Guild Wars 2

Erasculio.2914:

It’s simple. It’s not as simple as the extremely naive “NCSoft is a bunch of evil greedy businessmen!!!!!” line of thought, though.

And what you’re ignoring is that all inconveniences can be eradicated by buying in-game gold. Especially things like nerfed drop rates. The person you’re quoting said NOTHING about in-game shop ITEM purchases, just purchasing gold. You made the rest up on your own.

Straw man conquered! Well done.

Erasculio.2914:

Non sequitur. The fact stands that, if ArenaNet were really interested in milking people for all they’re worth through the gem store, they would not have added all the features listed in my previous post.

Lolwut? How does adding/rearranging some bank space change the fact that NCSoft’s only way of making any money on this game from existing players is via the in-game store?

Erasculio.2914:

Now, I’m waiting for your explanation as to how giving everyone more free storage last month fits your “it’s all a big conspiracy” theory.

You’re the only one talking about conspiracies, pal. Seems to me the person you’re quoting is talking about NCSoft standard business practice, not a conspiracy. Or do you not get that business of a game is to make money?

Not interested in supporting a company that can’t stay true to its own manifesto. The Manifesto was what convinced me to give MMOs another chance… shame, really.

Annoying. So now, because they were whining in SPvP, one of the few viable, useful builds for high-level guardians (retaliation build) is now hooped. 5% of the population gets the nerf handed to 95% of the population.
So tell me, Anet, now that retaliation is “more of a counter,” does that mean that our traits will reflect that, or are we stuck with the traits that were based on the OLD retaliation concept while you’ve already brought in the new one?
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
