Guild Wars 2

I want to know what you guys think about the whole living story strategy Anet has for “keeping” players interested and playing in the game.

Am i the only one who feels that every month, We get THE SAME living story but with a different “Skin” to it?

- You always need to hunt for pressents / seeds / holographic thingies or whatever.
- you always need to kill a boss / complete a jumping puzzle of some sort- With no significant rewards from any of them, which makes it pointless to do.
- The achievements always feel the same! maybe one time you got them all dragon themed, and one time all toxic themed, but they are generally the same.
- You always get some sort of weapon skins to make you buy more gems in order to get keys for black lion chests.
-You always get some sort of back item related to the story.

The stories themselves are pointless. as much as they are nice, I am playing a game, not reading a book or watching a movie- Give me a story, but don’t make me do the same stuff over and over- changing the story itself and making me do the same stuff doesn’t keep anyone interested or fascinated.

As a hard core pve player, After getting almost all of the classes to 80 and fully geared, i found that these “Living world” stuff have nothing new to offer to me. they are simply the same thing with a slightly different skin to them.

Also, why do Anet think that these Living Story stuff are actually good? by releasing so many pointless and “Copied” updates and not adding any ACTUAL NEW CONTENT just makes people who love the game log in once a month, play a day or two, and leave.
Seriously, After not playing for a few months, I logged back in to check out what’s up a few days ago and found out that NOTHING significant has changed. everything is the same.

Im not comparing between WOW and GW2, these are two different games and i love them both very much, but for WoW, after not playing for about a year, and logging in today- I found out that I had to actually LEARN a whole lot of new stuff because the game has changed so much and added so many cool features to it – and I can’t tell you how awesome it feels! to have new content, not stuff to do, no zones to explore etc …

Worth to think about ?

What do you guys think
