Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 has some great mini-games involved in them but there is one issue with them that appears to completely defeat the purpose of each mini game. That is the achievement grind.

Obviously people want to get achievement points, especially after the addition of retroactive chests, but the fact that these “achievements” make the minigames a complete grind defeats its entire purpose.

Achievements cause people to troll others, cause people to not care about the real objective of the game, and completely defeats its purpose.

I’m “okay” with achievement points, but the ones that involve you to play more than 20 matches in a limited content minigame are ridiculous. The current Southsun Survivor involves gaining 2,500 points, in game mode in which you get around 50 points per 15 minutes.

Add loot bags for extended play, that is fine, but remove ridiculous prerequisites to get these achievements that cause the minigames to be unfun grind.

To me, things are only a grind if they’re not fun.

This is why I didn’t consider map completion a grind, nor most of these mini games. I actually enjoy them. I’m simply completing it as I’m enjoying myself while playing.

The first minigames at halloween had no achievements, and no one would even try them. Even though they were amazing. If I had a nickel for everyone who came in asking what they get from the game, and leaving when we said fun. Obviously anet want people to atleast try the things they worked on for months. I don’t even understand the people that play the game but instead of having fun, have to have everything be efficient.

Aspect game is garbage

the problem lies with the players, not the games.

the games are fantastic.

the players who complain, are not.
