To: ANET STAFF (Plz have think about it)
Perhaps, Heart of Thorns will assuage your concerns.
Good luck.
There is a good chance they will announce an expansion this month, The Heart of Thorns.
Timing is everyone OP. This post, at this moment has no real traction since it seems an expansion, or something like an expansion, is about to be announced.
Shhhhh, don’t tell him. Then when ANet announces the expac next week he’ll be all like SEE! ANEt is the smart, they listen to ME!
I can’t really imagine a universe in which ArenaNet hadn’t already thought about this many times.

if Heart of Thorns its expansion. i am happy about it. late always better then none.
i am afraid this only another LS. (already lost hope on that)
many player rise need expansion a years ago.
but Anet never change their mind.
i really hope Anet staff will consider this time. and reply this post. given some fee back to show, they do consider for it.
in fact, many player given lots of hope to ANET . wish weapon, class, etc
lots of idea. how many ANET had take it to consider.?
bring us back some Hope ANET
Hoping HoT is an actual expansion with a new continent (Cantha? Elona?) with new features. Would bring a ton more players back to the game, just like WoW did with WoD. Great for revenue.
Hoping that HoT isn’t a living story/LS season and all this hype was for nothing.
well the trailer to me only feel like LS for HoT
same hero’s
same weapon ( only weapon different, its look like a spear on sylvari hand at 1:17)
and the logo at last got spiky. just look like those plant in LS
so i wont got any hope for this

So an expansion only counts if it completely disregard the ongoing story and starts with a completely new set of heroes, a completely new story and completely new weapons..?
I am not really sure how much experience you have with games overall, but that is usually not the case when it comes to expansions.

Even if Anet said yes and started working on an expansion today it would take a couple of years before it came out.
If it’s not an expansion your post does nothing anyway.
Expansion thread no. 1.897.147.
Though I agree with your points, the timing makes you look ungrateful towards Anet. They did announce HoT, after all. I just hope it’s an expansion this time, not more of this LS tripe.
I’m just curious. Why do people keep making posts like this?
It’s… dreary and depressing.
Anet ran GW 1 for years. Years. That game system not so far apart from GW 2 in the way Anet makes their money. Breaking all this down in to detail is certainly something I have never given any thought to when I play this game and I am pretty sure many others never gave thought to it either.
Why?
Cause we’re too busy enjoying the game.
But on a regular basis I come here to see someone posting a economic threat about all the things they dislike about the way Anet runs this game.
I don’t get it.
It’s a game. Enjoy it.
From my personal experience in 14 years of MMOs, if any one particular player can not be pleased, no matter what the game company producers, they never sit in one spot for long. I even have several friends in GW 2 that cut in and out of my life cause when they get bored, they move on to another game, yet eventually, they always return.
I see no evidence that ArenaNet is losing players so rapidly that it is threatening the longevity of this game.
For GW 2 and it’s elder: GW 1 being a MMO to play with no monthly fees, I think this game is fantastic. I couldn’t ask for anything more than that. Any money that I do sink into this game is only sunk into it by choice, not by force.
I really wish some people would stop holding ridiculously high standards on their chosen MMOs. To say it’s redundant would be a severe understatement.

Guild Wars 1 didn’t have an official forum. That makes a huge difference.

You’re right… and after discovering this game’s forum and being a veteran visitor of it for 2 years, I’m rather glad they didn’t have one.
i have no idea how Anet gona make their expansion…..IF do have one.
but i found Gw1’s expansion works really well

No one knows except Anet. You’ll just have to wait until the 24th like the rest of us.

@ JUN YANG: I am affected by the hype, I beleave that there is an expansion comming. But sure I will not tear down the world if it’s not, I am happy for cool new features and more Living Stories. Becouse that is why I play games, for entertainment and for me that is mostly the story.
If now there isn’t an expansion for GW2 announced I think that will take a toll on GW2 but I still beleave (Listen I beleave, it is my opinion) that GW2 will live on alot longer and will have a great playerbase.
So my whole point with this is, how the fudge can you claim that the game is loosing players? I would like to see real numbers on this, not just speculations from revenues or what you yourself have seen on the worldmap or noticed the lack of players in Lions Arch.
I think Anet have done a good job, LS chapters could have been a little longer and a little more Voiced over story would have been nice but the last Living Story has been a realy good story with neat Zones, good features and also som bad features. Poeple love the game people hate the game, it would call for a miracle to make everyone enjoy this game, so it doesn’t matter what they do people will still leave the game even if there is to come an expansion. But ofcourse for a while an expansion will make more people play GW2 for a few weeks maby but then we are back on square one.

To Vyne: i dont really care how many years you played MMO. an how you like this game that much all these years. this only your opinion. and how other players say how good the Living Story is.
i ONLY trust what i can see in the game. PLAYER LOSING.
well.. IF Anet Staff saying we are doing really well. player number are twice. and Keep Increasing. thats find. not my businesses. at the end of day this only a game.
well i only hope this game can long last.
by now this what i though and most of left players have the same though…. BORING BORING
if you living in 90s Think about Noka Dynasty back then compare today… why is fallen??? a good company always 24 hrs in battle mind. living in your Victory Only lead you to the end of road. simple is that.

If you’d stop making up stuff and just say what you feel, you’d come across better. You have no idea if this game is losing players or not. No one does, except Anet. Period.
Why not just say what you want, instead of claiming that if they don’t the game will die.
Because you’re probably wrong in that.
To Edgar: the reason i am here the say that is i still have hope for Anet.
i like GW since first launch 05, i stop played that until got news for gw2 release. its a really good memory.
well i wont have the physical number of player losing. only Anet will know. and i dont want to explain to anyone why i got that feel and argue about it.
the only thing i know. Anet ONLY reply positive fee back.
i wrote enough for this post. no matter Anet’s staff see this or not.
Lets hope Gw2 have better future and long lasting.. good luck Anet
Hoping HoT is an actual expansion with a new continent (Cantha? Elona?) with new features. Would bring a ton more players back to the game, just like WoW did with WoD. Great for revenue.
Hoping that HoT isn’t a living story/LS season and all this hype was for nothing.
Lets just be realistic here. Even if HoT is an expansion, there is no way it would unlock Cantha or Elona. We are fighting against Mordremoth. So there wouldn’t be any reason to go to those continents. (at least not the whole continent).

I flip-flop between my thoughts on this. Somedays I agree with you. Some people can make an impressive case for why official forums shouldn’t be there for people like that.
But then at face value, you have to realize it’s not the forums in of themselves that lead to that. It’s the user that is the problem.
The forums are techwise solid. It’s a good setup.
With regards to the greater community minus the toxic element of some of the users, others are brilliant.
You can glean a great deal of wisdom and understanding on an endless variety of topics regarding the game. Among other things.
The community as a whole is very open and willing to help and share knowledge with others. That speaks much for the games community.
At the moment, I’m quite glad for the official forums. For every one gaslighting troll and pessimist kittenhat, there’s at least a Tobias and a Vayne to go with them.
If I could suggest anything for the forums, it would be a block feature to hide users I’m not fond of.
It would give the users a lot more control over who they choose to deal with on the forums.
It’d help the mods. It’d force the more toxic elements of the community to try a little harder or risk being ignored by their peers.
I love how players talking for themselves always somehow have the idea that their idea’s are supported by “Everyone”
EDIT:
Yes, I’m stereotyping “these players” myself now :P
