the scammy thing is that they told the players that you need the basegame for playing it and made nice deals so everyone who wanted to start in HoTs would buy it. Then after they sold many digital copies they changed the live FAQ so it tells now that you do not need the base game anymore. A view people looked in the histories and found the old entries and posted them here. THEN anet changed the history so it was fixed there too and nobody should know that it ever said anything else. But the problem for anet is that you can found the old entries in the web archieves! http://web.archive.org/web/20150401200009/https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/105801626-Guild-Wars-2-Heart-of-Thorns-FAQ they are cought, but they have no HONOR, they still do not CONFESS, instead they delete every post and try to hide it, but they can't change the web archives. i will post this again and again until they confess. and here the old post with the history entry which they changed afterwards too! take your time and look over it and you will see how they SCAM their own fanbase only for GREED and then try to hide it... lucky they are to supid to hide it :D here a reference to a description for the "they tricked peeople into buying the base game" http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3a50yi/anet_edits_hot_faq_removes_the_mention_of_needing/ EDIT: i'm not sure who exactly is voting this post down and why? it shows exactly how anet SCAMMED people in paying 10 dollar or more for lying to them in the FAQ and then updating the FAQ and going on like nothing happens. You can continue voting this down if you want, because for every post which is going down to -5 karma i will create 2 new accounts and post it a few times which each one. I jsut want people to know the truth. It's 100% neutral, it's just the truth. Lucky that there is a webarchive, otherwise they would say it never happened. Downvoting or deleting is not helping here. It just slows down the inevitable. Or in this case it will speed things up because i will post it multiple times. :-)
