Honestly defending or liking time gates makes literally no sence to me. Time gates do only one thing, remove player choice. This is what this is about.I play this game since release, never have I felt like I couldn't play the game the way I wanted until this major time gate. I am literally being forced to a pace that does not fit me because Arena Net believes it's the "wrong" pace?When people feel like they don't have a choise they tend to leave. There is a reason people try to get out of governments that remove choice aka dictatorships. Yeah this is not on the same scale I guess but its the same reasons "Oh I have the choice of not getting it" if they didnt want me to get they wouldn't even added it in the 1st place. I also genenually want to get it. They want players to get it, but its their choice if they dont, so WHY can't they choose WHEN to get it? It makes literally no sence!! They want to try sell me skins for it, as that is one of their major incomes on the gemstore, so why would they make people wait for it!? Role play!? I can do that without the time gate as well I don't get what discussion is needed here. They are taking away your choices and some seem happy with it, I'm actually mind blown Also to the argument that there are other time gates in the game, it is true there are.. remind me where have people liked those as well.. right they haven't for the exact same reason, they feel like they dont have a choiceTime gates on the legendaries are also entirely different, because people have a lot of stuff to get for those. I need 300 provisional tokens for my legendary armor and I can only get 13 a day.. sure, but after I get those 13 I still a shit load of thing to do besides that, so it doesnt affect me the same way. Same can't be said for the Skyscale, has doing thee collections is the only way to get it and they dont give me anyhting else to work on that will be needed to get.This time gate was to a content that was a major advertase point of the episode (literally the 1st thing they have shown) and it affects the majority of the playerbase because it iswas accessiable to pretty much everyone that has been keeping up with the game, which is still the majority of the player base Removing players choice is overall toxic for the game and there is no argument that anyone can present in favor of it. DON'T DO THIS TO YOUR PLAYERS! Your customers! The people that are invested, that had made friendships and some even families thanks to this game!WHY ARE YOU REMOVING PLAYERS CHOICE!? Sorry the long rant but I have literally never been so dissapointed with anything game related than this. Never in my life of playing videos games I have felt like I didn't have a choice, and if I had I left the game. This game is on the knives edge for me after this and I will leave for sure if they pull another shit like this in the future. I might leave if they dont remove this one as well, as I feel I can't trust a company that wants to remove choice from me. Whenever that happens my choice will be to leave, as at least that one they can't take away from me
