Guild Wars 2

I find myself playing GW2 less and less these days. In fact, I pretty much no longer play at all. My playing time started to fall off after my first Fractals run (failed Swamp run) on the launch day for Fractals. All the changes to the core foundational game design elements of GW2 since then has pretty much driven me away from the game, probably permanently.

Now, the game that I saw in the Manifesto, and the one I played in all the Beta events (except the first), and the game I played at launch, is the GW2 game that I want to be playing now. Sadly, that game no longer exists, and every fundamental part of the original design is now nowhere to be found.

I was all for this game. I bought Gems on day one to trade for gold to have a little seed money. I bought Gems to buy character slots so I could reserve all my desired character names, one for each profession. I bought Gems to expand my bank slots. I bought Gems to expand my character inventory slots. I leveled two characters to 80 and was working on my third, when it all fell apart.

I am not going to list out a litany of what is causing me not to play. That has been covered my many people in many posts. Here in these forums, and in outside venues as well. The one thing I will point out is that GW2 is, for me now, a Free To Play game. And yet, I have no desire to play it anymore.

Make of that what you will.

If you don’t care about other people’s opinions why open a thread in the first place?
I don’t mean to be offensive. I just don’t understand the logic behind it.

The original intent was to give feedback to the folks who make the game. But, the title of the thread got it deleted. So I reposted with a different title.

I don’t see the point in this post.

From the sound of it you’ve been able to sink many many hours into playing this game. You’ve surely gotten your $60’s worth out of it.

There are plenty of other quality titles that have released after GW2 and more on the way in Q1/Q2 ‘13 – if you don’t like this game anymore go play something else?

Granted it is very very rare for me to play through more than one toon – most games are just not interesting enough for multiple runs and there are simply WAY to many cool titles that I’d rather experience.

To each their own.

He wanted to air out his grievances about the game because he was disappointed by the game. In some ways, it brings him some kind of mental closure. Nothing wrong with that.

The point of this post is to give feedback on why one person has stopped playing the game, and is no longer buying Gems. Or adding participation to DEs.

I am indeed playing other games now. One that I subscribe to, and one that is a full F2P game.

Isn’t this pretty much the point with Guild Wars 2? To play and then quit and play something else and then play again when you feel for it?

The question is, does anyone care about HIS opinion.
