if a cash shop sells 100 items where 5 of them are pay to win and are needed in order to have better gear. The company will not starve if they remove the 5 pay to win items and sell the other 95 items over and over and over.

 

This kind of comment are the most idiotic in history. No offense to you, but to every comment like this one that come out.

How do you know the game company won't starve. I don't think you can even imagine the budget needed to run and keep a game like this running. I agree with bub and every game company that either charges a subscription or cash shop items. Nothing is free, people need to eat, people have kids and responsibilities that require money. I don't mind paying for anything thing MMO related. I have spent over 8000$ on MMOs in the last 10 years. There are plenty of people like me that don't mind paying. If you are a broke teenager/kid and you want to play MMOs in this day and age, GET A JOB!

Fallen Earth

Xcom: Enemy Unknown

Most 3D MMOS allow you to walk/run if you press both mouse buttons down at the same time.

BTW I thought this post was about being able to play an mmorpg where you are a mouse and you get to nibble on cheese :D

I started playing WOW in November 2004 and quit in Aug 2005. Never looked back :)

Your theory is incorrect

95% of big game developers make games for the profit. That is it. In theory if they listen to the community they will in turn make a good game which will generate money.

You have to factor in greed, when you do then you will understand why they make games and do not or only paritally listen to their audience.

I cannot break down the schematics of how this works, i'm sure most of you get it though.

I know this is not an official support forum but I have no other place to go.  See below.

I have plenty of MMO experience and this has to be the most retarded and frustrating experience I've ever encountered in an MMO so far, save for maybe SWG launch back in the day.  Even my indie MMO experiences were never this bad.

I bought the GuildWars2 Digital Deluxe edition 2 days ago from the official site and played the last couple days pretty straight.  Level 19 Sylvari Ranger on Sorrow.  Talked to maybe 5-10 people tops (mostly trying to find some areas on the map).  Did a lot of exploring mostly during that time (mainly in the grove).  My character's name is not obscene or anything sketch.  Single-word name.

After a break (and working to pay the bills), I came back home tonight to jump on and get an error window saying that my account has been terminated for a bunch of obscure reasons (see image attached) that gives me no insight to the actual reason why.

Now, I wasn't super upset or anything yet, just shocked.  Stuff happens right?  Maybe hacked or wrongly accused. Off to the support site I went to submit a support ticket.

Can't log in with my account to the support site - says my account is disabled.  WTH?

So the $80 game account that I paid for 2 days ago is banned / terminated for no specific reason and I can't even log in to the support site to submit a ticket?  The only thing I can do is log in to the account section, which does absolutely nothing for my situation.  Can't access the official forums either.  Now what?

I'm able to create a new support account so I can at least submit a ticket to ArenaNet.  I fill out the ticket and submit it.  Get the confirmation email.  Come back a few hours later...

Can't log in to my new support account to check the status - disabled.

Are you f'ing kidding me?  Is this a conspiracy or something?

I was able to submit a 2nd support ticket without registering but it seems like they are just deleting my tickets or something.  Somehow ArenaNet hates me and I've only played their game for 2 days!  If this keeps up and I can't get in touch with anyone I feel like I'm going to have to get a refund and all that time I've already spent is wasted.

I can honestly say that there is nothing that I can think of that I did during these past 2 days of playing that would be considered bad in any way, shape, or form.

--------------------

I'm looking for any help that anyone can give me.  I have both incident support numbers which I will provide below.  I'm posting this on another popular GW2 forum site because I can't use any of the official avenues to get support.  If I could get on the official forums I could ask a mod / red name.

Here's my support tickets:

[Incident: 130206-000289]
[Incident: 130206-000775]
Account Unique Name: Rytz.1836

If anyone can pass this info along to a mod on the official forum or some kind of official support staff, I would greatly appreciate it.  Please PM me with any info.

Thanks in advance.  It's almost 4am and gotta be up in 3.5 hours.  I'll check back later tomorrow.

Who cares about these stupid games! Go out and get laid! You will forget all about these shitty mmos.

WOW!! You guys should give up MMOs. Its like drugs. You do it for years just to get the same high you got when you first started. And you never get the same high down the road.

Unless technology changes, there will still be the same shitty MMOs being released. Its all about money.

GO OUT AND GET LAID AND FORGET MMOs!

Just so you know, almost every game, and for that matter everything you do ( except for sex ) you will get bored of after a while. I face that boredom problem after 1 hour of playing most MMOs. Even after buying top of the line games that get so much hype I get bored. I have quit the search to find games to play because I know even if it is made out to be the greatest game on earth, I will get bored of it. This has led me to grow out of games.

I recently tried Path of Exile. I think is a great game but I haven't logged on in the last two days because I became bored of it. It is not the game, it is my fault. Its just something in my personality that cannot do that anymore. I don't berate people for playing games, but I don't know how people can play them. Maybe its just me.

Maybe because you prefer action rpgs over MMOs. Because PoE is none, they say that themself on their homepage. ;)

That is true it isn't really an MMO. I went from complex MMOs to simple ARPGs. Nice!

I know myself quite well and I know eventually I will stop playing this (I think). But what is it that keeps me going back everyday to play this. Usually I d/l an mmo, install it and play it for a bit, then forget about it.

I wonder what it is that makes me play this everyday. I think it is the graphics and sound. I'm trying to pin-point it. I have played many games like this with the same controls. Same point and click, kill. So what is it?

Why live artifically in a computer game when you can live in real life. The whole world is out there for you to create. There is so much land out there to build all these things you want in an artificial game. You can be affecting multitudes of real people in real life. Something in you says, "no you can't do it" find out what that thing is. You will discover that it is just an illusion.

Why live artificially?

I wish i didn't buy GW2, not because I think its bad. But because I am growing out of games and I keep buying them from time to time hoping it would be a new experience. Alas I try it out and get shafted all kinds.

It is a good game, I wish they would give refunds though. To me its like i wasted 50$ for something I would never play again.

Or paying 50$ only to play it for a few days. I could have taken that 50$ and go get a happy ending somewhere instead.

Blah!

they are giving out refunds :P

WOW thanx for the info, I just submitted my refund request now. Waiting....

Games seem to be best just after a technological leap (when games make use of that new technology that you haven't had time to get used to yet).

 

I reckon we will experience it again after virtual reality glasses get mass produced.

I agree, when virtual reality becomes mainstream, with the headset and later on without headsets, then we will see a vast amount of new features and technologies being used in games. That is the next big leap as far as games are concerned. Right now, as long as its on a PC or console, it is very limited to what those types of hardware can offer. As long as you are using a mouse and keyboard or game controller to input into a game you will see the same types of games, give or take some new features added, but mainly the same types. As long as you are looking at a screen ( as apposed to wearing a VR headset) you will see the same types of games.
