[Stop letting free account into WvW]

@"DemonSeed.3528" said:Just so you know it's not just free accounts, it's also paid accounts too, should they block those too? After that, start blocking people who don't have a certain expansion?

It's not free accounts that are the problem, it's people that are the problem.

PS - Btw not everyone on a free account is there to 'troll' WvW, you do know people like to play this mode? For example I know someone whose played years on an ftp account and they are nice a dedicated player, should we suddenly boot them out? No. Should we boot potential players? No. Just no.

Let me expand a little further. All of the people I've seen pull tactivator have been on hot/pof accounts - do you know why? Because there isn't any repercussion. It's just the way tactivators work. You should be asking for changes to tactivators or claiming guild should disable public activations.

Asking for anet to block ftp from WvW when the real problem lies elsewhere is like asking anet to block ftp from pve because someone is following you around every map or something.

To add on, it's not always nefarious. I had a long hiatus from the game and returned after these things were added. I had no idea what they were or that they were only usable once, so I used one of the SMC ones (I believe it was one of those air bombers or something?) because I saw a usable switch. I haven't since because I know this now, but when you have potentially tens of thousands of people that don't know about this stuff, it's easy to see them being used a lot and to think it's "trolling" even though it's tons of different people.

@Ayrilana.1396 said:WoW hasn’t made a sequel. Every other MMO that released a sequel has not carried over the characters from the previous game. This doesn’t apply to just MMO’s either and it is incredibly common. I’m kind of surprised that you made that argument.

It’s also technically not a loss as you’d likely still be able to play GW2 just as people can still play GW1.

Well thats the point, blizz don't want to nullify all the player's progress. Thats why they don't do that.And it was mentioed here aleardy, if Gw2 will have stand-alone successor, that will successfully take away company's attention. Gw2 support and player base will be Decimated.Gw1 servers are kept online only for Hall of Monument's calculation at this point. Player base there is very critical.

And honestly, Hall of Monuments rewards are not for everyone's taste.

I don’t believe that’s the reason they haven’t made a sequel.

Players moving on to the newer game is how things go. That’s the lifecycle of a series. Nothing lasts forever.

Exactly this. GW3 would likely only come out once they reach the limitations of their current engine and/or content. Past that, it makes far more sense to keep building on to what they already have. The only other case I can think of would be if revenue from GW2 dropped significantly and they needed a way to push a new game, but it would have to be above and beyond GW2 to get people to buy in.
