Boycott the Storage Update!

Imagine if this poll was a reflection of reality, and your maths was right: 75% won't buy. But perhaps the remaining 25% will.

And if 25% of the GW population bought just one extra tab of storage each - that would add up to a substantial income for A-Net... storage tabs would be considered a "win"... and any boycotters would simply go unnoticed.

Fun fact of the day:

New bags will feature up to 20 slots. That would give you 30 aditional slots per character. For weapons/armors only, true, but those are what eats most storage. Thats about tab and half.

Read the thread and Linsey's own words: people buy it for convenience, simply. If you want space but don't care about convenience, buy char slot or account.

About the price: I thought it was a bit high, but when you consider this pane for 2-3 years (until we may no longer play GW1) at $10 against 1month of WoW, it's not a bad deal.

that tells of the info from off site

I don't see how his experience in developing the Battle.NET software for Blizzard has anything to do with what ArenaNet decides to do with GW1 when GW2 comes out. O'Brien's experience with bNet appears to have been technical, but it will be a business decision when it comes time to determine what to do with the GW1 servers.

all i'd say is why buy storage when you can but another character slot for same price or another account then get z keys pluse 4 character and another storage chest.......................

ingame gold and such i can see. This whole update looks like a waste of valuable time that they could have used to add more usefull content.

QFT!

/Signed. I'm strongly against such selling gameplay advantages for RL money.

Sorry? What gameplay advantages?

Convenience of not having to swap between chars or GWx2 various accounts. Convenience is the keyword here, $10 will buy you convenience.

They are offering what people have been asking for, how is that a waste?

how do you know atm all they hold is 10 after rune of holding

unless they have said it would be differnt

I bought 5 or 6 additional character slots, and will probably buy these storage upgrades.

Besides, it's optional and they're gonna have to store more data, which means upgrading equipments etc. Has to come somewhere..

Be happy that we're even getting more storage.

I think this is outrageous that they even considered charging us money for extra storage space!

Don't bother. Rational < rage in here. Despite the fact that this is indeed what the developers themselves have said was the case, people won't accept it. Despite the fact that they STILL HAVE THE OPTION to either not buy or buy a character slot or an extra account if that's what they feel is a better option then they can still do so. Despite the fact that everyone in the game is getting FREE expansions to storage as well as an additional optional expansion, people still think they're being ripped off.

Boycott? Screw your "boycott." Don't try to ruin things for the people that want these upgrades, especially when, as stated so many other times in this thread, there are other options still available for you in lieu of the $10 tabs if you choose them. ANet is not mandating a price increase on Amazon or Newegg, ANet is not negating $10 character slots to make the tabs more appealing. You now have an extra choice. No one expects 100% of the playerbase to choose the "newest" or most "convenient" option. Some will, and some won't, as with character slots, new accounts, and whatever other optional legal enhancements to gameplay are available.

You mean like you pay for extra accounts or character slots for mules? Everyone was stoked when the Prophecies accounts were $5. Everyone USED to complain about character slots being $10. Now everyone is saying that's an attractive option.

Lest we forget, you're NOT BEING CHARGED for the 20 additional slots PER CHARACTER that you can obtain. That's 200 slots if you have one of each profession. A $100 value. Free. So shut up. They're not charging you for extra storage space. They're charging you for superfluous storage space in the case you feel it is necessary in addition to what they have given your for free or in addition to the other options that currently exist.

ANet can charge whatever they want for extras in the game, as long as they don't require me to pay a monthly $15 fee to play. I am SO GLAD they are doing what they can to keep the game from having monthly fees.

boycott = /unsigned

$10.00 for the optional storage = too pricey just buy extra toon (unless the price for extra toon is going up)

Equipment Packs in assorted sizes - Why? what are we having to do to get largest EP? Why would you want the smallest pack -

Every character will get a fifth slot for an Equipment Pack - okay you give me a extra slot for the pack but how do you get the pack?

Will we be forced to do Zaishen Challenge Quests to get 20 coins to get the biggest Equip Pack? I hope we will not be forced to complete a portion of the game for equipment packs.

Storage update is optional and there are no monthly fees for Guild Wars so all is good here.

This storage update was a community out cry that we needed with all the stuff that has been added to guild wars over the last year or two; con sets, books, armor,minis, keys, tonics,inscriptions etc. The last time they updated storage it was free but it was based on how many guild wars campaigns you owned. Now they charge you money for all the extras they added since they don't have any more guild wars chapters to charge you for.

Basically its a waste because its going to effect small percentage of guild wars players not every player like free update. I'd rather have a new elite area added to locations of FoW, UW, but under one of the other gods than this or a new weapons mod trader which would get rid of 2 storage tabs instantly on my account. Unlocking pets that have been tamed is a good idea. We get a free character pack slot we'll most likely have to quest for.... holds only certain items.
