We probably should have known ... that Gyla Delve wasn't an exception but the new normal. I now wish GW2 could have gone gracefully into Maintenance Mode during Icebrood Saga instead of becoming a Walking Dead Parody.
Path of Fire (€29.99) which included Living World Season 4 and Icebrood Saga (if you logged in once in a while) was the last full expansion we got. Now compare this to Secrets of the Obscure (€24.99).
Though I don't think that greed is the main reason why we are getting a lot less bang (content) for the buck today compared to back then. My impression is that the code base has become so fragile that every little change has a high chance of breaking a thousand other things, which makes development (and the cleanup afterwards) very, very expensive.
Here is my take: remember City of Heroes? Has nothing to do with the codebase, I'd say. It's just NCNet now, mate. Like ActiBlizz. It's not a flesh puppt yet, took a while for Blizzard, Bioware and Co as well. But it's not going to get better anymore.
Half a season of Living World over twelve month for almost full price. Fuck me that's grim.
Yeah. I cameinto expectation that with all the changes to internal functions, paying more often for a new expansion is the new norm. I mean its kinda obvious, given the extremely short turnaround time between EoD and SoO.
We are in the era of 25$ for 3-5 maps + its story content, and I think itll stay that way till GW2 is unprofitable.
Its going to follow roughly the same expansion cadence that FF14 has (ehich is about every 2 years)
