So I have to buy the living stories just tp play them? I get it the price of the game content is 200 diamonds but still why do I buy any game Content after buying the game ? They should just do what most games do and do monthly fee MMorpgs are just a money sink. we all know this but it is getting to the point were you just are big money of you have to tack a loan out on your house just to play the game . I know if I Don't like it then don't play it yup I got it No need to say it .One more thing this game could do it if you are a new account you should get living story 2 for free.
First of all, we have already had two times "Return to..." which where timed windows where you could get LW episode for free from just log in and get an email (which unlocked that episode). Last episode ended now in December with Champion (IBS - LW Season 5).
In other words if you wait long enough it will probably be possible to get all LW season for free as it very likely that ANet will run a new "Return to..." when they will release next LW season after EoD have been out for some time. With that in mind I don't think there is any need to change how LW season works as players can buy or use Gold to Gem during that time for parts they need like unlocking of Skyscale or to be able to farm Unbound Magic (you only need one episode to get access to map and that currency).
As far as this discussion is going too much focus is put on money aspect without even talking about that this business model also exist to prevent new players to rush too fast through all existing content and end up bored that there is nothing else to do when they get to last story episode in this game.
So let me get this straight [Merged]
