I having a hard time finding something to keep me playing the game. I’m almost level 30 already but I have already unlocked all the skills back when I was lvl 12, maybe. Every 10 levels I craft myself the be possible armour and weapons I can make and that happens to be the best available anyway.
Killing enemies is pretty boring… I just repeat the same skills in the same order over and over on any enemy and there’s never a challenge.

What is there to do in this game but just grind? What am I missing? I’ve done pvp, both kinds, didn’t like either.

You know in other games every few levels you get something new, something different, a different kind of challenge, but for this game I don’t see any of that…

You still haven’t tried dungeons yet, either story or explorable mode. They aren’t perfect, but they’re a change of pace from the routine level grind, which can certainly help.

Have you tried going into zones which are two or three levels above yours? Perhaps you’ll have more fun when the fights take a bit more effort to win.

Also, you didn’t mention the personal story. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s always worth a shot. The experience rounds up, so you’ll still get a significant benefit from catching up on the story (aka, it won’t waste your time).

The personal story I’ve tried of course, but I didn’t mention it because like all “stories” in any game it’s terrible, and I’ve tried with a few different characters.

As for dungeons… I don’t really understand how to find a group for them. There isn’t any kind of dungeon finder that I can find in the game…

Yeah, the LFG tool is a real sore spot in the game right now. It’s in your Contacts menu, on one of the tabs. But all it does is list you as lfg in whatever zone you occupy, yet no where else. Very lackluster, reportedly getting a face lift next patch.

The first dungeon is Ascalonian Catacombs, in the Charr entry level area. Story mode begins at level 30, explorable mode at 35. To get a group you’ll need to shout for members in either Lion’s Arch (decent chance to find people) or in the zone that the dungeon occupies (sub-optimal chance to find people). I won’t lie, it’s a pain, and sometimes you just won’t find enough interested people. But the dungeons are certainly worth a try, so I encourage you to persevere.

Well there’s your problem. GW2 is very pvp based, if you don’t like it you’re probably going to have a bad time, since the other option is extremely grindy and repetitive pve with no upward progression once you get endgame and no planned progression beyond that as far as I know.

The developers have publicly stated that the game will include level cap raises and gear progression. They just want to handle it cautiously.

I play pve and love it. We do the dynamic events and follow the npc diologue. We explore the world. We do our story. We do dungeons.
