Guild Wars 2

I guess you don’t know how the relationship works.
Arena Net MAKES the content. NCSoft SELLS the content in A-nets name.

You honestly think their stakeholder has no say on the content? Might want to search for Divinity Reach Cantha. It’s right on this forum as the how and why. Do note from an Asian point of view NCsoft wasn’t entirely incorrect, but they certainly pushed their vision, not Arenanets on that matter.

For previous players…The $50 price tag would be fine, if HoT was the size of a Nightfall-esque Xpac, in other words: almost an entire game’s worth of content. From what we’ve been told, it’s nowhere near that much.

Also Nightfall, you were given 2 character slots if you already owned any other campaign. It shows how Arenanet handled these things in the past vs. now.

Excellent necro.

Well, can’t necro what isn’t dead.

Excellent bump!

No “veteran” is asking for it to be removed, surely a few do but those are not the majority or will ever be.

It is also not weird that new players get an easier way in, ofcourse Anet wants new players. Any veteran can understand that.

What most veterans cannot understand is that there is simply no benefit, at all for them. If we look at GW1 it was very simple. You bought a campaign while you own a game? That gives you 1 additional character slot, that is what most people have been asking.

Giving free copies? Great, more players! But why are veteran players, loyal players, those who have given free advertisement for 3 years a choice between “make a new account and you get more or get less in value”. Does that sound right? It certainly doesn’t feel right to me.

There is another debacle about the game being sold due to hot sales (10$/€) and they got shafted, but in the end veterans care about how they are treated, and at the moment us being loyal is taken advantage off.

You can word it nicely, “it’s free, therefor it holds no value within the 50$!!!” but which sane person really believes that?

Anet outdid themselves 8 years ago. Now it bites them.
