Here it is Sunday 11:55pm, Lion’s Arch is in overflow, there’s a queue for WvW and my guild has 40+ people online

Game is busting at the seams popular.

go anywhere else but LA. 200 people on a server isn’t much. Thats all it takes to make LA go overflow.

But we have already established GW2 has more people playing than Black Ops 2 (PC) and Diablo 3 looking at data from two separate data sets (Steam and Xfire). What more do people want?

The people that are truly upset with the addition of the rings and backpack gear are looking for validation of their feelings. “I’m upset, therefore everyone must be upset, therefore everyone has stopped playing, therefore the game is dying!”

The others are paid game-bashers just riding on the hurt feelings of those players.

The game is soaring in popularity, this upsets some people.

Why isnt this idiot being moderated and infracted for trolling ?

Because he is a fanboy of the new grindpolicy.

What grind? Seriously, this game has NO grinds compared to other MMO’s. It has NO gear threadmill worth mentioning. And still people keep referring to this as a WoW clone. I seriously doubt those players played WoW on a raiding level, where a tedious grind every day was required to be even prepared).

This game is very easy going, you can get by perfectly without 1 serious grind.
You can do grinds (for legendaries for example) but that’s your own choice: it’s optional.

Why do people fear 'power creep'?

MMO forum communities are so ‘funny’. Even during the massive succesyears of WoW, people on the forum complained about everything possible: nerf this, nerf that, content was too hard, then they whined about welfare epics, later on the expansion was totally failed, but one expansion later the previous one was the example to follow…and the game was dieing every few months according to the forums.

Look now..it’s still number 1.

I played WoW, Swotr, GW 1, GW 2 and some minor ones. Every forum is the same. People who are the most upset will act faster and post stuff. People who are content, are playing the game.

Just to say that a forum is NOT a representation of the majority. Which doesn’t means people who are posting should not be heard. It’s just dangerous to assume that 6000+ posts on 1 topic means the majority thinks likewise.
