I miss mystery of what kind of updates the game would be getting.

Had I known it would all be temporary I certainly would not have been very excited.

And to the people saying they never see anyone; what server are you on? I play on Ring of Fire and I actually see people everywhere I go.
Of course not in massive numbers like the champion trains, but I generally find 4-10 people per map no matter what time I go there.

Where to begin......

- Skills that hit more than 5 people
- No events full of vets and champs that don’t drop loot
- No DR when I wanted to play a 10 hour bender on my days off
- Free 1 day transfers
- WvW being about the rights and not the karma and rank farm
- BIS gear attainable through preferred play style
- BIS gear attainable for all your characters
- Ability to swap characters receive full dungeon and wboss rewards
- World/Dungeon bosses were not HP sponges.
- Waypoint mid fight in dungeons
- No fail timers
- Cheap precursors

Tequatl. I do appreciate the changes made to him, but I think they went a bit overboard, and the reliance on the turrets ruins it a bit.

I also miss Orr being the place to be. They really need to do something related to the Living Story in there, incorporate dailies into it, put stuff there, do anything at all with it…

Besides that, though, not a lot has gone, only been added.

Getting decent loot.

At release I could run around Orr and participate in some events and I’d always get at least a yellow from the trash mob drops. Now I hardly get anything at all.

At release, high-end mats could still be farmed in a reasonable timeframe. Now it seems there is anti-farming code everywhere and drops quickly take a nosedive.

- World/Dungeon bosses were not HP sponges.
- Waypoint mid fight in dungeons

These two sounds good.

Some said People/players. Well it was realy cool when playing on the starter maps and lots of people did events and Champions (Even though you didn’t get anything worth while). I hope Anet finds a way to make events more interesting and worth revisiting different maps and not just Queensdale.

I always try to take an objective view of developers, and did so at release.

I have to admit though, the faith I did have has been slowly draining as each consecutive patch further alienates me as a customer.

I’m still looking to balance that with positives…

That’s one of the things that put me off of this game, I’ve not played for months now. Been playing WoW again, but bored with that as that’s just a massive grind for gear. But after reading this thread I see things have not improved here.

At this rate I can see myself giving up gaming completely.

Yikes! You just described me and my feelings perfectly (except I bought my computer in April prior GW2 release).

I’m certainly not an exception. I’ve been playing single-player games more then ever (Fallout:NV and it’s major mod communities have been getting quite a workout from me lately). I still play EVE, although a bit half-heartedly. Seeing developers constantly turn away from themselves (and, in turn, the comunities they’ve gathered based on that identity) has taken away my ability to feel invested in anything online.

Make no mistake, this loss of faith is about communities and not players. Back at release, I almost immediately found a guild that suited my playstyle perfectly- casual people that like to expore, hang out and do random things for no particular reason (party at the LA fountain!), and just go out and have fun with the game. So what if it takes 2 hours to run AC path 2? We had a good time doing it. GW2 was designed for people like us, and we knew it. Then Ascended gear happened, and everyone knew that Anet had given in after only 3 months. My guild became a ghost town over the course of a single weekend. Now, I can’t find a guild I like at all- either they are highly focused on only one specific gameplay aspect, or just don’t do anything with each other. The ‘come hang out and have fun’ attitude is gone. The shape of the entire GW2 community was forever changed. Without that kind of stability, no online game feels like something I’m willing to sink time and money into anymore.

The innocence of people choosing gear according to stat preference and personal style vs going “all-optimal” for max money per hour and watching youtube videos and spreadsheets to verify which build and gear combo is more “efficient.” While the latter is wholly valid, it’s often portrayed as the “right” way to play GW2, and players who “play how they want” are seen as “bad” just because they won’t adapt to what is supposedly better for max gold per second (as if that is all that must matter for 100% of players.)

The problem is that a casual MMO just doesn’t really happen. Loot is a huge factor in MMOs no matter what form it comes in, and people want loot fast.

There’s only 24 hours in a day and people want the most out of it. As exciting as any content gets, it gets repetitive after a while and after that point, people just want to run it as fast as they can and grab the loot. No, its not really fun, but MMOs have never been purely about fun in the first place.

I miss the old company structure, when they actually had a dungeon team. With the living world structure we get mediocre content that doesn’t change based on our feedback because they’re already on to the next patch. Everybody agrees that the gold reward for all paths isn’t balanced but nothing will change unless there comes a living world patch that involves dungeons somehow.
