> @"Sobx.1758" said: > This is not gw1 forum btw :D True - But since there is no official Guild Wars forum and this one is hosted under the "guildwars2.com" domain it seems appropriate to direct questions and concerns regarding Guild Wars in this direction. Especially since Anet have chosen the "guildwars2.com" domain as an outlet for Guild Wars news such as: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-guild-wars-anniversary-celebration-begins-tomorrow/ (Also: Guild Wars never had a 1 attached btw :D)

I don't quite get your point. People buy computers for other reasons than gaming, even if they enjoy gaming. > I play on a Macbook because I was doing a lot of photography and when I bought this laptop 6 years ago it was the only real option to go with. Luckily it is also decent enough to play GW2. Are you saying that anyone who decided to get a Mac at some point in the past should also be able to afford to get a Windows system too if they want to also play games? And they should have expected that they should do this? > I am not trying to define what anyone should be able to afford. I am saying that most people need to prioritize. Your choice 6 years ago may have been perfectly in line with your specific priorities but most people, options, life (and priorities) change over the years. If you cannot afford to buy a gaming PC (or simply prefer to stick with your macbook) then your (supported) options seems to be: Bootcamp or parallels. Both of these requires a windows license and if you want to stay inside Mac OS X you also need a parallels license. The licenses alone is about half the price of a windows laptop that would perform a lot better than your 6-year old mac, but hey: Priorities! And to be blunt: If I want two things and one excludes the other because of ressources... Then I need to get my priorities straight!

Well - The cash shop in GW is still open. When they (Anet) accept purchases of costumes, missions, char slots, xunlai panes etc. they should be able to provide some sort of minimal support. Actual changes to GW, balance etc: OMG please dont! Before the last GW devs left we had some nice QOL features added. After that... The GW2 inspired elite skills were just a stupid mess.

My wife used to have a mac and her solution for gaming was own a second computer that can have the fun while using the mac to do the work. now she just has one good pc that can do that work and have the fun. > > Not everyone can afford to own two computers..... Very true but... 1. On a tight budget 2. Likes to play computergames 3. Choosing a Macbook as first and only platform Priorities - Get them straight! Sure it sucks but don't blame Anet - This was the result of an Apple decision! Streaming might do it but that could be a budget problem - Emulation (virtualbox/wine) just won't cut it for laptop mac's. Nice of Anet to offer refunds when it was Apple that screwed their users.
