Guild Wars 2

I’ve played Guild Wars since the first game’s launch and I like the franchise, the products are always worth the money Anet charge and I have enjoyed all of them. None of us know what the full expansion will contain but I see no reason to go nuts and claim “its not worth it!” or “I’ve been tricked” when the company has come through in the past.

I don’t understand whats happened to the debate here. You seem to all have latched onto a FAQ change, did you all buy your first copy of the game 2 weeks ago? We still don’t know when the release date is and if its still a long way off even those players who bought recently will have had enough play time to justify the purchase. There will always be a number of people who get screwed when something changes value (you know the stock market basicly functions like this).

1. New players get a benefit (this is good for the game – though people seem to enjoy jealousy so they could have sweetened it with existing players get 1 free char slot imo)

2. Its a preorder – don’t get it if you haven’t been sold yet.

3. Its £35 and your money, spend how you want to but I would guess its going to be value for money given most MMO players play time in game.

4. There will be Mursaat.

From reading a lot of posts people seem to have poured a lot of passion into feeling something about the preorder, why are you so emotional? I think people need to calm down and realise there is no ticking clock on buying it and if you aren’t satisfied yet just wait. You haven’t been tricked they are just promoting a new offer on how to buy the game, buy one get one free for shampoo one week does not mean last week’s purchasers have been scammed.

Apparently you don’t play many computer games. Game developers nowadays regularly partake in questionable activity as it concerns the treatment of their fans. It’s quite the topic in the gaming world so people are pessimistic and guarded. That is where this backlash comes from.

I for one did not buy the core/base game 2 weeks ago, I bought it a month and a half ago under the impression (fact) that I needed the core/base game for the expansion. This was with no warning this ‘bundle’ would happen. False Advertising

A shampoo buy one get one free does not compare to this, it’s like more like having a permanent shampoo that now comes with a permanent conditioner…

@ olTThreelo You’re absolutely right, I play GW not lots of other games. I’m just saying that this specific company that makes the specific game we’re talking about hasn’t given poor value for money yet.

@Xeo As I said there will always be some people who end up the wrong side of the price/product change, type /age and see what your money has been worth.

Like I said and many others said on other threads, the group I’m in are in the worst situation (full price for ~month and now another $50 straight up).

I agree but do you think that all this noise on the forums is created by people in your position? (This is why I asked the question in my first post) I think you have a right to be irritated but this gigantic uproar is not from people like you, its from humans who like to feel they are doing something (anything) with fervor. They are being overdramatic and thats all I was posting about.

Sorry if I did go off track, imo vets aren’t entirely entitled the way I see it now and the complaints are mostly valid in terms of the FAQ deception.

It’s when people try to twist the issues to either white knight or show how its more their problem than anyone else’s that is wrong.
