I'd like to see more variety in gear. As far as level, weapons, and armor goes, I don't expect there to be a level cap increase or any sizable boost in armor defense or weapon power.

I definately don't see the game progressing anywhere near the whole characters getting to level 100 or wielding an Epic +4 Vorpal Sword of the Rabbit.

Network!!

A-net will put in other armors but it won't have better stats. It will just look different than all the armors from chapter one

I sure hope so.

The stats (levels/armors/weapons) are good. No need to change just because people want to be m0r3 ub3r (while forgetting that it only means that the opposition will be m0r3 ub3r too). Treadmill: no thanks. Choice: yes please.

I'd like them to make armours like Knight's/Ascalon (damage reduction doesn't stack) or Performer's/Noble's/Virtuoso's (more armour while casting? with fast casting as primary? awesome!) actually worth buying. The worst thing is the Gladiator's Helm vs. Tacticians Helm though, where the Gladiator's Helm is identical to the Tacticians Helm, except it gives +1 energy as well. Touch choice.

Even with relatively few different armour sets, there are still many duplicate armour properties which makes the choice between them purely an aesthetic one, I'd like to see at least some difference between them to encourage more diversity in selecting armour. But as basically everyone else said, keep the armour levels straight, balance is a good thing.

getting chapter 2 may be like the academy and presear askalon with only limited overlap so you would continue on to whatever chapter 2 has and need a chapter 1 character to visit chapter 1 as you need a presear character to visit presear

No way, it will be stupid from them if they did that. block you from getting to chapter 1.
No way, Pre sear was a training camp to get used to the game.

Now on the armor issue, I think they will add armor but only in expansions where we have to pay for. If they raise the level cap then they will raise the stats, if not then they will stay the same but with different looks.

If we get new looking armor in this update it will be very nice of Anet.
Keep in mind that this is a free update.
Free is the key

#1 - is such language really necessary?

#2 - is getting so worked up over something so insignifigant really necessary?

Here's the thing... everywhere u go, all lvl 20's, there's nowhere to go from there. Getting to lvl 20 is cake, it should mean something more. I'd like to see them increase the max lvl to 25 and make getting those lvls take a lot longer than the others, like the first 10 levels = jumping from 20-21 type experience. Just my opinion

But you're not thinking cause and effect. With a level increase comes more attibute points, as well as health. So now you have a handful of characters with 16's in more areas than expected, dealing greater damage and absorbing much more than normal. Which means...

Balance goes away.

Raising level cap is generally a really bad idea because it kicks game balance in the teeth. If you have level increases not increase anything, then it's merely a cosmetic waste and something else for kids to try to dog other people over.

Clearly a rant, no proof shown, and veering way off topic already. If you have a suggestion (Please include upgraded armor in the expansion, for example) we have a forum to make suggestions in. If you do make such a post, be sure to word it and use a tone appropriate to a request. This post, as an example, would not qualify.
