It would have been a good time to relax some of the build-in annoyances for the core game for b2p-players in tandem with establishing the f2p restrictions? (Bigger inventory/ more bank space, easier wardrobe change (no more transmutation) and probably other stuff too that I can’t think of now.

So much left that I wanted to see…

In-Game Mail:

Can only send to mutual friends
Can’t send gold or items

Please make weapons and armor mail-able. Why? So if a free player has a weapon he can’t use, but his friend can, then he can mail the item to him.

Make it restricted like the Black Lion TP is instead of locking it entirely.

Weapons and armor aren’t stackable. So sending 5 yellow weapons and armors won’t do much to encourage RMT. Maybe just restrict it to crafting materials or anything that can stack and expensive exotic items/legendaries/precursors.

All this doom and gloom, I think F2P core is quite nice. They should do full F2P for GW Prophecies and PVP access too. Free players BTFOing communities is such a ridiculous myth. It’s never happened. Frugal or poor people aren’t automatically bad people. There’s a lot of people playing the competition’s games because things like TERA and Neverwinter have lower barrier to entry. Arenanet is doing away with that barrier to entry. Those games do not have lower quality communities at all. There’s just as many kitten hats and trolls in pre free to play GW2 as there is in the free play competition. Get over your wallet and be happy for those who can now enjoy the game you love who couldn’t before.

Don’t worry, the economy will be ok. We put a lot of effort into keeping it protected.

Uh huh, sure……

You uh, read the restrictions on what they can and cant do, right?

Yeah, but I’m not stupid enough to trust that Anet is going to have the community’s best interest in mind.

My issue is not with Anet, but with Nexon’s influence. If you don’t know their history of destroying every game they touch with crazy pay walls then you should look it up. And make no mistake Nexon had some influence here.

Nexon doesn’t have or ever had any influence. Same old crazy talk from someone who doesn’t understand how corporations work. And to beat you to your next crazy talking points.

  • Nexon never had any seats on the board of directors of NCSOFT and when they tried to earlier this year they failed. They have no influence.
  • Crystin Cox worked for ANet before she worked for Nexon and was hired back before Nexon bought stock in NCSOFT.

You get two tin foil hats.

Negative, ghost rider.

It’s an odd scenario you’re presenting no less. Two F2P friends wanting to send each other gear? These are some learned newbies, seeing as it came out just today.

You’re obviously not a F2P user since you’re posting here. If you have F2P friends, why not help them out yourself?

I have mixed feelings about GW2 going Free-to-Play. From a business perspective, it would have been smarter for A-Net to do a level cap at 60 because it would have forced a purchase decision and questioned “Did you enjoy GW2 enough to purchase the full game?” As it stands now, many players will level a character of two to 80 and move onto greener free MMORPG pastures. Less chat options and inventory space are really not that restrictive to the casual, bypassing player

Can’t any company in this industry maintain its business and artistic integrity? This crap happens so much these days I am seriously on the cusp of giving up on video games period. Back to chapter books and pen & paper RPGs at this point, their creators don’t rip out your beating heart to keep investors happy.

Because, even if for free, I wouldn’t desire to play a game I consider unappealing and\or unfairly expensive for what it has to offer. Even if I can play for free, why I need to spend time in-game if that time wont bring me any enjoyement?

It’s not just me, there are many other people I know that feel the same and we all ended up uninstalling the game to make space on our HDDs.

It doesn’t matter, quitting holds no meaning in B2P/F2P games. If you stop playing then you can just start again whenever. Its only when it’s a sub based game that quitting actually means something.

Indulge me, but you’re partially wrong.

When a significant part of a server population quits, no matter if it’s Free to Play or Fee to Play, things will become grim for the company. It’s not only the missing income from the fee which can take down a game, there are outside forums, word of mouth, social network. If someone quits it won’t generally do a good advertisment to the game, on the contrary if asked about his opinion he would not advice people to play it, or in this case to upgrade to either Core or HoT.

Especially if it’s a Veteran who had spent many hours, what you’d think new players would say if such a person came to tell them that ANet doesn’t care and that all their hopes are going to be let down in the future?

Since the only choice a F2P has is buy HoT it doesn’t matter. Unless they are totally satisfied running under the various restrictions when they are 80, they are likely to buy HoT.

That would only encourage players to shun F2P users.

Ideally, people won’t be tools and use F2P accounts to mess with WvW. It’s still too new to tell what’s going to happen, so it’s up to the players what happens in that regard.

If it becomes a problem, simply restrict F2P accounts to the Edge of The Mists for WvW. Issue is solved instantly.

I’m also not sure we’ll see them relying more heavily on the gem store. This is essentially a glorified free trial—the end goal isn’t to have a population of long-term F2P players, but to bring in a bunch of new players who will eventually buy Heart of Thorns.

What I mean is, I think we can expect them to funnel new skins to the gem store at about the same rate they do now (i.e. too much, but clearly we put up with it already).

My only concern about this decision is, usually f2p areas/servers are hell in other games. Lots of immature behaviour, which makes serious players rush into paid accounts or member servers. The only problem is, we can’t do that, since f2p is mixed with paid accounts. The only option would be to hide in HoT area after the release, but I also would love to do my daily world bosses without having to deal with “f2p scum”.

I absolutely hate this change, and I can not express amount of my hate toward ANET’s policy tonight and toward this specific free-to-play change.

I haven’t expected this announcement to be so fkd up and devastating.
But ANET did it like they always do.

This means GW2 failed as mmo, as any other that switched to F2P policy shortly after(TERA, TESO etc…). It failed because there was no end-game content in the time to entertain us vetarns, but there where made unnecessary changes to whats not broken(TP, NPE, STORY CHANGES, INVENTORY, UI).

This means that developers will receive less money hence new players will be 10 year old whining kids that will resent everyone around and poison the community.

I, who played GW2 since the very start, for 3 YEARS AND INVESTED QUITE AMOUNT OF TIME AND REAL MONEY INTO GW2 ADDITIONALLY , only to get ugly looking skin on my charr(which has worst armors out there) and middle finger in my face saying:

THANK YOU FOR INVESTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY IN US, ALL WE CAN DO IS GIVE YOU THIS SKIN. NO GEMS, NO SPECIAL ITEMS NOR ABILITY TO DECIDE WHAT I COULD CHOSE AS 3YEARS OLD GIFT + VETERANSHIP.

But hey, thanks for your money. Thank you for buying infinite SAB coin that you will never use again. Because you guys bought this game we decided to make it FREE TO PLAY so 10 year olds could join. Lets not make it even 10, no, 5 bucks. But nope, NO refunds or kitten given whatsoever.

We can expect much more toxic community , economy fall and above and community driven by 10 year olds. Thanks ANET.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW I FEEL AFTER 3 YEARS OF LOVE WITH THIS GAME?

I feel so betrayed. So brutally FUC**D. All this love toward this game.. all gone….

TL;DR: Just another ex-fan that feels fkd by latest change of ANET. RIP GW2, you will be missed.

I think 2 slots is fine, as far as improvements go, I think they should map chat in a restricted form.
Partly for this reason I posted earlier.

Just read a good point on reddit.
I think F2P players should be allowed to use map chat with some restrictions. (unlocked at a certain level, and a short timer in between messages)

I can see it now.

“Why didn’t you call the event?”
“I’m F2P.”

And you’re not doing the same trying to be funny without being ? or at least contribute to the discussion ?, the point of Heylel , is that Anet is not thinking of the veterans, they could at least give a discount on HoT or do something to really appreciate the years of support these players .

Don’t even get me started on veteran players LOL you have gotten so much more out of this game then anyone with a free restricted version will ever get or even the free core version with the purchase of HoT.

I think 2 is already too much, and as everything which supports F2P players, my answer is:NO

EDIT: Why does so many people try to help f2p players?? You got the game, why do you care about them? They didnt buy it, they shouldnt get anything extra…

TL;DR: Just another ex-fan that feels fkd by latest change of ANET. RIP GW2, you will be missed.

I presume you didn’t read the list of restrictions for free accounts, did you?

Why do you think Anet made all these restrictions in the first place?
F2p usually attracts bots, scammers, shouting kids, trolls and other people you don’t want in this game. That’s why a lot of people are concerned.

That question goes both ways; why are people against f2p players? It allows more people to try the game and if it is for them, they will purchase it and keep the population going.

I assume that the majority of immature players will try the game, see all of these restrictions and become so annoyed by them that they won’t stick around for long. Mature players will understand the restrictions and if the game is for them, they will purchase the full edition.

At least that is how I hope the situation will come about, and I understand that it is not entirely likely to happen.

People are getting way too emotional over this, from business perspective I think this was a very good decision, and a fair one.

Well, personally I only had bad experiences with games that went f2p or had f2p servers. I can’t think of one game that has a nice f2p community. Now the veteran players are forced to mix with the f2p players (sorry for all those nice f2p newcomers, I really don’t want to insult you). That’s why I am worried about this move from Anet.
