There will be nothing left for PVE other than playing through the content. The PVE endgame - looking the best and being the richest will die and there wont be anyone playing PVE. Infact without a viable economy that leads to competition in PVE theres no reason to have this game online except for a 3d chat room.

Question: How is #1 (taking my level 10 character to GWEN to level to 20 & get max armor quickly) significantly different than #2 (taking a level 10 to Kaineng center to level to 20 and get max armor quickly)?
Answer: I can only do it in GW:EN temporarily because of this promotion. Other than that time limit, it's just a change of scenery.
EDIT: (re: Mordakai's post below) - My mistake, you're right.

Wounder when the Droks runners are gonna start up a QQ thread about their loss of customers cause now GWEN offers easy to get max armor for tyrian toons...

A lot of people seem to be forgeting that max armours (and weapons) have been available by reaching Lion's Arch and switching campaigns, for quite some time.
This is not new - except for the buff, GW:EN has just been brought in line with Factions and Nightfall. Hell, if you have Factions, it's still better to go there first, because it's got more armour choices and a number of high XP, low-risk quests.

I expect LA runners to still be in demand. However, no need to be run to Armor Harbor of Nightfall anymore...
Factions players don't benefit from level 10 GWEN. You can't get to Keineng Center until you're close to level 20 anyway, and they offer max armor there as well. (but, since it's easiest to level in Factions, it's not that bad)

Hmm...I personally don't mind either way. I'm neutral in here. Granted all my chars are level 20 so I hardly noticed. And only one of my chars has beaten GWEN, the rest just went to put their armor in Hall of Monuments. I spend most of my time working on titles and armor and such. And now my contest. So I didn't notice, but I do agree that if low-leveled people went into what's supposed to be a high-end area, they should suffer the consequences. I have died numerous times at level 5 or so in Kaineng City while diong the quests and it's not a high-end only area. So...yeah.

i think it makes prophecy+gwen the perfect game. (considerin anet is sellin them together).
it adds the hero component to the prophecy campaign.
with fewer ppl playin gw nowadays is useful to make the campaign "soloable" (with heros) .

Jk, but yeah, there's quite a bit of fallacy in this thread overall.
I don't have a problem with this change, though, because it got me to play on my lv15 Drunkard Warrior that's over a year old. He's lv18 now. I'd already played through all the campaigns a bit so I really didn't want to do them again, whereas I've only gone through GWEN with a Dervish. So it was a welcome change on my end.

Level 10's in Gwen does not affect the economy.
You can get to level 20 in 2-4 hours.
If they are level 10 its 1-3 hours.
Giving them an extra 3 hours doesn't kill the blasted economy, because they still have to PROGRESS through GW:EN to get to your damn high end loot, in which case they will be level 20 by then ANYWAYS.
Thats like saying because I can get a ferry at level freaking 2 from Kamadan to Kaining Centre Im ruining the economy because I got there freaking 1 hour before a normal factions would of.
My level 2 still needs to progress through the game to farm anything truly.
In which case I will then be level 20 by the time I'm at the stage of High-end loot.

A lvl 10 can easily modify a 55 - 20hp farmin build and power lvl with ease.
Dont wry about it dude. Only the little ones who cant be stuffed learning the game will be tearing through the bs anyway. You're only option is just to sit back in an area where there's nothin but lvl 20s and go ahhh much better. =)

So no need to get defensive against the lvl 10's who probably know more about the game than you.

If your questions are answered, why continue to stick around?
I see not how this could have any effect on the economy, and if you don't like grouping with people who aren't 20, just don't do it.

Anet realizes this, and is allowing people with level 10's to go into EoTN. Chances are that most of those people already have characters in EoTN that are level 20, and maybe have even beaten it. And if they haven't, why not give them a free trial and see how they like it, to make the player WANT to buy the expansion in his free trial time. Its not like level 20 takes hours to do, its a very easy and simple task (in post searing) and you're acting like its a hard and well earned accomplishment. |

Last night, while I was doing Sif's "kill the bosses" Quest, Koren's Hornbow dropped. So, now have a level 12 Ranger with a nice Green. woot!
Tonight I plan on doing Blood Washes Blood to cap Barrage... yep, this update sure sucks....

"EDIT
Ok so i've had a change of heart and I now dont mind the idea of people under lvl19 going into GWEN, because it is meant to be an open ended game."
..the entire arguement about level and skill and my view on that is not important anymore, because I said I dont mind the idea of lvl10s in GWEN.
Read that and take it in! EVERYONE! Whether I changed my mind is also not a reason to troll the thread, because believe it or not people are allowed to change their opinions. My issues is purely the buff you get, nothing more and nothing less!
There is NO reason for it. If a player is skilled (as you all keep saying the game is about skill) then they should be able to handle GWEN at lvl10 and NOT require the buff.
If they cant handle GWEN at lvl10 then they either go away and get more skill or keep playing GWEN until they can handle it at lower levels.
If this game is truly about skill and nothing else, then we should not be recieving a buff when entering GWEN under lvl20. Otherwise it removes the entire point of needing to be skilled to handle those areas at lower levels because your abilities are being enhanced (whether it be huge amounts or not).
Yet you all turn around and be hyerpcrits by saying....
"Yes the game is about skill, yet it makes it more fun to have the buff."
...so aslong as you get to have your fun and get to play GWEN easier at lower levels; skill goes out the window. It doesnt matter your abilities are being ehanced and the skill required reduced aslong as you get to play GWEN earlier and easier at lower levels.

As I tried to explain earlier, the Buff is there so that the trial players can really enjoy the game.
It's permanent so there is a reason to buy it after the Trial is over.
There's really nothing left to say, but for some reason, I just can't stay away from this trainwreck of a thread.
And sure I could have bought a green and an Elite Tome, but my point is, I didn't have to. And I like the buff. I could hang back and let the level 20's do their work (which is all that would happen with your "solution"), but really, what's the point? Just to prove that a level 10 can do GWEN?

Wait a minute... that sounds remarkably like pvp! So you basically want a pvp creation system in pve, where you make your character and their instantly lvl20, have full access to all skills, armor and weapons? You want all this so you can instantly have access to full level creatures and high end areas and kick some ass? Not to mention get better drops and more gold! |
Your OP still reads:

"Characters can now enter Eye of the North as early as level 10 by accepting the quest "What Lies Beneath" from Len Caldoron in Lion's Arch, "I Feel the Earth Move Under Cantha's Feet" from Minister of Maintenance Raiugyon in Kaineng Center, or "Hole of Istan" from Bendah in Kamadan. " I personally feel this is a complete and utter crock. Now we will have lvl10s running around GWEN (high end areas) locations asking to be run from location to location and to do quest and dungeons. |

...has it occured to them that lvl10s will enter GWEN, get the boost and farm high end creatures! Basically I personally just hate the idea, because it kills the idea of GWEN being high end content and having a sort of reasurance that most players there have experience. Also how does a lvl10 deserve to run around in high end armor or to own a destroyer weapon or prestige armor? So they have also killed the entire idea of leveling up! I'm not suggesting a players level is important GWEN was meant to be a reward for max players, and now its just.... open to everyone! |

Where's that beating a dead horse picture?
That's all this is. Beating a dead horse about level 10's getting into a GWEN and getting to level 20 ten minutes faster then they would if in factions.
And when it comes to original intent of content, since when has this been an issue to Arenanet? It all comes down to catering to all forms of play, whether it's good for the game, or for the other players or not.

This will just attract players to buy GWEN which I find a good idea. Also it encourages new characters to go through it without having to lvl up to 20. No complaints at all here

Which way do you want it; to force people to use their skill ingame or to make everything easier and require less kill aslong as its more fun?

Using a level 10 with the buff is still weaker then a lvl 20 because your primary attribute is capped at 12. So you are still using more skill playing gwen at lvl 10-19 then at level 20 all runed. Also, you have less HP and are more squishy, so surviving in gwen at lvl 10-19 is still harder then surviving at lvl 20. Just simple logic, really really simple.
Skill in GW is still irrelavent to level, so just quit the level = skill crap.
O.o I forgot the blessing increases your HP, I need sleep.

Please read this....
All im saying is if lvl10-19 can survive in GWEN without the buff because they have "skill" then that is great. That shows the have skill.
If a lvl10-19 cant survive in GWEN without the buff, then they just dont have the skill to play GWEN yet. Although the same could be said for some lvl20s.
In which case those who cant survive need to go gain some skill or learn to play GWEN and try again until they can manage it.
They do not need the buff. And if the buff has as little impact as you all say it does, and it doent effect HP and only caps at 12 then whats the point of it?
The buff may not have a huge impact, but it will have some and it will enhance your abilities slightly to make you better at an area you might otherwise have not been skilled enough to handle.
But fine! Your all happy to allow the buff because its makes the game "more fun", and screw whether it reduces the skill required.
I give up.

The buffs make levels 10-19 'slighty' less powerful then a level 20. He continues posting it makes the game easier for them and it now takes less skill.
