most money on games are about to have options that they may leave for.
