Your Opinion on the Current State of Job Identity/Balance in 6.4?

"Not a lot play it nowadays" based on what data, if I may ask? There is no official data, but average consensus seems to be that GW2 has half the daily playercount of FFXIV in droughts, and 1/3rd of FFXIV when patch drops. GW2 compared to FFXIV has very steady playerbase, unlike FFXIV's cycles of droughts.

All of that with virtually no marketing and without having "Final Fantasy" in their name. You remember that Sia song for Endwalker? 10/10 CGI trailers? I bet that did cost more than total marketing of GW2 per expansion. Considering all of this, and that GW2 has much more customer friendly business model and is made by much smaller company, I would say that game is doing incredible.

Thinking that MMORPG should just make a sequel is deranged from reality. Why do you think that WoW 2 isn't a thing? FF11 and FF14 are not sequel, they're very different at the core, same as GW1 and GW2. MMORPGs are about long run, nobody wants to lose all of their progress just to switch to sequel which just iterates on prequel. And if you make sequel different, then original players will be against the changes, which is exactly what happened with GW2. Either way, players will be mad.

Gw2 is free yet has way less players than ff14 and WoW. There's no denying it.

Gw2 is dated. Even WoW looks better than it after it's Legion updates and that game is dated. It's silly to believe that a gw3 shouldn't have been in the works as gw2 isn't gaining a lot players over time anyway.

Mind telling me how you found out that GW2 is free? It has free trial similarly to FFXIV, it let's you level all the way to 80 and do all base game stuff with some limitations. But it's still buy once to play and has no subscription fee. There's no denying you talk out of your ass when you don't even know this.

Speaking about talking out of your ass, you still didn't tell me where did you get the data which concluded that GW2 is unpopular/dying.
