Guild Wars 2

I like doing low level events. Fun and easy and still get 250 karma each time. I don’t need a legendary weapon today. It can come next week or next month for all I care. I have full exotic gear and can do any content, anywhere. That’s good enough for me and the reason I enjoy this game.

DR is okay, as I already have everything I need.

DR is a big “screw you” to weekend warriors who play part of saturday and then get blocked from content for the rest of the weekend.

Don’t presume that I know nothing about the game and how it’s devoid of end game gear centric content/grind.
If you like looking at pretty trees, to each his own, but I rather make the most of my time as I have it rather then get punished for playing a lot in one day.

All mid-process components would be nice too. Silver settings/bands/hooks etc.

I don’t think DR even affects bots as badly as it does human players. Bots stand around in one area with events that respawn in short timer periods, sure, but in the same time, a human player will bounce between 3 other events while the bot is sitting there shooting at nothing.
A lot of bots don’t maximize their monster tagging as well.

If this is done to throttle back human player’s advancement, it could be done by in some sort of weekly basis so playing a lot in short bursts doesn’t get punished the same way someone plays all the time.
If it’s done to fight bots, it’s a stupid system that doesn’t fight the source. Attack them getting accounts in the first place, attack them distributing their gains, don’t just go “oh, we’ll let them farm for 3 weeks, just at a slightly slower pace.” What’s even stopping them from swapping accounts every so often to avoid DR? Surely unsophisticated personal botting isn’t as damaging as bot systems set up the sell gold and power leveling.

There is no end to my game. I’m rushing to the beginning of it, especially after I rerolled my elementalist because it couldn’t do what I wanted and don’t care to “take my time to enjoy the view” with a new character. So I’m sorry if I don’t want to waste 20 minutes collecting plants for some stupid heart.
And I know very well what it is to make a game into a job, but GW2 isn’t it. I’m quite detached from it as it is, but it’s pretty lame to force me into even more breaks, putting me into DR mode for an entire day or more.

If you want to grind for hours

Hi. I work. I don’t get to play the game, casually wandering around and enjoying the scenery, idling around and roleplaying, like the supposed developer’s vision. I log on in the weekends and play hard and fast. I shouldn’t get punished for that. I shouldn’t get my account put into some endlessly DR mode, making monsters entirely worthless to kill for god knows how long, simply because I have focused sessions when I actually get to sit down to play.
