You've been consistently proven wrong but you don't want to admit, see it, or accept it. I know you won't concede because people often don't concede on the internet. That's ok but the topic is shelved as far as I'm concerned. Unless you can put forth a quote that says "We are not looking at F2P" or "We were improperly quoted" or something to that effect the cased is closed.

There is no endgame in the normal sense of the word but people aren't talking about that. When people say it has a lack of endgame content it means when they get to 80 they won't have anything fun or interesting to do which isn't true. They also think that no 10 man instanced raids means no PvE content which is again completely false.
The game features a whopping 8 dungeons (3 at endgame) and no endgame raids. As far I'm concerned that is no PvE endgame.

I don't even know why you're championing GW2 here anyway, shouldn't you be on the Anet forums?

Here's a scary thought..... soon GW2 will go live and after a few weeks the locusts and armchair experts will pronounce it "FAIL" and "cooked and finished"..... which pretty much only leaves them Pandaland to use as their success benchmark forecast to compare to so the forums will get Panda'ed big time. That is going to be some funny doodoo.

The funniest part about when GW2 gets pronounced "FAIL" is that they cannot claim it will go F2P in 30 or 60 days.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

It may not have traditional MMO end game ie: grinding dailies, doing "heroic" dungeons and raids but it most certainly has end game content.

Guild Wars 1 had endgame content, despite what many people who never played the game say. They just also rushed everyone to max level so 90% of the game was considered endgame.

The thing I really don't understand is people pay 15$ a month to play WoW or SWTOR for example, and what content do you really get? is it worth 15$ a month?

Is 1 warzone 1 raid and a new daily hub worth 60$ to you? It takes AT LEAST 4 months for these two companies to release this content if not more. Rift is probably the only sub based MMO worth it.

Yet Guild Wars 1 released entire expansions for 40$ every 6 months yet it's not okay? Think about what you're actually paying for.
Those who beg for mercy are too weak to deserve it.

"Each of our dungeons is divided into story and explorable versions. The story version of each dungeon comes first, and completing it unlocks the ability to run the explorable version. In turn, the explorable versions of the dungeons have several options (usually three), each of which creates a different set of challenges and goals in the game. So, when we say that there are currently eight dungeons, we really mean there are thirty-two dungeons, as each dungeon has a story version and three explorable versions."

Second no ones championing anything I'm just tired of bs and lies spewed by fanboys. If you want to say something that blatantly false I'm going to point it out it has nothing to do with what game we're talking about.

This thread isn't even about GW2 it's about the B2P method and how it could work for TOR. But people obviously came and spewed nothing but uninformed bs and I corrected them so hopefully, just maybe, they could learn something.

No, still think I'd prefer paying $60 + $15/month sub fee.
What content? The content we've been getting since launch has been bare bones
