sorrry if this has been asked

I hope not.

My initial take was that GW2 would be out far earlier which would allow people to decide which HoM rewards they would go for, if any.As such I'm hoping there will be a 6-month to a year transitional period at which point I can decide to go for any HoM rewards I want.

I can't be arsed grinding the HoM based purely on speculation and I'm not the type of player that would enjoy doing it for any other reason than getting something I actually want in GW2.

Thinking back to my statement that pretty much all of the game can be done with heroes and henchmen.

There are a few missions that if you want to get the full reward for them are tricky.
Its not the basic toughness of the opposition more the tactics needed for optimum sucess.

Aurora glade in prophesies is a lot easier if you can split the party which is a lot easier with 2 or more players.

The Luxon and Kurzic missions in Factions one where you defend the glade Kurzic is dificult though not impossible with heroes.

But the Luxon mission escorting the baby turtles isn't one I would like to try with just AI help.

cant wait to be a charr but i think itll be dead before the release of gw2

I appologize. I was exagerating to emphasize my point. There are a lot of fun things to do in GW1, and there are a lot of grinding things to do too. Armoring up your heroes, unlocking all the PvP things, etc.

If they are going to suffocate GW1 by not letting new GW2 folks use the HoM, then I am going to start just playing for fun, and not amass wealth and continue to polish my chars and heroes (thusly polishing the brass on the sinking ship). I enjoy playing with people, guildies and pugs alike.

If Anet does not allow New GW2 folks to use the HoM, GW1 is going to collapse and be even more empty than DoA after the Ursan Nerf.
