After finally getting into the GW2 beta..

Do you honestly think SWTOR is a good game.

Really?

What if he does? What's your business to tell the person in question what they should think? Just because your opinion is different from someone else's doesn't mean it's fact. Instead of trying to convince others your opinion, look at yourself in the mirror and ask "Why am I still on these forums even though I think this game is rubbish? Why do I have to stay on them? Does it make my life better knowing that my opinion will sway others? If my life is fulfilling why am I online in a game forum, that I do not like, attacking a game to get a rise from others?"

And quit trying to be condescending. You're no better than any of us.

Altoholics are a pretty niche group of players. It seems like people tend to excuse the fact that end game is quick and easy by saying that you're not really supposed to be focusing on playing at max level anyhow, and to me, that is mostly a cop out for this game lacking meaningful and engaging content at level 50. They basically spoon feed you all but the absolute most bleeding edge gear (campaign and war hero) which are painfully gated, as a way of veiling the fact that there isn't much to do.

I just don't really feel like aiming your game directly at altoholics is the best way to maintain a strong and diverse player base.

Point me to some of these "huge" benefits by the way, because to me, the benefits of legacy seem rather minimal. Is it the 3% bonus to crafting critical chance? Yeah, that is massive right there. Is it the 30% bonus to companion affection from gifts? Enormous. Is it the experience bonuses, when most people that have played since launch already have 4 or 5 level capped characters, or more? Is it mailboxes on your ship or in the field respecs?

I'm not seeing these "huge" benefits granted from alting, it all seems like fluff and credit sinks, you really don't gain anything from alting itself, you gain those perks from grinding dailies every day for credits.

I mean....I am sure a Lexus will ride better than a Corrolla, but what good does that do when you cannot afford the Lexus anyway? But the Corrolla may in the long run give you the most bang for your money.

Google is your friend.... Ncsoft bought Arenanet in 2002. There would have been no Guild Wars without them as they were struggling to get a publisher with the B2P business plan.

What if the Lexus is the same price as the Corrolla BUT uses no gas, has more color options (char design), and some (not all) better features and the only thing lesser is it's radio (VO)?
