Haha Stooperdale I agree the gear part can be annoying, but that would be a price worth paying in my opinion.
Yes, please! This would be a great way to do it – soon “Season 1” of living world will be over, and what a great end with an “expansion updtate” so to speak to finish it off and make people interested for season 2. I would love to see a new race, proffession, level cap, continents, ascended gear..
People did not like Season 1 of Living World, but we need to remember that Arenanet is the first ones to try something like this in MMO history, and that Season 1 was alot of experimenting for them. They have probably learned from Season 1 what to do and what to not do, and an expansion to begin Season 2 with to say “Hey, we know we made our mistakes, but come back and give us another chance” would be great.
