Guild Wars 2

Haven’t played gw2 in months and decided to come back to check things out. Launch the game and the game patched for over 6.5GB. Then I login to discover that nothing was added…. except the bytes the game take up on the hard drive and Internet bandwidth LOL. Why is it that returning player have to download temp content that was already removed from the game? Great incentive to return.

It is not just content that takes up space.
There are also all the new features, possible future stuff and so on.

Another thing to keep in mind is that stuff might very well come back at a later time, such as Labyrinthine Cliffs is doing on Tuesday, and since they are fully aware about what they will bring back, there is no reason remove it from the live client.

Yeah, it’s not like they just released a huge features patch that changed the way traits, armor/weapon skins and dyes worked or something…

You may have missed this OP.
