Guild Wars 2

I’m posting this to give Anet some insight in hopes they can learn from my experiences.

I’ve started to play less and less GW2 for the following reasons.

1) Removal of all efficient “farming”
2) The inclusion of Ascended items
3) The waypoint system and how, because of its cost it isolates the players
4) The dismal drops
5) The massive inflation on the TC

Now not one single factor I’ve listed has stopped me from enjoying the game but rather the cumulative effects of these which overlap.

Farming wouldn’t be a big issue except Ascended items are unjustly expensive.
Ascended items wouldn’t be a big issue except for the dismal drops and TC inflation

The waypoint system wouldn’t be a big issue if the efficient farming still existed.

Every choice that has been made has unintended consequences and while I don’t expect everything to go smoothly some of this was just common sense, you didn’t need a oracle to know that the removal of farming spots like Plinx would effect the TC which in turn would make Ascended gear a massive grind, etc.

Please Anet, if you read this go through all the changes you’ve made and create a pictograph with 2 overlapping circles and use this method to figure out which changes are overlapping in roles and creating this cumulative effect that is rendering GW2 as a sub-par MMORPG because at first you guys had it right…what happened?
