Why we have so much abomination in GW?

I want to clearly state, that this is not a compare to any rpg or anything, neither any complains towards ANet.

So I was thinking to myself, why us, the GW community, always wants more? Lets take Runescape for example. I have been playing it for a very long time (stopped thought). I have NEVER encounted any complains about having new stuffs in RS, like places, weapons. Maybe it does exist, but in a far small amount.
Now, I'm asking myself, why? Is it because Runescape is monthly fee, so by the law they have to make new updates each month, and GW doesn't? Dont get me wrong, but, GW isnt monthly fee, but ANet KEEPS giving us stuffs! I'm sure, NONE would make an update like ANet did with SF, and giving us new greens at prophcies, doing so many updates, care so much about this game...Most are just making the game, releasing them, making some patches and leaving it like that.

I think we should be thankfull already for what anet does to us at the moment with all the updates, enough with all the whines we do. It is humans mind to whine, but we are doing it too much.

Thank you ANet...

Ever heard the phrase: "Give someone an inch and they'll walk all over you."?

Well, I imagine it's something like that.

People won't be satisfied with what they have. And the day human start being satisfied, is the day we stop progressing.

Whining goes on in every game community. I can't speak for Runescape, but I'd be surprised if it was as healthy as you say. Take a look at other MMO forums, it's a simmilar story everywhere.

That said, I think the Guild Wars community has a rather jaded habit of always thinking the worst when there is anything open to speculation. Possibly if Anet didn't have a history of dropping the ball with community relations this may not be the case.

Actually, in other games there are cries about new things. In Ragnarok Online people were crying because Ninja was extremely overpowered in PvP/PvE (mainly caster - 1000 DPS with high dexterity and instant-cast) or that new bosses are too hard (lol 10mln health and wiping out 30 players at once...).

In Diablo 2 people were crying when Hammeradins were created - a paladin using Holy Hammer dealing 16k dmg with each hit. Or when new runewords turned rich people into Gods. I mean, barbarian has to run to you, right? And when he does Whirlwind he has to get somewhere, so he is at your mercy. But if he gets Teleport skill from the runeword Enigma (which also allows any class to have 90+ strength with no investment), he can teleport on your sorry ass, then whoop with Whirlwind. Or same goes for the aforementioned hammeradin.

And of course let's not forget W40k: Dark Crusade players, as some of them cried that Necron general can only resummon only double the normal army limit (before the patch he could have almost unlimited army - just like Necromancers in GW).

Because when 1 side is happy, the other one is sad.

It's normally people to want more , but yes we should be more thankfull to ANet for making such a awesome game , of course there are some points i want to see improved but its not something very important like in other games. GW is the most balanced game in PVP and im very happy to be part of it

Any change that makes some people happy is going to make other unhappy. Major changes (PvE/PvP skill seperation) are going to make some people VERY happy and ruin the game for others, so you're going to see a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth (and rightly so, IMO).

The funny thing about anet is that they dont care about money that much...look they could make mothly fee.No.So do as other free games n make online shop for all game updates like uber swords,items,animals ect.No.
That's probably just a coincidence that they are selling an expansion giving the most overpowered piece of crap in the whole world of gaming to attract new customers, instead nerfing it.

Btw, whole your post is a bunch of jibberish. I have no freaking ideas what you mean by ,,what's that for an idea to make 90 mils title'' or ,,low one so all equal''. Plxor less Engrish more English.

- Press back button in your browser and count the number of whining threads on this forum. Then go ahead and count the number of whining threads on Diablo II forums. Surprising difference, eh?

- Did extra stash space make some people unhappy? Did adding extra dye colors and build templates make some people unhappy? Learn to make difference between constructive additions and controversial decisions kthx.

And that's still not enough, now we need higher character levels (unlimited) and more loot of higher quality (unlimited neverending) Anet might as well go full force now into the MMORPGway cause that's what the MAJORITY of people want. A NO MONTHLY FEE WOW. They will make millions going that route instead of the stale max level 20 and 15^50 weapons with very few usable mods for them. Need some haste mods and invisibility and levitate skills which I hope to see in GW2.

The game is literally designed to kill its own longevity, hence it's boring after awhile. This is common knowledge, so expect irritation from customers used to games that are designed "for the game's sake" to be fun long-term, vs. GW which is designed for Anet's sake to constantly put out new versions.
