I dunno, would you pay $60 for whats in the backseat of my truck?
You've given about the same amount of information on whats being purchased, which is really, nothing.
Sort of a ridiculous poll, all it does it make another thread for those that don't like the game to chime in, and those that love it to do the same, while the rest think its a pretty silly question.
I voted no. Still to this day, I dont know what the point of playing this game is all about.
Oh, that's easy.
To have fun.
Why else would you play a game? If it's not fun for you, so be it, best of luck finding one you enjoy. But that's the point after all... having fun.
That's funny.
That's like if someone asks, why do you eat at the Olive Garden?
and they reply with "to get full"
You don't play to have fun? Is there some mystical reason I'm missing? I'm confuzzled now.
When I eat at Olive Garden, btw, it's because I like it. With good people, I have fun there even if it's just the conversation. Same with GW2. I like it and I therefore I have fun. Now... liking it isn't reason enough... I like Eve Online for example, but I stopped having fun. Still a damned good game, just no longer what I'm into. Same with WoW... had a blast raiding Ulduar and the like, but as Cata was approaching it stopped being fun for me.
Sixty bucks for an expansion ? Seems steep because most expansions are usually around 40 bucks. Oh and NO I will not be buying it. Totally disappointed with the game.

Where is the Olive Garden? Sounds like a nice place
Odd, I made it to 80 on my 1st toon b4 hitting even 20% world completion.
There just must be something about this game that I don't get.
I have the worst time leveling. The only way I discovered, that I can level at a regular rate is to redo the events that happen over and over. Otherwise I end up in areas way to high for me and I discover that I'm at a disadvantage.
Or I hang out in an area killing mobs (which is fine) but the xp is much slower than others.
I suppose my play style doesn't jive with the game design or I'm just missing something.

I eat to get full, as in, to get enough nutrients in order to survive (the fact that tastes good is a bonus). If I go eat to olive garden (or equivalent since there are no olive gardens here in Venezuela), then I eat there to have fun, as in, trying something different I wouldn't eat every day, spend time with my wife and son and/or family, and so on.
Simmilarly, that's why I play games, to have fun, TBH don't really see any other reason to play them. There's nothing to win since nobody pays me for playing, in the end it's all pure entertainment.
2) No I wouldn't pay $40 or $20 for a GW2 expansion. I just don't like playing GW2. I don't like the skill system, the combat or much of anything other than world design. Trying to do jump puzzles on a charr was frustrating and I have no issues with platformers. The response just felt way off to me.

Don't ask me, I ended up just running one heart and/or event after another without any rhyme or reason to it, which I wouldn't mind if each heart formed some sort of interesting quest chain, but rather they were simply, "go and give some soldiers a drink" which frankly provided less motivation than "kill 10 rats". And the events were simply; 'there is a bunch of *pick mob* attacking a camp/ village/ whatever, repell them'. And occasionaly there would be swamp monster or some such thing. Why is there a swamp monster and why is he so determined to act like a twat in said swamp. What's going on, is there any coherence anywhere in the game?

I've had luck simply being in the right level zone, pick a random direction and go that way. Events will find you. Of course, the hearts help, as does mixing in things like crafting or working zone completion while you're there. It feels smoothest when you don't focus on any one thing.
Of course, popping up to WvW for a few levels works as well and gives a nice change of pace.

Wasn't expecting it in my city, they are all south of the river though unfortunately.
Since, so many on this forum are against this game anyway and want to see if fail, asking this question here will get you a mostly No poll. And it is, what did the OP expect?
Originally posted by botrytis Since, so many on this forum are against this game anyway and want to see if fail, asking this question here will get you a mostly No poll. And it is, what did the OP expect?
Considering the OP never has anything nice to say about the game and is constantly negative I'm not sure why he'd be interested in the result either. Where did he get the $60 figure from? It's kind of like the, "Would you pay $50/mo for a game?" question.
The GW2, for the download version, was 60 dollars. I bet that is where he got it from and GW1 also charged the same price for the chapters (Factions and Nightfall) as they did for Prophecies.
If it was an overhaul of the game, where combat used resources and introduced skill trees and they put in real quests, and if they made dynamic events in lower level zones good for all level characters, and if you could do WvW at lower level without being at a huge disadvantage to 80s, then... maybe.
I wouldn't expect the expansion to be priced at $60. That being said, if it included more character slots for new races and/or classes, I'd get it in a heartbeat. I haven't spent any money on this game other than my initial purchase and I've been playing daily since launch. I've met many nice folks in this game so for me it would be an easy choice.
They would have to make pvp enjoyable in the vanilla release before I ever considered an expansion.
Not too fond of their new grinding fetish either, didnt start playing the game for fractals and grinding, much less boring pvp. .. but this is why I quit.

What can men do against such reckless hate?
1) Almost no one charges $60 for expansions
2) No I wouldn't pay $40 or $20 for a GW2 expansion. I just don't like playing GW2. I don't like the skill system, the combat or much of anything other than world design.

No way.
I haven't even gotten my money's worth for the basic game -and i bought it for 30€.
i personally would not buy any expansion for GW2. i just don't enjoy playing this game, not to say its a bad game or anything.
it just bores me to death, i enjoy playing swtor more than this, which says a lot lol
