Guild Wars 2

So I’m definitely not the only person who noticed this but..

Why do we have to pay 49.99 USD for Heart of Thorns and the base game together, when we already own the base game?

New players get to come and buy both for a much cheaper price than the actual veterans of the game, what gives?

In the shop there’s an upgrade and it costs the exact same price, this is.. really stupid.

Why would we pay for the base game twice? This is making me avoid buying the expansion, I would like to, but why am I gonna pay twice??

Doesn’t seem to make sense to me.

Happy reading.

tl;dr of that thread. Core game free for new player that buy HoT so do not have to pay two time to get full game. Core game now also free to play with many restriction. Veteran did have offer for free character slot for prepurchase HoT. You do not buy core game again you buy expansion and do not get another core game. If you do not think worth price for expansion do not buy it.

To be honest, I made mistake and prepurchase expansion day Anet announce it. Wish I did not because I do not like it. But you should read about expansion in post here and review and decide on you own.

Other MMO’s are starting to do this too. You buy the expansion and other expansions (if there are any) and the core comes with it. Not sure why this is a problem with some that play GW2.
