I’m curious, OP, what is it that you enjoy doing while playing Guild Wars 2?
Until this month, I’d never completed a monthly, mostly because I dislike PvP. I’d made the choice that the monthly rewards were not enticing enough for me to game outside my usual play-style. I imagine that you are doing the same with the dailies.
I can imagine dailies are a frustrating concept if you cannot log in for half an hour every day, but your post implies that you do log in regularly, but prefer not to complete the daily.
I think there is always a compromise when playing an MMO; either you jump through the hoops or you don’t get the shinies. You must decide whether the benefits of the dailies are worthwhile and if they are not, then you must accept that you have made that choice.
Wow, it seems that everything I adore about this game is everything the OP hates.
I start up my game with an idea of what I want to achieve, as soon as I login that all goes astray. I can merely wander up a path and be involved with event after event. Two hours later I recall what I was off to do and once again become sidetracked by the possibilities.
For me this game personifies the fear/excitement Bilbo had: “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
I love it.
It does seem that you are meant to do all the starter zones/middle zones regardless of your starting race/class. I think the game is designed around this premise. I completely understand that this will ruin any future alts that you make.
The levelling curve can be unforgiving, so I tend to have 3 zones that I’m working for my characters, I also believe that all the personal quest tends towards hard-mode. You can’t just settle into a zone in this game, you have to mix and switch.
As much as I should dislike all of this, I’m really enjoying it. I can completely understand frustrations though.
