Guild Wars 2

(“This is my story.” ..and my feedback to HoT expansion)

I bought Guild Wars 2 as soon as it came out. I was able to play in beta and hopefully contribute to what a great game that Guild Wars have become. I remember the struggle about buying the game being a teenager and getting all the savings to invest in this game. Right in the first hours of playing it I felt that was a great buy. I’m not that constant player of Guild Wars 2, not having great time sure doesn’t help but even though I’m still convinced that GW is the best MMORPG that I have played, which make me return a few months ago with some friends that bought the game recently.

The issue that I’m struggling with is that my friends will receive the refund and are going to buy the expansion and I want to buy it too but I’m really concerned. The money I spend in the release of the game and spending the same amount to buy the expansion makes me feel that I won’t have the same level of satisfaction. I’m not even talking about buying the copy of the game again but paying 45 € all over again it feels like all the support that I gave to GW2 wasn’t really appreciated. I’m not aware of your costs on developing the game but I think a discount to old players would give us the idea that heart of thorns is some what special for us. All of us playing the game made it possible to get a expansion. That character slot sure is something but it feels wrong that players that didn’t really experience Guild Wars 2 will get basically Heart of Thorns for free and all the content with it and old players that experience a great part of the game must accept the same price just for the expansion + character slot.
