The time is it taking me to unlock a mastery for the gated story is beyond a joke… I bought HoT to finally play a good story in GW2, and I am stopped little over an hour in for another mastery to unlock. I played 12 hours yesterday and barely scratched the surface on that poison IV mastery. The experience gain is tiny, and honestly as others have said, I have been quickly ‘put off’ from playing the game. I don’t care about the hero points needed, that’s something that is meant to take time. But grinding to play the main STORYLINE? I have never heard of this, I did not expect this, and I am NOT enjoying this.
I looked into receiving a refund for HoT to find that Anet staff only offer it upon complete de-activation of your account (until you buy the game again)………………………………………..
No wonder they wanted everyone to pre-purchase so badly…
I thought this game was supposed to be ready? I don’t consider this to be ready. You didn’t think people would get bored of grinding monotonous world map events? You should have known.
Perhaps this will finally be the nail in the coffin media-wise for Anet – perhaps you can start listening and focusing on what your player base wants, instead of trying to make big news stories about great player-staff communcation, when in actuality it has been dire from the very beginning. (We all know the original GW2 story was completely unfinished and underworked). I’m almost sick and tired of hearing the same thing.
