I agree. And just want to point out that paying for a game that has a cash shop doesn't even get mentioned anymore, including you. It's just normal now.

We don't pay Anet, we pay NCSoft. NCSoft gives Anet a budget. NCSoft has a history of shutting down perfectly fine MMOs because they're not profitable enough, pretty sure that's what happened to GW2. Except that it's not been shut down, instead it runs on like 25% of its season 4 budget or whatever. So no, we won't get more of we pay more. And yes, the entire "mini expansion" is just recycled and repeated content ad nauseam. I can't see the design loop of "go get glowy orbs with your skyscale" anymore, it happens 25 times per event, acrpss 90% of events.

Pretty sure that's it.

Here is my take: remember City of Heroes? Has nothing to do with the codebase, I'd say. It's just NCNet now, mate. Like ActiBlizz. It's not a flesh puppt yet, took a while for Blizzard, Bioware and Co as well. But it's not going to get better anymore.

Half a season of Living World over twelve month for almost full price. Fuck me that's grim.

Genuinely just three maps and a hub. Fucking hell.

5 * 18 = 90 AR, for anyone wondering.

The last gasp before we got NCNet. Sigh.

I, too, would like to have the karma of a Buddha. The last time I got kicked out of my own group was when I told someone to stop switching to higher-level Swampland. (It had Afflicted.)

Yeah, that's already far too much shit to deal with for me to be worth the content. However, how many times do they kick YOU for blocking the group? 😁

Part of me is tempted to do the same. But then again I'd have to go through all the bullshit that makes me avoid "difficult" content. Bitch at people, vote kicks, don't get enough people to agree, leave, create a new, block everyone and their mum and therefore get even less access to LFG, and so on, and so forth. Not worth it, I'll probably rather not play at all than having to be a cunt all morning just to get people to not be fucking bastards and morons.

Mathematical as well as the dungeon-esques one!

Apes. Together. Strong.
