Guild Wars 2

I had really given up as a casual player but I have to say that recent efforts by the team have encouraged me. I want to thank the GW2 team for renewing hope in the game for me and players of all play styles. Thank you, its not perfect but I can see that your working on it.

Casual Player = someone who enjoys a game for the gameplay.
Hardcore Player = someone who feels compelled to obtain the best items, complete the achievements, climb the leaderboards, etc.

One can be a hardcore player despite only playing an hour or less a day just as one can be a casual player while playing a great many hours each and every day.

I’ll add my thanks to the dev team as well. I may not always agree with everything they do, but I can see the effort and appreciate it.

Despite my feelings on where the game is headed, I do appreciate all the work the dev team has done. And tbh, my feelings on the direction of the game don’t fall on the dev team… seems highly unlikely a team that cared so much about their game and was so gung ho on a particular design style would throw it out the window for something tired, archaic and generally unpopular just because it seemed like a good idea. Seems far more likely that they were forced to harm their own game by implementing stuff they specifically said they never would!

So not only do I appreciate the work you’ve put in, but also the misery you’ve probably had to endure. Hang in there GW2 dev team!
