Guild Wars 2

Whether it’s a 5 year old playing, or a 80 year old grandma, I can BET that MOST of them will enjoy learning how to dodge, learning the meaning of veteran and champion, learning the flexibility of combining skills early on, the HARD way, and not being held hands troughout FOURTY levels.

I believe the ‘learning the hard way’ factor is the thing that drew so many players in, in the first place.

I don’t like to be held hands
I like to fail
And improvise
And feel good about it when I succeed.

I used to enjoy WoW for its difficulties and mysteries, it encouraged interaction between players, before it turned completely brainded game void of any player choice.

GW2 re-invigorated those feelings of a vast, beautiful, mysterious, deadly world, until now. Now it’s just… braindead.

This is not just about the actual features, I’m worried about the future of the community, that I’m going to be interacting with, if you make a game for kittens, you’ll eventually get a community of kittens.

I’d bet 50 bucks a chimpanzee can reach level 20 on its own eventually.

I’ll take that bet if you supply the chimpanzee.

I’ll take both bets if you don’t mind: The chimpanzee and the one about the 5-year old and the grandma.

I’ll have to make a few calls for that.
