	"Players who already own the adventure pack will not be required to re-purchase it; you�ll automatically receive the content pack upgrades on patch day." I already own 3BC so not worries. Just means, if you don't own it, go farm the TP now.

	3BC... I have that one... I think that one day I was crazy or generous and had too many TPs so I bought it. Wasn't that bad on heroic - good and quick quests with semidecent XP.

	Give 3BC two weaks� and it will be farmed out . There is some ok loot on Lam . But no new players . The Purple haired wench wanted this for her new pet ,but was booted from the Corperate room. Still stinks of Stank. Have fun with this one more bs and trying to sell shit to Noobies. Just more the same for all of you that are playing this game .

	Sadly If it was 30 bucks more I would pay.... Dear Diary, I am starting to think that I am in a unhealthy and abusive relationship with my MMO......

	They didn't with GH, snd 3BC was very overpriced compared with, say, the Vale. Just noting an ongoing trend with less content for TP really.

Are you that fucking poor? It's not about being poor or not. GH has, how many quests? 9 + Tor + 1 new RAID and didn't get a rise in price. E3BC has 4 epic quests and 1 new QUEST and got a raise.

	Maybe they were always thinking that 3bc would be too cheap and that's why said if we make it epic we can justify increasing the price. Who knows, maybe that was the main reason 3bc was going to be the next pack that got made epic. ^^ I am still disappointed that they gave the heroic wilderness such nice items some updates ago and they didn't make epic versions of them... Then they could have doubled the price just because of the nice items.

Are you that fucking poor? You're missing the point. It's not about being poor, believe me, I'm not. It's noting that what is being delivered is becoming less and less good value for money. 650 points for a dungeon that takes an hour and a half even if going slowly and showing a running partner all the nooks and crevices. 550 points for two raids and an explorer area, and raids already becoming obsolete because of all the duping that went on on first release, so basically for me it's an explorer area. 3BC was expensive already unless you picked it up on the 75% off sale (I bought it in 2010 for full price because I was being a noob). The cost of the second expansion. I contrast that with the value for money of Vale and Gianthold and don't think it's holding up that well, really. Content is the only thing I pay for these days but this trend makes it less and less likely I'll buy the TPs to do that, because I'm not sure I want to reward a game for pushing its prices up for less and less content, particularly as quests seem to be more and more linear in design.

	The fact that this game still exists is surprising.

	ROFL I bought it ages ago at 50% off on TP that I bought on a triple TP sale so I got it for practically nothing. Basically what it's worth to be honest.

	where's the cheese dip?

	I seem to recall picking it up in one of the Christmas sales for next to nothing, also with cheap points. If you don't like the price, be patient and wait a while. New content is one of the things people should support.

What I would really really love but they will never ever implement is level scaling (or you scaling) so you could run your favourite content whenever you want. I love that aspect of GW2, although I appreciate it would be far harder in an instance driven MMO, particularly one with an 8 year old (at least) game engine.

They didn't raise the price on Gianthold in the run up to the epic release. However, they did an across-the-board increase in all packs earlier.
