Guild Wars 2

Greetings, I’d like to add my voice to those against the recent changes. I am very disappointed with the direction that Arena Net is taking. This new gear progression and the content gating, no matter how slowly they are rolled out, set a really bad precedent for future content. This is not something that I ever expected to see in a Guild Wars product.

Disappointment aside, I am also completely baffled by the move. Guild Wars 1 proved that an MMO can be successful with cosmetic gear progression as part of the “End Game”. For 7 years this worked out just fine. In fact, it worked out so good that a sequel was made. Why fix something that wasn’t broken?

I think that customers who enjoy stat based progression already have plenty of options in the MMO landscape. With Guild Wars 2, Anet had a winning formula that no other MMO provided. It’s part of what made this franchise stand out. Right up until last Friday anyway.

With a few more updates like this one, it won’t be Zhaitan that finally destroys Tyria ^__^

Greetings, I bought a character slot upgrade in the gem store today and for some reason, I got 2 of them instead of one.

At first I thought I must’ve bought 2 by mistake but it looks like I was only charged the 800 gems for a single slot. I realize this is low priority but could a support person remove the extra one? I don’t want to be banned for using this extra slot by mistake!

Many thanks!
