Assuming species is just rude. You dont know me. I could be an above average intelligent salamander.

 

Just saying.

If you where that would be really cool! :)

I have zero interest in paying for a new race, and would not buy any expansion that only offered a new race unless it was something that had a Human body type (Elves). I would have no problem with a new race if the minority demanding a new race paid for the development process themselves, but they won't.

I would like to know how something unpopular could ever be "an enormous profit", ArenaNet would be lucky if it at a minimum paid for itself.

 

But the dwarves were already in Tyria. Granted, they sacrificed themselves to I think it's ok to stay that way, but no new races because they can't pop out of thin air? How about kodan, then?

Or maybe just a salamander.

But I doubt enough new players would come to GW2 specifically because a new race was added to make up the cost to implement one.

 

I also doubt there would be enough people buying extra character slots to make up the cost to implement one. Even more unlikely as players would most likely demand free character slots like they did with HoT.

 

It’s not a financial gain simply because they can make sales on character slots. There’s more to it than that.
