Why would I pre-order something that is either (1) not telling me what exactly is included or (2) it is telling me, and that is really all there is for the money.
Judging by the production value of the content what's already in, being promised fully voiced stories, I'd say, one can imagine exactly what one will get. My only problem is that it comes so soon after f2p. I just joined the game, subbed, now I have to pre order an expansion ?

10 bucks is an exigente pizza, having onions, olives, oregano, mushrooms, and another secret ingredient on it, I eat one in 10 minutes.

Got it ordered already. It's less than what I payed to watch "The Hobbit " a few nights ago which was a 2,5 hrs of fun. Will continue to sub and get all the stuff until the day when I am no longer having fun, so far that have not been the case

This is true. That is not even close to enough content to call this an expansion. Please do NOT even compare to WoW or Rift expansions where they both come with tons of content.

This is just another slap.

Are you seriously suggesting they do expansions like WoW, no content for an entire year and then selling it as an expansion for 4x the price of this?

Enjoy your 6 button endgame combat and mindless zerg gameplay...

Enjoy the bland and generic levelling experience, I am sure all of those "dynamic" quests that have been copy/pasted from Warhammer Online will keep you entertained for maybe 15 mins....

Yes, I am SURE you will enjoy GW2...as much as I will enjoy not having to read any more of your blatant whining and trolling on this forum

Lol perhaps the most retarded thing I've seen posted yet, and I'm only on page 3.

GW2 most certainly doesn't have the story content SWTOR does but it has far surpassed it in every other way. Every class is viable, and has multiple, MULTIPLE builds that allow you to fill a variety of roles from support, tank, heals or straight dps.

Zerg? Our guild of 30 routinely takes on the entire SoS, and JQ hordes and absolutely dominates them through effective use of our terrain, siege weapon placement, choke points and crowd control.

As for Halloween, Anet listened to the complaints of the community and TWO days after the first event they released a recipe for people to use in the Mystic Forge that allowed them to acquire the very things you seem to be upset about and as far as cash grab? You really must be disconnected from reality. I've not spent a dime in their Gem Store because they happen to have a wonderful Gold to Gems feature.

And you must not be playing on a Tier 1 server, because we have queues on every Borderland, every Spvp map has 16/16 players 24 hours a day, and the Cursed Shore has massive Karma/Gold farming waves of people doing the dynamic events.

You have every right to personally dislike a game, but you should atleast use facts. And I'm sorry you failed at the combat system. I realize it's hard to find an effective trait/gear/weapon/trinket combination when everything here is pretty straight forward.

You are right about the story though, but in all honesty I wish whole heartedly that swtor had given us a subpar story and had all of the other features GW2 offers.

I don't remember ever hearing of an MMO expansion with leess impressive initial " this is why you wanna buy it!!" pitch. I hope they have something to tell about it that has even theoretical change of making somebody exited.
I've seen a few expansions with just one new zone. thing is these new zones are often GIANT

Pre-ordered!

Even if we get no more class stories (Which is kinda speculation "yes i have read those datamined things and all those things) I think if they focus on planet quest line I think it will be just fine and great!

5 levels and 1 planet is really short time to really develop class quests anyways...

And once game went f2p paying for expansion like this is what u just got 2 live with.. and its really not that expensive at all...

An Empire Divided---they added creature moounts and vehicle mounts along with some changes to combat.

Jump to Lightspeed---Space combat was added along with two races--Sullustan and Ithorian and I beleive a craftng profession (can't remember which)

Rage of the Wookiees--Added one planet--Kashyyyk

Trials of Obi-Wan- Added one planet-Mustafar

And these were not given to us--we had to pay for each expansion if you were playing when these came out.

sooo 20 bucks for a planet and 5 levels??? what a ripoff the $9.99 price tag should be for the free to play people and charge 5 bucks to the subscribers. now if there was a new race then yea i could see 20 bucks but this is just ridiculous!!!
