The Lead Designer and Lore/Community Designer of MMO darling Guild Wars recently gave an interview with a Czech fan-site. In it, they revealed a few gems about the game soon to be released. Most disturbing piece: Content is deliberately being cut to be made as DLC.

Who else but me posts GW2 updates 😎 One of the few companies I support, for over 20yrs.
New elite specializations and a fresh adventure on the magical and never-before-seen island of Castora - The sixth expansion launches on October 28!
Really ArenaNet? Don't do this guys, you are better than this, smh...
The only time they did DLC for an MMO was either....
-Expansions
-FREE Updates
Considering GW1 already did that and it wasn't a hassle, why would it be like that now?
meh, an mmo is about playing with people, and im not someone who buys dlc so i think ill have to pass on this until it includes all the dlc with your game purchase
Look i'm not sure how much experience every reader has with MMOs here, but all MMOs are like this. They all have content that will be released at a later date, and it's always hinted at in lore.
Look at World of Warcraft, Look at EverQuest.
They have to think ahead for these types of games to keep it fresh and keep the story going.
Paid/Free DLC/Expansion whatever you want to call it every single mmo on the market has it.
Ok the title is totally misleading and the comment is taken out of context.
AreaNet said that they have areas and lore in mind for DLC from the beginning of production, not that they cut areas to sell later as DLC.
These games have zero subscription, big deal if you pay for DLC expansions. Doesn't AreaNet deserve it?
