Guild Wars 2

All the complaints about this game are well documented. However I do think people tend to harp on those things while forgetting the good things. I played WoW from vanilla through cataclysm. Loved it but just could not handle the dumbing down of the game and to top it off…pandas! I have tried many other games such as AoC, Rift, EvE and most recently Wildstar. What I have found is that once I played GW2 I simply could not go back to the others. I leveled two characters to 10 in Wildstar and just could not stand the cartoonish nature of the game. I had been spoiled by the gorgeousness of GW2. AoC had potential, but it will never be realized. I still play EvE but its like a second job really. I tried recently to go back to WoW and couldnt for the same reasons I dont like Wildstar.

I found out that I really love my GW2 characters. I love the beautiful scenery that greets me in each different zone. I dont care that theres no progression. I dont care that we dont have new dungeons. I dont care that they keep nerfing ways to make money. I just dont care. I love this game. Every time I try to play something else I find myself missing this game.

I suppose if I were the hardcore raider type I would have more issues but I am not. I work long hours and dont have the time to play that I used to have. So I am very casual in my commitment to any game. But I do enjoy knowing that I can log in here and unwind a bit. Might be some silly fun, doing a few dailies or participating in a few world events. Mostly I just love developing my characters…making them who they are. Thank you Anet for making such a beautiful game!

Now give me more medium tops that arent trench coats….

Beautifully put and I agree. I am extremely grateful that I was coerced into trying it out back in February last year because I have been hooked ever since. I dread the day I feel there is nothing left for me to do because I can’t imagine another game measuring up to this one. I hope though, that when that sad day comes, they take me out and shoot me before I make an ’I’m bored’ post on the forum.

The game IS good, but the way the devs have been implementing content has either been lacking or questionable and their quality assurance is terrible. The focus is lackadaisical sometimes and the fact that interaction and reassurance between the players is close to none.

In other words, it’s a great game with regressing potential due to development choices.

Of course all this IMO and from what I’ve experienced so far.
