Who kittenen cares.

Anet / ncsosft money department should

and that means all of you fanboys too …
you know less money less content even less bug fixes?

No, no they shouldn’t. They already made money off him and if he doesn’t get a refund ,Which most people will not, they made their money off him.

This game will stay healthy for quite some time and probably has already met its marketing needs to the point where they have made money off of it. They will continue to do so regardless of players like this leaving as more will always join.

Just look at EVE Online. The great freak out of September 2011 (Oh the drama was delicious), nearly ten thousand players left or even more. CCP shrugged it off and guess what? Most of them came back and they have many new players now.

That is because EVE is the only modern PvP MMO on the market.

What does guild wars 2 specialize in exactly?

PvE? Eh, heaps of competition, general consensus is other MMO’s do it better.

WvW? Yeah I guess, but ArenaNet has expressed their feel that WvW is nothing more than a side activity and certainly nothing to design a game around.

SPvP? lol please.

Regardless how you feel about the OP’s post, this game is in trouble and yes the population is dropping, some servers are doing fine still don’t get me wrong, but make no mistake, ANet only has a limited time frame to actually excel at something with this game or it won’t go far at all.

In trouble according to who? You? You are injecting your opinion as fact.
Servers are still doing extremely well. Sure there are loads of people who dont log on much anymore but thats expected any mmos population drops dramatically after launch.

There are many people who love this game. Just because you didnt doesnt mean the game is in trouble. All these “doomsday” threads just make me laugh

CCP didnt “Shrug it off”. The CEO wrote a public apology, they changed the direction of their game and a few people lost their jobs over it.. or so the Internet scuttlebutt goes.
But then again, CCPs one of the smarter MMO devs out there. They KNOW how to monetize their product. Anet should be going to CCP for advice, not the bottom-feeders from Nexon

Oh yeah, and GL to the OP, I hope you find what you’re looking for. I’m in the market for a new mmo myself.. any suggestions ?

Yea go play eve since your aparently so in love with CCP

Plus it’s free. This is a fantastic game for casuals who will log in just for the expansions who are too busy to care about a new tier of items and just want to get away for a few hours when new content is released.

In the guild i am in everyone is from gw1.
Some people like gw2 and some dont, but try to like it.
The only reason i still play a bit now and then is because they are old friends i have known for a long time.

The complain i hear a lot is that pve in gw2 is a massive single player online game, and
i have to agree with that.

Yes, I’m aware that plenty of people still like this game.

And yes, MMO player base drops after launch but then it comes back when the MMO dominates in a specific area, it could be PvE, PvP, RP w/e its irrelevant. EVE and WoW are prime examples of this, WoW had a large drop shortly after launch as well and look where it is now.

ArenaNet can stop this game from being dead in half a year, but will they? Time will tell.

Every MMO is dying from its inception unless it specialises in something, if you think this game’s population has dropped by normal amounts then you are delirious, developers don’t do large changes in design if everything is going as intended.

From what I have seen so far, ANet has no intention on specializing this MMO in anything and as such, the odds of it dominating any specific type of gameplay before the vast majority leave is quite low.

The first Guild Wars didn’t specialize in anything and it was fantastically successful. In fact I would say the way the original Guild Wars was rounded out was WHY it was so successful. People could jump into nearly any aspect they wanted to without getting run out for not knowing every nuance of the game (perhaps with the exception of HA in the last few years) and it is reasonable to assume Guild Wars 2 will do well for the same reason.

Great Samuel.5346:

I mean really people this guy has viable gripes. He tells you how he feels and you come back with a childish smart@ss response. If you have noticed there are many others saying the same thing. He may leave then another so on so on. I bet more people are leaving everyday than buying this game.

He has legitimate feedback, but the problem is that these topics always get created because the poster wants to go out with a bang. He says he’s quitting, but he’s going to quietly/secretly continue to lurk the forums (and especially this topic) because he wants people to agree with him.

People make topics like this because they want to find validation for their decision, not because they want to make a statement about the game. If they wanted to make a statement about the game then they’d do so and not bring quitting into it. In the grand scheme of things, this guy leaving is entirely irrelevant.

He’s not being teased for his feedback, but rather for his insecurity and neediness. It’s a form of attention seeking and the internet has never been kind to that. Tip for other people quitting the game: cool story bro, no one actually cares, etc. A dramatic exit is no more effective than a quiet exit. Post your feedback in a constructive way that Arenanet can make use of then be on your way if that’s what you feel you need to do.

It specialized in PvP. How many other MMO’s on the market had good GvG PvP?

Well, EVE for one. Guild Wars one did everything pretty well. Except persistence of course.

Completely different kinds of PvP. One focuses on the social aspects, leadership organisation etc.

And the other focuses on tight knit coordination, also completely different settings and gameplay.

Would be akin to comparing DAoC to SB or UO. Yes they are both PvP games but completely different styles.
