    Even in the wildest of scenarios this doesn't make a sliver of sense.

    GW2 is the only new gen MMO that promotes being casual and hardcore friendly and actually have something to show for it. Makes perfect sense.

    Oh, is that what the (PR) developers said? How cute.

    Regardless, it doesn't make a sliver of sense considering their subscription model (or the lack of it).

    On top of being impossible to accomplish.

    "BUT THEY SAID IT IS"

    All MMOs need to be designed around everyone. Not casuals alone. Not hardcores alone. A mix for everyone.
    Then arises the question "how?" And everything falls apart.

    But idealism is not concerned about petty details such as reality, so keep on believin'!

    A F2P game can't do well for itself? The original GW sold 6 Million Copies of the original game not to mention the 3-4 expansion packs they put out over a 6 year period. 6 years is a good shelf life for an MMO if you ask me.

    Except Guild Wars isn't an MMO. It's a 3-D Diablo clone.

    And such a hardcore-friendly game it was indeed.

    You could clear it in two weeks.

    never said it was hardcore. I was talking about GW2 until you brought up F2P.

    Based on my experience with GW1, where the game doesn't even expect you to level on your own and you can START the game at max-level, there wasn't a more 'casual' MMO on the market back then and I don't feel their direction has changed with GW2.

    Ah, GW2 isn't F2P? It uses the same model.

    I don't even know why you brought up GW1, cause I sure as hell didn't.

    It's buy to play, by the way..
