So, why does ANet favor the noobs and punish the veterans?

I kinda feel the same way as Kapral (awesome name by the way, isn't that what the Egyptians called the Sun at a specific point in the sky?).

Anyway, I doubt very much if these updates are done to spite the veterans of the game. Games like GW and WOW (and the like) are always being updated and new things added. The game can't stay static. There is always something new being developed. As an ex-system engineer, I can say with a large amount of confidence that Arenanet probably has a timeline with changes and additions to the game that goes out several years and probably more.

Well if you have completed all the titles then good for you, and go do somet else ingame orrrrrr DONT play anymore. You cant expect Anet to pander to the players who have done everything ingame. They have to draw the line somewhere.

Its better to attract new players to keep the world moving.

Exactly.

Anet includes new players in content updates because Guild Wars requires money to keep it running. Without some degree of steady income, there are no servers let alone new content, updates, or skill balances. You pay no monthly fees, seriously stop bitching when they add content that isn't veteran-exclusive.

<-- 4,359 hours 53 minutes, for the record.

That, among many other things. There's really no reason not to.

Take a break and relax. This game only has a few yearly events (Holidays) and one monthly event (Treasure Chests). There's no reason to have to play it every day outside of competitive play.

Yet we humans need the trees for shelter, and we plant them to keep the enviroment err...sorted.
Like Anet has to give in to the new players, to get more money (Which goes to NCSoft), to continue with productions.
