Guild Wars 2

Got into a really good guild, finished my story, enjoyed my engineer fully and absolutely adored the game to death, i couldnt get enough of it! Many hour each day, i even got the collectors edition which is really nice.

However, there are 2 things that i learned can really turn me off in an MMO, no matter how Fudging good it is.

Botting
Lack of decent rendering

Botting is a clear problem that really wont bother me all THAT much, but it really burns me to the bone when it gets in the way of my gameplay, and shows itself bodly as if to spit in my progress and say “Theres a bot for that, for 30 bucks you coulda done all this and more without even playing” Guild wars 2 had such a compelling story i could care less if there were 3 million bots, but afterwars wheni wanted to do a bit of off the path adventuring i found myself getting angry when i came across a fellow traveler who fooled me into thinking it was a real person.

Lack of rendering in the WvW is no joke, its a VERY serious ditterent, and i am very surprised that a prestiguous company like ANET would mess up like this, its VERY serious. The guild i was in had to adapt to this, through all the complaining and wow this is fudging stupid. Our comanders found ways to cope and win every fight like this, it was nice to win at first, but after a while it just seemed tedious and repetative, there was no way to tell what was going on, just throwing down aoe’s hoping to hit a hot spot.

When those two problems get fixed, ill be back into guild wars 2, until then the game just doesnt seem fun anymore to me, strange, guess its just me.

Pretty sure these 2 issues will get fixed soon. Arenanet’s working on both of them. Glad to hear you love the game otherwise too!

Why do people care about there being bots, never got that, I understand Anet would care but they don’t affect my game experience in any way.

It afected mine multiple times to th point i switched server due to it

It actually wont bother me much at all, especially if they a few and far between, but ill be derned if there are so many around an event that i cant kill anything, that its all dead before it even shows on my screen!

Tried switching servers? I’ve come across a few on Desolation, but not nearly enough to make me throw my pc out of the window.

Uh, yes they do.

They put gold into the market, and thus raise the amount of gold, thus lowering the “Value” of your gold.

And plus, you know how hard it is to tag in events when their is 35 bots in an area being a pain? It comes and goes, some areas its worse then others, but man, sometimes its gross.

I LOVE to explore and climb and stuff, so its really annoying to be off in the shiverpeaks where not many people are and seeing the landscape without many people, I duoed a group event with some ranger who said “High five!” afterwards, that was great!

I go back to queensdale and what do I see? bots bots and more bots. And that KILLS any sense of good feeligns I had. And thats no fun.

Thats called immersion, a very big part of an MMO, in whatever fantasy land that was made by arenanet, i dont imagine they intended heroes to be doing the same exact task for 300 hrs nonstop, i think that just eliminates the sense of danger, maybe tyria is truley saved, and its time to move on.

I’d argue that the same issues would arise when actual players at their computer run events, but fair points, I see how that could be annoying.
