Glory.1493:

OP is a troll..his ID is xxxx.9562.if he played gw2 for more than 2 years there is no way that 4 digits start with 9….more like less than 3 months

That’s actually very interesting.
I never knew that the digits had any meaning at all…

So my Digits are 3265
I played sine beta so like… does this mean I’m the 3265th person who played GW2 since release? Im interested to know. =) Thanks for info!

Same since bwe2

cya in a couple months when you realize nothing else comes close to beating gw2, eso,wildstar,wow? take your pick

Actually moving FFXIV

I hope you like cat people (aka Miqo’te) and boring old humans (aka Hyur). (See the screenshot from FF14 census below).

When I say “cat people”, I’m talking about humans with cat ears and extreme flexibility They’re not the cute, cuddly Charr who will rip apart a dragon minion at a moment’s notice. You may as well join the human RPers on Tarnished Coast server if want to play a human character.

My advice to you: Keep your stuff, and dont’ give anything away. It’s a GW2 wanna be with WoW mechanics. GW1’s storyline and WoW’s story surpass FF14’s tale with ease.

I tried FF14 last September. People are friendly, but it’s easy to get locked out of the populated NA servers. I tried out the various servers (Brunhildr, Exodus, Gilgamesh Balmung [LEGACY], etc). I manage to get on the populated servers by logging in during the odd hours in the Seattle area. When I tried out the game, alot of the NA servers were closed to new players. Worse, there is no megaserver system. If you don’t get onto a populated server, you’re out of luck esp. later when you have to find a guild for the raids. There is no way to get onto populated maps by friending others or joining a guild. It was extremely hard to get onto a populated server. There are no Network guilds that people can join, so they enter shards with like-minded folks.

(All you Anti-Megaserver folks can gripe all you want, but Megaserver is the biggest innovation to MMORPGs. It makes it easier to find people who better fit your gameplay style and guild.

Hardcores can find other Hardcores.
Casuals can find other Casuals.
RPers can discover new RPers.
And so on.)

Like ArcheAge, the game’s player housing is a gimmick and a joke. It’s too expensive for the housing. Unlike the home instances in this game, you don’t get player housing at the beginning of the game. FF14 players are paying $12 an hour for housing that is too expensive for the individual. Worse, you have to be part of a Free Company (aka guild) and chip in with others to get a house. This introduces a problem similar to what WoW has: People recruit guildies to get guild perks, and then they g-kick the guildies when they get the high level perks.

Unlike GW2, there is no dodging to avoid an enemy’s attack, and it takes time for skills to activate. Players have to stand in place while fighting esp. if you’re a mage. If you’re soloing a fast enemy, your character is forced to take damage while casting one dinky spell. Not even WoW’s mages were THAT bad.

Then there are the FF14 Raids. If one player on a team makes a mistake, the whole team fails. It’s too easy for a griefer or troll to mess up a team. Unlike Tequatl, there is no way to recover if a griefer interferes with the fight.

In FF14’s event system (aka FATE), only the person who does the most damage to the enemy gets the gold and loot. If you come in late during an event, you get next to nothing.

Then there is the monster camping. Yes,you have to camp for monsters like WoW. ((cringe))

During Sept, there were a couple of festivals, but those events were devoid of players when I got to the festival area.

In the end, Final Fantasy 14 is not worth $12 a month.

GW2 has its flaws which have been mentioned zillions of times on this forum. I get that. This game is the best non-subscription game on the market. At least you’re not wasting $12 a month on this game!

I was going to wish the OP farewell… truly I was. Then I saw his later post and it screamed too much of the “attention seeking” behavior that Mark has commented on.

…… Meh.

Worth a shot, did played WoW for 2 years during Vanilla and BC.

So two years is about the limit then?

Except that FFXIV has major content updates every 3 months and surpassed GW2’s year long life cycle in content, very shortly after launch.It has an expansion in the works and released a new Class/job recently.
You can argue that XIV has no dodge feature but thats because its made up with encounters actually having fight mechanics.

What I will agree with is that the maps are kind of empty but its not due to low player count. Most have already maxed out all their classes. Right now the open world plays little roles outside advancing story quests via updates because the endgame is all instanced.Open world is more of just a lobby for lvl 50 players. Zergs were just as boring in XIV as it is in GW2. And thats Gw2’s way to keep the open world populated.

And the Fate rewards are determined the same way GW2’s is. Except that healing also contributes. FFXIV has no build variety or much rotation variety, but you cant cheapskate any fights or dungeons because of it either. Considering GW2’s amazing combat keeps being dwindled down to “stack here” methods or just zergs by the community.However since the crawl that is gw2’s content update its also understandable.The combat in both games are well done in their own right.

http://youtu.be/4rsWL6Z_NJE?t=4m5s

And yes the endgame might be punishing for mistakes but thats not a new concept for MMO’s. The link shows a Titan extreme run, a challenging but fun encounter when he was released (some people still cant beat him). Its what team work would like in Gw2 if it ever was ever needed outside zergs(zerg is hardly teamwork too).

Created my first character

Why should anyone care? And why are you even posting that here?

To be fair why do you care he has posted it.. its not like its in any way shape or form affecting your own experience.. every game whether MMO or Single Player has its joiners and leavers, but one thing remains constant.. every person has an opinion and like to voice it in their own way.. the OP has put his over, he hasn’t resorted to profanity and he hasn’t gone for the “oh I am so full of sadness” approach either, he just put it out there.
So he created a new character in a new game to show us all he has jumped ship.. big deal, have fun in your new land of coloured pixels… there was that so hard to do Vayne?

I can’t see this thread lasting long.

yup, just showing I already left GW2

To each their own is what I always say but why keep posting when you’ve posted that you’ve left? Why isn’t the OP in the FF forums saying hello to everyone etc. I never understood why people post they are leaving in forums. I can understand if you tell your friends your leaving but to post in a forum imo is just looking for attention or a bad way to make friends (yeah I’m leaving too or yeah i hate this too lets be friends!)

P.S Can I have your stuff?

Goodluck and congrats with FF, its truly an awesome game. I bought it at launch but came back to GW2 because the game felt dated compared to a lot of features GW2 has, but I did enjoy the game. However SquareEnix adding new classes and announcing an expansion pack really has my brother and a couple of his friends looking at going back at it and for real. I wouldnt think twice about leaving GW2 if we had content, but 2 years of my ele using d/d and staff… I mean, I just want new things… and its not even close to happening apparently so yea, im on Ultros also, maybe we’ll see you there

SundayTrash.9562:

Probably gonna give them away to friends.

Ok, that is an impressive amount of stuff; I take my hat off to you sir. Too bad you’re leaving though, I prefer vets sticking around.

First of all, anyone can create a character in another game and still be playing this game, particularly because there’s no subscription fee.

Secondly, again who cares? Is your leaving this game somehow constructive? Is your making a character in another game somehow constructive?

It matters because the forum moderators only want discussions of Guild Wars 2. Posting pictures of their characters in other games is breaking the forum rules. The OP is likely to get either an infraction for his post or have the thread closed.

6000 hours.

My advice would be not to give away your stuff for at least a few months. You never know if you’ll like what you migrate to more then GW2. Besides, maybe hell freezes over and GW2 pops out an expansion that you’d like to try.

Bottom line, have fun in FF and disregard the trolls, the game is very much alive (then again who cares either way if you’re having fun there).

Glory.1493:

That has nothing to do with how long he has been playing…

I’m 9360 and i have been playing since headstart.

A game is a game so if you like it, play it. If you don’t, then don’t. With 6,000 hours of game time, it seems you REALLY like(d) it. I’m sure you’ll be back to playing eventually.

Freeelancer.2860:

disregard the trolls

If anyone is trolling here, it’s the OP. He came here to announce he’s leaving GW2 (like boohoo?) and then later posts a screenshot of the new game he is playing like he was shoving it in our faces. I see no point there at all.

Anyways good luck dude and hope you have a blast on that new game.

GW2 has its flaws which have been mentioned zillions of times on this forum. I get that. This game is the best non-subscription game on the market. At least you’re not wasting $12 a month on this game!

Have you seen the patch notes for 2.4?
That’s more new content in 1 patch than Guildwars has ever had + everything from next year if they keep going down the same road. I would be so happy if I had to pay GW2 a couple of bucks a month and they would pump out this kind of patches with this kind of content.
But that’s all a matter of opinion I guess.

Oh and btw, housing is not only for guilds anymore, they introduced personal housing in the latest patch, which added tons of other stuff too.

All the content in the world doesn’t matter if you don’t like the content. WoW has entire expansions that for all I want to play them might as well not exist. I can’t talk about FF, specifically, but from what I know, it’s more or less a traditional MMO. I’m here, as a lot of people are, because they don’t like traditional MMOs.

I’d rather play this for 100 years with no new content than a new WoW expansion.

If you havent played XIV, and GW2 extensively; you dont have a point.

I’m pretty sure the OP like GW2, that’s why he have 6000 playing hours. But I suppose he dont’ think GW2 have enough content for him to play over 6000 hours.

I’m kind of in the same boat as the OP. But kind of hard for me to blame Anet. They are trying to put out enough content for people who play 8 hours a day.

That being said, I hope Anet will come up with some solution. There are gradually more complaint about lack of contents this days.

Berelious.3290:

You’ll be back… they all come back eventually!

Tell that to my all my previous guild mates and friends that abandoned GW2 when no end game was added.

I am the only one out of the group to even bother posting on the forums or waiting for things to get better. PPL have lost hope :/ no GvG no raids no nothing

I don’t really know. I haven’t called the majority on the phone to ask them.

But also, it’s not like there’s been no new content, even if the content isn’t necessarily content everyone likes and wants. And we don’t know what we’ll get in the next six months to a year.

Because that’s really the problem…we don’t know.

So you like to play dead stagnant games indefinitely, cool, I very much doubt most players think like you (mindless fanboy)

No, I’d rather play content I enjoy than content I don’t. Reading comprehension for the win.

Obviously I’d rather have new content I enjoy. But to like something more than another thing is not being a fan boy. That’s a completely different story. And certainly I’m not mindless.

Put it another way. If you don’t like country music, and there’s no new rock coming out, you listen to the rock you like rather than country music, just because there’s a new song. This is the same thing.

How is having a preference for a certain type of content being a mindless fan boy?

SundayTrash.9562:

all those skins, weapons and precursor and other crap in my bank are not bound yet including meteorologic, 2 chaos of lyssa recipe.

If you are really already set about quitting the game and you have said, that you will probably give alot of that stuff to your friends.

Could you maybe post a list here about all those things you cold make a give away about?
I know, you posted those pictures, but those pictures show hardly everything what you could give away, so that all this stuff stays not unused rotting on your then going to become inactive account.
Some people here seem to have problems with request of items when someone leaves.

There is no problem with that, if people just ask nice and don’t behave like mad vultures picking on a dead corpse like crazy, until they finally get something out of it.
Thats a difference.
The problem is, how should be people able to ask in a nice manner, when they have no clues about, what is all there in offer.
Thats the reason why it would be good to have some kind of clear list, if the OP is really serious about leaving the game and giving stuff away to friends (and maybe also some other peopel who ask nice for some help/something thats in the list)

I don’t have a point? lol

Since I’m having fun here (yes still) I don’t feel a burning desire to start another game, but I strongly suspect I won’t enjoy it as much as this one from what I’ve seen of it. If I thought it was the type of thing I might like, I’d have tried it.

You see you don’t have to play a game to know it’s not for you. I know Archeage isn’t for me and I haven’t played it. I know SWToR isn’t for me. That’s why people read reviews and watch videos. To see if the game is for them.

I’ve never been a fan of the FF series and it doesn’t appeal to me. Therefore, my point is valid.

As this thread isn’t constructive – Please lock.

Having played XIV and GW2 extensively I can say both games are really good.
If you like the ‘older’ format of MMOs, XIV will be perfect. The sheer amount of quality content they put out for all kinds of players (explorers, raiders, solo, dungeons, housing, gardening, farming, breeding, incredible LS, new class plus expansion set for next spring in the works) is insane.

It’s important to acknowledge that even though both are MMOs, they are vastly different. If you happen to like both takes in the MMO forumal equally, I’d recommend XIV over GW2 any day!

Just to clarfiy: do you mean that XIV can put out quality content due to monthly fees or do mean that all the quality content in GW2 is tied to the gem store? (though I don’t really think that’s true, there’s just a lack of new stuff in general)

You should know Vayne by now.

On topic, OP, do something fun since you’re leaving, convert all your stuff to gold and gamble on precurosrs / BLTC chests.
Or mess up the economy buying huge amounts of ectos and reselling them.
Do something fun, it’s no like it matters anyway.
Maybe go to Queensdale and mail all your gold to a random GW2 newcomer, or maybe warn the new players of what GW2 really is.

I’d rather play this for 100 years with no new content than a new WoW expansion.

And yet it is funny that a “traditional” MMO, is making waves and is actually attracting players that initially wanted to get away from them in the first place. You’re missing the point here Vayne, content is what keeps MMOs alive. Having less of them is a fast way of killing the game. You might want to read this quote:

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

The fact that XIV is pushing out content, by the bucket load (not to mention the level of variety) and having an expansion coming out in 2015. And this is from a game that had to re-do everything from scratch. Compare the two Vayne. GW2 is 2 years old. It had a clear head start and should be pushing content out now. People are disenchanted because there is a lack of content (and the level of variety of it). The main question is this: why is there a massive slow down in content being pushed. Why is only one type of content being pushed, at the expense of things that can prolong the life of this game.

To flip it, at the same time I can see what you’re saying. Why should a game that tried to be different from every other MMO, be pushed in to becoming the very thing it tried to get away from. And you are valiantly trying to convince others that it shouldn’t be pushed in to that direction.

You can still actually add content that makes sense and adds to the lifespan of the game, and still be different from other MMO’s.

What does it take for them see that working ONLY on LS is just bull. Sure LS is very nice, it’s just not good enough to spent all your resources on and only make LS content. Make less LS content(still make it, but just dont focus 100% on it), and make more other content.

Profit, thats the reason why they dont.

I played FF14arr year ago…pretty good game + story and dungeons but with no pvp.

Gl there.

Rather than leaving the game why not simply adjust your style of playing and do as I do once I made lvl 80. I now spend most of my time showing newbies how to play, how to do things and offering advice if they want it. I also organize small hunts, exploration and I show others the best spots on maps (any map) for their needs and point them in the right direction. Too many players complain about there being nothing more to do when there is and it’s called HELPING OTHER PLAYERS – especially those who do not have your experience or know what you know to improve their game. Give something back to the community!

Created my first character

Why should anyone care? And why are you even posting that here?

To be fair why do you care he has posted it.. its not like its in any way shape or form affecting your own experience.. every game whether MMO or Single Player has its joiners and leavers, but one thing remains constant.. every person has an opinion and like to voice it in their own way.. the OP has put his over, he hasn’t resorted to profanity and he hasn’t gone for the “oh I am so full of sadness” approach either, he just put it out there.
So he created a new character in a new game to show us all he has jumped ship.. big deal, have fun in your new land of coloured pixels… there was that so hard to do Vayne?

yup, just showing I already left GW2

hold the presses, some random guy really left GW2. Like, REALLY. And made a character in another game. And gave it a dubious name questioning his maturity.

I guess a few couldn’t care less how many leave gw2, they like the game so nothing or no one else matters, no opinions or reasons why peeps leave is considered.

Peeps who defend gw2 like its a religion they are willing to die for, yes great game community, the best they yell, then can i have your stuff lol bye.

But take a moment out of your sand box and think, why do peeps who have spent such a long time playing suddenly just have enough and quit? sure some may return every now and then to chat with guild/ friends or even play a few hours, but what is the main problems with gw2? is it the nerfs ?

Is it to solo play and random farm stuff in specific areas they enjoy? nerfs.

Is it to run dungeons, so few of them and if you repeat them you get…yes you guessed nerfs.

Is it the wonderful rewards for time spend doing fracts? nerfs.

Is it the champ trains? people playing together with rotations they run together? nerfs

Perhaps its not nerfs, perhaps its poor ls? perhaps its no new decent armor or skins other than a gem store?

Perhaps the lack of decent perm content?

If you love mmos you will love gw2, why?
If you hate mmos you will really love gw2? why?
Is it the way they took the genre and improved on it? nerf.

Why cant peeps get more content they want to play? after all the most important thing in any game is the player.

… sumtin’ sumtin’ Auld Lang Syne sumtin’ sumtin’ Kumbaya… Hey! Hey-ey!… sumtin’…

The average time spent in games priced at $60 is 80 hours. You’ve received your money’s worth. If you just do the personal story and nothing else, you’d still receive your money’s worth.

Sooooo…….bye Felicia.

The beauty of actual content updates (something Anet should take notes on) is that they have added pvp in two separate forms: small scale / big scale team fights. since a year ago.

OP is a troll..his ID is xxxx.9562.if he played gw2 for more than 2 years there is no way that 4 digits start with 9….more like less than 3 months

Mine is .9631 and I started 3 days before release. 13k AP. several legends. 30 ascended weapons crafted before plebs could get them in chests for free.

Assumptions are stupid.

I only came in to see if anyone had said Can I haz yr stuffs yet

OP, since the only thing you keep saying over and over is what massive value you’ve had out of GW2, I’m not sure what point you’re attempting to make. However I do anticipate an auto email from the mods telling me the thread I’ve posted on has been moved, ie deleted

GW2 has its flaws which have been mentioned zillions of times on this forum. I get that. This game is the best non-subscription game on the market. At least you’re not wasting $12 a month on this game!

Have you seen the patch notes for 2.4?
That’s more new content in 1 patch than Guildwars has ever had + everything from next year if they keep going down the same road. I would be so happy if I had to pay GW2 a couple of bucks a month and they would pump out this kind of patches with this kind of content.

Oh and btw, housing is not only for guilds anymore, they introduced personal housing in the latest patch, which added tons of other stuff too.

All the content in the world doesn’t matter if you don’t like the content. WoW has entire expansions that for all I want to play them might as well not exist. I can’t talk about FF, specifically, but from what I know, it’s more or less a traditional MMO. I’m here, as a lot of people are, because they don’t like traditional MMOs.

I’d rather play this for 100 years with no new content than a new WoW expansion.

If you havent played XIV, and GW2 extensively; you dont have a point.

Just ignore the troll, he bumps and keeps the very threads he complains about alive. That should explain a lot.
