- Comment on Guild Wars 3 will have no battle pass or subscription because ArenaNet studio lead doesn't want to "keep people hostage" 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s what I was referencing. Really only Season 1 was FOMO galore. Season 2 and onwards was replayable - true, you had to log in to unlock it for free or buy it afterwards.
They stopped doing this some time ago. Later the Living World releases were tied to expansion purchases amd now they don’t do LW at all but only have yearly expacs.
They also reintroduced LW Season 1 to be replayable.
So it was a journey, but they get rid of the FOMO mostly (depends if you count seasonal events and stuff)

GW2 also doesn’t gave any FOMO stuff (at least not anymore) that I can think of. And only FOMO thing they used to have was the way they were releasing updates - and the content was put back in eventually.

I have one for a long-ish time, started really using it now. It is daunting at first (still is) but I can feel the potential. You just have to invest some time in getting to know it and how to set it up.
Proprietary apps might be more user friendly, but I guess that’s how they get you. Also, I imagine HA is easier if you want to set up something overly specific.
I’m still in the daunting phase though.
