Guild Wars 2

Hi pvp community of GW2,
I don’t know if this is constructive or not, but i wanted to create a topic about this.

In semptember 2013 i quitted GW2 (was playing since launch), the reason was that the game modes that i liked, small skirmish WvW or solo roaming, but most of all PvP, was ZERO rewarding, so i was finding myself doin things i didn’t liked like LS or Dungeons just to obtain those things i couldn’t get from PvP. And the game was a constant run on Achievement Points through LS things that were in the game for only 2 weeks.
The game was not anymore about doing what i liked, but running in a direction without end for the sake of nothing. So i stopped the game and came back after 6 months in march 2014.

Now, after 5-6 months, i’m goin to quit again, now that i have a legendary weapon, the pvp titles that i wanted etc.. I simply can’t find a reason to play.
After the almighty Feature Patch most of the guys that i was playing with in Team Queue reached 80, and leaved the game after 2-3 weeks because they couldn’t find a reason to play. (Rank don’t measure skills but give the player a direction and a goal to achieve).
Leaderboards reward nothing, why should i bother?
WvW did not have a single change in 2 years, just some small tweaks like ranks that should have been in the game since launch.
Only PvE keep on getting new stuff and new rewards, too bad that PvE is better in almost every offline RPG, and PvP is the reason why i play online, sorry if i don’t find funny stacking in a spot nuking every single boss of every single dungeon or spamming the same button over and over again against an immobile giant monster…

But there are 2 things that bother me most than anything about GW2:
1) The game mechanics are so good that every other pvp game look boring and stupid compared to gw2, the pvp in this game is so fluid and awesome that it keeps playing thousand of players even if ANet don’t really care about them.
2) I can’t see a direction where this game is heading, why pushing TOL2 and esport things while players ask for simple things like a button to change build since Q1 2013 or a small nerf to hambow since June 2013? Why giving us PvE rewards instead of new skins? Why keeping Skyhammer in Solo Queue when there are 999999 topics about removing it? Why making the ranks meaningless after 1,5 years? This is the things that i can’t stand the most, i see so much potential wasted in this game…

Well this is it, i’ll probably come back in 5-6 months, play again, and hope i’ll see new things, but i’m not the optimist now…

this is the big thing for me too, you come in, get addicted to the amazing game mechanics, but then when you inevitably get bored and you go to try other MMOs, you just can’t play them because they feel so archaic and last-gen, no matter how dedicated their devs are, or how much effort they put in to their pvp.

thats why it feels like a tomb, the game mechanics of GW2 have made all other MMOs feel obsolete, but the seriously lacking content, balance and dev support makes GW2 unbearable aswell.
#ItsATrap!

OP +1…I’m considering quiting for the exact same reasons.

Hambow was nerfed. You can also dodge.

I hope you do leave GW2. We want less people like you.

@Fingolfin – Please do. The less QQ the better.

Man i actually play Warrior and have Champ Legionare title so i know how hambow works.
You can also look at my posts and see that i’m not the QQing kind of guy.
I truly care about GW2, i never played a game so many hours as this one.
I’ve never met so many awesome people in a single community as the italian Ring Of Fire community of GW2.
I spent money on this game trough gems.
I went to Metracritic to post a positive feedback.
I convinced 4 of my friends to buy the game.
I organized tournaments and a little pvp school for my guild.
I think GW2 could be awesome, but all this potential where is used?

It is an amazing game and not a whole lot has happened in 2 years. Who is to say things aren’t starting to happen? We finally get bi-monthly tournaments. Weekly tournaments. An All-Star event. And I’m sure more is to come.

Sure, some features need touching up, but you’re going to let that make you quit a game? Because you don’t get everything you want? And then to come make a post about you quitting the game. I’m sure you can do better than that judging from the post you just made that I’m replying to.

There is no MMO game that has more fluid combat and better balance than GW2. Seriously, there isn’t. Go play Wildstar, WoW, ArcheAge, Tera, etc. None of those even compare to GW2.

I agree some things need worked on. But never will there be perfect balance. There will always be imperfections. People don’t accept that.

its a bad excuse for a game when they want to show off with their fluid combat yet dont give a kitten about new game modes or serious balancing. its been 2 years. TWO YEARS.

What’s the excuse? That no game balance is perfect and never will be? Because it’s the truth. The balance is far better than it has been in the past. I’m assuming you started playing April 15th, like much of the PvPers now, and have witnessed only that PvP patch.

your assumption is wrong. i play pvp for over 1,5 years. and no the balance isn’t good its just “better”.

a lot of classes still lack build diversity and a lot of builds are still too strong for the low risk they bring.

Gw2 pvp not taking the game mode into account is still better than most if not all the other games like it currently available. Have you ever played an MMO pvp game where it’s completely balanced…. I know I haven’t closest thing was UO.
