Guild Wars 2

Aidan Savage.2078:

Hardly. You paid for access to it. Do you get it if you didnt pay? No. In pretty much ANY mmo in existence, you’ll find that there’s language in the EULA/ToC that amounts to “you paid only for access to the service/product,” not “you paid for something you THINK you should get.”

edit: In fact, from Section 2.a from the gw2 EULA:

You further acknowledge that Your full or partial access to Content, including one or more Message Boards, Teams or Items is conditioned upon Your compliance with the provisions of this agreement and the Rules of Conduct. ArenaNet may modify, remove, or add Content in its reasonable discretion.

Bolding my own to highlight the point soooooooooooooooo many of you people miss.

The issue is not that they took it away. The issue is more so that they MISLEAD us and changed the facts after we paid.

“Hey, friend, I have 400 ecto. Would you like 400 ecto?”

“Yes I would like 400 ecto. Here, have 100 gold.”
“Cool, here’s 200 ecto.”
“What about the other 200?”
“Go kitten yourself, not in the budget.”

You’d be ticked and you know it.

Edit: stupid autocorrect

Alright, where to start?

I suppose I should start by saying I could care less about legendaries. Whatever, it is what it is. I like the option to have them, but they aren’t the be all and end all to me. However, I do not like being screwed over. I wouldn’t go so far as to say we were lied to, but it’s like that beautiful grey area between “lying” and keeping us “hopefully optimistic” that is just grey enough to keep your rear ends off the fire.

About a hundred people have already lit this thread up listing all the crap we were promised and didn’t receive, and a few people had the clang to show up and defend ANet saying “well, it’s for a good cause.” Yeah, and the guy in map chat in DR asking for sticks of butter to “finish his cooking skill” isn’t screwing you over either, I’m sure.

The real issue here is that there are people working on a new expansion pack that we’ve only just heard about now, apparently, when there’s still work to be done on other things. Not even the legendaries, but how about the bugs from the OLD living story ffs? All of them over a year old, and most of them riddled with bugs. I know y’all gotta make money, but you need to understand that when we pay 90 bucks for a base game, 100 for a (half finished, whether you like it or not) expansion, and lord knows how much on gems, we need to be respected as your loyal player base. Lying to us, not delivering promises, not fixing the game as it is right now; that isn’t respect and I don’t dig it. The allocation of staff to projects is just all wrong and needs to be rethought, asap, before you deal permanent damageto yourselves.
