Guild Wars 2

There are some things to be considered here. Anet could be trolling, hard. 1 class, 3 maps, yada. I have heard this argument but there could be far more than we realize that will be released. That said, if there isn’t and all they have advertised truly is the meat of the expansion I am extremely disappointed in where Anet has gone from the days of gw1. I paid for guild wars 2. Having to pay an equal amount of money, I expect the same amount of content. There are arguments concerning quality vs quantity which is understandable. But in my eyes it is a time to cost ratio. Amazing voice overs and quests that only take me a night to complete with my friends is not worth $50. Do I want swaths of crap content that lasts a month? no. There needs to be a balance between quality and quantity which is released at a reasonable price point.

That aside, expecting loyal players who have already paid for the original release to pay an equal amount again while new players get the original content for free is unfair. You want to money grub fine, then make new layers have to pay 110 dollars for the standard version and see how far you get. 60 for the original and 50 for your expansion. I would be comfortable paying 35 dollars for the expansion. There are a couple things here, either you release smaller expansions at a lower price point or larger expansions at a higher price point. The information released so far does not suit the larger expansion at a higher price point. I am not aiming to undervalue the time and effort that the staff puts into the game but I for one will not buy heart of thorns while new players get the original game for free. If you were looking for a way to alienate your loyal players since beta, since prophecies, since factions, you’ve found it Anet. I really hope this is all a rouse and you have massive surprises planned worthy of kitten price tag. Yes the changes you are making are significant but relative to the content in the rest of the game I am left underwhelmed.

Edit: The auto mods are horrid. It changed $50 to kitten. yet not when I stated it above. Why is the price considered censor worthy? Anet please just tell us the scope of the expansion. Not all the hype details but we need to know, are we buying a kiddy pool or an Olympic pool for 50 bucks. Then you can hype us about the toys in the pool.

I would like a key bind to be created for Guard/Passive. Clicking on the small little button in the middle of running or fighting is difficult. Having a key to change pet tactics would be much more efficient. The other pet skills are F1-4. Can guard/passive be F5? or have it just be assignable? like swim down? its there as default but not bound?

Thanks Anet.
