Guild Wars 2

GW2 has been a casual MMO for 3 years, that will not change, even if the devs want it to, and they have only themselves and their design directions to blame for it

I had fully unlocked Dragon Hunter before they rolled back the cost in Hero Points. Thanks to having 100% central Tyria completion and trying to get as much as I could while learning the layout / strategies on the maps I was playing on… along with finding people to help with those champion points! It just came along as I was playing.

I won’t say my 12 alts (9 sylvari counting my main one for every class, +1 of each race) will have it that easy, but even with the cost of 400 it’s not something I was dreading accomplishing. By the time I finished things up with my main and got alts out to HoT areas they would have all the masteries they needed to pick them up fairly easily.

All that being said, I think the change was a good thing. I do feel that some of the maps are quite off-putting if you aren’t ready to sit down and try and learn how it works without hand holding.
