I can unlock and maximize the size of all those for a reasonable amount of gold that I can earn just by leveling up my character through quests. Leveling a new character over there right now in fact and have already bought all mount speed upgrades as well as the largest bags (Lightless Silk Pouch) possible through casual gameplay. I didn't need to stay on specific maps and farm specific content for many hours on end (or swipe my card) to have access to the largest possible storage. A QoL that doesn't exist in WoW for example are infinite gathering tools because gathering has no charges on your tools. You also no longer need to carry a tool for them nowadays. There is also no button to send your crafting materials to your storage because the easy access to plentiful backpack space as well as items granting temporary access to the bank and the mailbox makes such a feature redundant. Many of the QoL features free-to-play games have are solutions to inconveniences implemented into the game so that the solution can be sold. Lot of GW2 fans here don't understand this. The QoL issues here are done on purpose to make us pay to give us that QoL. Meanwhile that is non existing in those sub based games. 4 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, selling QoL feels to me like the developer has purposefully broken their game and is content to sell the fix to users. 3 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's pretty much exactly what it is. Purposefully creating pain points, trying to balance it so you won't be scared away completely, but you might just be frustrated enough to get out the wallet. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky.9751 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) If you just want the lore, I've watched this guy's videos before to catch up on things that I've forgotten from breaks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXxajKC5Zpk Or you could buy the ultimate end of dragons expansion and get the 4000 gems to buy all the dlc that way. the story is just more expensive in this game compared to ffxiv, but there's also no sub cost forever. so that's a bonus.

Come on, this is hilarious. How can this be a thing? These stories should come with the expacs. This is disencouraging. I don't want to farm for 50 hours to get a storyline.. I wish they just combine the side stories with the expansion and up the price. No more confusion. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, penalize those players who prefer to purchase content with gems by jacking up the price of the expac? 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
