Guild Wars 2

First of all, great game Anet. But it got some problems too, and our work is to find them so you can solve it!
Don’t think that this is a hater tab, because it isn’t. Is just the oposite. Making the game better is my goal with this!
Here are some simple sugestions to make this game even better.

• Party Search – First of all, we need something to find a party. Like the Party Search of gw1 but including the whole world. This have to be perfect so I can see what exactly someone is looking for. Exemple: if a player is looking for party to do the dungeon “Arah”, we will need to know if he wants Explorer or Story Mode and which path/paths, and the profession.

• Remove Waypoint Costs – In my opinion, it makes NO SENSE to pay to walk around the world in any game. If I need a party to a dungeon, I could try to find some players in Lions Arch, but since I have to pay from 4-10s to go to Lions Arch and then get back, it isn’t good.
  I do not understand whats your objective with the Traveling Costs. Probably it is to make the GW2 Economy look like a Real Economy. But that is not what players want, in my opinion. It is a game, not the real world. So we want a good economy, but don’t need a “real” one.

• Dungeons Contested – You couldn’t have made anything more frustating than this. When I log in my Guild Wars 2 and want to do a dungeon, let me do it!! Making it impossible to do something in the game like a dungeon, for an ammount of time, is a terrible idea. Sometimes I have time enough to do a dungeon, but then I see it is contested, and haven’t time for the Unconstest Events + Dungeon. Really annoying.
  Also, those long events that blocks Arah for more than a day are even worst.

• Remove Karma / Hour Limit – Well, this one is just as bad as a possible Gold Loot/Hour limit. No sense.

• Elite Areas – Every game needs a real hard place with awesome rewards. We are all waiting for it ; )

• Underworld/Fissure of Woe – I think that every GW1 player wants to see it back too. Maybe in a next campaign/expansion, but you have to make the UW/FoW back, after 250 Years!

If anyone have more Sugestions, that are important and make sense, post them ; )

Thank you!

I agree to most – but i disagree about the waypoint costs, we need to eliminate money in this game, if everything was free of charge there would be too much gold floating around

We have to pay for armor repair.. And I think that gw1 money worked well, with no travel costs. Like most MMOs..

Uhm, most of this just looks like “Make the game easier for me” tho I do agree on Elite areas and UW/FoW. But then again, those really need to be harder than the current areas. They are easy as kitty without a rail gun.

Waypoint costs for high level characters do interfere with grouping and playing with others.

Yesterday, I traveled to several waypoints costing around 2 silver per waypoint playing with friends. Then I leveled to 80 and spent my meager amount of money on a few pieces of new armor and weapons. Now I will have to strictly minimize using waypoints. I need to save up for the remainder of the armor, jewelry, runes, sigils, and future repair costs. I hit level 80 with 5 gold, bought 3 exotic armor pieces and 2 rare weapons from the trading post and was left with 11 copper. I will eventually get the money I need and be able to use waypoints again. Meanwhile, I won’t be playing much with my friends.

I’m trying to decide now if I’m going to continue crafting or not. Normally I level crafters in games and I’ve been doing that here, at a fairly slow pace. I’d probably be better off money wise if I just sold all the crafting materials. Oddly, in other games I used crafting to make money.

I realize we need money sinks in the game but I do wish they wouldn’t be ones that discourage traveling to play with others.

I wouldn’t mind if they introduced an item in the gem store that reduced/removed waypoint costs.

And I would love to see them bring back hard mode from GW1.

I’ve been away from the game for a while, but don’t gems cost real money? So why would you rather pay real money to quick travel than fake money?

I agree with this:
Remove Waypoint Costs

Fred, It is not about making the game easier, but making the game more playable. I think the game is easy already, and that is not good.
Example, a game is not harder if you have to wait for a dungeon to open. The dungeon dificulty is the same. You just waste 15 minutes. No sense.
