Guild Wars 2

One thing that has always bothered me about any MMO I have played is of course after a while it just seems everyone just gets used to the same thing. A good example is in Guild Wars people would speed run the same thing day in and day out. Was it good loot? Was it fun? Was it boring? Was it a waste of time? These questions come down to the individual.

Myself If I did a speed run or two that was enough for the day on that. Personally I liked vanquishing, missions, titles etc. Which by peoples standards at the time I was called a No Lifer. Ya know what I did all those things with friends and we had fun doing it.

The reason I am saying all this is Guildwars 2 is different. Anet has already said that it will keep changing over time. Heart of Thorns is the perfect example of this. Not only will it change by adding a new map. It also changes the way our characters will fight, do damage, make builds, work with others etc. It will and already has changed mapping for example WvW is no longer needed for map completion. WvW maps will not only change, but the places will help the player defend itself.

Anet has changed the progression system they seem to hate the Carrot on the Stick style where your character gets new gear goes up five levels but cannot seem to reach maximum level because it goes up another five levels. Using the Mastery system and the specializations your characters can become more powerful without adding a new set of gear or raising the level of your character.

Once HoT releases this will not be Guildwars 2 It will be Guildwars2 Heart of Thorns or if a number is put on it Guildwars 2.3 if in 3 more years a new expansion for the next dragon comes out could be Guildwars 2.6

If you want a game that pretty much stays the same kinda stale go to Guildwars or even WoW/clones Yes I do know that Guildwars2 has been really really stale as of late.
I think that is about to end with HoT though. The player has to be willing to experiment with things and just have fun.

Because when HoT goes live the game has changed forever and that is great with me. Hopefully I am not the only one that feels this way.
