Guild Wars 2

yes, I’m addicted. I havn’t even played GW2 for a few month, but I just can’t stop coming back to the forum to express my feeling for the game.

I would say, personally no, I’m not addicted. I’m not addicted because the game doesn’t interfere with other parts of my life. I can stop playing, enjoy something else, work, get groceries, whatever. I don’t really feel any ‘need’ to play the game either, but I do enjoy adding skins to my collection, trying to reach really hard goals (like making all the exotic skins from the mystic forge). I have been playing since September the year it came out, and still legitimately enjoy the game now.

I am not an addict, and I have 3 level 80’s what does that say?

Playing the devils advocate here I’d have to say it says we’re probably looking at a case of denial.

Hello, I am Rouven, I have 8x 80’s and I am not an addict.

Here’s the thing. I have not Logged In to play Gw2 In a few weeks. I do not feel any * twitching*. I Log in when i feel like Playing, and I don’t when I don’t.

You can call it denial. and I see the humor " I deny that I am in denial." But the fact is, that what I am addicted to is…’"ENJOYMENT"

I did Not level those 80’s because I was addicted to gw2. I happened to level them because I was addicted to the fun I had while playing gw2.

The difference is a vital one. See I am not enjoying gw2 as much as I used to, so I do not play it. As I said. Not addicted to gw2, … addicted to fun. Since gw2 is not as much fun as it used to be, I don’t wake up in the morning running to play gw2 as I did when I leveled up those 3 level 80’s.

So once again. No…not addicted to Gw2.

Nah, I don’t find this game addictive at all. I’ll go through spurts of playing it quite a bit, but after a week or so of it being the only thing I’m playing I’ll branch out again or maybe take a break altogether.

I stopped being addicted to MMO’s after WoW’s 3rd expansion. I just couldn’t do it anymore, and nothing in these games seems so utterly original that I feel compelled to sacrifice my entire life to it any longer.

The reason I think I always come back to GW2 is that they seem alright with me not being addicted, whereas games like Wildstar and FFXIV seem to bank on roping people in for a long period of dedicated poopsocking.

My life is in a little bit of a different place now than it was back during Wrath of the Lich King/Burning Crusade as well. I was in a relationship with someone who I didn’t get to see very much, whereas now I’m engaged to someone who really isn’t all that into MMO games.
