Guild Wars 2

Seriously, before launch, Arenanet would talk down to all other mmo developers, proclaim systems that millions enjoy are suddenly outdated (next they’ll tell us shooting in a straight line is OLD), and that they are the future.

they were all over us with PR on facebook, reddit, twitter, websites, forums you name it. buttering us all up proclaiming their ‘we dont just swing a sword, we dont have grind’ etc like the rest. hopes were raised and then what…

just like amway, you go to a meeting, they dont tell you what you really are doing, they just sell you the ‘idea’. in the end, when you finally get the answer its like ‘oh, well you’re just buying groceries’ and thats basically what guild wars 2 is.

guild wars 1 WAS and still IS revolutionary, even to this day no other game has matched its uniqueness. what they did with gw2 was pull an amway, sucker us all in PR and claim its the future only to find out its bloody well not.

Agreed. So much of the sales hype turned out to simply be untrue (DEs lol). GW2 is the least revolutionary mmo to release in a while. GW1 was innovative, GW2 moved very far into theme park territory.

So disappointed. The game is like an album when a band completely sells out. They are a business and that’s cool, but it’s still very disappointing and imo unnecessary.

I agree. The points you’ve made in your post are the reasons I simply can’t drive myself to play the game anymore. It’s the same grind, the same repetitiveness we’ve seen in WoW, Rift, SWTOR, all of it veiled under tons of marketing efforts. This isn’t Guild Wars 2; this is WoW 2, with some quality of life improvements, a different setting and systems designed to coerce you to buy gems.

“…takes everything you love about Guild Wars 1 and puts into a persistent world… ". Yeah, right.

I disagree. I feel like they delivered everything they promised. I’m sorry your disappointed, but I still am loving the game.

and I have a level 80 in orr so don’t pull that, “your still leveling you don’t know” card. And I have a full guild of like minded people playing every day. Perhaps ur expactaions where not realistic.

Gw2 is the best mmo I’ve played, but thats not true for you, its almost like one game can’t please everyone… who’d a thunk it?
