GW2 is still a chart topping MMO's and always in the top 5 or 10, on almost all MMO sites/reviews, so I would imagine there is a constant influx of new players.

The MMORPG genre is getting stale, and there aren't many new titles coming up. A lot of new players go for MOBAs or shoothers like Overwatch and Paladins, and developers go that way as well.

Therefore being 5th in charts that feature Runescape for example... isn't that prestigious.

Also, many new players will be going the F2P way, and while several will upgrade, i don't know if there's enough new blood to offset the loss of veteran paying players. I mean look at PvP, especially, they admit themselves there isn't enough people queuing for the matchmaking to work properly. That ends up lowering the quality of pvp, and thus bleeding all the pvp-centric players away. It's a snowball effect, and Arena Net has to do something they're not very good at to fix this... They need to work quickly.

I voted other -

following the announcement from MO, suggesting that Gemstore purchases help fund the game and the future content made, we kind of already knew they did, but as he emphasized the matter - I would be more than happy to pay a sub, if cool stuff I normally/used to buy from gemstore is obtained in game.

I came here from an mmo that never got the financial base it's creators needed so they stopped putting any effort into it. That was sad to see. So yes, I'd do a sub and would buy gems to help keep this game going.

Actually, I did start doing that. :)

Yes, but there should be NO PERKS. Just a gem purchase equivalent to how much you pay. I don't always remember to buy gems, so this would be a way for me to contribute steadily.

 

Any perks at all means pay to win, which I am strictly against.
