Guild Wars 2

The new one sucks. It’s awful, and there are so many reasons it would take too long to list all of them, so if you have a reason you want to contribute please do so in a response to this.

For the time being this thread is here for one purpose. To bring to ANet’s attention that we are beyond merely unhappy with what the September “patch” did to levelling. Blocking off key game features (EG trading post) behind level walls, and pushing unlocking features of each class further and further back.

I strongly urge people to +1 this, respond to it, spread it around because this change the devs made is unacceptable. We didn’t pay for this crap. We payed for the Guild Wars experience that was.

It’s ok to balance, it’s ok to tweak. It is NOT ok to overhaul a system that worked just fine as is.

(Off topic note for mods, is there a reason the Suggestions thread is locked to me??)

Whilst I agree that the new levelling experience is worse than before I think you picked a bad example. Even on your very first character you can access the trading post right from the start.

The icon is hidden at first, and the NPCs have been removed from the lowest level area of the starter zone, but at any point you can press O to open the menu or (after the introduction instance) go to a city to find an NPC.
