Guild Wars 2

TheJokester.4672:

please back off your statement shows you don’t understand yea you can go kill it with each character big whoops in gw1 you could go kill any boss you wanted with all of your character oh and guess what PERMANENT not 4 weeks. oh and the hybrid if it was a meta achievement you only got that once gw1 you got it each and every single time not just the first time and the rest was just boss chest drop for killing it. thank you

So your response is basically: shut up, GW1 did it a different way. (don’t tell anyone, but how GW1 did things means absolutely nothing to me, I didn’t play GW1. Compared to every MMO I’ve ever played, this game is as alt-friendly as it gets). Sounds like GW1 would score an A+ in alt-friendliness, and GW2 would score an A, yet talking to you guys it sounds like would give GW2 an F in alt-friendliness because it isn’t exactly how GW1 was.

Apparently to many people if they can’t get 8x (or however many alts you have) the rewards then the game isn’t alt friendly. The ease that alts can participate and contribute in all content is what makes it alt-friendly. Not whether or not all of your characters can get the meta.

For example, in DCUO, each character has completely separate everything. Money is separate, achievements are separate, everything is specific to each character. That is an alt-unfriendly game. Being able to farm karma on one character and then log into my level 10 character and spend all that karma = alt-friendly. Or laurels, or money, or tokens, you take your pick, it’s all alt-friendly. Labeling the game not alt-friendly because the meta only rewards your account and not each character is so effing stupid. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I find GW2 to be very alt-friendly. The account wide wallet, insta-level 20 scrolls and upcoming sPvP level scrolls are all very nice for people with alts.

Ascended weapons are the one area where things get less alt-friendly and I guess I will just have to be limited on which of my characters will get Ascended weapons (much less armor). I’ll admit that is something that I find annoying but it’s not that gamebreaking for me. I suppose I’ll just have to pick a character to trick out and focus more on them.
