MAybe during GW3 or GW4 if it makes it that far, but not for GW2. Track record for W3 development is......poor.

10v10? Why not 5v5? Seriously in the early days 20's were the way to go. Most skilled groups at the time? 20's. Then some moved to 15's and others moved to 25's. Not been hearing a ton of, "10v10 are most skilled." Might be the most fun for you, but others prefer larger, and some even prefer smaller.

Inertia and entropy as near as I can tell.

You are kidding, right? Seriously WvW is "everything you expected and more"? Roaming like before the structure upgrades, is DEAD since time ago. You barely will find a solo roamer more than five minutes in several servers 'cos, as soon as they're killed, the call the hordes for getting a kitten campament. The fights stopped being fun when Arenanet made balance patches unknowing what is being played in WvW. And yes, the fact they split the balances for every game mode was a shy, but good step... but not enough since clearly they don't play it really. Or should I remember how a developer who isn't in the company anymore dared to say "WvW is fine" playing in the server located in last place in the leaderboard in Europe? How the hell a dev can dare to say such thing without checking the server status prolly? WvW is far to be what is supposed to be. Siege should be challenging and fun, not "let see how many sieges we can put inside for defending", either "oh, this server is empty, let stomp the map for PvDoor!". Battles should be fun, and not "grab moar necros and bubbles!". Matchups should be fun, and not the kitten Groundhog Day week after week! You ask about promises? Good, let talk about promises... like making WvW worth to be played, with a balanced system and teams. They sold the Linking World as the way to balance... and let me remember, what happened with this? OH! Guild Wars 2 became *Bandwagoning Wars 2". And you say that "WvW is everything you expected and more"? Well, look outside and see how many *don't" think as you. #shameforGW2 I'm not sure where these people come from. Perhaps they should've included /s in their post. WvW was fun for a long while. It hasn't been in a long while. It may or may never be as fun as it was, and tbf it's too late for most of those that left already.

Already done.

Problem is that when a commander leaves, especially a well established guild commander, a good portion of their guild leaves as well.My guild leader recently went on hiatus. Instead of 30-ish running 5 nights a week from my guild there are 5-10 running a couple times per week. The rest of us followed to a new game, at least for awhile. The stagnation of WvW is leading to a high degree of burnout, and yes it will increase as there are fewer and fewer experienced commanders for other commanders to coordinate with. Alliances are too far off to stop the trend.

P2W implies paying for an advantage, not necessarily winning. Don't really think most players feel like buying an expansion is P2W. Buying an expansion is all about keeping the game afloat. Remember Death Knights? The tankmage of WoW. Had to buy the expansion to be able to play them.

OH did you think gw2 wasn't p2w? Here's a shocker for you, buy expansions or get ran over in wvw and pvp by players with overpowered elite classes that can only be obtained via buying an expansion essentially making this game p2w. There are several core professions that are excellent in PvP and in WvW. I've been roaming around on a Radiant hammer guard lately, and having a blast.

Cook 3 meals of ramen instead of picking something up and you would save enough to purchase an expac. Eat ramen for 3-4 days and buy both. Then this discussion ends. I really have no sympathy here. I still say that mounts, while very nice to have, are not mandatory to play WvW.

How about we add a feature that gives players extra power in wvw based on the amount of money they spent on the game? One is expansion is nothing compared to what many people spent on the game. Why should people that spent that measly amount on PoF and Hot be on the same level field as those who regularly buy gems. Warclaw was not part of Pof anyway. Only people that spent more than 40 $ in the last 2 months should have it. POF gives access to mounts, just like HOT gives access to gliding. By your reasoning, just because Warclaw wasn't in the game in September 2017, it should be available for everybody. And why would somebody spend $40 on gems instead of $20 for the expansion? Oh, should core/F2P get Skyscale and Roller Beetle too? Only fair, because they weren't int he game in 2017, right? If I roll my eyes any harder I'll be able to see my brain. They could put flying mounts that drop 1hko bombs for $1000 and I bet you will all think thats perfectly okay. Nope. But if they had a new expansion for $30 that added flying mounts who dropped bombs, I would think that's perfectly okay. That's been their model since GW1. Buy base game for base content, then buy expansions for new content. Absolutely nothing has changed. I'm just going to stop posting in these entitlement threads. It's mentally exhausting. Sadly with the previous mentality of a lot in this thread, if you pay you deserve to have such a ridiculous advantage and those who dont pay dont understand that this is a business that they are running and should suck it up. Pretty much flipping the entitlement argument on the ones that think p2w is perfectly ok. How ridiculous. Have them pay with Honor Points, Memories, WvW Marks, or less then 3 gold. Pick one.Entitlement is wanting what the paying customer gets without paying yourself. You want to play the game you need to support the game. Every game requires expac purchase to get expac features.

Can f2p players make posts in forum? No expacs. Base game. Might as well be F2P.

So players can buy the game, and enjoy all the items and perks that go along with purchasing the game. Seems right. So players can play the game for free, but some of the items and perks that come with the purchased game are not available to them. Seems right. Free players complain that items and perks should be available to them the same as to the players that spent money on the game. Something off here.

It's not unplayable for you. It's inconvenient for you. There is a HUGE difference. I don't get a tremendous benefit from expansions either, but I like to pay my way, and I'm not willing to be without some possible advantages.

Assuming you're able to just wait til prime time. They'll flip.

It's a mechanic that is supposed to rein in transferring problems. It actually kinda worked for a bit, but now ppl less concerned with pips than fun so......
