Guild Wars 2

Wow…according to this guys, the current state of affairs seems to be:
I do not see mounts ever being added game-wide.
I do not see dueling ever being added as a supported game type, as it would cause either a class balance disaster or a community disaster.
I do not see open world PvP ever added to GW2.
I do not see an expansion being released in a foreseeable future.
I think that no one is going to overhaul the game at this point.
I do not see gear progression or level cap raise implemented in any foreseeable future.
I do not see player to player trading ever added to GW2.
I do not see marriage ever added to GW2, at least in the foreseeable future of active development and before it is abandoned for GW3.

What a depressing thread. I see the mount situation being resolved by little no no speed increases, if you don’t want to do housing do instanced housing to keep it out of the open world.
Gear progression is going to be needed sooner or later, people need something to work towards. Thats only my opinion because I’ve never seen anything else work, and I’m only recently returning after me and my friend left when we realized that once you hit 80 and get your first set of dungeon gear its kind of a story chaser….There seems to be alot more stuff to do so I’m happy now but I hope something comes up in the future.
An expansion can only be positive. We’ve all got our 50$ worth a long time ago, and we want content. Im sure we would all shell out another 50$ for a new continent, maybe one where mounts WONT ruin the game and everyone can have their way. It will also bring players, aka money.
Raids i expect in an MMO with any kind of end game, its the top tier for player coordination.
Those are my opinions, but regardless of anyones opinions these are all issues with people obviously on both sides, and the devs are going to need to take SOME risks on issues like these and pick a side, and for god sakes i hope once in awhile its not the side where nothing ever changes

Ooo awesome info about the Stats/infusion slots and their usefulness with fractals, along with the rest of the ascended info. Thanks CC!

Heck, i dont mind gemming out the episodes, least i can do. I mean, the differences between the community here and the community where i thought the grass would be greener…are simply staggering. I’ve never seen something so toxic in my life. Just seeing two honest and informative responses to a general question is a breath of fresh air.

Hey guys!, so… sad story here. I left a little while back after getting 2 levels shy of level cap for another game, and it was a terrible decision. Im thinking of returning, but with GW2 end game is a bit different than other games as in Living World. Im going to hit cap right after i return, but Living world is going to be far into its progression. Is there a way for me to enjoy anything out of the earlier episodes, and if not is there a decent way to jump into the story without the earlier episodes being completed?

Also, I remember being a bit disconcerted with end game gear, meaning once you hit cap and collect a suit of dungeon gear thats it for gear progression. I can live with that, but am curious if there have been any advances on that front?
