Guild Wars 2

Oh. Em. Gee. I have so much to get off my chest.

First off, I just learned that I have to actually LEVEL my character if I want to get him to 80! This is preposterous! The gem store should sell me a fully outfitted level 80, for about 10 gems. (Maybe 5, because ANet is evil and stinky and moneygrubby and I’m so tired of funding their gold-plated cafeteria/caviar orgy pit that floats on an ocean of perfumed crude oil.)

Also, what’s this garbage about multiple abilities and stuff? Just make one ability that hoses the entire screen and showers me with Legendaries and Black Lion Chest keys! Anything less just isn’t fun and stuff!

What’s more, I hate being time-gated. I don’t want to have to play your content in order to play your content! Just let me have access because I have a credit card and stuff! I AM ENTITLED TO THIS BY GOD!

Oh, and I’m so kittening angry about the fact that HoT isn’t as large as the core game. It doesn’t matter that I have zero understanding of content development or game economics – HoT needs to be as large as Tyria, and have just as many events, and just as many hearts (all prefilled, of course!), and it needs to be delivered at the exact same price! Because it makes sense and stuff!

But the thing that honks me off the most? Those smarmy asspirates who use sarcasm to make observations about what they see around them. Those people are the effin’ WORST. They should all be dragged into the street and shot repeatedly!

I’m done. For now. -Sid

LMAO! I laughed anyway. Thanks for that, I needed one today.

How dare you put so many valid complaints in one thread. The internet might explode.

Careless… tztztz

ROFL this is great

He forgot to mention login rewards that require you to login. I came here to play. Logging in is such an outdated concept. I thought this game is not a wow clone.

See, I knew something was bugging me. TC update please. We should not be required to login to play.

Eve Online does it too, let’s copy them! Ofcorse this would mean we would have to change experience to levels and materies. I suggest 5 levels per month or 1 mastery step per month if 80 for optimal progression. With a Black Lion Tradingpost item that doubles the exprience gain called “neverlogagain”. Make the item look like a ninja-pirate.

Time gating those rewards behind a login wall feels like a slap in teh faec of all of us veterans playing since pre alpha headstart.

I don’t mind logging in to get rewards. What grinds my gears is the grind. Each day I have to click on the chest then click on the dailies to select them then click on that chest again to open it up. Then I have to go to the bank and deposit it or click on it to use it. Grind, grind, grind. I’m sick of it. ANet promised no grind and I have to do this grind to get my $50 gold worth of laurels, boosters, tomes, exotic equipment, Tcharges, bags of mats and luck every month. The grind just never ends.

The problem, or complaint, to which you are trying to make light of, isn’t that we don’t want to give ANet money. Hell, i’d give’m 40-50 bucks a month, if they’d just cut out all the psychological schemes to make money, such as making rare mats impossible to farm, the gem to gold conversion never quite allowing you to convert ALL of your gems (See Salami Slicing), and creating outfits, instead of individual armor pieces without adding said pieces to the game in expansions or Living Story. Be straight forward. Offer a straight forward product, and people will buy it. Its not something that needs this level of psychology applied to it!

Bad business only sticks around long enough until the competition reverse engineers your business to be a better business model entirely. Its only time, that keeps GW2 popular. Perhaps though, it is a lack of competition that allows them to do whatever they want? We’ll see. The industry is in ‘study mode’ right now, as WoW has just imploded and people are looking for that “next big thing”.

I’m so very sorry you found my totally legitimate concerns distressing! It was NEVER the intention of this post to offend easily-offended people whose “problems” make daytime TV look utterly solvable by comparison. Every problem that everyone has with the game is, of course, shared by absolutely everyone else so of course we should eliminate all those things you mentioned!

And yeah, WoW is totally in the toilet. I heard they never ever made money off of manipulating the sensibilities of people who lack sensibilities. That must be why all of those super serious problems you mentioned aren’t present on any other similar game at all. Why, the entire industry must be upside-down when it comes to monetization! We should write our Congressmen! Quickly, form the riot squads and…

…hang on a sec. You were actually SERIOUS?! XD

Baby, if that’s the case, this is not the thread for you. Or maybe it is and you just don’t know it. I gotta be honest with ya – I’m enjoying what little time I have on this planet FAR too much to figure it out for you. Think you can handle that for me? Thanks in advance. -Sid

I’m not offended in the least. I am far, faaaaar beyond that. lol

I’m just waiting. That is all. “karma” is a thing, that gets us all. Blizzard’s World of Warcraft division recently learned this.

I’m well aware that Karma is a thing. I have over 2 million Karma. But I don’t think WoW has a Karma feature, so I don’t know if what you’re wanting to happen (whatever it is – it’s probably not vindictive and petty though) will happen there.

But since you seem to be so much smarter than the rest of us, maybe it will. Lord knows I’ve been wrong before and will be wrong in the future. I’m married.

Anyway, I completely lost track of what you were talking about. A shame, because I’m sure it was comedic as all get-out and totally in line with the theme of this thread. Since I can’t be bothered to scroll up – too much work, don’t you know – could you recap the funny stuff for me?

Again, thanks in advance. :-)

M8, this is obviously a sarcastic/fun thread. Lighten up.

While I really like outfits and think setting them into individual armor pieces might be good with some it wouldn’t be. It would be nice though to pair the noble countess skirt with plated chest armor and gauntlets ^_^

They’re introducing “action” camera which I don’t care for unless I’m using a controller, and the thumb thingy is still vastly inferior to a mouse. It’s way overdue for a proper gaming controller where we can still do interface stuff with the keyboard or mouse but do actual gameplay with the controller and up,up-right,etc., would go to abilities since even very old-school controllers were vastly superior to keyboard turning since it’s limited to the four cardinal directions only:

Which is still inferior to thumb sticks which in turn are inferior to mice. Maybe a laser sensor coming out of the traditional thumb stick spot for optimal movement or a roller ball maybe?

OH EM GEE THE MOUNTZ™!

These Mountz™ must also have different levels of speed boost, just like Neverwinter! And then, we can make game levels where the best rewards go to the people who spent money on those Mountz™! Because, you know what? Taking time to enjoy one’s surroundings is for losers and terrorists! Donald Trump said so!

These Mountz™ must be either horrendously overpriced, or available only from Black Lion Chests at the lowest drop rates imaginable, because by God we need to separate the wheat with money from the brokeass chaff! We all know it’s IMPOSSIBLE to stroke kitten properly without a totally awesome, reskinned, shiny sparkly unicorn-bear-pig-dragon! Something else with an exclamation point!

Also, these Mountz™ must take up as much development time as possible! Screw new content! To hell with bugfixes! We must move around the map a little faster than we already are! And do not EVEN try to rebalance all the speed buffs! They MUST work while mounted!

(The sad part is that I’m actually starting to sound like some of the genuine complaints here. XD)
