I still remember when forum posters were saying how the gems were so cheap and how they will continue to be so cheap after the game launches. OH THE NAIVETE. Wish I could dig up some of those posts it would be hilarious to read through them right now and to see who exactly said it.

I think it's a little bit ridiculous right now. 10 silver for 3 gems? That makes it virtually impossible for me to get more bank/inventory slots without spending real money or an insane amount of in-game gold. This wasn't exactly what I expected from being able to succeed without using real cash.

When talking about e-sports we're talking about sPvP/tPvP, not WvW..
And tell me about the difference in LoL e-sport?
One good worked out game-mode trumps any amount of boring matches (TDM,...)

This can be summarized quite easily:
1. Match sequences are lacking
2. There are no objectives
3. Deaths don't mean anything

The summation of these 3 major points equate to a stale and boring sport. Players pile on points, cap and die or leave. Respawn in 15 seconds. Or toss a bunk and afk while points are added. There are no beginning, mid or late game sequences (excluding temple). It plays very much like TDM and there's a reason why those games don't attract the same attention or viewer base as RTS/MOBAs. The most important factor is lack of consequence in actions. Opportunity costs are slight or non-existent.

Can't believe I waited so many years for this game. In hindsight that was a stupid idea!

All you ascended ragers will burn out and leave soon I hope. You're just stuck on repeat. We get it; this isn't the game you thought it was or whatever.

Oh hey you ordered a cheeseburger? Here's a salad. IT'S ALMOST THE SAME HAHA. IT'S BOTH FOOD. I take your money now. Don't like it? OH OKAY, DON'T COME BACK.

100000% reasonable im sure.

5v5 is a good change but it might be too little too late.
