Because having the title as 'the sequel to the best new shooter this generation' is a mouthful and slightly pretentious...maybe.

Furthermore, a small sample of characters from GW1 will be available for players to transfer over in the beta.
How do I unlock characters, costumes, weapons etc?
The above stuff are purchases by opening sticker packs with either in game coins or the purchase of sticker by real moneyz. In reality, you do not ever need to purchase it with real money as the payoff rate per game is both constant and fair.
Like GW1 customization items and supplies can be found in sticker packs, however, upgrades are now ties directly to the xp bar of your specific character, and each character has 10 different upgrades available.
Now please enjoy the beta, and use the following (well crafted) hashtags on the social media of your choice to tell your friends and family of your satisfaction with the game.
