Can patched people join the unpatched and also farm with replay with them? I would have liked to not log out but I didn't expect them to take out the R2 replay.
I kinda hope this game change drastically, or die out because if it's not, it's going to make a killing with the money cards. I don't buy that stuff unless the company put in the work to make normal play pleasant to where you don't even think about buying their optional stuff since it's not vital to the game. Guild Wars 2 is the only game I bought store currency for. Their store sells very optional stuff like skins, character slots (they give you enough to start with), and bank space (I didn't need this but had nothing else to get).
Arenanet (GW2 devs) was worthy to me because they have been adding substantial content every week - two weeks for a good while. Getting money to buy stuff isn't a chore, and playing the game for gold the best way to get it, converting gems (the currency for their store) to gold isn't really good. EXPing is so good depending on what the weeks event is, and you can travel all over the place via warps (not time consuming). It's pleasant to play. GTAO? I play solo because I don't want to be set back too far by getting killed. I have too far to go doing missions slowly, with no replay. Slowly because you have to call for it, wait, activate the mission, then there's the lobby thing, wait a while if you don't solo it, Do the mission and hope it's not a long mission with crap pay, then you start the process over.
