Stop relating to WoW’s level cap, gw2 doesnt have this and you look like an idiot. The elite specs are new so people want to use them, you’re right. but when someone that has never played engi before runs a scrapper and beats experienced players just because the class is overpowered. a normal engi vs a scrapper the scrapper is bound to win. And this i believe is what Anet tried to do by getting as much pocket money out of all of you that have purchased HoT because you PAYED MONEY FOR IT the classes ( or Elite Specs) are going to be stronger than the normal class itself, and if eventually Anet realises this, they still won’t make Elite Specs balanced to normal classes? why would they? you have payed money to get the elite specs so why would they give people who have payed money an equal chance to play the game towards people who only have the orginal GW2. it’s simple. why would you?
I’m sorry when someone brings up the term pay to win, in relationship to the expansion, then it’s absolutely fair to bring up other games, to see if they are pay to win. WoW does raise the level cap. You can’t compete if you don’t buy the expansion. Therefore, according to this odd definition. WoW is pay to win. So is every other game that raises the level cap. You can’t compete unless you buy the expansion.
Guild Wars 2 didn’t raise the expansion. You can, in fact, still compete without having the expansion. Therefore, Guild Wars 2 is less pay to win than any of the competition.
As for claiming I look like an idiot for bringing up a valid point, I’d appreciate it if you’d refrain from name-calling in the future. It doesn’t make your argument any stronger.
you’re right about being able to still compete, although people have an unfair advantage because they bought the expansion, which relates to the term pay to win? comprende

I have played maplestory for plenty of time and this expansion is exactly the same, its just not as extreme as what Maplestory is. it’s okay to defend the expansion if you clearly purchased it but you gotta face the facts
Maplestory is probably a bad example.
But other typical mmorpg raise level cap in their expansion. How are you going to pvp in those games?
I can tell you no one playing those mmorpg ever talk about pay to win.
That’s because, like stated above 9/10 people agree that bringing out the Elite specs in regards to competitive aspects of the game ( so not regarding PvE ) has made them much stronger, for example. I don’t remember a normal Tyrian Gw2 Guardian auto attacking for 3.4k dmg every second and a half with a longbow, and then using another skill on the longbow that has a 6 second cooldown that does almost 10k damage. Or maybe a revenant who has basically all classes put together to make it, if a thief fights a revenant (even though thief has been turned into a evade spamming button mashing class now which is why i don’t main it anymore) what can it do? thief only has so much stealth and if you don’t have the expansion you can only dodge twice instead of dodging 7 times to evade a simple revenant sword 3 skill. ( i forgot to add that this also adds evasion to the attack aswell making it even more stronger.) HoT was added to give an unfair advantage in competitve terms of the game which is why myself and many others above are calling it P2W.
If this game is pay to win then every MMO expansion for every game is pay to win. Not really what the term was meant to designate.
Pay to win was when you had to continually use microtransactions to stay current. Look up games like Maple Story. This game is not P2W. They’re selling an expansion.
In just about every MMO expansions raise the level cap, and you need to buy them to compete. Not sure why you think this is different.

Hi Anet just to let you know you have ruined guild wars (in my eyes) with this new expansion and have made the game Pay to win/Pay to Expand. The fact that classes people have never played before or even for a few minutes can just spam skills and do mass amounts of damage while being sustainable is a joke.I know you may change this but you can’t nerf these classes hard enough to lose against Original Tyrian gw2 without an unfair advantage. Hopefully you have realised this already and understand that people quit for this reason of you guys trying to make more money but making the game worse. Just an opinion pls post all your thought below ty.
Hi, i have pimped out my necro and the final touch i need is the black wings, i can finally buy them now (well, have enough too) but they aren’t there anymore! i spoke to a fractal dev in game about them but he said he couldn’t help but would ask for me. Please bring them back!
Hi, i was told to come here to submit a post about the black and white wings that used to be in the gemstore. PLS BRING THEM BACK!! i have about 6 friends that want to buy them with gems and we are hoping sincerely tat this post gets some attention!!!! Thankyou for ready devs
please help! the blackscreening has attack at random times, whether it be when i am running in a group in WvW or whether it be when i am doing some pve. i have lowered my graphics, updated the latest ATI driver and it just randomly goes black, i can move my mouse but the whole screen is black. ANET told me to hide all windows programs by searching “run”>MSCONFIG>services>Hide all microsoft services>disable all>“startup”>disable all>“ok”>restart computer, but then when i restart my pc and go back into MSCONFIG, most of the boxes are ticked again. i have sent more reports in but no reply so far, please help!!!
