I love the patch, new map and journal are amazing.

But we need more layers in this game.

What are we doing on new map? – Achievements
Why are we doing story now? – Achievements

I like achievements myself, I know other people who like them too. But I also know people who dont care about them. I would really want to play with them, but everytime they come back to GW2 they say the same thing:
- what to do?
- well we have this new xxxx there are some new achievements there..
- but I dont want to do them, anyother things I can do?
- well… ( I cant tell them : farm gold for gem store items, it would make them leave even faster)

Lets face it, Guild Wars 2 focus on two things: achievements and gem store. Only this two things get updates.

We need something more.
I would say.. new maps and dungeons, fractals every mounth? no, that is impossible isnt it? Then maybe something that must be developed once and then can be played over and over? Housing? GvG? Custom Dungeons system?

Parents know this already Arenanet. If you buy a toy car for your kid, he will play with it and then get bored fast. But If you buy blocks he will make a car .. and then a pirate ship and then a castle?

Same in mmo. Let people generare their own content. Let them build their homes, make them play some politics (wars, peace, alliances ) and they will leave you alone and peacefully wait for another update.

Achievements alone wont do. Some dont want to do them, some make them few hours after the patch.

Toy cars are nice, but we prefer bricks or crayons.

Thank you, at first then they announced Ascended armor I was a little worried, since this game was about horizontal progression. But it gave me purpose, something to work for.

I have 11 Legendaries, soon 12, 4 characters with ascended armor (the only 4 I use or I would get more). I have ran the same dungeons over 400 times each, fought the same world boss 300 times. We don’t only more stuff to work for but also new way to acquire them.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this game, but I am running out of things to do.

Um. I am doing this new zone because it’s fun and the story because it is also fun and I actually like the story.

Achievement’s are irrelevant to me and I just did them on the side when the time arises.

The point if this game is to have fun. If you try and do some single minded thing like turn it into a grind (which you are doing) you won’t have fun. Enjoy the game, get the WoW mindset out of your head.

Hes not talking about grinding, you’re going to do that no matter what, hes talking about doing the same things over and over and over which happens no matter what if you spend time in this game as there is really not much content to cover time
