Guild Wars 2

It doesn’t take more than kindergarten logic to understand that a good expansion should leave the base game alone and instead offer new things to encourage players to buy.

Anet has apparently completely failed to understand this, as they have gone the route of kittening over players in a sad attempt to force them to buy. Instead of adding content, they have chosen to take it away. Case in point, fractal rewards are now locked behind masteries, which require the expansion. There are no new fractals to encourage us to buy, instead they are simply removing rewards from the bse game and shifting them to HoT.

Sorry old players, you can no longer get the rewards you have been getting for years now because you didn’t pay for the kittenty expansion.

I knew leading up to launch that Anet was relying on hype to sell the expansion before launch, and banking on people not looking to closely, and I have been proven right.

Another utter disaster by Anet.
