Guild Wars 2

I have been excited about this game ever since I saw videos posted of the capital cities. This game is unbelievably beautiful, and I love the way it looks every second. But I feel like this game has nothing that is really pulling me to level up. I know that the point of the game is not to get to 80, but I am being pushed there. I feel like the only thing that keeps me going is the (#Level) beside the next objective of my personal story. I feel like the personal story should be linked directly, with me being able to just go through my entire personal story consecutively, even if it took me through all of the zones on its way. With the current system, I feel like I go and do the fun personal story stuff, then I have to go back to pure farming levels through killing centaurs. Once I do that for about an hour, I go back and do the fun personal story stuff. Then I go back out and farm, farm, farm my levels. Whether this is intended or not, I feel like half of my time is spent doing lame things like escorting the caravan to get experience.

And the big part for me is that my personal story is all I have to look forward to while farming. I mean, I can get over some farming, after all, its in almost all mmos. What I cannot get over is that I have nothing to even fantasize about. In other games, I would see players with the awesome mounts or epic wings or with powerful pvp gear, and I would fantasize about what it would be like to have them. Every level would be one step further to that epicness. Even if it was completely unrealistic for me to hope to get that stuff, I would still see it and strive for it.

In GW2? I see a high level player and wonder if they have enjoyed their personal story. I have no desire to be level 80, none more than I do to be level 79, in fact, probably less. Level 80s will probably be finished with their personal story.

Please give me something to work for. Give me a fantasy. Otherwise, I feel unbelievably bleak in a beautiful world

well like everyone has said to me.

but-but-but theres tonnes of dynamic events and maps to do! we don’t care if you’ve done them 10 times each or if they’re basically just a glorified way of saying go kill 200 of that monster. you need to do it 100 times more for that awesome purely aesthetic legendary!

this game was never about level 80 why are you level 80 already? go delete your character and play a new one and this time take 2 months to do it ok?

if you haven’t played the way i just said it, you’re playing the game wrong.

oh and DON’T you ever ask for more, because the game is fine the way it is.

Well there is the myraid of achievements you can obtain.

Barring that, you can look forward to Free Content updates, and Expansions.

Since there is no obligation to pay like other MMO type games, you can come and go as you please if you ever feel like you have completed what is currently available, content wise, for the aspect of the game that suits your gameplay needs.
