@TLEsquireYes, I've sadly thought it was the plan all along as well, but I'm shocked this is going ahead while so many of us are having issues. Having a son who for a long while had been into games like Fortnite, where you constantly have to invest SERIOUSLY put me off those kind of games. One of the things I LOVED about GW was you could earn everything through play. People being able to buy bundles for currency, characters etc. was fine with me as long as it was people's choice, not a necessity. I didn't buy the deluxe upgrade. I would happily financially support a game I loved by paying for upgrades for additional maps or game modes but customisations??? And while I like the game, the problems are frustrating & at the moment I'm not 100% convinced I love it. @Iron_Guard8 Need the BFN morale booster!
