Its cool. I'll simply never buy another themepark MMO... well maybe Elder Scrolls Online because its more of a Co-Op Morrwind game than an MMO.
And thus the cycle starts again...
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
Keep telling yourself that...
You make me like charity
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
There has already been threads all over on this site, and guild wars 2 forums.
There is opinions which are fair, thoughtful and respectful and there is bitching, there has been enough bitching on this site and the main forums about Anet and other companies, and yet the fools who whine about it never seem to get over it because they'll be back to their habbits of buying the same stuff doing it all over again.
If you are one of these people who do nothingthing but whine, give the MMOs a break and do something or play something different.
To pull a funcom would be creating something very creative and unique, but lack the perfection and money to do this 100%.
GW2 did neither.
Hodor!
? Of course there is a gear treadmill, it's unavoidable. You want the best gear (be it cosmetic or statwise) and the best gear is always going to be grinded out in some matter, even if the game puts a mask over the grind. Also, more gear will be added down the road creating said tredmill effect.
There is nothing wrong with it either.
Your point is essentially right but your example is way off. Gear treadmill was put back in pretty quickly in AoC and there was a massive grind introduced in the expansion.
AoC failed because of failing to do things ANet is pretty good at - customer support and being reactive.
'Failcom' as they became known due to the debacle of AoC was for other reasons - beleive me - my guild struggled to work through it all for years before finally throwing in the towel.
I would LOVE to see that list of 12....
Nope.... they just realised that all the "glitz" surrounding certain features wasnt enough to cover up the complete lack of depth and general game, while their original concepts were great it didnt quite pan out, now that the majority of the population has hit 80 and are bored, barely log in or quit , also adding in the large ammount of people who quit long before 80 they are attempting to add some things to stop this from happening.
its simple, obvious damage control, id also sumrise that gem sales are no where near what they wanted/needed and nare now trying to attract a more varied playerbase than the " your playing wrong" and " i look cool so im satisfied" people.
These changes are beyond proof that the population is no where near as big as some claim currently.
The game itself cant fail as its got no sub and they ade decent sales however it is suffering as of right now.
Before you jump in to defend look at it subjectively and think about it, if the game was doing so well and all the millions of players were happy with the current system they wouldnt change a thing...... anyway im sure a rabid fanboy or 2 will pop up
Personally GW2 is not my kinda game but even this minor change wouldnt have been enough to get me back or playing more.
Sigh.......The moment you are lvl 1 you're on the treadmill. Did you expect to just be lvl 80 forever running around the game forever doing events for skin swaps. Some of you guys are just bitching for the sake of bitching. Because if you go back in some of these two faced goobs post history like I did. They are the EXACT same people 1-2 weeks ago complaining the other way. No end game wah no way to customize wah no new gear wahhh.
Now you get it and its oh my god I have to do (SOMETHING I BEEN DOING THE WHOLE DAMN TIME). As i said in another post get over the inudustry was not saying the game didnt need this. It was saying it badly needed this. So if carebears want to cry go play a ps3/xbox game.Those games end and dont evolve mmorpg's evolve get over it.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
nope it is not in air .it is in the fragnance of flower .like female blood elf in world of warcraft burning crusade trailer. watch it again if you have forgotten it
he said funcom not aoc
Didn't you JUST post yesterday complaining about this? Eeesh, cry for attention much? We get it, you're not happy with the changes. Move on to another game if you don't like it.
You should have expected the possibility before buying the game. It is your fault that you still took the risk and got burnt.
I think there's probably a line in the EULA warning for tthe fact that Anet can change the game at some time.
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
Did he ask for a refund?
I thought he was just saying the game was not fun for him anyore due to inclusion of things that kill his fun in a game like this (read gear grind with the potential to be never ending).
A few people have said since launch that the game needed gear grind and endgame activities similar to other games.
I and others have said "Well this game isn't for you, go play any of the dozens of games following that model".
Now Anet is saying "Actually you guys that dislike gear grind can go look for another game".
Of course they don't want those players to leave, they are banking on them staying since they are the old fan base from GW1.
And you only need to read these forums to see some will say "Green is the best color ever" if Anet says it and bash everyone that says "actually red is the best color" but next day if Anet says "Red is the best color ever" they will start saying the same as if they always did.
Fanboys are always please, Haters are always unhappy.
Then there are people that think for their heads and are pleased or displeased acording with the circumstances.
Currently playing: GW2
Going cardboard starter kit: Ticket to ride, Pandemic, Carcassonne, Dominion, 7 Wonders
He is whining about it and blaming Arenanet when a major part of the fault lies in him rather than on Arenanet. Of course, if he asked for a refund too, then it would be even worse from my viewpoint.
Holy crap kiddos its a backpiece that you can get... full armor pieces aren't slated for release yet, they are still working on that. Where else can you even get a backpiece? I don't even play this game anymore and all this whining is driving me crazy.
You cry for more content, you got it. They're a business, and trying to get more business, that's the way the world works, get over yourselves.
