Look up hypocrisy my friend...what is the comment under your avatar if not "troll-bait?
So in other words...my sig doesn't account for your inane response at all but since you think by my response I'm against your game that was what you grasped onto. Mmkay..think most could figure that out anyways but thanks for clarifying.
For the record, not that you deserve it, but I'm really gung ho about this game. But this topic is about as troll bait as you can get. Feel free to keep grasping at assumptions though. I mean why stop now?
...and this coming from someone with your avatar? Really? Wow...
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

Are you drunk? Wtf are you even going on about at this point?

It could be argued that you are engaging TSW fans with every post you make, that was the point I was interjecting. Really though what it was that sparked my response was; I am in full agreement with Wicked's original post. The term "hater" is simply misused (as is the term fanboi).
WHat is a hater really? Would a hater admit to being a hater and wrong? No, a true hater has nothing more than an agenda to rile up fans. A troll if you will...
A person who actually gives a game a chance is the complete opposite of that at least one who would freely admit it.

I was a GW2 fan awaiting the game with great anticipation ... and now I likely won't play it at all or may simply dabble when bored.
Isn't what I hoped it to be.
You stay sassy!
I haven't really followed GW2 much, but since it's just one purchase then F2P, I might give it a go when it's out. Will be nice to not have a subscription fee but I still wonder how long it will keep me interested.
Pretty self explanatory.
These boards are pretty self explanatory at this point.
Lot of avid gamers with some good advice and info.
...and then there are topics like these. If you can't see the difference then far as I'm concerned you're part of what is wrong with the current mmo community. Think that goes without saying anyways really considering the assumptions you already made.

I dont decide anything, the community does.
I agree that LoL is a joke, ive seen that the vast majority of players suck at any other moba on the market.
We are discussing cash shops and pay to win here.
If games as simple as mobas can become insanely profitable without being pay to win, then games like mmorpgs that are far more complex have it way easier.
Its just that developers used to take the easy way out and just give better stats in the cs, that fortunately is changing.
Exactly.
I will concede that "big spenders" may find some advantages early on, while everyone is low level and earning crap from game play. As people get higher in level, get more playtime under their belts and earn a lot more per hour of play, being able to afford blueprints, upgrades, etc... won't be a problem for the population in general.
It won't be long before lack of money stops being a limiter of what each server can do in WvW.
Also, as has been pointed out, none of these things equate to winning. Some guy plopping down $250 on gems won't win anything with out the armies of players that participate in WvW. I'm sure knowing he would get those gems back for launch made it easier to justify, just to see what one could do with a large amount of gems. People spend $200 for a life time sub, so I'm sure some people will pay $200 for gems instead, for a game with no sub fee. However, someone would have to be an idiot to spend all those gems to gain some very short term advantage in WvW during the opening days of the game.
If the worst someone can do with a few hindred dollars is give their server a bit of an advantage during the opening days, when lack of money in the economy amplifies the advantages of wealth, then it's pretty easy to say this game is NOT pay to win.

well having the option to exchange gold for gems , and gems for gold is a nice idea
i for1 will farm gold like no tommorrow to buy some gems and purchase another char slot (i need to have all the classes!) and 5 slots arent enough so yeah....
Then don't be a sheep. Play the game for yourself and judge for yourself.
i dont mid they are all still welcome ^_^
No reason to hit youtube up for C+C. Unless you have a preference for them.
I never said those that didn't hate must have their head up Anet's patootie
That was just what you chose to read into my original statement. Which says a lot really.

I never hated the game, nor did I bash it. I did jump into an ongoing conversation once and expressed some things that I did not like about the game, from viewing vids, etc... and i did state that I would not be playing it due to those things.
I got a beta ket for theis last weekend and I fell for the game, hook line and sinker. Had a complete blast and really connected wit hthe art style and gameplay mechanics.
So, although i was never a hater, I certainly did a 180 this past weekend and am now a big fan of this game.
I refuse to even look at GW2 streams. What a pathetic excuse for a company to be doing "OPEN BETA" testing events. Beta testing events should just vanish unless its a f2p game where open beta means its released becauseyou can buy friggin items from there but noooooooo not games like GW2.
Im going to do the proper thing as a gamer and buy it at release, play it, THEN I will say how much I hated it with passion and whatnot.

Woe to thee, the pierce-ed.
Things you should know about me:
I played on the last beta weekend.
This game was/is overhyped.
I was never a Guild Wars fan.
I never disliked Guild Wars.
Now.. I lasted less than 15 minutes, not sure why. I didn't give the game a fair go, I just played until level 3 then gave up, I didn't like how it felt or looked, maybe it's just not for me.
In all fairness, there is a market there for it so why not take advantage? It is really the sensible thing to do from a business perspective. I can't blame them for doing what many other companies have done and frankly I would do myself in this day and age.
It is a viable marketing tool and considering many will pay to gain access why the hell not?
As for you Grunties, you're so off the mark it isn't even funny[mod edit]

Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
I wasn't on the hating train, after playing the beta i realised i wasted my money.. this game was so boring for me, everyone running like a zombie from one event to another without even realiseng what is going on around them. The quest and lore in this game are minimal, and you really get a sense of disconnection from other people. The graphic is not very good.. and i wasn't impresed by the art design. overall i had a bad experience and i uninstalled and never look at it again. I don't know what is all the hype about, just another boring SP-MMO without any depth or sense of proggression. And i really don't understand why people have to go "i told you this was the best game evaaaarrrrrr!!!!1111!!!! @#!@#!!!! OMG this is the best game... and you were hating it.." LOL what can i say, a 10 year old man mentallity is not something i consider a nice community. Anyways i hope you guys will trully have fun with this, one i will be moving on to something else i guess.
Does everyone know that they can be bought with badges earnt in game?
not me.. i find GW2 to be very boring..
If i do pick it up it will only happen if y guild are still playing the game a few months after release.. and then il lonly be playing wvwvw pvp.. but i ahve a feeling they wont be playing it a few months after release lol..
