Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand the ‘whys’ but I do understand the patches. They indicate a lack of understanding around good design for open world PvE. I think that’s pretty much what’s going on with the patches.

I recognize issues where by account limits the viability of alts in the game. With 15 character slots, I am quite sensitive to that. I hope Anet uses the alt filter more, i.e., asking “what would this be like for a player with all the professions maxed?”, when making decisions.

That said, I think the wallet itself is the largest quality of life improvement since launch. No more juggling currencies and, say, locating the character with 64k karma for a T3 weapon purchase, then buy an level 0 item and tranmute it, and then put it in the bank for the character that really wanted it. I like the wallet.

Hopefully, we will not see a traditional expansion. I believe it would much better to evolve the living world in a natural manner, similar to how our world evolves. The expansion has been de rigueur in terms of the old formula, but there is really no need for it. I can live without the disruption.
