Guild Wars 2

The question is, what is the cost of Seasons? Once again another season has ended and are there less players or more players as a result? If less, will they return, do they return, or do they just fade away from the game? How do you feel about Seasons? Do they enhance and enrich the community or do they break down and reduce the community? Here’s a place to talk about it.

The problem is you can’t (not even Anet) have that because… since season coincided with AA’s launch (official one), huge lag problems for quite some people (specially in EU), some dubious changes, and a big patch.

Seasons are mostly a problem now because anet borked servers with their free/low cost transfers to Gold/Silver servers in S2 and now outside of starting anew there is no way to “solve” the problem (no one in it’s right mind will pay to go to deserted servers in the hope that some others will on all servers to have something roughly balanced and alive IF people transfer in mass AND they spread on various servers, be serious).

Logged into the game maybe 4 times in the past month to dead maps from a complete blowout, I’ve been more active in this subforum(which has decreased a lot). Seasons might enchant some new PvE blood at the cost of annoying and burning out vets but they too will probably sour once they realize what WvWvW is. I think the seasons suck on a massive level, I was barely hanging on after S2 and this season(plus the commander tag debacle and just the weak patch in general) just finished the job.
