I post here and there on the forums I see Vayne post all the time on here. I am a casual long time player. I play pretty much every day I may or may not do anything in the game. That depends on if I feel like it or not.
I played GW a lot also. In that game I played over 22,000 hours over like 8.5 years before GW2. Yes I did not have a so called life where I partied all the time, or had the money for it. I also figured out one major thing. Anet makes games that will be around for years like no other. So I never really worried if I did not get this or that because I knew I would get it sooner or later. I also have over 9000 hours in GW2 Shhhhh don’t tell anyone.
I played a lot fewer MMO style games than most have though. Only two actually and not sure if one was considered an mmo or not that’s Runescape. The other was Star Wars Galaxies. Although I did not play SWG much due to its sub fee. Which reminds me GW2 in my opinion is a sub fee quality game.
Anet will not do that, because they love this game just as much as we do. Of course they want to sell us stuff, but only if we want it never if we need it. They do not force us to buy stuff to increase their profits. They also use those profits to either add content or fix the game. People have to realize Anet has over 350 employees that deserve a decent paycheck just like everyone else. Sales of the game and Money paid for gem store items helps make a great game.
I pre purchased GW2 while I was playing GW so I been with Anet since 2006 about the time Factions came out,that’s how long I have played GW and GW2
