Guild Wars 2

Okay while I can see a lot of people are upset that they can not play with their international friends via guesting, heck even I am since I have a few friends in the UK i would love to play with but what it comes down to is the cost. GW2 is a free to play game, with no fee’s, meaning unlike other MMOs they are not seeing steady monthly money coming in from subscribers. A date centre cost money and man hours to maintain not to mention physical space that takes up server rooms. While yes there are many work arounds that people at Anet could do to make it work the fact is that it would cost money. And to those that are saying make ones where it is pay to play or something…I am sorry but what do you not get about the promise that Anet made that this game would remain subscription free? Introducing a paid option will make people feel left out and the ones that wish to play more casually will feel gypped that others are getting a higher experience by throwing cash at the company. The whole point of the game here is community inclusion and with the way they have guesting it works. Adding a paid option would just shun others…look at MMOs that do two types of systems paid and unpaid, the subscribers always look down at the free players, do we really want to start that trend here? Just be happy with what they give you which is an awesome game, an amazing experience and all for a single price of buying the game. In a few years when other games that are without subscriptions begin appearing then you have permission to complain about this feature or that if the hypothetical new games have them or not. Until then just suck it up. transfer and stay in a server where you will have access to play with the majority of your friends and at least be glad that communicating through these different servers is not limited and neither is playing in dungeons.
