Guild Wars 2

I hope to see end game pve content in the future. I don’t expect to see it tomorrow. But in the nearish future would be nice.

If you were less busy trying to put me in my emotional place, you would know that ANet has already clearly stated that they would focus on that content in future expansions. As I have said before, and so has a poster above me.

I got 800 hours in, hit a wall, but then started playing again.
GW2 isn’t meant as a game you feel the need to play, it’s a game you play when you want.
I love that I can play other games too without feeling imprisoned in GW2, or that if I don’t play GW2 then I’m wasting money or I’m being left behind.

read the op, why do you think his 30 guild mates quit and went back to other games? why have so many others reported guilds losing majority of members back to other games?

They’re the same folks who do this in every new game. What they need to do is stop doing this, and instead tell WoW that they want their graphics upgraded. That way, us fans of games that are not WoW will stop seeing our devs getting jerked around by fairweather folks who say they want something different but really don’t.

I was actually thinking rift, most I know went back to that.

From what I can see the biggest complaint right now is a lack of end game for PvErs. That is not a little thing, something you can just shrug off and find something else to do. Not if your main interest is PvE. So what other choice do people have other than go and find some other game?

Because expansions never happen? You guys want years’ worth of content in a new release and then freak out when it’s not there. Would you like to pay ANet millions more so they can produce that content, since you magically expect it to manifest from some lost dimension of time and money?

You guys knew what you were getting when you bought the game: an initial release focusing more heavily on the 1-80 experience, with 80+ content coming through free and paid expansions. Everybody said this. Reviewers said it. Beta testers said it. Forums said it. But now it’s like you’re willfully forgetting and refusing to wait, as you were told would happen.

I’m sorry you guys decided to burn through part of the content and then refuse to do any more, but that’s on you guys, and that is not ANet’s fault.

Edit: and before you call me a casual, I’ve put in 1600 hours or so into this game, with 1500 on one character, and I still have plenty of things left to do.

just because there are things to do doesn’t mean people enjoy doing them.

I am a guild wars 1 vet. I like this game.

My only worry is that ANet will stop keeping us in mind, because we are quieter than the loud ‘we want trinity, we want raids!’ etc etc minority.

Nah I don’t think so, don’t worry, they never listened to haters so far and never will.
I’ve seen RB stating they know the large majority of the game are not rushers or traditional MMO mechanics addicts – infact you don’t see them talking about adding raids or trinities of any sort.
They know that listening to haters would mean losing trust of the other 95%.

The real issue with GW2 is that, since it’s free of monthly fee, people who quit can keep their forum account and troll the boards freely.
I would say that negativity in general should be punished – a mature person can write ten pages of criticism without a shadow of negativity, if one hates then he’s not mature so keeping him here is counterproductive.

I really hope so. <3

I don’t disagree that GW2 might well be around for many years to come. I won’t be playing it that much though. I’m just… meh. There’s a thing as too non-linear and I find that GW2 suffers from it.

/shrug At least I’m not paying a sub right.
