Guild Wars 2

I made this post to clear the air, and to try and put into better and more polite wording, the community’s negative feelings about the pricing of HoT. This is in response to the hundreds of posts that are vulgar or poorly worded, and simply don’t get the point across very well.

Addressing the Arenanet representative who may be reading this post. As I’m sure you’re aware, many users on the forums have expressed discontent with the pricing of HoT. Many of these posts have been unhelpful, poorly worded, may not have had a proper understanding of the reasoning behind the price, or were generally vulgar. The issue many guild wars 2 veterans have with the pricing is that while newer players are offered a bonus value and lowered barrier of entry; no matter what arenanet’s intentions were, that added value to new players makes the value of the purchase feels disproportionate to purchases of HoT made by veteran players. the fact that new players get a bonus value makes veteran players feel as if the time and money they’ve put into the game in the past isn’t appreciated.

What veteran players have failed to communicate is that what we really want is a purchase that is equal to the value that new players receive when they purchase HoT. We feel the need for some form of compensation or added value to our purchase of the expansion, to show that arenanet values how much we’ve supported the game over the years.

Thank you for your time. I eagerly await your response.
