This whole "I bought the game and therefore i am entitled to have all characters unlocked" doesn't make any sense. The Legendaries are not a necessity. They are not required to achieve anything or add anything. They don't make you a good player. They are just a bonus. Just think about it as something that will be unlocked over time.
The pricing is also something that is reasonable. We just have to look at other games and how they release additional maps, characters, clothing, weapons; with the price tag attached. 60 or even 70 i spent on GW2 are maybe too much if you only want to spent 10 hours with it. But for the amount of playtime so many have, it's completely worth it. The only problem i see there is the shady Preorder Bonus that can also be received by buying the Deluxe Edition. But again, every publisher does that.
The whole package that is GW2 offers enough to deserve a recommendation. The only major issues it had was the first broken Content Update that managed to crash the game across all platforms after installation and forced many players, myself included, to wait for a fix. Accompanied by a bug that forced so many players to play the intro over and over. Which just shows that Popcaps major issue is QA. And the huge balance issues inside the game just demonstrate that once more.
In the end it isn't the cosmetics, Legendaries or the crashes that made me stop playing, but the sheer lack of balance. Running statistics and throwing in your own opinions as developer isn't enough when you have a competitive multiplayer game were humans show their lowest traits to succeed in a low risk high reward fashion.
Not to forget that teamplay isn't rewarded enough, despite being a team based game. And all of that could have been avoided if the developers would have tested it properly.
And that is what worries me. As the GW franchise seems to become more and more casual friendly. With lots of colorful chaos, disregarding strategy altogether. Easy to access but no way to master it.

What you and other people don't see to understand is that you can literally not unlock any legendary item if you're not lucky enough. Plus they are going to add more and more drops with each big update. Nothing about being entitled but don't lack characters behind rng. Nobody has ever liked it and the fact you people keep acting as if it's ok is just nasty. Grow a pair.
