i know we all have an update to look forward to this month , and yes rolling out a new character is an option for me . but to me it seems like this game like with many other mmos , has hit a snag and im finding myself not enjoying this game like when i first played it .
to me it seems like all the fun of leveling up a character and getting it geared up has all stopped and im just not feeling the joy in this game like i use to , don’t get me wrong , i still enjoy sometimes doing wvw from time to time .
but even that is becoming stale and predictable , there just is no excitement or objectives that matter for me when i do go into wvw knowing that the tower i just took is going to be taken back and it serves me no interest at all in this game , the idea of taking a tower or a keep should have value to your guild and server , but the more and more i do this i see that this is in no way benefiting when no one gains or loses anything of true value , perhaps if you told me that with each tick a tower my guild claimed was granting them some kind of monetary value , i could say yes this is important . but that is not the case here in this game .
this whole debate of which server is the best is nothing more than propaganda to claim which server really suffers the most with que time for wvw .
being tier 1 you might see more action there than you would normally on other tiers lower round the clock but the lower tiers don’t have to worry about que times like the top tiers do .
and even being tier 1 is not that special at all , mostly you see zergs running around because using strategy or tactics completely goes out the window when you can simply zerg everything down and take things out with numbers . there is no true battlefields for generals in wvw where holding strategic positions on the map would help aid you more than who you are fighting . no it’s just mindless zerging and unfortunately it’s quite embarrassing compared to the rvr of daoc , a game that came out in 2001 still to this day has a better rvr system than guild wars 2 which came out last year .
then you have the legendary weapons themselves , all that work for a weapon with the same stats as an exotic and it makes little no difference at all if you have one or not . so what if your sword is fancy and neato , i can use an exotic weapon and still beat the same foe as you and it changes nothing .
this game needs something fresh , something new , something that will keep my interest , a new expansion is just the thing to pump more life into this game , problem is that the people at arena net have made statements that they don’t have any plans for an expansion any time soon and that they are more focused on the living story
what ever the living story is , im not interested in it because it serves me no reason to care , the personal story rewarded you as you leveled up , this living story from what i have seen does no such thing to my knowledge .
im just hoping that with this new update , it will give me a reason to stick around longer , because at this moment i am burnt out on this game and im not enjoying it anymore .
