I get where the OP is coming from. There’s a lot of attention that the devs and content crews seem to be paying towards generating revenue through the cash shop. I feel like the business side of ANet and NC Soft think that the amount of money they generate is the reflection of how happy players are with the game, just my opinion on their view. The amount of money we shovel over though is not an indication of how much we like the game though, correllation does not imply causation.
With so much attention being paid to things like cash shop items and the living story (which you’d think would really add a lot of value with lore), it seems like they’re overlooking the importance of telling a good story, and the idea of removing access to the story shows that it’s not very important to the lore. If it was, why would ANet take important content away from the players?
Maybe, all of these living story segments are building up to something big and important in the game’s lore, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it is right now. Ultimately the measure of franchise’s success comes from the storytelling, and how compelling the story is. There’re are these dragon threats out there, there are factions of each playable race that are threats out there (inquest, sons of svanir, etc), there’s orders and a pact that can have storylines, there’s all of these important bigger things in the world, and the lack of development on them that the players see is startling.

Some care. A few of us Norn, fighting every day in Frostgorge sound against the Icebrood and Nasty minions of Jormag. We have plans to go even further as well. Some of them as follows.
A Pet Parade.
Jumping Puzzles sized only for Norn
Redoubling our efforts to keep all torches lit in Frostgorge.
A contest where contestants Duel with Banjos Musically
A contest where contestants Duel with Banjos as Melee weapons.
And stuff where you collect a lot of stuff, make stuff with it, and then maybe get other stuff. Not sure yet.
As you can see, we are ready and willing to take the fight to Jormag. Our tactics, our strategy will prevail!
Ok, I understand that ranger can resurrect himself instantly while he’s down because he sucks anyway but engi-elementalists? they are overpowered arleady with these knockback bombs and yet they are even more ovepowered while they have resurrection.
Don’t think.
Just do your daily.
My eyes. They are bleeding…
In short. Dont go vampiric.
