No, but the thing is, people WERE whining about how bad things were in GW1 back in the days, but for some reason all those that talk about how awesome GW1 was seems to forget those things. And that IS nostalgia. GW1 had LOADS of problems back at its release, but for some reason people seems to ignore those.

Proof? Examples?

I've posted a link before to Guru 6-8 months in and the level of negativity was nonexistent compared to this game. Go look the threads are all still there.

Want to know why? Because ANet made a good game that didnt appeal to some people and those people left. They didnt try to sugar coat it. But regardless of whether people liked the game, it was very well polished, balanced and had good mechanics that created depth and replay-ability.

Proving blanket statements without examples doesn't really help your cause. And, finding 1 thread as an example won't cut it. Look at the overall picture and you'll see what I mean.

Actually I would say that these news are actually good news for the game.

It more or less means that they can (and probably will) have the game up for several years yet, while before this information they could have shut it down anytime.

Considering we all know they weren't going to continue adding content, I agree. The peiple who still play GW1 will be relieved to know it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

It is still sad, however.

This actually looks kinda cool.

In Topic: I finally get why you can easily rep more than one Guild

I just dislike the whole "rep" thing more than I dislike multiple guilds. It creates problems with guilds wanting you to rep them all the time.

Actually it wasn't. It only looks that way because of nostalgia.

A very good example of this is WoW.
People are always talking about back in the good old days in Vanilla. But while the game actually was in Vanilla it was more or less a beta and people complained about more or less everything.

For some reason the "good old days" are always better when they are the "good old days" than when they actually happened.

How do you go from No GW1 isn't more cohesive and well-designed to "look at WoW?"

Nostalgia or not, there are concrete reasons people feel this way and to use WoW as an example of why GW1 isn't as good as GW2 seems like a bad argument, no?

Why not talk about what you think GW2 does better instead of making it about Nostalgia and a completely different game?
