Guild Wars 2

I don’t think things are all that bad in GW2. Other than balance which is completely terrible atm. However I do think from a PVE/WvW standpoint there are a few simple things that could make the game a lot for fun for us mmo veterans to play.

1. Zone/Dungeon themed gear- I know this is somewhat in the game with cultural weapons and dungeon sets but I think there needs to be more variety. How about common+ themed skins that just drop off mobs specific to the zone type. Nothing insane looking but related to the content. The higher the rarity the cooler the graphic. MMO players like constructing a certain look and anet wants us to revisit and explore more areas. Specific looking loot for certain areas would certainly make me go back if I was working on a certain look.

2. Server forums- I have no clue why this is not included on here. The best part of an mmo, especially one with wvw, is server pride. We should have an official forum to recruit, share war stories, or just talk about the status of whats going on in our home realm.

3. Sell me more purdy stuff on TP- I think the quaggen backpack had more people talking and excited than the actual content in the last patch. We are MMO geeks and we like our virtual swag. I think anet is trying way to hard to use the TP to sell buffs when what they really need to do is market cosmetic items. Its like the age old saying. You give a geek a buff fish he eats for a day, you give him a virtual fake pole to wear around town he don’e eat at all. But dang it looks cool.
