Guild Wars 2

You see I don’t believe that Anet thinks the expansion alone is worth $50 but I could very well be wrong and it could be worth that much. There is a simple way for Anet to stand by their statement that the expansion is worth $50 to existing players and they are just giving the game away to help new players get into the expansion.

If the base game is now free as you say then make it free. Where can my friends who never bought GW2 get their copy of the free game to download? After they play and enjoy the free gift of the original game they can decide to buy the $50 expansion just like the rest of us.

Or you could just understand that it’s a new player bonus and nothing more or less than that.

Pull your head out of your kitten and stop twisting things to suit your warped world view.

Lol, no please.

I don’t know how long you have been around, but every time ANet made the game “free”(trial weekend, etc.), there is a huge surge of bots and you will get gold spam everywhere you go.

So as much as I think $50 is bit on the high side, please do not make the base game free.

Lol I don’t think the game is free or the expansion is worth $50. Those are the things Anet has been saying to me. I think the game is worth $10 or $20 and the expansion worth $30 or $40 and a character slot and the $50 they are trying to charge is that high for very little reason.

Then they shouldn’t say that the core game included is “free” in their bundle. Period.

IF (yeah, still thinking about it) I bought the expansion pack, I’d expect to have a free base game (so I can give it to someone), but that won’t be the case even though they said otherwise. I won’t even have a free character slot. LOL

If it is included in your purchase you paid for it. Saying it’s free is just a marketing tactic used to trick people into thinking they are getting a good deal and it works cause there is a sucker born every minute. It is a good deal for a new player coming into the game. For those that already have the game having a free core game has no value or incentive, even less for those that have multiple accounts already.
