Players have had a long wait for a content update for Guild Wars 2, but the wait is finally over. This long wait is just one of several reasons players feel unsure about the games future. While season 2 of the Living World has made serious improvements, it’s also plagued with it’s own faults. Still, it has helped to keep your hopes up, at least a little bit.
