Actually, you have no idea how fast they will be.  So don't pretend.

it's dev talk but arenanet hasn't given me any reason to doubt them

http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/04/28/guild-wars-2-designer-talks-post-launch-content-and-getting-the-community-to-play-together/

also another interview they talk a little about post launch content

http://venturebeat.com/2012/05/21/guild-wars-2-interview-monetization/#s:guildwars2-16

one question in particular

GB: Subscription MMOs like World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic offer free content updates besides paid-for expansion packs. What are your plans for expanding and improving Guild Wars 2 long-term? Can customers expect any content additions for free, or will they only come in the form of expansion packs?

O’Brien: We’ll have both. Players can expect the same level of ongoing support from Guild Wars 2 as they would expect from any top-tier MMO.

nope, its 525600 minutes.

:P

But in all seriousness, for the majority of gamers that is over around 600 hours of play time (at most.) That time flies by if you enjoy the distractions in a game (admiring art and aesthetics, collecting, exploring, PVPing, chatting with friends, organizing with your guildmates, doing a DE a second time because it was fun the first time and you just happened to run into it again, etc etc). This is not to mention time that gamers like I waste (i play 50+ hours a week) on things like: crafting, achievements, following and analyzing in game market (i have ADHD and am very gifted with numbers, have been counting cards since i was 8 etc...so its not my fault! i swear! lol :P ), trying to not let my characters die (or go to downed state) at all, trolling trolls in game, etc etc.

EDIT for Icewhite: I just hit my 10,000th day on July 24th! XD Just 8,000 onto pooper check :(

- Post-Launch content can be added very easily in the form of events.

• - Guild Wars 2 has an extremely large live team to support this game (in form of support and new content). The game is a service and ArenaNet aims to provide the best service possible.
• - If a new low level dungeon is added, everybody can go and do it, no matter his level, and still get rewards he can use.

Either you believe them or you don't, but at least be familiar with what the developers are saying.

It's, "why ARE there so many idiots on this planet?"

I don't see why he is reading the Guild Wars 2 forum section since he 1) seems to get annoyed by the people that seem to like the game and 2) seems to not even like the game at all in the first place.

Psychologically he is demoralizing himself by surrounding himself with things that are tearing him down. It's like if a cat who hates water would constantly hop out on stones to the middle of a river....

Bad analogy really.  Posting on a forum, even if it's a forum that you don't like, is not that repugnant.  There is even a sense of relief that you've got something off of your chest..

He is just expressing his irritation with this title and its hype.  You have to admit, having the "forever" option is very silly.

Maybe not "forever," but ArenaNet specifically designed the game to exist far into the afterlife.

OP said it was inserted for kicks and giggles...as I was doing, if you read my post on this page I enjoy: trolling trolls. And this was why I made an absurd analogy. Consider yourself trolled ;)

Nah. We're betting on ArenaNet.

The best thing for me is having a game that if I dont play for a few months I can still pop into without paying again

Unfortunately all my accomplisments in WOW are unviewable unless paying a sub, 2 sad

Hopefully forever. It has all the PvP I have been hoping for for years

Until Planetside 2.

I can see Door Wars getting stale very quickly and the DE..I mean..it's a themepark anyway you slice it. I can only imagine the outcry of lack of skills come a couple months into lauch.

“We have a live team of designers and artists and gameplay programmers who are going to be flying over the game constantly, dropping content everywhere” Johanson says. “Our goal is that every time you make a new character, you might go back through a map that you played six months ago and you’re going to find completely different content.” New content, he says, will be spread across the whole game rather than concentrated in specific areas. As this happens, the events already in place will be altered to accommodate it.

“You run around Queensdale, the human starter area, and maybe the Brood Mother shows up every X minutes,” Johanson continues. “We’re going to put another event that can happen there, and then slow down how often the Brood Mother happens. Not only are there new events happening, but everything you’ve seen before starts happening less often. The world gets larger and larger. Three years from now, if someone makes a brand new character in the game, a place that has 100 events in it might have 300 by then.”

What's not to like about this?

Oh yeah, and it's free, unlike some games where you get charged $15 for several hour monthly (let's hope) content drops.
