And don't tell me mounts aren't like mounts in other games, i know that, but they could give you the opportunity to buy just a trash mount only to travel, but they don't do that, because they want to push you to buy the expansion. Originally posted by Kyastron:It's a fake free to play, if you want a mount you need to buy an entire expansion. Definitions when not concrete are up to everyone's interpretation and there are a lot of those in gaming. Personally I don't consider GW2 to be P2W, although many would. You can trade your money for in-game gold and that allows you to buy everything with 0 effort, regardless if it's a cash shop item or not.

The chances of someone doing it are slim but the ability is there. One can start the game today and in 4-5 hours they can be level 80 in ascended gear with legendary weapons. If one defines P2W as exchanging money for any kind of advantage, even if that comes in the form of skipping the grind then GW2 is very much so. If by P2W one defines strictly advantages that aren't available without paying then yeah, GW2 isn't P2W (gray area again due to the "F2P but expansions give you big bonuses" thing though). Originally posted by bm3173:When I experience a game that is P2W, it feels cheap or turned cheap and constantly marketing to you for a money drip while excessively grindy, This game is the exact opposite of that.Īs I said, very much depends on one's definition. I wouldn't be surprised if they're holding off to release it on Steam with the expansion.

Just go download the game from its website and play it now, it's still very active and the developers are working on a new expansion. Which dragged me into typing a similarly sized counter post because this is the only MMO that ever kept me interested, i respect it, and while it has issues "not being free to play" isn't one of them. So many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ problems in the world and some humans are more obsessed with irrationally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on a random MMOs Steam release. You can even buy the expansions and living story episodes with ingame gold, via converting it. There are experience and level boosting whatever things but I've gotten at least ten characters to max level without needing them, especially since the game gives you stuff like that for free. It's mostly filled with overpriced cosmetics, which you can buy with ingame gold by converting it into the cash shop currency. Otherwise, you have to buy them afterwards I think each season of like six story chapters and six maps costs like 20$ or so.
Is guild wars 2 free to play online for free#
Periodically the game has been updated with new story chapters and new maps, which are unlocked for free if you were playing the game when they were added. Guild Wars 2 The Living Story is partially free. These post release expansions which add eight maps, mounts, gliders, a new class, two new storylines and two transformative specializations for each class in the game, are sold together for the price of 30$ USD. Guild Wars 2 Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire are not free. You can play the entire game of Guild Wars 2 as it was originally released for absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ free.

I'm concerned for how a similarly named delusional post may end up or already have damaged first impressions on this game for curious would-be players.
