I think they where not received well, due to the way they where implemented behind grindy completions.

What kind of business plan, is annoying and pushing away current player base.. a we are getting towards a new expansion.. Anet should be ramping up, communicating more ..just going backwards. I m not going to buy the new expansion I see absolutely no reason to so far!

Wherever I go on the maps, there are always people that join in the activity with me. I never feel like the game is empty, as opposed to a lot of other MMO-s. So honestly, I have no idea why people keep saying the game is dead. In a bid to keep this on topic as it seems people are just reading last comments and replying to "bots" My comments regarding bot where in response to a comment stating: mmopopulation say gw2 has 600k active accounts - My reply was basically to say how many are real accounts and not bots?

Ofc if someone millionaire want sponsorship this is can be real.

I could be bothered suggesting a band aid... how about getting rid of all the bots?

In gw2 low bots values. .. less than 50% I am sure. So in mmo world this is called: no bots. > > I think you underestimate the issue.. go and play pvp and complete all the seasonal rewards. I find very hard to come across a party with zero bots some have x3.. pvp is used to farm gold due to the reward system.

Aslo not small count player play only personal story in single instance and you never see them .. Many play in const party cm/raid content and you also never see them. .. > > >I thought that here I will find out the truth to say so. > you need first understand terms of word.

Why am I being forced to do these strike missions.. I do pve for the story.. I feel I am being forced to play a game style I do not like or enjoy.. I dont like raids.. but thank god they are not implemented into the story also.. This story was a big disappointment for me.. if you are going to force players to play a niche can we have a skip the crap button, and just see the story or dialog.. I would happily forfeit the terrible rewards ie exp and 1000 karma for 20mins of horrible repetitive content.. its just awful. I bet it look longer to produce the trailer than the content.

I am only going pvp to get some gold and asended for my alt, but it makes it even harder then these bots are there
