So I’ve seen some changes for the game and they really aren’t working well with me.

Camera position for one. I’ve have all tall characters and I already used the one makeover kit and short norns aren’t my style. first picture is before I stop playing early last year the second one is after I came back and third one is after i used makeover kit and put the slider half way.

among other things that were changed and bother me so much it is really hard to get back into this game(this page would turn into a wall of text). And considering the other mmos have done more in less time gw2 has been out. hell gw1 did more.
refer to this reddit post
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2qv15n/today_guild_wars_2_is_as_old_as_guild_wars_1_was/

To me as a long time gamer it is hard to understand what anet is up to since they tease the hell out of each patch only for the player like myself to get absolutely nothing from it other then more gem store stuff that you either need to spend time farming gold(which really I don’t mind but it does take a lot of will to do so) to exchange for or 20 or so dollars to buy gems.
think about it have you ever bought gems how much has it all added up plus buying the game. if you gone over 70 bucks for gems you’ve could of payed for a copy of another more recent mmo and year long sub with all its content still in the game and not worry that content is gone due to it being limited timed living story events(mostly season 1 stuff season 2 was bit nicer on this but if you didn’t log in for those episodes fork up some gems).

and now this expac hype due to forecast earnings. honestly all I can say it better be jammed back full of fresh game because combat sure is stale with lack of new skills for past two years new weapons new classes at which refer to the reddit post gw1 did in less time.

I need a reason to come back fully for more then build another legendary, play an unbalanced pvp(due to lack of new skills) with stale gamemodes(outside that 1 new map that I have to play in unranked) and maps(skyhammer is literally the worst map ever created). and basically achievement hunting.

Depending on time of day, who’s on, etc, you are going to get a tirade of posts here saying why to come back, and why not. It will be your duty then to sort through those opinions and decide for yourself.

Or, you can just long on, play, chat, and decide yourself if you are having fun. And if not, then at least you made your own decision.

By all means, give it a walk-about. You’re not out a sub fee to see what you think of how things work now. Make a new character, see if you like or dislike the whole New Player Experience and redesigned trait structures.

Just don’t set the bar of your expectations too high. Other than that, give it a spin, see if it grabs you.

One is only the smartest person in the room if they are alone.

This post should just be deleted as it offers nothing but complaints and jabs, not one constructive thing to say.

After you :P

Hey OP, you are not chained by a sub fee. Play if you want. Don’t play if you don’t want. If you truly don’t have a reason to come back then don’t. The game will still be here a year from now in case you decide to check things out again. It’s all up to you.

Give us more GW 1 weapon and armor skins, please. COPY/PASTE ALREADY!!!!

I would say it’s constructive to know that the game as it stands now didn’t meet this player’s expectations.

I agree the message could have been phrased more tactfully, but what this player is saying has value.

After me? My post can be deleted if you really want it to be, I don’t mind.
