I feel betrayed by Anet and this announcement. I’m a long time GW1 player with 5 level 20 toons with max gear (functionally). It feels good knowing that the playtime I put into those characters won’t be arbitrarily scaled down.
I’m a casual player, although I’ve been putting in 20+ hours per week in GW2 because it’s so much fun. My goal was to get 8 level 80s with exotic gear, thinking that that would be it….I would be set and could play new content or PvP with whatever I wanted and wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
Will I quit? Not yet…I know the good Anet is still in there…somewhere! I’ll pick a class and play it exclusively for a while to see how things turn out. I’m not buying any more bag, character, or bank slots, though, so take that! ha!
