Guild Wars 2

I agree HOT is absolutely terrible. I have to force myself to play and it never ends in a rewarding experience.

I was doing the adventures that I hate and was told were optional to get mastery points when getting very close to gold night time hits. Oh here’s a 40 minute break before you can even do the content you don’t want to do so you can get something you basically need. Screw around for a bit until patri pops and go to fight her. Not nearly enough people and unlike GW2 since the content doesn’t scale at all in HOT GG. We have her at about 3% after the 20 minute fight and nope you lose no rewards. Then I get to go back to my “optional” adventures until the meta decides I can’t even work on that anymore.

Honestly I’ve never seen an expansion screw up so many great things from the original game. It’s like it was designed by a completely different company. The vast majority of my days since HOT came out are logging in to get my daily reward and flax grinding. I guess I still bother doing that in the hopes that they will fix it but i’m not holding my breath.

From what i can see, as you have probably realized yourself, is that the main reason you are feeling this way is because GW2 is best played with friends.

The only real reason I’m still playing (as a thief main), is because of my guildmates. Without them, I’ll probably had moved on into another game by now.

Before i joined my guild, i had the same problem. I was not actually actively playing gw2, playing on and off, logging in just for daily rewards and all.
It all changes when you get (as in really get into) a guild.

I recommend finding an active guild and get involved in it. =)

Most of it true for me yeah. Problem is, GW2 and the ability to switch in and out of guilds, I haven’t found a tight-knit guild until the one I had that fell apart. Either you get a 1-3 people dead guild and 2-3 representing another guild or you get into a super massive zerg guild of 100 online and no one knows anyone.

Personally, I am in a huge, maxed-out PvX guild, with strict rules, like 90% rep (the 10% is for personal guilds), being kicked after 2 weeks of inactivity without notice, with 495+ members at all times as my GM is constantly recruiting people.

And sure, in the first few weeks in my guild, I don’t know anyone in the guild, and quite a few people come and go in such a guild.

But even within a large guild, you may be able to find a group of people who are dedicated, loyal and active, and generally always play a certain mode together. Even with almost 500 members, there’s always different cliques within the guild. The Hardcore Dungeon/Fractal/Raid runners, the PvP group, the WvW people etc.

I found my place in my guild through WvW, (which is made up of less then 5% of our guild members, due to the state of WvW currently). While WvW brought us together, in the end, we pretty much do all the content of gw2 together.

Best way to find friends in gw2 is to simply join a large, active guild, and participate in guild chat and guild activities (besides guild missions). =)

Anyway, good luck finding a purpose to stick with gw2~ because honestly, there isn’t much reason to stick around at the moment. =/
