This time, Mike O’Brien responded about what data shows about how Anet makes money. Just not my style.Īgain, uproar about the price.
#Gw2 timekeeper skin#
Yet again, another mount skin I’d never pay for. Fine.īut then, they proved they really didn’t change anything with the Resplendent Avialan skin, again, priced at $25. There was such an uproar about this, that the team responded with a kinda-sorta apology that ultimately changed nothing about the Mount Adoption situation, since people had already spent money there. Throw in the fact that you could buy the whole lot for over $100, and try to tell me that’s still considered a microtransation. But I stick to my principles when I say: There’s no way I’m going to pay for a chance to get something I like. Unlike the $25 mount skin, there were some skins in this I really like. The Warhound got drowned out by the whole Mount Adoption RNG crud that released at the same time. I remember looking at it and thinking: Man, that’s not an overly attractive mount skin for that kind of money. THEN came the first 2,000 Gem mount skin - the Reforged Warhound. I didn’t have a problem with it beyond that. I didn’t like that it was a forced bundle of skins for all mount types, which I’d never use, though. Then, they released the first mount skin bundle for Halloween. There was no sign of cash shop shenanigans in the beginning, so I thought things were safe. I even went out of my way to get the griffon mount, which was a big achievement for me. I liked how they made things light years easier for me to accomplish in the open world, which is the only thing I really care about in GW2. I truly enjoyed the mounts (though some seemed a little redundant in function), and felt they were solidly implemented. I didn’t think the story won any awards, but it was better than I remember Season 2 being. I pushed this out of my mind at PoF release, and played the game for what it was. So, while I’m happy to see mounts in GW2, part of me knows that this is just another thing for them to milk in the cash shop. So why not mounts? And other MMOs have shown mounts can be sold for a pretty penny. No doubt, A-Net is probably running low on new glider ideas by now. We all know what else a mount system introduces - cash shop opportunities! The first post I wrote about this said:īUT. Add to that the promise of large open world gameplay with lots of throwbacks to GW1…īut even back then, I was a little wary. So when Anet advertised jumping mounts and leaping mounts and gliding mounts (didn’t know about the griffon back then), my mind swam with possibilities. I’m a huge fan of mounts, especially multi-use mounts, such as in EQ2. The only reason I even looked at PoF in the first place, the one thing that caught my eye, were the mounts. A return to story and lore-centric gaming in an area of the world I was interested in exploring.What made me return to a game that I swore off? Three things. Things changed within Anet, and by the time HoT came out, I walked away from the game due to the fact I didn’t like the direction things were going. I was a huge fan of GW2 when it released, too. Long story short: I’ve been a fan of Guild Wars since GW1 was released. I need to get it off my chest… Mostly because I’m starting to feel a little like I was duped. I’ve bottled up my feelings about what’s been happening around GW2 and selling mount skins in the Gem store.
