i find this news VERY heartening, even with the follow-up qualifier. GW SHOULD move on to GW3. GW2 is old AF. it's very limited to the technology of its time. it has had a remarkable run, a SUCCESSFUL run. that fact that it might end is in no way a strike against it. the fact that we could get GW3 is a sign of its success.
this announcement has inspired me to RETURN to GW2, pick up the new expansion, and continue the story because i know it will likely continue.
