Guild Wars 2

I already have 1 account since GW2 started and i decided to make 1 more and bought HoT . I was doin stories on it just for Msteries that give after completin every 10 lvl steps. But wast noticed that i couldn do LW season 2 and LW season3.1, I only can do them with unlockin with gems. On my main account i didnt pay anything on any stories but on new one i have to pay gems for it. it has 8 steps and each step has 2 masteries it makes 16 masteries. I can farm other masteris but some of them need really long way to complete it and i am too lazy for them. I can understand LW season 2 why on sale but why LW season 3 step 1 on sale ? wihtout it i cant continue 2,3 or i cant farm any materials bcoz of i didnt do step1. Its wierd…..

ah, it seems you missed the memo, no worries, I’ll try to explain it in brief:

Living World are.. comparable to DLC or mini-expantions. They cost 200 gems each, and LS2 can be bought in a cheaper bundle since it’s finished.
As a reward for being active, the people who log in when a new chapter goes live, get it for free. It’s a reward for being loyal and active.
On your main acount, you didn’t have to pay for it because you went online when the seasons were live.
Now on your second acount, the chapters are history, and therefore require a normal purchase.

e.g. All acounts that log in now unlock Living World S3 Chapter 3 for free. sometimes soon chapter 4 will come out. At that point, LS3.3 will cost 200 gems and LS3.4 will be free.

Thats the business model for GW2 anet chose. It rewards active participation in the game. The people who couldn’t log in for a period of 2-3 months (not even once for 10 seconds) are considered to be people who didn’t or don’t care about the game that much. The live period is pretty long, and you only need to log in once for 1 second to unlock it.

May I ask why you created a new account and didn’t just buy HoT for your existing one? Doesn’t make much sense IMO to try manage two full-fledged accounts where you level masteries, buy expansions etc.

Since they only seem to be complaining about missing episodes, lets put it this way. It might cost them ~400g to buy those episodes, but selling their login rewards is going to be like 100g a month. For anyone that actually buys gems, you’ll get far more by buying another account.

When you don’t care about your past accomplishments, you might as well register a new account and use the old one for login rewards. You can also use them to multiply your rewards, like having them sit through world bosses for example.

*My both account has HoT. I did mos tof thing including legendaries etc, and Just wanna start from begning again.

*Yeah i missed that notification. Its good thing to give rewards like that to active players but wihtout masteries of that stories hard to complet. Its forcing to buy Story there must be other way to get at least some Masteries.

*Also wihtout season 3 step 1 i cant mine materials or i cant enter map bcoz i didnt do story… That is not fair if i knew these i wouldnt buy HoT totally not worth it

Your account has to be active (logged on at least once) during the LS events. So for the future LS events, just make sure to log on and you can play it at your convenience. I had to buy season 1, due to a year long break, but at least it was offered in that manner. It could be worse, lol.

Well, you can argue its not fair, but in all honesty, if you ever pay for anything with money, take a look at what you get. When you buy hot, it lists everything. Guild halls, elite specs, and hot maps. Its advertised as such. While we can discuss if its fair or not, access to ls3 is not listed on the purchase page.
Its a good lesson, though. Never expect more than whats listed on the bill
