1) Absolutely not

2) Absolutely not

Both make the game better. If A-Net doesn't care about the game then don't implement them. If they care about the game they should.

these are things that should have been taken care of a LONG time ago and are to the detriment of this game as it currently is

1: Yep. When they take the money from my cold dead fingers.
2: same as number one

They already have a one time fee for extra storage. it's called Character slots!

No fees is the only thing keeping me playing atm =)
But I do agree with the person who suggested 1 time fee, as long as it's cheap :/

no. I would pay any subscription for anything. I'm a 'one time payment' type of guy

Gotta agree with you all tbh. A one time fee would be acceptable to upgrade the account (depending on how much they asked) but I too wouldn't want to pay a monthly. It's the reason I don't play most other games and I'd hate for GW to fall into that catagory.

Also agree, would do it if it was a low cost about $5 sounds right as a one time fee.

If anyone really wants more storage, they can simply purchase another character slot at a one time cost.

I would never pay a subscription, one time fees aren't bad, under 10 buck. I would pay for extra storage, but not an auction house.

I would have to say no on both.

I dont like the idea on having to pay to play a game I already spent $150 on already and if I had the money to blow I would also unlock all the PvP packs and buy the GotYE so that would be another $145 give or take so that would answer that.

Nope. If I wanted to cough up money for a subscription then I'd be playing a non-instanced game for that money instead.

The only thing I would even consider paying a subscription for would be more attention to the pvp side of the game. Seriously, get Izzy some help and fill out some of the potential this game has. I don't care about char bags, mini pets in towns or storage space.

I feel tempted to say yes just to be different...but no...a monthly subscription is like paying the bills and I play the game partially to get away from the mundane world which revolves around...paying bills.

If it is an option you can choose to do it or not...that's why a one time fee is acceptable. We know the devs put in a lot of work so they deserve to be paid for what they do. But a lot of people like myself were looking at WoW and GW and then saw that GW had no subscription fee...that won me over and I don't regret it.

No question about that, the question is if this is what we want, don't think so. It would be more practical to have bigger bags to store weapons and armors for one character. Kinda ridiculous I have to pick up weapons or armor parts from mule number 6.

Also the storage account should be a lot bigger. When you wanne sell a bunch of weapons now like we see here on Guru, you have to switch a zillion times when buyers come get their stuff. 'Sec man, that sword is on mule number3, oh you wanted that staff too, err make that a minute, it's on mule nr5.'

Hey Anet, this horse has been so beaten it looks like a mule by now. Enough horses and certainly enough mules. Get out that ivory storage tower and give us some quality storage.

I absolutely agree. If you are consistently having this problem, you may want to consider creating (or purchasing) another mule and emptying your storage onto that mule. That would leave your storage open to transfer whatever items you need to use (or sell) all at one time, instead of having to switch characters several times in the middle of playing. I basically do that with all of my characters, which takes a few minutes before I start playing each day (versus completely disrupting my playing experience).

Yes, making PvP ready characters takes up a hell of a lot of space, and when you want to go do some PvE, there's not a lot of space left for drops. And this is only 3 of my characters, and not including storage or what mods and the like the characters are carrying.

That is the good thing about have 1 or 2 mules around if you can remember where put them.

No and no.

They could throw in some more storage space in the next chapter - that might make sense in that someone who owned all 4 chapters would potentially have 10 characters and more need for storage.

This probably belongs in the idea forum and even then I would suggest that people not come up with ideas for game enhancements that we would have to pay for.

No I wouldn't. If they should be short on funds I would rather pay a little bit more for the game itself than a monthly fee.

The thing most people forget is; We don't have to pay a subscription but we still hvae to spend $50.00 on the game and if they want to continue to have us pay $50.00 they must keep us happy.

I know one of the main points of GW is the fact we don't need to pay a subscription. However I reckon some of the reasons we don't get some of these things (I may be wrong here) is that it'll take more server space/usage which in the end costs Anet. If this is true, would you be willing to pay a small subscription ($2 a month maybe?) to have more storage and a decent working in-game auction.

This would be a totally optional thing, with the game staying exactly as is for the most part, but with the option to pay for this service (like the crafting material upgrade but for real money). This is not a sudgestion so this is why I've put it here and not in the idea forum. Just wondered what people thought?
No i would not pay for either, since a-net owes us these anyway

Oh, sit down. They don't owe you anything that you haven't already paid for.

I've noticed that you seem to have severe entitlement issues. Anet doesn't owe you anything, you already got what you paid for and that is the game as it comes.

The general poll is obviously noone would ever pay monthly for GW unless some MAJOR changes happened that aren't going to happen.

The only reason GW ever even got popular was because it was free. Honestly the only reason I picked it up at the store over WoW was the one-time buying fee only.

People get the idea Arenanet owes them an Auction House and additional storage space for free because they said they would add them for free. Hey, wait a minute...

The only thing I would pay for is for Anet to undo the AoE nerf. Undo it only for me that is.

I would NEVER pay a monthly subscription for this game, it is simply not good enough to warrant a subscription, people know this. Guild Wars is the poor mans WoW, or the man who does not want to forfeit their life into a game(WoW). If you have the free time available(you will need.... a lot) and have no quarrels with paying a subscription then you should be playing WoW.

It's a joke if you are foolish enough spend countless hours in guild wars, there is simply not enough content and the time spent would be completely wasted. At least in WoW you can consistently upgrade your character into infinity, the game features(auction house, crafting, everything, character movement(you can JUMP and climb over objects instead of being glued to a static grid on the ground and not being able to walk on a patch of grass)) and quality is superior (no instanced world is fantastic, guild wars cannot afford this due to not having a subscription fee) and the game / campaign does not finish after 12 hours of play.

*note this is not a guild wars bash post, I favor this game over WoW for reasons stated in my post*
