What about stop predicating things thats not gona happen?
WOW: The Most Well Known Non-Free Non-Browser Client-Based 3D Fantasy MMORPG In Some Parts of the World.
Of course there will be expansions to the game. Since when is this a bad thing? You still don't need an expansion to enjoy the game that comes with the initial box price! Also, there will be a live content team pushing free content after release. They have already said that new dynamic events accross the game will be one thing they will be adding. Some will be on top of DEs already in game and others will be rotated in and out with existing DEs, in order to keep the game feeling fresh for long time players.
No one is saying there won't ever be anything you will want to buy beyond the initial game purchase, but GW2 crams more content into the initial release than just about any MMORPG in the history of the genre. That much of that content is also dynamic and the game has a system for leveling you down for lower level content just extends the replayability of the plethora of content that is in the game.
This isn't some bare bones MMO that you have to fill in with optional content you need to purchase. The game is massive!

what??? grind??? you play beta? i reach lvl22 and barely leave the 1-15 zone and 0 grind...now i would have the others 1-15 start zones.
you only grind in this game if you want, nothing in cash shop wil do anything if you want grind.
Some sub games have expansions you need to pay for as well.

Felt like grind to me, game seemed just like more of the same, but each to there own.
GW2 cured my cancer
so for you any MMORPG and RPG are very grind ? i mean if you say GW2 is grind and not fun is better you leave both MMORPG and RPG games.
im still a bit wow to see someone say GW2 pve is grind and more of the same.
LOL, whatever happened to the merits of B2P? Did it go out the window by the same development team that made it such a big deal with GW1?
The original lure of B2P was basically this: Pay the initial box purchase / download, then you were set for life with the game.
Too good to be true I guess, and the original vision of B2P dies at the same place of its birth, GW1.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)
The B2P is still there or have you not realized that everything in cash shop is completely optional? Just because something is in the cash shop, it does not mean that you need to buy it.
GW1 was the same way. The game is B2P and there is an optional cash shop.
b2p = buy to play. i bought the game and can play all game without restriction, this is what a B2P game is. GW2 have also a cash shop that have stuff you can buy if you like.
you will not have any advantage against other players, so isnt a buy to win game.
This game will cost exactly what I alraedy paid for in the preorder. Anything spent in the game store is purely by choice. I have neither seen nor heard about anything in the cash shop that HAS to be purchased to play or progress.
Frankly if I do choose to spend money in the cash/gem shop, iI bet I can spend less in the cash shop on an average monthly basis than I do on a monthly sub for a game such as WoW or SWTOR. And that is what matters to me.
AGREED. but it looks like there are some people that just cant understand that and troll....
I just thought about the OP is right
Guys remember to take tax into consideration.
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
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.
... these is no tax, when i even bought this game (Anet store) i payed $0 on tax
There is something that might considered tax. The fact that it costs more for someone from EU than from someone in the US, but it's the same with all games.
the question is does that cash shop have this problem?
That's actually a good question. If 100 gems in the US are 10 dollars and in the EU 10 euro, and the auction house communicates with both EU and US servers, it could be considered that US players have an advantage in the CS over EU ones. If AH is divided in EU and US servers, then it's not a problem.
The pirate outfit.
Have you worn the pirate outfit? Apparently you have not.
Trust me. Your GW2 enjoyment will double with the pirate outfit.
GW2 isn't P2W, it's P2GMLADS. (Pay 2 giggle madly like a demented schoolgirl) That pirate outfit is some fun stuff.
I don't care if you think you've been enjoying GW2 before, it's nothing compared to the unfettered glee the pirate outfit brings.
hope you cant use that pirate outfit on WvW...
No worries, it won't work in PvP or dungeons.
If you're a thief, you get access to a bandit/pirate armor once you hit tier 2 with you glory. Actually, I'm not sure if it's only available to thieves or for all medium armor classes.
You can see it in this video.
I'm sorry OP, but you are completely wrong. Do you realize that ANet is acting as the bar setter? They will have their own baseline conversion rate based on the market, so say you can convert X Gold for X amount of gems with the shop itself, no player will be able to sell his gems for more gold then that baseline. Why would a person give more gold for less gems to a person when they can get more from ANet, unless they aren't informed. Basically this ends up favoring the player who actually plays and gets gold, because the people selling their gems will always have to undercut the baseline ANet conversion price no matter what. Thus, all of these things can be free no matter what, and you can get them all with gold. What other game can you spend in game money to get character slots, server transfers, etc..??
I hope you can!
Since it is a set of town clothing, and automatically deactivates when you're in combat, and none of the abilities are anything other than emotes.
*thinks a bit* Oh, wait, no, it's probably better you can't use it in WvW. I just remembered you can summon a cannon.
Sure, it doesn't do any damage, but it might scare somebody really badly if you bluff with it!
Don't like quoting myself, by I am curious about this. Anyone know how this will work or it hasn't been revealed yet?
Yeah, I'm quoting my own post because I'd like an answer to this. The person I'm quoting seems to conveniently ignore that point... I wonder why.
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?

I should have added the crafting materials tab. It did slip my mind. Feel better?
I would say most people who love alts will choose to purchase extra bank tabs. If those people don't know going in they will have to pay for additional bank space. Then they may pay more than they thought they would when they originally bought the game.
