Guild Wars 2

diabluz.2860:

If you bring up Guild Wars 2 in a MMO community you’re swamped with “GW2 blows”, “GW2 sucks” etc. They usually seem to dislike the leveling and say it’s boring, grindy and monotonous. I’ve heard complaints that it’s “not fun” and there’s “no end game”.

Thoughts?

Comedy at its finest, seeing as how that’s my opinion on pretty much every other MMO out there.

I will admit that GW2 does not have much of an endgame. But what MMO does? GW2 has Orr, Dungeons, WvW, and sPVP. Compare that to WoW which has… insert highest level pve area here, raids, and PVP, and I don’t see what people are complaining about.

Am I just completely missing some appeal of WoW? I played it for a month and had no desire to do so again, especially since I had to pay for such a “privilege”. Meanwhile in GW2 I’m 80 and still having a blast.

Yes, GW2 has its flaws. Every game does. But there’s a lot of good mixed in there as well.

As for GW2 being a “minority,” well, that is in all honesty pretty much a given. WoW came before it and really popularized the genre, so people will swear by it regardless of how atrociously kitten it is.
