idk, everyone in my guild all came from gw1 (they all played together) and none are really upset over it, or are gonna wait and see how it all plays out. Maybe only rational folks tend to look on the lighter side of this?
I believe that there is this 'silent majority' which people ignore who give their feedback directly to the game devs. These people don't visit forums but yet they have their say.
Anet has the real data and i am sure it has nothing to do with WOW players but on what side majority of feedback lies. I am pretty sure they got overwhelming feedback for adding gear progression and they even mentioned it in their article that they are doing it on basis of what players want.
I was one of those people who gave my feedback directly to Anet and supported gear progression.
It definitely makes sense to start small and I have no problem with it. But if even this small step causes them to lose more players than return, it will be rough for ANet for a while.
I cant find anything different other then a more simplistic way to play an MMO, Im being honest. Its really just an incredibly dumbed down version of MMO's which i didnt think was possible in this day and age.
I'm just saying. I think ANET was given their autonomy for GW2 but with the stipulation that it turned a certain profit. Now that GW2 may not be bringing in as much bacon as NCSoft had hoped for, they are exerting their authority. Obviously, it's just speculation on my part, But I wouldn't be surprised.
I understand what you are saying but i think it is unfair to automaticaly assume that if it is a bad decision it is NCSOFT and when it is good decisions it is 'Anet'. For all we know every decision comes from Ncsoft since they own Anet.
Honestly, I really don't think there is that much separation between them. I don't think there ever really was. Sure ANET had free reign over the design of thier game, but I can't believe it was without continual approval from higher up. I really don't see good decision/ANET bade decsion/NCSoft. Since they are more one in the same, really.
That's nice and all and I agree but I do have a sliiight problem when ridiculous strongly worded "manifesto" videos are made public.

Uhh, ok, but it's kinda like a "this and that" thing here, I'm talking about "this" and you are talking about "that".
But I'll admit, I didn't get my point out clearly.
uh, ... dude never said anything about anyone 'selling out'. but it is plausable that they are doing certain things in order to retain players so they can make more money. which is (at least imo) what his ( the guy you quoted) point was.
I used to have a buddy who was into offroading (big time) He was famous for saying. Real Four Wheel Drives don't say 4X4 on the back.
It was more a play on words from the guy I quoted. Which is why I said I wasn't clear.
It would have been better if Anet had just shut up about the whole' no gear grind and everyone will be equal and horizontal progression only' nosnense. If they had not made those manifesto videos with all the big talks, the backlash would have been non existsant.
Devs need to know when to stop running their mouth.
NNOOO. Metallica is the most over rated band ever.
I like Metallica

they had one good album imo. good musicians, bad song writers. but i respet your opinion.
But the game is very different , agruing otherwise proves bias. You may not like how its different but its one of the most different mmos that is still realitivaly polished.
This doesn't mean you have to like it. Look at your comments none of it had anything to do with how its not different only that you don't care for their direction. This is a intelctual dishonesty, were in you are proving evidence that doesn't realte to the agrument on hand.
Obviously ANEt was different as their game is different, weather it what you wanted or not is not the issue.

I do wonder, because I always say that, subfee may be one of the reasons I don't play MMOs, but honestly it's gameplay as well, I always mention that. If GW2 was really like WoW, I honestly wouldn't be playing it.
When most people say "This been done before." they usually give a list of games, rather than just one.
Maybe that's why I like GW2 a lot, because it has a lot of what many games have done but it's all in one game, which makes it different TBH.

I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)
Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
I get zero problems that pve player at heart get some gear progresion, but if that means i am forced to play pve it becomes a totaly diffrent story.
i have 600 hours in WvW, maybe 50 in PvE including leveling.
If that means my face is going to get owned by pve players its a /uninstall
Give WvW players a karma / Badges set on par with that set and i dont mind it.
But no word spoken about something likt that, and that worries me...alot.
Hodor!
I think ANet's fans thought ANet would be different.
And to their credit ANet certain were in GW1.
