I think this all boils down to the fact that both the collector community and new/returning players are equally important to preserving the game.
I have made friends with some well known collectors in the community and players who are more focused on playing the game rather than the market since coming back late last year. They all bring something to the game that makes it special. Want to chat about how this prenerf item was part of guild wars history? We got that. Want to discuss some interesting builds for fun efficient farms/vanquish? We got that too. Nostalgia is wonderful but creating new memories now so we have something to look back on when we all eventually move on from the game is just as important.
I hope moving forward the devs take into consideration the concerns from all sides.
