Why not B2P like GW2?

best thing about gw2 release will be the increase in intelligent constructive posts here on our forums.

What is endgame? Is end game grinding dailies, doing Raids and dungeons? If so then no, Guild Wars probably isn't a game you should play.

If endgame is something like exploring towns, doing puzzle events to get chests, partaking in World vs World vs World battles with 3 entire servers against eachother, or Structured pvp tournaments then hell yeah GW2 has end game content.

The best part about GW2 is, it isn't a boring grind fest with a carrot on a stick, all end game armor is purely cosmetic and doesn't require a 6 month grind to be competitive.

The main reason the MMO genre is so stagnant these days is because everyone wants just a carbon copy of the last big MMO ie: raids, grinding dailies and dungeons, that's boring. I can't speak for you but I'm burnt out on raiding and grinding dungeons. I want a world that is worth exploring and FUN things to do. Guild Wars 2 developers have captured this feeling and they don't even require a sub fee.


What end game content does SWTOR have this is so super awesome and worthy of your 15$?

This game is good but nothing out of the ordinary. Just great story and voice overs.

Good joke. You forget the WoW fan boys. You forget just because people will be leaving to gw2 that this game is better? This game is good but nothing out of the ordinary. Just great story and voice overs. [/y]




I believe this game is better an I won't be going to even try gw2.
Just like some believe in a " " and won't try any other " "

which is in fact out of the ordinary for an MMO. You have contradicted yourself.

i think this is a verry good idea. They can have small dlc witch you vave to pay a small amount to make monney

like a pvp dlc, flashpoint dlc, companion dlc.

This is actually a model that a lot of companies including Blizzard Entertainment has taken into account. You figure by now they have so much revenue incoming that a 15 a month subscription is completely unnecessary. You aren't paying for the content they dish out. You are paying 15 bucks a month to fund their servers which they can easily maintain on their own. Guild wars has released 95 plus updates in the time it has been played and over 3 expansions I believe with no P2P model. Guild Wars 1 successfully had a F2P MMO for a good 8 + years I believe it was and they survived very well I may add for a long time. Even now as I log on my account the game is still busy with people doing things. A F2P model brings a lot to the table. You get more people playing because of no worry of paying a fee every month. Wasting money when they can't play because of maintenance and such. (Guild Wars 2 seems to solve the maintenance problem by doing it while you play which is awesome.) Yes the money you lose from it is very minor but it builds up over the months/years.


A F2P is a better model for both sides and a lot of MMO developers are considering it more and more each day. Look at Aion and Rift. (Sure they aren't that great of games but they still have a big playerbase). Also LOTRO is still doing well as far as I know.
