Arenanet needs to realise (or NCSoft) that so called “casual” players are not going to give them big profit in long terms.
Why not?
Cause it’s impossible, that is why all those f2p games are mostly p2win, cause there are many players who will pay hundreds of dollars MONTHLY just to be better then others.
So… that’s it? Whales allegedly buying their way to ‘victory’?
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Yesterday’s college kid playing WoW is today’s gamer with a job and/or a family. There’s a market out there for gamers with not-as-much time on their hands fondly remembering days of yore in Azeroth and Norrath, that’s one of the markets Anet is hoping to take advantage of.
