Every MMORPG out there tries to make me login on a constant basis. Usually they do so through some form of recurring event that rewards you with a kind of currency you can turn in for things you want in the game.

GW2 does this with regular streams of content….as well as the more traditional means.

While I appreciate the constant updates with new things to do, as someone who likes to take long breaks and come back when he feels like it, all this stuff you release that you then take away is making me not want to login at all. I feel further and further apart from the rest of the community and from the game each time I miss something, and I don’t want to play out of a sense of obligation. Why can’t I enjoy your awesome content when I feel like it?

Please, consider keeping the things you implement in this game on a more permanent measure. You should still get a decent influx of active players with each new update anyway.

As Colin mentions in this post and this post, based upon community feedback, we are adjusting our strategy to include a larger mix of permanent updates in the future.
