1. Leave half the servers the way they are now.
2. Take the other half of the servers and disable FotM.
3. Block server transfers from one version of the game to the other.

Keep both groups happy. GW2 Regular, and GW2 Light.

(and for your coders… IF GW_Client=Regular THEN Agony_Enabled=True.)

I love the concept of a random dungeon that gets harder the more you play it. What a great idea! In fact this is the first dungeon I’ve even tried in GW2. because it sounded fun. But now I see that it has a gear grind attached, that requires finding specific groups of people that believe themselves ‘elite’ because they’ve done the dungeons over and over again. In a few weeks it will be hard if not impossible to join groups.

I’m like cosmetic gear, but I hate grinds. Put fancy stuff in the shop and get rid of random chance chests. Maybe I want a flaming axe cosmetic skin and would pay 5 dollars for it. Like many others, I came to this game to play for fun, not as a replacement for a second job. I log in for a few hours to enjoy my time, not waste it.

I want to spend my money in the game on cosmetic/convenience items and play for fun. I want to play WvW to feel part of a community. I don’t want to play the same content 40 hours a week to get +15 hit points and a shiny blue logo by my character name to say ‘I am so great, bow down to me peasants’.

Why not just start charging 50 gems for each entry to the Fractal dungeons. and just help people to make up the mind on where to spend their time and money quickly. Same concept, only the elite may apply… but instead of those with best gear, only the rich/wealthy will stay. Isn’t that what the company is after now? It sure isn’t trying to make money on cosmetic items…
