Guild Wars 2

Online Massive Farming Game.

Discuss.

Change “farming” to “grinding” and I agree. It’s too bad we can’t play the game we paid $60 for since it was swapped out with Grind Wars 2 on the 15th Nov.

There was a grind before Nov. 15, theres a grind after Nov 15.

You grind out dungeon sets, 20+ runs for one full set.
You grind out Kharma for God sets
You grind out mats and pre-reqs for Legendary.

Whats different, aside from the slight gear, sorry item upgrade, treadmill installment?

Ascended items take an order of magnitude more grinding than a piece of exotic gear.

Also, they nerfed the rare drop rate into essentially being non-existent (in PvE zones).

Both of those contribute to the game now being able simply grinding like a mindless brain damaged chimpanzee.

Not for me. I won’t grind ridiculous hours to get something that looks different. If it doesn’t provide me with an advantage in playing the game, I’m not chasing it.

There’s a ton of fun on GW2. Helping others in PVE, playing WvW, PVP.

Yes, people farm …a.k.a…grind…for days and hours. That’s ok. If it makes them happy and they want flaming gauntlets to show off. Nothing wrong with a little things like that to enhance the look of your toon.

but have fun. If farming is fun for you. Enjoy. but there’s a million other things to do in game besides farm.
