Sounds to me all these elitest or high lvl exotic wearer’s forgot where they started. Kinda sad to see this MMO turning out to be like WoW or Rift. Really sad…
Don’t blame the game turning out like that. Blame the users and that kitten gaming attitude.
I quit playing after the first week, because some stuff in real life came up. To be honest, I completely forgot about this game. I started playing again tonight and.. well suffice to say my server’s lower level areas are deserted. It’s not very inviting at all..
Well, they changed the game drastically since release. It’s no longer a low/no-grind game, and instead is heavily focused on grinding Fractals of the Mists for “Ascended” gear (i.e., gear-treadmill, they added Ascended after the fact with the Fractals patch, in which they also nerfed open world loot into nothing).
FotM provides the best loot, where all the open world events now provide next to nothing and are a total waste of time, so get your grinding hat on and queue up for those mini-dungeons: that’s what GW2 is about now, grinding dungeons.
If you want to circumvent the massive and painful grind, be prepared to empty out your bank account buying gems.
Despite the massive outcry since they made these incredibly destructive changes to the game, ANet has remained completely silent on the issue.
TL;DR: The game is now more grindy and less rewarding than even the worst Korean-style super-grinder MMOs. Welcome to Grind Wars 2, please enjoy buying gems constantly or making zero progress ever.
Hah! You better have Burn Heal!
I miss bots because I was able to use them to help me level characters in Kessex Hills, Harathi Hinterlands and Sparkfly Fen. To be honest, the drops weren’t so bad either. I also got to find out what they were botting.
I could definitely see the impact they had on the prices of crafting materials. I do miss the lower prices because I craft for my own characters.
Personally, I don’t consider farming to be playing the game. Farming takes time away from being able to actually play when I have to kill the same monsters repeatedly in the hopes of them dropping the material I need to craft something because the price to buy it on the TP has gone up because the bots are gone. And drop rates are so good right?
Right now, I think people are looking at guides written to speed level trades which rely on people buying items from the trading post instead of farming. Sky Marin’s cooking guide is one example. While some players are using the guide to level cooking, others are looking at it as a way to make money. Different strokes.
So yeah I do miss bots. They are still around but I’m not reporting them anymore.
Why do you even play a game if you dont want to actually play it? Go to the fields and do your own thing… is it more fun to be waiting for the prices to drop? Is it killing the same mob for an hour is too kitten terrible you prefer no to report the guys who cheat? Seriously, why do you even play this?
