Guild Wars 2

So my PC went bang and i’ve had a week’s break while trying to figure out whats wrong with it (PSU problem it turns out).

Anyway, I’ve realised an amazing thing. It turns out I must have been playing out of simple habit, because I haven’t missed the game one bit. It’s just not that addictive.

I have had quite a laugh reading the forums today, but as a result of reading the forums I now cant be bothered to log into the game at all. I might go and read a book or maybe go count the grass in the garden.

And no, you can’t have my stuff. I haven’t left, I’m just….waiting.

I don’t think the game is addictive either…and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Since when did addictive become a good thing.

Slot machines are addictive, and they’re a bad thing. I’m enjoying the game, but I can take time off whenever I want, because it’s not addictive.

And I, for one, am glad it’s not.

I had top stop playing for about 7 weeks due to circumstances out of my control and since I’ve come back the game feels renewed to me. Sure it’s not addictive but that’s a good thing in my book, I prefer playing something when I feel like it.

I play this game like I played the first GW, I take a while off every now and again which for me anyway extends it’s lifespan.

For me on the other hand it is addictive xD especially after playing a kittentier MMO for so long…

This is the first MMO where im excited to just kill mobs and see what i get (modly bags i love you too)

You are going to fall way behind the gear curve.

I would put ‘not being addictive’ in the positive column but would also check to see if you really mean ‘no way to progress my character in a way I find meaningful’.

We should all be much more worried about minipet power-creep…..

It’s only addictive if you get lagspikes and can’t play =/

Wow. Next time title your whiney posts more accurately so I don’t waste time reading all the qq’s. Go read a book. Im just glad I don’t have to listen to you whine in game.

No way to progress my character in a way I feel meaningful? Yeah, that covers it.

I’ve got 4 level 80s in exotics. Not interested in a legendary, done all of the dungeons I’m interested in, think all of the special events so far have been awful, not very enamoured with Flame and Frost (whatever it turns out to be), hate fractals (just hate them) and I have 72 g and nothing I want to spend it on and nothing I want to save up for.

I just can’t put my figure on what it is exactly, but theres nothing really interesting to do. At least in WoW when you got bored with content, you could go grind a mount or fly about looking for Time-lost Drake etc etc. I did get bored of that too of course, but that took 5 years, not 5 months.

Maybe I’m just tired of MMO’s in general…

Go back to playing the game you adore and leave the forums for the whiners….

I hope you are being sarcastic.
