Thanks for the suggestion but, if I may (without any intention to start a flame war), I'd advise gw2 players to be careful because ArenaNet has allegedly installed spyware on their client, they claimed it was only to catch cheaters red-handed, but would you trust some outsiders coming looking into your house, in this case your computer, to see what programs you are running without telling you? This is what happened according to some analysts and NCsoft was forced to confirm such findings (below some links, but you can check their forums for details). This is a worryingly sign by itself, I wonder what else they are not saying.

In fact, I don't know if such measures allowed them to also scan your disk or acquire other sensitive data, but personally I'd rather be safe than sorry (disclaimer: I haven't played gw2 in years, I don't use cheats in my gaming and I'm actually happy they caught the bad players, fair play is paramount, but on the other hand I'm worried about the privacy issue so I'm glad I wasn't spyed on).

Hope this helps.

Path of Fire expansion was FIRE!!! Not so sure about the End of Dragons, I hope they have a bigger focus on endgame content, no new raids these last 2 years
