    Different people want different things.  Some people want a game that is all about grinding to get better stuff.  Some people want a game not to be all about grinding to get better stuff.  You can't please both groups simultaneously.  The problem is that GW2 was initially sold as the latter, and now the claims are that they're changing it to the former.  It's not that either is bad in itself; it's that changing from one to the other is, well, ask SOE how Star Wars Galaxies' "New Game Experience" turned out.

    You've been here for a while right? That's pretty much how people are - they want everything both ways. They can't be pleased because it's never enough.

    "I hate looking for group in chat for 2 hours!"

    "Omg why did they add a raid finder? Is this WoWeasymode now? Lame!"

    If those quotes come from two different people, then it's not a contradiction.  It's just different people having different opinions.

    Only in the sense that everything is funnier if it happens to someone else.

    It's bad form to make fun of another's misfortune. this is however interesting.

    First, it is not a contradiction. If players want to see progression, it doesn't mean they mean a gear treadmill. There are more types of progression.

    Second and imo the more obvious one, why do you automatically assume that those comments belong to the same people?

    You are confused here a bit if you think it is the same group of players who wanted gear progression and now they are complaining once Anet implemented their wishes.

    People who are upset the most never asked for gear progression or another tier of armor. These are the people who supported the original vision of GW2 that exotics will be the end of stats cap and only thing that will differentiate players from one another is appearance.

    I belong to the group who asked for gear progresion and happy with the changes. But i surely won't mock those who are upset because i understand that they are feeling cheated by change in direction of end game.

    What's your point?

     

    The people that stopped playing, or never bought, GW2 would fit into category 1.  (I fit in here) 

     

    Those that are still playing and hate character progression through gear grinds are in #2.

     

    There is probably nothing that ANet can do to please both.  Unless they let people craft equal gear to the dungeons, which means there is little incentive to actually run dungeons.

    Wanted to say something but was ahhh forget it.
    Anything you say about something is fanboy or hater.
    Flamed or be flamed.
    Trolled or be trolled
    Fail or failed

    Just add some WvW gear with equal stats and iam happy.

    If Ascended armour doesn't affect the rest of the game it will be perfect and the endgame players can have their fun in the new dungeon.

    But the massively article is not what I read on the GW2 forums - not the same theing. They assumed alot and they were wrong.

     

    It is not stronger.....
