Q:
Season 2 Paywall
I’m not sure anyone requested a price tag on permanent content, unless it had the word ‘expansion’ associated with it.
I think the Season Two method of delivery for content sounds fine, it gives an incentive for logging in. Some will always find issues, even if said issues haven’t arrived yet, or may never arrive.
ArenaNet will never please everyone. Much like most things in life.
I honestly really enjoy the new living story design. I spend most of my time in wvw, so I usually don’t complete the living story during the 2 weeks it’s available
I think most people just come on the forums to rage at a-net. that or they’re just extremely negative people… I’m not sure :P
Druid main, 80 on all, Legendary ranked, Eternal and all that jazz (I go by Feyris in game)
I love the concept myself, and as the ending of the last season hinted new maps, that may also mean new enemies and thus new skills, on top of the confirmed new instances… sounds like an expansion to me ;3
some people rage about getting expansion-content for free (maps, skills, weapons) while having to pay for missed story episodes. LOL they really must be frustrated that there is less and less to complain about.

How can you ask for a paywalled content? After months of absence I wanted to come back to the game because of the recent patches, but only thing thats greets me is a hand that want to grab my money. Now I dont want to play anymore, hell, there is nothing to do if you’ll not pay for it (only pvp is left).
I have a question regarding this. I have no problem paying extra for another story, but when do I actually need to buy it, and how does it work? I’m only level 43 so I’m not even through the original stuff.
Do I buy it now and it unlocks after I’m done getting to 80? Or are there other things to do after level cap first?
edit just realised a high caliber Necromancer rose this topic from the dead…
Why not ressurect this topic? Its still important issue. This makes GW2 something strange between B2P and subscription based game. Its very bad thing for new players and returning players. You must pay to either catch up or even get to know the story. Plus you pay for the loot you can get from those story events. Either you play when the developer wants you to play or pay up.
Flutters you can buy season 2 at any time and it will be ready for you when you reach 80.
I believe Anet is doing a good job with the LS and if a player cant log in for the 5 seconds it takes to collect the LS during the 2 weeks its live then they deserve to pay the gems for it. No reason why players who took time off the game should have the same benefits as those of us who played this whole time.
Eh. Anything that has a cash shop usually has a load of Bullkitten that goes with it.
I hate cash shops. Feels like I’m being inconvenienced by design. Especially with F2P games.
Not to mention the gems for gold system. They pretty much became gold sellers with a shiny UI. I’d be okay with this if gold were easier to make and we could exchange it for more gems but for some reason they seem to nerf the ways people can make gold in game.
slighty suss yo.
Intention or no not it still looks shady as hell.
I’d rather a sub really.

Would a sub stop a game from having players buying gold from other players using an ingame cash shop method? The World of Warcraft says, No. They now have a way for players to buy gold from another player with real money. Instead of buying gems from the company, they buy a token from the company and sell that.
A Golden Opportunity
“Time is money, friend—but sometimes one is harder to come by than the other. Now World of Warcraft players can exchange gold and game time using an item called the WoW Token. Read on to find out more!”
(By the way, WoW just nerfed gold making in game for level 80s by randomizing which garrison missions go to which alt. Now the most gold making missions can go to an alt not fully set up for them)
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

They should focus on fighting the gold sellers, not become gold sellers. O_o
There are websites that still sell GW2 gold for less than what Anet is offering. Not to mention other in game items.
They’ve not helped the problem, they have become apart of it imo.
gold in this game is pretty easy to make, not sure what you’re complaining about templar
