Guild Wars 2

I’m gonna have to disagree with you too. I’ve got a level 80 zerk warrior and a level 80 guardian, but my favorite class right now is the ranger. I’m running a mix of assassin’s and zerker gear and I usually use sword/dagger and shortbow. I take dagger just for the extra evade skill even though I lose some dps not using warhorn. The extra “oh kitten” button is nice. Also grabbed the trait with 50 percent extra stamina regen. With this build I do a good amount of dps and have good survivability because only very very rarely am I without some way to dodge. Most importantly I enjoy playing it, I love how active and involved combat is because with all the evades I can stay in melee more and only switch to ranged when I need to heal up. It’s fun.

So I’ve been following this thread and I thought I’d throw in my two cents. I don’t really know what kind of player I am, I guess I binge play. I play for a large amount of time for a couple of days but then let the game sit for a week or two.

Leveling in this game is extremely casual friendly, the combat in regular pve is really forgiving and reaching 80 is easily attainable even without completing all of the pve content.

I think the issue arrives once those “casual” players hit 80. There’s not a whole lot of casual endgame content. Saw some mention earlier that CoF p1 runs take 7min, only problem with that is no group trying to do speed runs wants a casual player in the group. And I don’t think there’s a whole lot of room for “casual” endgame content, if the hardcore people, or even semi hardcore could finish the endgame content as quickly as they burned through the leveling content, the game would be dead. My advice would be to find a guild of like minded individuals, then you can jump on and everybody can do a 20min CoF run or try and tackle some events in Orr for 30min to an hour. Or let the game sit for a while. There aren’t any sub. fees so your not losing any money, you’ve played the game for a couple months now, put it aside and come back to it later. There’ll be some new content and it will feel fresh.
