Guild Wars 2 Expansion Pricing Backlash

This thread on the Guild Wars 2 forums is filled with complaints from players over the recently revealed pricing for the upcoming Heart of Thorns expansion for Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet's MMORPG sequel. The issue at the heart of this is the inclusion of the base game with the expansion, which makes current players feel they are paying for it a second time. ArenaNet has explained they are viewing this as a free copy of the game for new players, rather than a bundle, but this has not smoothed things over. The most recent posts from the company offer reassurances this feedback is being taken seriously. Thanks Eurogamer where they note a report which explains another controversial element of this, as it states that the game's FAQ was silently changed, but that prior to being edited said separate ownership of the base game would be required to play the expansion.
