Seems the clueless people befell this thread so far….

hy do original players have to pay $50 TWICE to get what new players will get come expansion??
It IS an issue!
Original Players: $50 for GW2 + $50 for Xpac
New Players: $50 for Xpac/ INCLUDES Original Core Game
Not fair at all to those who bough the game originally.
A Free character Slot is NOT worth the extra $50 at all.

Maybe it’s time to move on to something less money mongering.

Good Luck all.

I look at it as a discount. I think they are money mongering with the gem shop. I think that needs to go. Its offensive to pay for a B2P game and expansions, and then all the drops are in the gem shop. Its the main reason I will not buy the expansion ever.

I payed for GW2 8 months ago, I am not paying again. It’s RIDICULOUS!

So you bought the game after the expansion announcement? Then you could have got a refund.

I didn’t know about the expansion until recently. I havn’t played much and real life happens for some, more than others. Thanks

Oh, btw, you have to request the refund within 30 days of purchase. Pretty small window.
But that’s irrelevant…Read my posts above………………….. again.

And as has been pointed out -

Original Players: $50 for GW2 + $50 for Xpac – 3 years play time, able to play currently unplayable content (LS season 1), LS season 2 was available for free, easy access to certain skins (spinal blades/jetpack).

New Players: $50 for Xpac/ INCLUDES Original Core Game – did not have 3 years game time, unable to play stuff like LS season 1, has to purchase LS season 2, difficult to access certain skins (spinal blades/jetpack).

Hi Assuming Individual….What makes you think everyone that payed for original all started 3 yrs ago?
Stop posting please.

Bottom Line: Those who bought the Game BEFORE the Xpac should get the Xpac FREE.
New Players get the same thing for the same price.

How hard is that to understand??

The biggest slap in the face is actually your way of thinking. You bought a game 3 years ago, got Living story 1 and 2 for free, plus multiple updates and improvements. Now they are bringing out a new expansion, something we have all been asking for for ages, and you manage to complain about it. Some people will never be happy about anything.

So to answer your question…

REALLY!!

I’ve been here 8 months. Stop Assuming like a typical MAN.

This is not about getting an expansion. It’s about paying more for what we already have.
Think a little before you type.

Electro.4173:

The devs have said that the $50 price tag IS the price of HoT. Just HoT alone.

They’re just throwing in the base game in as a free bonus to make it easier for new players to come in, rather than requiring them to buy the base game and the expansion separate.

Now, whether you agree with that or not is up to you, and I’m sure a lot of people don’t. But considering that is Anet’s official stance on the matter, the chance of them changing it is pretty slim.

The point of the OP is:

Why do original players have to pay $50 TWICE to get what new players will get come expansion??

Since GW2 is going F2P and people have to purchase the Xpac for all the “Good Stuff”,
wouldn’t it make sense to let people who already payed for the original game to get the Xpac for free?

Original purchasers of this game have to pay again while new players get the original for free and only have to pay for Xpac to get it all?

Veterans pay Twice, New Players Once!?

So Arenanet, you are telling me you want my money AGAIN after I already payed you for the game just so I can access the important features of the game (which come in Xpac)

REALLY?!?!

I’d love to meet new friends in a new game. I have no server yet but I plan on playing on a PvE US EST if I can, once I finish downloading and logging in.

Is the download mega slow for you too?

Maybe ill make a new guy on a server on the east coast and we can level

Hi,
I can’t tell which server is located where and I’m on east coast also. I’m just going to pick one I guess.

I’d love to meet new friends in a new game. I have no server yet but I plan on playing on a PvE US EST if I can, once I finish downloading and logging in.

Hello,
I just got the game as it was on sale and I am curious which server to choose that is New Player friendly?
I’m downloading still so I’m just looking ahead.

Thank you all.

I’m ready to try this game out.
