Lack of new content? 3 new maps, Fractals, dungeon path, EoTM, armor/weapon skins, new gemstore items, LS1 & 2, festivals and new crafting levels are what I can think of off the top of my head.
MMO’s typically don’t put out much content within their first couple of years as it’s spent smoothing over the game and putting in things that were promised but missed at launch. Yet we got all of the above for free!
Maybe you’re new to the MMO world but your expectations need to be checked. Now if the current pace of content continues than next year I might be joining you.
Also, check message boards and forums for spare tickets. You can usually find them as people’s plans change and what not.
It’s sad that I actually took the time to make a “thank you” thread rather than the usual complaining, and still get accused of “being new to mmos”. Is this where we compare who’s older and who’s been playing online games the longest? Kudos if you win, but I don’t think I’d bet on it.
Do we need to bring up GW1 and the amount of content and features it saw added in this same time frame? That’s my preferred example anyway; others like to use other games like FFXIV. Heck, even the original EQ has seen 21 xpacs in 15yrs. True, not all themepark games get lots of content added, some do. The ones that do tend to be more well regarded for it, and that used to include GW.
Maybe next time you shouldn’t lead your “positive” thread with the first paragraph filled with negativity. Comparing an MMO to an online-RPG is apples to oranges as well.
Plenty of new content has been released for a 2 year old MMO. Of course we want more because we all enjoy this game and I would be more than happy to see an XPac in late 2015;-)
Happy New Year!
Sure, lot’s of content has been released. That’s good. But the bad part? Not the right kind of content, the stuff we the community have been begging for since the launch of the game. We want new maps, we want new classes, we want new skills, new weapons. What do we get? Gem shop after gem shop crap. There is a limit. The content was also released using the worst possible medium. After the first few living story updates, the community already complained relentlessly about it. Only after a whole season they decided to change it, but still it the amount of permanent and repayable content out of living world is nothing but atrocious. There is only one way to save the game now from it’s very foreseeable demise. That is an expansion, or an overhaul of the current game adding in “real” content for the players, or else more and more veteran players will quit from the complete lack of things to do.
