Guild Wars 2

Times change, hard copies are not here to stay. Sad but true
Adapt or be left behind.

Yep, that’s venting alright.

And now… B-R-E-A-T-H-E!

Stuff changes. Just roll with it and find the parts of the new stuff that you enjoy most. If you don’t find those parts then… there are other worlds out there.

But, yeah. Good rant. I give it 8/10.

The world has moved on.

I recommend alcohol :-)

There ARE hard copies going to be available for HoT (I’ve seen a boxed copy personally, Working retail has its perks), I am thinking this is your local shops fault and not ANets. Anyway you can buy it online now if you want it that badly. Still up there, same prices it was before launch. Launch has been smooth for me for the last two hours =)

The ‘hard copies’ are just a piece of cardboard with a code in a DVD case.

Give it a month and just play something else.

You’ll get a hardcopy for $10 in-store or online on ebay. I bought the collectors edition of GW2 with the artwork book and miniature for 20% of retail cost a few weeks after the game went live. Players get sucked in to release date pre-purchase. Don’t believe the hype.

Unless your a “must have it now!!!!” player that has to zerg with the masses just take a deep breath and save yourself the hassle. It’s cheaper to just hold off and most peeps are paying full price to be a beta tester. Don’t be that.

And that way I can purchase it in my own currency instead of the inflated cost at Anets site, plus currency exchange, plus inflated CC charges for the exchange.

The least Anet can do is to follow Steams’ lead and have purchases using the buyers currency.

Ahhh, I’m not angry I just want to pay for my expansion with cash. I don’t care if it is a download. Wish Anet had a game card.
