Rawr! I am excited about most of the changes announced by Anet for GW2, but I have been thinking about it a lot, and am rather disappointed about a couple things.
Firstly, the continuation of temp content. I was not able to play the game for 6 months. I can NEVER get back any of the achievement points, the mini pets, the gear/skins for gear or content experience of all the temp content from nov til may. So I understand the pain of anyone coming back to the game who didn' t play since launch, the pain of anyone who refuses to play the game because they already missed out on so much, that playing now would be pointless for them, since everyone else walks around with stuff they can never get. Temp content is a terrible idea, unless you make it annual, which a couple things they said they will, but overall, it is fruitless, because, YES, you should be putting new content in small pieces into the game every 2 weeks, but NO you should not be taking it back out again later. The game is not getting any bigger. The game is still almost the same size as when the game launched. Anet is just trying to distract and entertain people with something of little substance, and wasting their own money and man hours to do so. Some content in the future will be perm, but most, still temp. This is a STUPID idea.
Secondly, STILL NOT A MINI BUTTON!!!!! Why oh why do they want to sell minis, but make them so hard to use? Plz Anet Plz Plz Plz make a "summon random mini" button, where it pulls the mini from your bank, either a random one, or else one that you highlight. You can even sell the button for gems, just MAKE IT.
Thirdly, they still are leaving the gem store a mom and pop shop instead of a super mall. It is very counterproductive for them, since they are making less money by offering less to buy, and it is very constricting for the player, having less options. If I only want to buy one thing from the gem store, I would rather just farm in game for the gold. If there are several awesome things I want in the store, then I would rather not spend the time, and just spend the money to save the hours I know it would take to farm that much gold. They are self defeating with the limits of how small the store is. It needs more stuff, and more cool stuff.
Fourthly, Why announce removing mf and not saying what you are going to do to counter this on gear. Everyone who spent laurels on ascended and infusions, and all the gold on runes, sigils, and explorer's pearl gear just had a heart attack. Almost everyone has a mf set. Don't say "hey, we are going to take away something that up until now has been one of the foundations of loot gain" without saying "don't panic, we are going to do this instead". Just saying.
Fifthly, the dungeon thing, if you are going to FORCE us to play the other dungeons that make us wanna cry bloody tears, then plz FIX them to where they don't do that when you do the nerf to cof.
And finally, Anet.... I still turn into a solid robot when I blink, rocketing over the ground. I still end up in walls when I dodge. I still get stuck in pvp and cannot move and no one can do anything to move me either. I still sometimes when I emote, especially dance, only have half my body do it, and the other not. The Trading Post still has a zillion 'error posting your item' messages and will pop up empty to where you have to reboot whole game. There are SOOOO many stupid basic glitches that have been here since pre launch. The game is STILL unpolished, and it has been 11 months..... Plz fix. Rawr! :)
