Guild Wars 2

GW2 50% off until april 13.
Any of you brought friends/family in the game or plan to do it,since is more accessible now?
I will gift the game to my cousin in 2 days and he will bring a friend.
It will be nice to see a flow of new players.

No because its embarassing to invite people to a game with only one meta. The people I have invited before have left after only a short time. I learned my lesson.

The most common complaints I got from friends:
- Nobody plays this (Megaserver will partly solve this)
- Nobody wants me in their party (Speed clearing/ DPS metagame)
- How do I get that (content that is locked behind events that were removed).
- The game is too zergy (paritally solved by EOTM).
- The combat is too simple (has yet to be addressed in any way, shape or form).
- There are no expansions, or plans for any expansions.
- Living story is unapproachable to new players due to being unreplayable.

All my friends already play Guild Wars 2 regularly.

Getting a guild would help most of those “issues”.

Had a friend who left the game after being repeatedly kicked from guilds due to rules regarding representation, classes, gear, etc. And if you read around in threads you will see even guild leaders admitting that sometimes recruitment is unapproachable because the bigger guilds expect you to come to them.

I am a guild leader (guild not doing well atm) but since the guild was created months ago,we never had rules other than social rules and representation 90% of the time.
So,he might have to find THE GUILD.

Newbie here, and hopefully bringing a few people with me :-)
