This was probably already mentioned, however I can't be bothered to read through 8 pages.
Umm, how about 0 DLC. Mainly cause ArenaNet doesn't do DLC (except for BMP).
Yes there was the BMP, but that was a one off thing that didn't add much. I more expect things similar to WoC, Sorrow's Furnace, WiK or HotN. Four 'dlcs' that you didn't pay for, and were story changing (except for Sorrow's). Also, they said they will be adding more dynamic events to the various areas and will probably add other small things frequently. If you played the original games, you'd expect this, not some money grabbing scheme.
DLC's would be good only if that would replace CS.
Expansions + DLC + CS is too much.
Since CS exist then just full blown boxed expansions please.
What if DLC was being sold in the Cash Shop though? Since you can exchange your ingame gold for gems then you could get all the DLC for nothing. All that's needed is a bit of gold grinding, if you didn't have enough already.
It is not about cash, at least not only.
It is about game's worth.
I don't like Cash Shop's and Cash Shops (I mean things like selling gold, xp boosts, armors, pots, surprise boxes and all usual stuff that is in CS) DECREASE game worth for me.
There are games I would not even touch with a stick if they would have CS, like sandbox mmorpg's for example.
GW2 is themepark though and I am iterested i it's business model and DE.
CS is same thing as subscription for me. Way to get on-going revenue from players.
Many people don't like sub because you HAVE to pay it. It was never concern & problem for me, since I play only one mmorpg at one given time. I could imagine playing two maybe, but never happened yet.
So having DLC's, Expansions and CS is too much. Would just be not worth it for me.
It's like having sub + sizeable CS like TSW or it's like freemium models like AoC or SoE games - models which I personally consider worst.
Expansions + CS + DLC would not feel like B2P anymore for me. Too many on-going payments.
Throw one thing out of those 3 - preferably CS, of course CS is not goig anywhere then DLC have to go and it is fine.
Why does paying for Expansions + CS + DLCs not B2P? You are buying the content to play them :P. You are not forced to buy them to play .
