I say this not to start a game vs. game discussion or anything of the like, but one of the most lauded components of GW2 is their Dynamic Events. For me, I saw Instant Adventures as basically being a huge chain of "on demand" Dynamic Events. Similarly, Rift Events seem to operate exactly the same in that they happen at random, draw in a group of players, and make the world feel more alive.
Anyways, confusion aside, I do have an opinion question to ask. I plan on subbing up for Rift tonight, but am debating on whether to just get the standard $9.99 game or the $19.99 deluxe version that has a bunch of goodies. As current/former players, what are your thoughts? I don't mind spending the money, but I do mind if the equipment can be obtained elsewhere in game.
(Also, HK-51 has already claimed my refer-a-friend sub. =) )
