Guild Wars 2

I’m going through world completion again for my third legendary, and what I constantly wish for, is that I was on my main! I have other level 80s, but I enjoy playing as my warrior main the most, but I’ve already done world complete with it before.

I think world completion makes up a MASSIVE majority of the content of GW2, and shows off it’s BEST attributes. I’ve been playing since launch, and even though some LS patches had us come back to old areas, It preoccupies you with completing that task, and other than massive changes like thorns and destruction of former places, you don’t look around much.

Going through world complete again, I am seeing SO much content and having awe moments at the massive and beautiful world structures, and seeing all the active quests and details and items that blew me away when I started playing, and I wouldn’t be seeing this if I weren’t playing through on an alt for world completion!

I think part of why people get so bored and end up in dungeons constantly, is because If you don’t like playing alts, and you are already level 80, and have put so much time into one main, you have 0 reason to go through the ENTIRE world and explore. LS updates can send you there, but it isn’t the same, as you b-line to the objective, and have no reason to wander.

Even if I got less of a reward, like only 1 Gift of Exploration, and maybe a title “Around the World and back” or something, I would still be 100% satisfied, as I would be able to play the character and profession that I actually want, and do the things that I need to continue to horizontally progress. The way it is now, I feel like I HAVE to play this alt that I am just so-so about, to get a Legendary that I am going to only use on my main (even though ac bound, I enjoy using it as my main!)

With Megaservers, Loot scaled to level, account MF etc. PvE has everything it needs to make repeating world complete on a main, a fun and productive option! Even if it’s just a heart reset, or an option like the LS Journal that toggles to show purple hearts!

We could even have a status buff that makes us take agony or increased damage on that map. GW1 Hard Mode basically did the exact same thing in reverse, it buffed all the mobs. We can’t do that here as it effects lower level people in open world, so instead, we can debuff ourselves, and it will increase the difficulty for US without effecting anyone else!

There has always been a focus on making it easy to alt, but there needs to be more options for people to MAIN! I think in the end it accomplishes the same goal, of getting more population dispersed, and adding replay-ability without needing to make a new character.
