They can charge for it in different ways, doesn't have to be "pay or free", honestly. But to answer your question, I would be fine with a yearly "season pass" if it allows the game to stay focused in delivering content frequently.

Here are some quotes I found from my past on reddit.
This was said by me two years ago:
I got downvoted for saying it.
This was said by me almost a year ago:
I got downvoted for saying it.
But Goddamn was I right, lol.
I couldn't find my comments on people wanting to go back to vanilla after years of updates and/or expansion packs, it paralleled what I experienced with GW1.

I see what you mean. Actually your right, just from personal experience I bought a lot more gems during LS.
They would have to start bundling up living stories for new people buying game at full price because if they just sold it in gem store some people might have to spend over the price of main game just to get a few months of LS.
The Season pass thing was a suggestion on that survey I did attend of December. Wonder if anything from that survey will ever come to fruition.

Does anyone have a list of what was on the survey? I'm curious.
Same here, and it's tied to confidence in the product. I'm perfectly fine dropping money on permanent harvesting tools or account-wide slots or whatever if I'm confident there will be a reason to play, so I'll get mileage out of those purchases. With HoT, I don't know what the future of this game is and I'm not willing to throw more money at it.
Thank you for joining us spirit, hope you had a good time. Tonight was our smoothest progression in the raid, so I'm happy about it

Of course I miss my one chance this week of getting carried by playing with the guild in the raid.
I'm repeating myself at this point, but there should have been new fractals with the expansion. You shouldn't just pick a game mode to support over another and then not support either with content. People have been playing the same 11 levels for years, so it's safe to say that another 7 or so would have added a huge amount of replayability to the expansion, at least until Living World starts again. No strict event schedules, LFG nightmares, just new content that you can play whenever as many times as you like.

You had the best on point druid on! The other one,
On serious though it seemed that having 2 druid was quite useful in our curent team composition, I'm not saying it is meta or ''WE MUST HAVE ALWAYS 2'' it just went well. It helped keeping grace of the land up and doing some healing while the other one is on cooldown. I still managed to keep up fury, bleed and burning hitting around 10k condi damage alone. It ain't that bad.
I mean we kinda speed threw Vg and gorseval in 2 attempt each. We're getting somewhere.... except for sab yet. Soon
Lev was simply being a plebeian standing in the back, alone.
This post above is a lie

Ya I really like having 2 druids. Having two sets of heals for "oh shit" moments is really nice and they bring tons of group support with grace of the land, spotter, spirits, etc. I like it a lot.
I wanna play my druid some time so fight me for druid #2 spot
Join me in black desert online at the end of the monthhhhh
Hahahaha, no. I'm not looking for new MMOs, and even if I were I wouldn't even glance at P2W Korean Grindfests.

there's no dragon's stand pvp track right?

Unless they go beyond scale 100 (please no), all of the fractals would have to be rearranged to fit in new ones, and they could make it so easy islands like Swampland or Molten Boss don't get repeated often enough per tier to run them three times.
When we were looking for people to invite, I actually suggested you because I knew you wouldn't let us down. Those really were some of our best runs ever in the raid. ^_^

Believe it or not, some people have integrity about their work and don't just do it for the money.
Gosh so embarrassing 😳
I think the biggest thing about the whole gutting dungeons to push people to raids/fractals thing that bugs me is that we haven't had new fractals in years. One update. In a game mode designed to be drag and drop, easy to add new content to. If you're going to remove my favorite part of the game at least actually made good on your promise!
Thanks for coming along. It went pretty smoothly.

I only see swamp three times in a row in the 50+ tier. Anything >50 it's Swamp + Daily + Boss. Which is better than the old system in which people spend ten minutes "rolling for swamp" and then pray you don't get Underground for the other two. It was seriously an hour or so out of my day to do fractals in the past compared to now.
That's because 50+ doesn't have a daily other than "do any 3" and the first molten duo in 50+ is at 80. Plus, high level molten duo takes longer than swamp.

Nope, but there are non-repeatable tracks for each of the other maps that lead up to the Magus Falls track which is repeatable.
No crystalline ore though, if that's what you're looking for.

I'd be interested in BDO if it had *any* imaginative races other than human and tiddy-human. I'm shocked at how badly homeocentric Korean MMOs are becoming.
From what I've seen, this is actually the legit reason why almost 90% of BioWare has left over the last few years, going to places like Beamdog. They hated the culture and direction of BioWare, since it clashed with their principles, and decided to bail.
The sooner they get that rolling, the better. I'm hoping it's not some last few months of 2016 thing and we actually get things soon, but I'm not really expecting much.
And I hope that content includes dynamic events. They were always so excited about the event system before launch, it's disheartening to see them basically abandon it. When the game launched I always thought the game would really push that system and it would evolve and get more complex as the game aged, but it never really has. Instead we've gone full on theme park... with timers in the corner that tell you when the ride resets.
They used to say they were going to add new events all the time, and while that happened for a while it just died eventually.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but didn't they say that season 1 was coming back in some form? I missed large chunks of it, but I can't imagine how pulling it off would work. They also said the same thing about Super Adventure Box.
The trouble they must be having with that is probably the same ordeal they have with updating the world as they once said they would.

yeah that's what I'm looking for, crystalline ore

What they said was it might and or it is on the table. Honestly, Arena net has literally no reason to ever bring back season one, except certain fights in fractals.
And those people are rare and hard to find. There is a reason why the average length spent at a job is only 4.5 years.

No data mining post with this update, there was nothing worth mentioning that wasn't in the patch notes. :O
I thought there was a post about that. Maybe the change wasn't finished in time for this patch.
Where do you aim? I wanna be sure I do it right

That was the plan until those worthless redditors and forum whiners whine until we got rewarded with this stupid expansion.
Playing gw2 is now a chore. The few things keeping me is getting the scepter legendary and those sexy guild boots.
Which one? Maybe it was one of the drops that were changed like Astralaria?

Why isn't there a right-click function to donate crafting materials to guild hall use from the inventory screen?
appletoasty

Aren't those only dropped from the Exalted Chests at the end? Taxi in to a successful Tarir and open all the things. No need for 2 hour events.
(I wish there was more of a reason to do the pre-events, I haven't done anything other than just octovine in AB since launch)
why is anything tied to events failing? how does that even make sense? "gee, i sure hope everyone here goes AFK so i can get this item"
They did a good job of making us wait years for precursor crafting and then making it as annoying as possible.
It's the Icebrood Quaggan. I tried checking but it doesn't seem like they have changed that one, only the Risen Wraith.
