Tons of people are preparing to leave this game once the treadmill sets in.

Tons

O rly? Out of protest? And where are all these tons of people going to go? Before this was announced these people were the biggest GW2 apologists of all, claiming every other game was bad b/c it had a gear treadmill. So…you’re just going to stop playing MMO’s altogether….Or go to another MMO…that has a gear grind… I call shenanigans

One, too many assumptions are being made without all the facts. OMG THE SKY IS FALLING.

Two, there have been a variety of complaints recently related to content that can fit in one of several categories:
a. I’m so bored there is nothing to do/this game has no endgame
b. I’m so bored and there is no one else playing this game…

Ascended gear at this point, is one of the ways Arenanet is trying to grow the playerbase which is a good thing. They have spent so much time saying they are not a fan of gear grinds, so say what you want, but I will reserve judgment until I see exactly how this system works out.

Seems to me more people should, at the very least, be cautiously optimistic, that things are not going to be as bad as people think…
