Good news, they’re literally doing that with End of Dragons, their next expansion.

omg finally I can live in WvW again
Been playing actively for awhile now, first toon just had her 7th birthday about 6 months ago. I’m just about caught up with all the Icebrood cheevos and salivating in anticipation of End of Dragons.
Fishing and skiffs should be interesting. As well as the siege turtle mount. But I’m more interested in getting my hands on Virtuoso. Those abilities looks so sick.
GW2 was an example of horizontal progression vs games like WoW with vertical progression. When everything is basically a sidegrade, there’s no real need to grind content that might be harder. The carrot on the stick is what gives people incentive to keep grinding in an MMO.
GW2 was pretty fun though, but it’s a game you’re only meant to get a couple hundred hours out of vs games like WoW where you get thousands.
I’ve got marauder gear. It’s still only about one or two more hits worth of health, so I run with zerker gear.
Yeah, it was fun in WvW. Lay em all down in a choke point, watch people melt haha.
I played a fair amount of GW2 a couple of months ago because I wanted to try it. My main gripes are just how FAST everything is, how little abilities you have and the fact that a lot of the animations are way too flashy especially in group content.
However I really did like the customization, talent trees, abilities overall, the amount of weapons you can use, the stories and leveling systems.
Not having a gear treadmill sounds delightful honestly. One of the worst parts of WoW is that the end game is just a instanced gear treadmill.

They just lack Australian servers. I’d be playing GW2 if there was a server or two.
Just to warn you: the Gender Binary Jormag doesn’t care if it lives or dies as long as the mindless beast Primordus dies himself.
So i’m wondering if you have ever actually played Gw2, yes gw2 has a different form of progression though meaningful as they are always updating there classes with new elite specializations to add even more skills and variety to the game unlike wow who only adds temporary borrowed skills, and yes there combat system is there own and is far from latency based its its more skill based and being able to read the iframes and skill casts, you clearly hate the game with how you tried to knock everything down but gw2 does have better mounts than ffxiv and i’ve played ffxiv for myself and honestly the mounts are better than WoW’s as well. The problem with wow is its overall design concept has become bland and linear with its temporary skills and little to no room for creativity in there designs. As for calling gw2 a dead game thats just not true lol, any game that has players playing it is not a dead game especially when it averages a pretty decent amount of active players per month. And i’ve played swotr as well and can say gw2 has a much better transmog system and a more intricate one at that while swtors is simplified and often gated.

Bruh, if you bothered to read my other replies in the thread, you’d see a lot of what you said addressed.
I press shift to dodge and it doesn’t happen instantly, defo not latency based. I’m just not skilled enough to will my character to dodge after I press the button.
If they don’t have a monthly sub, then how do they make their money?
I think guild wars 2 has the best mount system of any mmo.

There’s a cosmetics/convenience cash shop.
You can convert gold to gems so its not awefully different from how WoW works nowadays.

Microtransactions.
There are plenty of items on their store, the vast majority of which are cosmetic, none of them add player power.

MTX for transmog, cosmetics, conveniences, story, and game upgrades (to collectors ed etc…)
The story is carved up in seasons, and if the one you want to play isn’t the current season, you cough up Gems (MTX currency) which can be bought with money or exchanged for gold. There’s also the box price of the game.
GW2 isn’t bad, its just not the exaggerated masterpiece the OP tried to portray it as.

Their mounts are pretty fun and have some cool functions along with them.

The game is fantastic and you really don’t need to buy much of anything tbh.
It’s okay though, it’s not the game for you.
