Guild Wars 2

First, before the usual Pollyanna Brown Nosers start up, let me make a disclaimer that I have played Guild Wars for 7 years now, and Guild Wars 2 since Beta. I have loved the game with all my heart, and had great hopes for it during beta and upon release.

Sadly, my joy has all but vanished.

First it was the promise of something groovilicious in the up-til-now worthless and useless (at least to me) Black Lion Chests that drop frequently, whose keys must be bought. (sure the keys drop on occasion, (my own rate has been 2 keys to 490 chests.) Then they took the worthless items and made them into recipes for another worthless chest. Yippeeyahooie!

Then they put in recipes that require one to …grind and farm, grind and farm. Wait! Is this Farmville I am playing? Surely does feel like it. I am not a big grinding farm fan…so what else is there to do?

Oh yea, a book quest, cool, I like quests. Wait, its bugged? Oh and the item is bugged too? Oh, okee dokee. What else…FUN FUN HOLIDAY so far, (heavy emphasis on the HOLIDAY here for all you “entitlement mentality” folks.)

Oh neat, a maze! Wow, people are finally getting some fancy stuff! How fun but…uh…

I got a rock.

Oh a ….jumping puzzle. I don’t jump well because I am, alas, disabled in RL with hands that are…well…deformed and crippled. To finish areas, I have a good friend assist me with his mesmer by teleporting me. So, gee, I miss out on that too.

Well, I guess I want to put in my request now for a costume that is free that is a nifty Hawaiian Shirt (as gaudy as possible please) some khaki shorts, and a pair of flip flops and a camera.

That way I can just be a tourist in the land of Tyria and have something to do.
