The interesting thing is despite not liking Velious, these complaining players will still buy/pre-order it.
This invalidates alot of what they say. Either they actually like it enough to purchase it, thus lied. Or are buying something they don't like, which means they have a lack of sense which makes me question their argument there.
Sorry, the arguments:
"I have friends that play.""I've spent so much time with my character."
Don't have the weight they did a few months ago when I brought this up. You can still play with friends by not getting Velious. You can still play your character without getting Velious.
In fact I plan on doing both. I'm considering waiting till the second Velious expansion comes out and get it instead. That way I can feel as if I'm getting my money's worth (by getting both for one). DoV just doesn't seem like its worth 30 bucks. I'm sure its a wonderful expansion, though I can save some dough by waiting.
I play with my friends, I'm the guild leader of a small guild and my toon has been around since launch.
I enjoyed a bit of what I did in beta, my problem was I kept running into broken quest-lines (which I of course reported) over and over and only a few of them were fixed when the beta ended. So I was frustrated about not being to test the part of the content I enjoy the most, questing. But quests always get fixed eventually so I'm not too worried.
So yes I am going to buy the expansion. No I'm not happy with DoV in its current state and I still think SJ is a snake-oil salesman that needs to go.
I did see one thing I really did like in beta, and that was the love Dominio has for the game. For her sake I actually plan on leveling a crafter past my current record of less than level 50 ( 
) just to enjoy the content she and her team have added.
