It doesn't matter to me either way. I won't be buying it since I don't play GW2 enough to warrant it. Not that I could afford it anyway, so I have no horse in this race. In other news, the GW2 devs are sad. www.killtenrats.com/2015/06/18/gw2-lash-and-love/Going by my tradition of supporting this game franchise, I should be buying it right away, in fact I nearly do so yesterday and steadied my hand right at the last moment. The truth is I'm struggling to get interested in this game, it's like its massive freedom comes up as a lack of direction to me, like if nothing matters. I wonder if I'm the only one who is having this problem. This makes it very difficult for me to keep putting money in this game. I'm gonna be playing this game more deeply this week to see if I get hooked on it. Also I'm getting the feeling this XP is going to radically change the game, which may be good or bad, so even if I get into it, I'm still gonna have to relearn everything which gives me a feeling of helplessness, because I feel everything I'm doing is for nothing. This is weird, I don't think the XP is over priced, but it is the 1st time ever I'm wondering if I should buy a Guild Wars product, in the past, these things used to be a no brainer straight up purchase, so to me at least, this franchise don't seem to be what it used to be, so I may end up skipping it too, I guess I'll have to make up my mind.

Big news! The base game of GW2 is now completely free to play! www.guildwars2.com/en/news/play-for-free-today/It is no longer B2P. You will still have to pay for the expansion, Heart of Thorns, but the base game is now FREE. There are some restrictions for pure F2P players over those who buy/have bought the core game, so make sure to read those over in the FAQ in the link above.

Good. Now people won't have to fork over any money to watch a special snowflake piece of lettuce completely hog the spotlight of your character's personal story.

The devs gave away an exclusive Royal Guard outfit for all accounts that were made before the F2P shift. In typical gamer fashion, people are complaining about it. Specifically the people who are getting the outfit are complaining about it. Sometimes all I can do is stare at my screen with a blank face when I come across stupidity like that. I can't even...

This was unexpected for me, though I would have preferred a discount on the XP for having bought the original over the cosmetic stuff. This new shift is certainly good news and a sign they are gonna work on new XPs like crazy! I think WoW may finally meet its match.

People said that when GW2 first launched, scorcher. The only thing that will kill WoW will be WoW itself in the form of terrible decisions by Blizzard made manifest in subpar expansions like Warlords. If Legion ends up like Warlords it's a sure bet WoW will be finished.
