Guild Wars 2

Not to sound rude, but what is the point of this post? Nothing has changed. The P4F thing is not a problem, as gold sellers can only whisper one person every 60 seconds. So block and life is great, not that I get whispered much these days. When I do get whispered by a gold seller, I give a quickkittenand block report and carey.on with my day.

D3 is a gear-grind no matter which way you slice it.

GW2 is a gear-grind only if you choose to make it one.

If you haven’t played D3 yet, then you might get more mileage out of it than GW2 before the Skinner Box starts becoming so apparent… also there’s less people to get upset at if that’s indeed an issue for you.

Both games can become repetitive/grindy, but I think GW2 has more ways to break up monotony if you’re willing to explore options outside your comfort zone.

I’ve never had any issues with FTP players in GW2….? I don’t think there are a whole lot of ‘young kids’ who play this game. I’m sure there are some. But it seems to be a mostly older teenager-adult community? Only time I run in to immature people is PvP.

Also I’ve only been whispered by gold spammer a handful of times over the years and I just block them when I see them.

Still f2p

I want to play the game for its challenge and competitiveness not who has better gear.
So you quit here and went to a gear grind game?

Ok. Well the game is still the same so jump in and play.

Hello players of GW2 I quit the game 2 days after it went f2p for the following reasons:

1: F2P players, I can’t explain how much I hate f2p-ers. More gold spamers the “I can’t do that cuz am f2p” etc. And the most annoying part for me is the childishness…. The pay to play sets a somewhat a barrier for kids to play games sure their parents can pay for it and so on but it is never the less a barrier Ive played a lot of games f2p and p2p and i found the p2p community to be more mature.

2: The game became to grindy.. I have full asc set weps armor trinkets rings for 3 classes (no legendary wep) but after I read the patch notes for the up date that legy armor and trinkets would be added made me lose it.. I want to play the game for its challenge and competitiveness not who has better gear. (Again I know that legy doesn’t give a big advantage)

3: the economy is down. U know why

why am I considering coming back

1 I have some free time on my hands and am bored
and am picking between Diablo 3 and HoT
The favor is for Diablo 3 tho

Point 1: Gold Sellers are nothing to do with P4F players, at all. Gold sellers have been around since 2012, and in fact, I’ve been getting less not more gold sellers since this game became P4F. Your “hatred” for players you don’t know I suspect stems from the simple fact you think you’re above them just because you paid for something they get for free. I could be wrong though, but it’s a common occurrence among games or websites where there’s a shared paid & free community.

Point 2: The game is only a grind if you let it be. You don’t have to grind for anything to be honest, especially since you’ve already got full ascended gear. Most grind is about skins, and lets be honest. If they were easy to get, people would complain about most people having the same thing as everyone else. Anet can’t win either way.

Point 3: Is it?

On your reason coming back, but you’re not really you’re going to this Diablo game: why are you telling us then?

D3’s infinite paragon level and item inflation effect into pvp
it is really bad than D2 I feel. And therefore nobody doing pvp in D3.
So I quit D3 and find this game GW2.

To be completely honest NO ONE cares if you come back or not. You will have no impact on the game either way. Nothing in the game has changed nor will it likely. As the others asked why bother even posting? D3 is a good game in itself indeed head there and DON’T let the GW2 door hit you in the bum on your way out GAME ON

I’ve seen a few players I thought might be F2P. I’ve seen one say one line in Say. That’s been the extent of their “intrusiveness.” If my experience is any kind of barometer, then you need not be concerned about that aspect of your play experience.

Free to play players can’t talk in map chat and they can’t even whsiper you more than once every 30 seconds if they’re not on your friend’s list.

Ugh, why are there still people whining about F2P? Seriously. It’s just a dang marketing gimmick for Anet so they could sell more games and make more money. F2P never bothered me. They can’t talk to me, I can’t talk to them.

The Grind aspect in this game is 100% optional, though it seems like more and more people everyday complain about the grinding in this game and the fact of the matter is, if you’re competitive and you want the best of the absolute best, you’re going to grind for it, no matter what. They actual fact here is simply: You never NEED to, or every HAVE to, so stop making it sound like grinding in this game is mandatory – because it’s not. It never was.

You can still get from lvl 1 to lvl 80 with your simple rare, gold/yellow gear and weapons. If YOU want exotic and Ascended, then you’re gonna have to work for it, how is this different than any other MMO out on the market, honestly?

If you’re considering coming back to GW 2 but Diablo 3 is on the table and you’re leaning towards Diablo 3, then go Diablo 3… and then play it until you find something to complain about there. Ugh.

Oh, and the economy is down, you say? Name me one MMO out there whose economy had been 100% stable and on the high note for the entire length of its career.

This is the equivalent of walking into a party and announcing i would prefer to be at another party. With every game you balance what you like and what you don’t like, then decide if you will have fun playing it. What’s the point of this thread?

If you didn’t like how grindy it was before HoT, wait till you see it now. Hint: you won’t like it.
