Scared about ARR

You also don't type right.

oh thank for telling wow u sooo damn smart person...... dumn shit english is not my first language u dumn ass if you trying making fun of me idc dumn ass

I'm not trying to make fun of you at all. I'm merely pointing out the fact that if you expect to come to the english boards, have people take you and your opinions seriously, and not take the time to properly type things out, then you're in error. You're acting like a child. It doesn't matter if it's not your first language. You should at least have enough of an understanding of it to not sound like a child before trying to come here and call out people who disagree with your opinion.

Also, beyond the language skills, you're attitude itself is childish. Things like "oh my god, please kill me", "dumb shits" and repeatedly using the phrase "dumb ass" in a single run-on sentence has nothing to do with with language. It has to do with a shitty attitude, an immature line of thought and an inability to convey your thoughts more maturely.

It's similar to me going over to the Japanese boards, using Google Translate for all my posts, then expecting them to take me seriously while acting in an extremely rude manner.

Stupid phone. What i meant to say was that the GW2 system doesn't effect gameplay. People hate RMT because there are sellers spamming everything and the economy gets screwed up. GW2 has an exchange system that lets people who don't buy gems get them at an exchange rate for gold. You can use gems to get just about anything the real money gets you all through farming gold. This is balanced by the karma currency. If some dude with money to burn wants to buy gear or black lion keys he can. The only difference between him and the guy who bought the game on black Friday for 2 dollars is that dude with money gets that stuff sooner than black Friday guy. That is a micro transaction system as it should be. I farmed the mats to get a plushy griffin pet during the Christmas event last month with friends. If i wanted to buy the other Christmas pets i could have, or i could have farmed more mats for them.

GW2 is a shining example of micro transactions at work. Because save for a few inconsequential things, all items are available to every player regardless of monetary input. Those who wish to save time spend money. Those who wish to save money spend time. And the key component of the game (gameplay) is unchanged and solid. I haven't dropped a dime on GW2 and all my gear stays current because my buddies and I craft for each other and hunt big events.

again, Im not saying xiv should go F2P, but if done well its very effective and lucrative. I am considering spending a little cash on black lion keys to open all my bl chests. I could farm them, but i kinda want to open them all at once.

This system is good, but for GW2 and the company. SE won't go this route as their system setup for the game is going to be different.

Another point to so other post I've read. GW2 is not free to play, as you have to buy the box to play it. That was the developers plan for the game from the start of its development.

They solve their RMT issue with the mirco transactions they have setup, which is done well. I, as a player do not have to spend real money to by gems for the in-game store. I can simply farm gold and by the same gems to buy stuff from the gem store.

I just reached level 80 on one character. And I have to admit I am enjoying the exploration of the game, while I wait for ARR to go into beta. They did a very good job where exploration is concerned. Maps are very intricate and detailed, with a lot of hidden secrets all around.

The story may not be as good as what SE can dish out. but they way the present their story sequences I like. And the World events that occur on the map are fun to go through as well.

I say this to say. That I hope Yoshi and team are playing around with that game a bit to see how the exploration of the world is setup. Cause that I can admit, as a FF fan, GW2 has done well.

I didn't even like GW2 when I started playing it. But I've had more fun with it than starwars or Tera that's for sure.

Oh God, don't even joke about that. *shudder*

Just as Google Translate doesn't magically translate Japanese text to understandable English, it works just as bad in the other direction. I've even seen it uproot words and drop them into a completely different sentence. Even for languages with similar sentence structure, unlike Japanese and English.

SE won't let it go F2P, need revenue for expansiosn to be good.
