GW2 seriously free to play with no monthly?

or are they gonna charge us DLC dungeons and gear like dicks

They do have to make money somewhere you know. That's how companies stay in business. There's nothing "dick" about that.

it's misleading and wrong to ask us to pay more if the game has been advertised as "Free to play"

Guild Wars doesn't have micro transactions like other F2P games. The only thing they charge for is the game and future expansions.

Only one I'm thinking of looking into right now is The Old Republic since I'm most familiar with the universe and the developer behind it.

I'm not trying Guild Wars 2, but that is actually because the community from GW1 was just garbage, I played that game for a while and I found most people just sitting back and letting others do all the work, I had new players accusing me of stealing there gear because I wouldn't give them any free stuff.  Hell I even worked my butt off to buy a guild hall for our guild and then the guild leader decides to join another guild and take all the members with him leaving me holding the bag and not even giving me an invite despite the fact I did most of the work to get the guild to where it was.  Just felt like everyone was just out for themselves and had no problem using other people to get a step up.

GW1 community was pretty bad. No one wanted to sit around and help build up a guild or do the work to pick up skills on their own. You really have to hold peoples hands and the second you stop they'll abandon you and the guild.

Ewwww, that's a shame to see.  At first glance it looked like cosmetic junk, which I don't care about, but at the bottom are skill unlocks and item unlocks for purchase.  I despise that.

Interested in SW:TOR.

Still haven't found anything that trumps Blizzard's polish.

I don't like it much either but to be fair, the skill unlock pack is for pvp players that want to access skills from a specific chapter without having to buy said chapter (because they don't care about the pve). All of the skills can be easily acquired through normal play.

Item unlock is a joke, unless you're a new pvp player that wants access to all the mods right away without having to unlock them through playing. Max items are really common in PVE, and in PVP, it's just a matter of unlocking the parts you want once (either through finding them in PVE or using Balthazar faction, which are points you earn by playing PVP) and then using them to create max gear for your pvp characters as often as you desire.

All microtransactions in GW are either purely cosmetic, or are stuff that you can easily acquire in the game anyway. I guess the bonus mission pack is an exception, being additionnal content, but it doesn't really give any advantage.
