I feel that GW2 will disappoint because it's been overhyped, and people don't really understand that no subscription meaning there will be less updates. Therefore, after people run out of content, that's it. They'll move on.

Actually, GW1 which also had no subscription had far more updates than XI or XIV had. So stop spreading misinformation, when the development team of GW2 have confirmed consistent game updates.

Update Quality vs Update Quantity -- XI had much more in a lot of their updates, let alone expansions prior to XIV's development (WoTG era was slow due to this) than GW1 did in their update cycles. Even XIV had a lot more in certain updates than a handful of GW1 updates.

It also took XI about two years after selling their expansions to finish developing the content for said expansion.

It's easy to make it seem like you have awesome updates when your patches are what should have been in the box people bought. Nothing like paying full retail price for a registration code to be told to wait three months to actually play the next fraction of the expansion.

And XIV had some great updates. But for every 1.20, there was a 1.17 to balance things out.

So the addition of sorrows furnace which was a gigantic end game event didn't constitute as a quality update? GW1 updates had a ton of content. You can take a look at Guild Wars Beyond, it has far more content than random errant patches in FFXI and XIV had.

TLDR: stop talking out of your ass.

I really hope they prioritize active 1.0 players for the closed beta. I'm on at the very minimum 2 hours a day getting XP, crafting things, helping LS members with quests.

That whole shutting down the servers "some day in the near future" has me a bit worried. Less time to do things like Sword of La Noscea, missing dungeon and primal achievements, etc. Oh well, guess I'll have time to finish Quantum Conundrum and play the PC Dark Souls.
