There is noone in GW1 actually (OK, there is, but the numbers are pretty low…). I would like to give it some last love (Not yet, but if it is finally near to death):

PvE:

  • Story: It is OK like it is, should be good enough to let players enjoy.
  • Skills: It is horrible to pay for all of them, reduce the price a lot like to 50g and 100g for the elite capture one. The players only want a short enjoyment, so give them a shortcut to their builds.
  • Henchies: perfect equipment to make them stand up better against heros.
  • Heros: perfect equipment and lvl 20 to start and a worthy first build with elite. Even to GW1 best times, many had problems with the expensive costs of them.
  • Build-forms: There are three really annoying things: You need a profession (mostly healer), but arent there as one and cant find one; You wanna play with a different profession (may rather my personal problem), but dont have it (there yet); You dont now about easy good (or rather mainstream) builds or only dont have the skills yet. Why not giving something like a tonic, that not only changes form, but also equipment and build. SoS, MM or UA are well known builds and pretty often used and these tonics would be a big help for beginners (costs around 1k?)
  • Included Upgrades: Upgrades are sometimes more expensive than a normal armor and especially weaponupgrades are hard to get without gold and other players. why not adding upgrades to the armor from the start? Furthermore a merchant, who sells perfect upgraded weapons in the same area would help a lot.
  • Endless consumeables: A few like the fire imp, cause there are already far to many in GW1, but theses days you rarly will find groups for “conset”-teams.
  • New weekendspecials (only PvE): Instead of reducing them to weekends, make them all week and duoble their effect on the weekend. Furthermore add something like a PvE-Flux.
  • Motivation: Add the last part of GW beyond and give a special reward in gw2 for completing all parts of gw2 beyond. Furthermore do this during a long period without anything new in GW2 (while preparing an Add-On or so) and may add GW1 as buyable in GW2-ingame-store for these without a linked gw2-account.

New Party Zone
This is actually nothing special than a wonderland where you can play all festive minigames and all over the year. There will be no new content, but you will get great rewards good for titlehunting

PvP
Completly split PvP and PvE (at least skills, but maybe even like in GW2) and make something like a contract with a university with computerstudents. PvP has many problems, certains areas were already down before GW2, certaind areas are dead after gw2 and there was already a incredible balancing problem, even, if these students fail, you have not much to loose, on the oppersite, if these students could manage to finally balance the PvP of GW1 for you, it has good chances to be even a better PvP-Game than GW2. May you could let GW1 let life on as a good old PvP-classic.

If you want to offer suggestions to the GW1 developers, you should do so on the Guild Wars Wiki.

@TheDaiBish.9735: No i dont, i only know, that GW1 is a great game but not for playing it alone.

@Illconceived Was Na.9781: 1. There seems to be a bug, which hides the Suggestion box, so i thought suggestings cant be created there anymore. 2. There is no way to revive GW1 through itself anymore, so even if this is rather a GW1-suggestion, it still needs a connection to GW2.

Fair enough.

They’re not going to use resources on a game that isn’t going to net them any money, since their funding is entirely dependent on how much money the make NCSoft.

As it is, I’m pretty sure GW is only in maintenance mode, meaning there won’t be any content added to it.

However, I agree that GW is a great game, and there are many aspects I wished they brought over to GW2.

They ran a parallel Wintertide event in GW1 over Christmas so it seems that the devs haven’t completely abandoned the game just yet. Sadly, there were very few people playing when I logged in at the time.

Ahh, apologies, I meant no new content (since all they have to do for holiday events is insert the event and let it run).

To be honest, I think a pretty cool idea would be to have GW as a development platform for apprentices to work on to get a feel of game design, balancing, QA ect. As in they could add in:

  • New quests
  • Small, bitesized expansions (kind of like the bonus mission packs)
  • A new profession every now and then (coughChronomancercough)

That sort of thing.
