I literally have no words, no reaction image, nothing to describe how pants on head retarded anet are.
At every turn, EVERY TIME, they some how manage to assblast necro.

>consume conditions, our only good heal, got it's CD increased to 30s. It also applies TEN stacks of vuln to yourself for no reason.
>it's effected by master of corruption, which CONVENIENTLY reduces the CD back to the current CD. It also makes corruptions apply MORE conditions to YOURSELF.
>plague spams you with bleeds every second. If you have master of corruption it spams you with more conditions every tick
>lich got it's duration nerfed, which CONVENIENTLY can be buffed back up to pre-nerf levels with a trait that now effects it
>they somehow managed to assfuck half the traitrs even more, with more trait conflicts

What the fuck am I reading, holy fuck.

Anet advertised that you needed to purchase the base game to play HoT, and even had sales to promote this. Now, Anet has priced the expansion at 50 bucks in a bundle with the base game, with no option for standalone purchases. Anet promoted the base game with HoT, knowing that it would be bundled with it. Anybody who bought the base game in anticipation for HoT just got fucked. They've also gone back and edited their FAQ, deleting the part that stated that you needed to purchase the base game, to hide the evidence. Pretty sure this is illegal.

dear community,

fuck you

did one of the marketing morons on loan from squenix get too close to the keyboard when they were figuring out a pricing model or what

[lumipharon]

What Anet has done is possibly illegal because of false advertising and shit.

They pushed the vanilla game, for people to get before the expansion, then we find out that everyone that gets the expansion, gets the vanilla game for free.
So anyone that bought the game before that, is essentially getting scammed.

it's just silly

i can see the marketing mentats running this through their complex, video-games-are-a-business mindset

"consumers will desperately want to consume this, so we can name whatever price we want! $50."

taken king is $40 bucks

[Luke Cox]

$40 with a character slot would be fair in my opinion

[IcePacks]

i bought four character slots for $40

it was cheaper than the expansion, at least

[lumipharon]

I already have 8 character slots, and I never play engineer so I don't really care.
But if necro stays this pants on head retardedly nerfed, I probably won't bother playing.

Anet unironically has no idea what the fuck they're doing.

[IcePacks]

but we're the best development team around! our community loves us! how could they do this to us!?

EDIT: guild wars finally managed to buck me off after two years
TWO YEARS for the guy who has been playing this horrible spessmen sim for a decade
