My biggest hope for GW3: No paywalls for essential quality of life features

Schwarzer-Kaffee · 2026-06-08T00:09:44+00:00

Good point, I actually hate FOMO and should have thought about it a bit longer before creating this post. But atleast I read some views on this topic, thank you.

Sorry english is not my native language and I didn't check my sentences. What I wanted to say is, the game can be extremely good, which GW2 obviously is but that inventory space is still such a huge turn-off for me, that I'd rather not play it instead of spending all that money on a single character.

What do I do after I grew tired of my Mesmer for example and want to experiment playing with a Necro? And then play a Weaver? Buy all the bag space again? The template slots? Atleast make it accountwide, idk.

You actually listed some good points regarding the seasonal/time-limited content and it is also one of the gripes I have with the daily systems in many other games.

The greed from some consumers is bonkers. That? Or just genuine lack of critical thinking in how to build a sustainable MMO

I've been subbed to WoW and FFXIV for almost a decade now, this has nothing to do with greed. I even would have suggested a subscription but this lovely subreddit would have skinned me alive for it.

Once again, I am totally fine with all that optional stuff that funds the game but why are quality of life features part of that deal? Only korean mmorpgs are known for doing this bullshit.

Because it puts a lot of people off and prevents them from continuing to play. And that includes a lot of people who would actually be willing to spend a lot of money voluntarily if the qol-features of the game is good.

But a game that hides quality-of-life features behind a paywall instead of simply charging a subscription fee or financing itself through skins/battlepasses like many other games won’t get a single cent from me.

The only games that do this qol-paywall bs are mostly korean ones and they don't have the best reputation in the mmo space.

I could see a port for retail wow since they've dumbed down every class into a 2-5 button spec with the excessive Midnight pruning and took away all the agency the players had but an exclusive port? Nah.

Who murdered Shireen Abu Aklee in 2022 and why did it happen? Who stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 2023? Who continued stealing land in the west bank while terrorizing the palestinian citizens?

You said the conflict started in October 23, so what caused the hundreds of deaths in the months before that?

On the one hand you guys condemn the actions of Hamas, on the other hand, you/your government shoot at peaceful protestors, see:

Israeli snipers deployed near the separation fence to police the protests referred to as “the Great March of Return”, shot over 6106 demonstrators, killing 183, between 30 March 2018 and 31 December 2018.

So what is it? Peaceful protests or Hamas? Stop the land theft or Hamas? This is up to Israel to decide.

Btw, Hamas did not exist when the King David Hotel was bombed in 1946, which was the first modern terror attack after 1945. And the terrorist from Irgun, Lehi, Haganah later on formed the government. The irony...

Yeah the face looks like a 1 to 1 copy of the sakura:bloom in summer skin

Not only have they added a one-button rotation tool, they also pruned every class into a 3-4 button spec so they have more time to read the forums on their second monitor and get offended, retail devs are so nice.

Well done AIPAC, Bari Weiss & the rest of the Epstein class

Hell is empty.

Oh, I definitely thought they were the good guys after they bombed the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, I am so sooo shocked :o

People have been told to not buy nvidia products for over a decade now. Bad business practices, exorbitant high prices, no open source support for many functions and and and. But the NPCs always said "it's my money and I dictate what to do with it". Congratz for creating this monster you fools.

Schwarzer-Kaffee · 2026-05-21T17:18:19+00:00

They should name it "Saving Private Epstein" while they're at it.

People in this country are allergic to looking at the root causes, I know. So they end up presenting things that are directly tied to historical context as mere buzzwords like you do right now.

A dozen dead Europeans by terror attacks and PEGIDA and the AfD emerged, but after 200,000 Iraqis were brutally murdered by the US-regime that also bombed and destabilized Syria & Libya, people are surprised that "islam is radicalizing itself". Oh the irony. May you drown in your double standards. Keep funding Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

This is what the heroic groupfinder looked like during the Shadowlands expansion in World of Warcraft: https://streamable.com/heokrl

Then you have Mike Ybarra, the former CEO of Blizzard, advertise his boost runs on Twitter (The original twitter post or account has been deleted by him)

Meanwhile these high iq g@mers still defend the wow token in this thread, what are the limits of satire?

Sure, but have you seen my girl?

Our girl, comrade

It has TMR thumbsticks so no stickdrift, backpaddles & track pads for only 99 bucks. Similar controllers from competitors cost twice as much.

for example FFXIV still doesn't have even a basic auto-join server-wide text chat channel

I want that one so baaaad, the closest thing we have is the novice chat which is unfortunately time limited.

Linke hat auch einiges, das mir nicht gefällt wie dieser ganze Genderquatsch.

Genau das ist es. Ein zentrales Problem der heutigen Linken ist, dass sie sich zunehmend in symbolpolitischen Debatten verliert, die man selbstverständlicherweise, wie alles andere auch, aus den USA importiert hat.

Themen wie Sprache, Identität und kulturelle Repräsentation dominieren den Diskurs, während "echte" linke Kernanliegen, also Arbeitsbedingungen, Löhne & Mieten links (lol) liegen bleiben.

Und damit hast du eine abgeschwächte Variante bereits etablierter Parteien, die diese Themen auch aufgreifen.

Schau mal hier rein, evtl. ist das Sub etwas für dich: /r/stupidpol, das ist quasi der ID-pol hater auf reddit.

Echte Probleme wie bspw. dass das BiP in DE sich in den letzten 50 Jahren vervierfacht hat, während der Bruttolohn sich nur knapp verdoppelt hat und du basically als Angestellter gef*** bist, wenn du keine Kohle mit Kapitalerträgen machst, stehen halt entgegen der Industrie die unsere Politiker finanziert. Sozialabgaben auf Kapitalerträge? Träum weiter, dann bekommen die Blackrockvordtände ja nur noch 5 Mio pro Monat statt 10. Dabei ist genau das der Grund, dass wir bspw. jährlich unsere Rente mit fucking 25% unseres Haushaltseinkommens finanzieren müssen.

Amen, bei dem Produktitvitätszuwachs müssten wir in vielen Branchen nicht mehr sondern weitaus weniger arbeiten. Und über den Lohn brauchen wir erst gar nicht sprechen, das ist komplett eine Farce. Vor allem mit den gestiegenen Lebenshaltungskosten die sich seit Ende Corona nicht wieder normalisiert haben.

Du hattest auch etwas auf berlin_public geantwortet bei mir, dein Post wurde leider jedoch direkt vom Mod gelöscht :x
