Battlelord Taeres
After the initial disappointment of seeing the HoT price I have come to the following conclusion. Just wait. My primary reasons for not liking the price are associated with the lack of (or unannounced) content, lack of release date, and lack of character slot.
I’ve played Guild Wars since Factions so I just sort of came to expect atleast 1 free slot as that is what they always used to do.
But after watching bogotter’s video on youtube, I have just realized that I just need to wait and see if its worth it and not get caught up in the current ****storm.
The forum rampage is getting fueled by some of the things that I would have liked by also a lot of nonsense. People are complaining that they got ripped off since they bought the game on sale are the only ones who may have a case to argue about. Everyone else claiming veteran reward stuff is just entitled. You guys got to play the game early, that was your reward.
Hanlon’s razor states “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” and I believe this is the case here. I think Anet did believe the expansion was worth $50 (they have yet to prove that but w.e) and they decided it would have been a nice gesture to people to throw in the base game for free. It was a nice idea but the perception has been of screwing over veterans and I personally have decided this was not the intention.
