And its not the functions of forums to dictate to the game company how to run their business.If you want to do that, then buy some shares in NCsoft, you will need a lot.

I get 250 - 280 mostly on TPG to NA Servers.

Not possible as Wine needs a x86 based processor to run on , and the PI is an ARM processor.It used to be possible to buy an ARM to x86 emulator which would allow this , but the performance hit was too severe.

In a MMO, you are not FORCED to do anything, ever.People WANT something , and to get it they have to do something else, but some people dont want to do the something else, so the line is I am being FORCED to do the something else.Happens is most MMOsI havnt got a Skyscale simply because I havnt found any need for it , and Im certainly not being FORCED to get one.

The bigger problem with porting to a new architecture is that its got to attract new players, ie people who arnt now playing GW2 at all.There no point simply catering to existing players who simply want to play the game on another OS.That why theres no value in porting to x86 based Linux because GW2 can be run using Wine.What percentage of potential players would own a Raspberry PI, but not own a PC?

You arnt being forced to grind .If you dont like the game then move to something else.Grinding is all about making things take a long time , thats the whole idea of it , keeps people playing the game longer.If everyone could get everything they wanted in 1 day , the game would very quickly run out of players as they would all be bored with nothing left to do.

As above , the cpu is too slow.Try playing GW2 on an old Intel celeron based CPU with integrated graphics Laptop to get an idea of how slow the game is .May be possible in the future if sufficiently fast ARM based laptops with CPU speeds closer to 3 Ghz or more and dedicated video cards become widely available.Having to support multiple OS is a big task for a game company, so you need an extremely strong business case.It would be the equivalent of trying to port GW2 to a low end mobile phone .

Maybe there isnt any factual information available at this time because NCsoft hasnt decided as yet what the future for this game will be/.

The price of MCs is what it is .There is no correct price or any other sort of price.The alternative is for Anet to manipulate the market which is essentially a form of price control which will kill the market very quickly.The basic problem are the players who want instant gratification , or I want some new shiny NOW, and I cant wait to collect my own MCs like the people who are selling on the TP have done.
