Dont think there is no one working on the game , as a player was banned for botting last week , so there is some one monitoring the game you do not need developers to ban a botter, all they need is a customer service responding to tickets and multiple botting reports from players they will need to start from the start, there is barely any old timer GW1 devs left at Anet, even if there is, it's gonna take them quite a lot of effort up skill the newbies and going through those spaghetti codes chasing the bigger money was never the reason why Anet moved onto GW2, it was the fact that the game had become extremely complex to maintain due to the massive pool of skills they need to balance, even Anet said so in their interview Well i am not sure about income part , i think i heared or read somewhere cant remember well , that if the add-ons they added later made a good money , they will think about updating the game/ adding new stuff , but not sure if it was an attempt to encourage people to upgrade their accounts. Someone on reddit collected the numbers, adjusted for inflation their quarterly earning were on pare with GW2's quarter earnings, especially the fact that GW barely had any micro transactions til EtoN came out; at a stage GW was account for up to 22% of NCSoft's Q earning against the massive pool of title they ranhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/7bzor8/arenanet_a_complete_history_of_earnings_since_2005/http://global.ncsoft.com/global/ir/quarterly.aspx Anet was capable of pumping out a full standalone game year after year means the earnings were well enough to pay for the development; justifiable enough for NCSoft to cut City of Heroes series instead of Guild Wars Guild Wars: Utopia was gonna be the 4th game, but was shelved for GW2 development, the background work for Utopia was rolled into Eye of the Northhere's the statements from the team for the cancellationhttps://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_Utopia#Cancellation if they are ever gonna spend time on development, the only thing i want is GW2's wardrobe to store the kitten tons of minis, armor and weapons i haveYou literaly killed my dream , thanks for the info , but .. adjusteing few things , like favor of god obtaining mechanism wont hurt and wont require much work , as number of maxed titles required to get gods favor should be adjusted to match the number of active players.
