GW2 will be the exact same- you don't make money by making free content patches, have you even played a f2p?

Look at f2p that have had content- like DDO. Those content upgrades- called adventure packs- all cost money to purchase. GW2 will be the same- either you get a new xpac for new content, or, you pay in the shop for new content.

Don't backpeddle. Your original question was how many new dungeons there were in six months, not three. The answer is two.

1. Guild Wars 2 is B2P not free to play. If 2 million people play an F2P game day 1 they have a guaranteed 0 dollars from their players. If 2 million play Guild Wars 2 day 1 thats 120 million dollars. A bit of a difference.

2. The developers have said they will be adding content regularly so are you saying their lying? I don't think so based off their path behavior.

They will buy it, play it, get mad at it, and then they will whine and cry and want their money back and WILL delcare it a failure in every forum that they can find.....even if they still continue to play it like the hypocrites that they are.

There... I just defined the average player for you.... and how they will crab walk their way to declaring a B2P game a failure. Just like they do with single player games all the freaking time.

Just because that happened to TOR doesn't mean it'll happen to GW2. We'll see what TOR's subscriber numbers are soon but I'm guessing they're on a downward trend.

All games have complainers. All games. The difference is some games have mostly legitimate complaints and some simply have tons of complainers.

Be sure we will have to pay for the famous new planet with +5 levels if it comes as an expansion, what is what you call "adventure packs" for GW1 (change the name doesn't make them another thing but an expansion).

It happens to every new game that releases. It's what todays MMO players do. They buy, they complain, they crucify, then move on to the next game in the hopper. We've already rode the wave in these forums of D3 & Tera being the next salvation followed by rampant complaining and declarations of failure on their respective forums (and , thankfully, holding D3 and Tera up in these forums as salvation going silent). The same will happen with GW2 next, and whatever other game comes down the road in what is considered a large release (Pandaland being next probably).

I does not matter if the game is single player FPS, B2P like D3, new sub game like Tera, etc. They are going to consume and crucify from one game to the next. It's just the nature of the MMO community in 2012. It's a very needy, whiny, unhappy community. Sometimes I wonder why they play games at all.
