-What do you dislike?
Where the game is heading currently,
classes are unbalanced, Anet makes too many drastic changes
PvE gets so bland
After playing for some time you get so bored
Despite their “manifesto” its still a grindy game
There really is no true incentive to play.
Look above in the huge explanation for the shallowness of the game and what i dislike about it
Where the hell is the lore going? What about GW1 lore? Mursaat? Dwarves? Forgotten? Cantha? Elona? Ring of Fire? Come on Devs. this is just sad.
Also, since the game is built on dragons invading Tyria, make the fall out of the sky! in Orr you see the dragons flying above you and casting shadows. Make them randomly drop in areas and have a event tied with it. That will get more people involved in the game and make it ten times for fun.
Add more depth to the game. Look at GW1 its soo deep and intense. This game is a joke. Im still playing it just to get achievements or to check updates.
I seriously want hte devs to listen to true GW2 players, not those random kids that ask them random crap like town clothes or some other dumb thing.
I seriously want them to expand the map, we’re so limited on the current map or add more interesting backstory.
Finally I hope that they start incorporating more GW1 stuff in the game. like a fractal with you killing rurik in the ring of fire at the end of GW1 prophecy or fighting Shiro in GW1 Factions.
Make this game have a sense of feeling like Factions. Right now you arent tied to any faction or group so thers no incentive to do anything.
If your gonna introduce more people to the game, give them a back story of everything that has happened thus far in the “lore” of GW2 (all the living story) in the beginning of the game or something like that. I have had friends that say they are lost in the story of the game because of the living story.
-In your opinion, do you like the direction of this game? What would you like to see?
The direction of the game scares me.
I would like to see more depth in the game. Bring back some GW1 lore, expand into Elona if not Cantha. Introduce the Deep Sea Elder Dragon, Do something that changes the game, or an event that makes an impact in the game without funneling all the players into one map.
-Am I being fair in my observation?
I feel like coming from GW1 I was robbed of my enjoyment of the game. GW2 is a totally different game from GW1 and I dont blame the devs, but its so poorly executed that the game is bad. Honestly, I find too many people AFK in lions arch, like the population has significantly decreased since start. Why? you know the reason why.
But overall, I find myself pretty fair with what has happened so far.
-Will you recommend Guild Wars 2 to a friend during the “Migration” period?
No
-Why or why not?
This game is nothing compared to its predecessor. Its too shallow and with the recent update, where is the game going? Its so bland and all it is is just another way to funnel people into certain areas. Think about it. With each update the devs/writers funnel people into certain areas of the world leaving the rest super super empty. Think about the people who would be joining now. The game they play now is totally different from when GW2 launched and all the maps where populated. I just find the direction they are heading in right now very very dangerous. Also the game today is totally different from when it was 1 year ago. Since the living world crap, the devs have been funneling people into certain maps while keeping the rest super super empty making the entire gameplay totally different. Lvling now would be so boring compared to how it was 1 year ago
-What do you like about the current Living Story content?
I dont like it at all. Theres no depth to fractals. Sure great you added and modified some fractals, cool. At the end of the day its just another grind. Plus its pointless, grinding all the way to fractal lvl whatever has no impact on the world. Tyria doesnt change from people doing FOTM. Its cool how you can do some interesting things in fractals that you cant do in open world but its the same thing over and over and over again. I absolutely hate Scarlet. Like the devs and writers think they made the ultimate character with Scarlet? My kitten . This game was originally built on “OMG dragons are attacking” keep it that way. Unless the devs mindblow us by linking Scarlet to some crazy dragon that leads into an epic boss fight (THATS NOT A ZERG FIGHT) then people would be accepting of the annoying character. Also, when I did the thaumanova reactor, I was so pumped that it was gonna be a worth it fractal to do ( I havent done any fractals since the release of fractals and since then I only did like 3), but nooooo, the writers and devs found some dumb way to implement Scarlet. THat made me so upset. BUT its a good thing that they did not implement the abaddon fractal because if they tied it with Scarlet in a kittened way then I would just quit. But the abaddon fractal would teach alot of the GW2 players about the pre GW1 lore and doing a fractal about one of the Gods sounds pretty kitten intriguing, you’d learn about the God, fight is crazy looking followers (search em up they are really cool looking), learning about the forgotten, and learning about Pre GW1 Orr and how beautiful it was before the cataclysm. Which leads me into my next thing. The lore from GW2 is totally different. okay great the dragon thing is good,but since then what the F has gone into the lore of the game. The writers are going on tangents about Scarlet and all the enemy Alliances (which upset me so much especially the Krait) THe lore from GW1 was amazing and thats one thing that lacks in GW2. There is no deep lore that makes the game intriguing. Either your fighting the undead in Orr nonstop or your doing fractals or your WvW which is brainless too. Its sad to see a beautiful game with so much potential go to the trash.
There should be only 5 elder dragons why the hell are devs adding a new one? are they just throwing away all the awesome lore that they developed in GW1?
we know of
-Zhaitan (worst dragon boss)
-Tequatle
-Jormag
-Kralkatorrik
-Deep sea dragon
the apparently sixth elder dragon would be so out of place. What happened to the mursaat? what about the ring of fire? how about the Forgotten in the crystal desert. What about Cantha, Elona? Factions and etc.?
Scarlet Briar is so kitten annoying. Ascended the tower of nightmares? You see Scarlet and she disappears, you do the fractal you see Scarlet is behind everything. So basically Scarlet dictates everything in GW2. Thats kittened.
The fractal was a joke. Super disappointed. The abaddon story would be ten times more interesting because how the hell would they include Scarlet and your doing a story about a God. Wtf are the writers and devs doing?
Oh yeah to those who have yet to learn about the lore of Cantha here it is:

Honestly, I’m pretty much sick of the living story. It doesnt add much to the content of the game and in the end its just filler and ultimately goes to trash. Like grinding mad king’s labyrinth is pointless, its pretty much the same thing over and over again and the past few living stories have been pretty boring.The only thing Im afraid of with Cantha (if they ever do release it) is that it would end up like southsun cove which is a huge disappointment. But if Cantha is ever introduced, I feel pretty optimistic about it because the history of the continent is so deep and rich and it would feel like a waste to throw it all away.
Adding Cantha or any other continent would bring back a lot of the gamers who quit and bring back old GW1 players (like me). Hopefully they listen to the interests of the people.

Great friendly guild guys, perfect for players who want to get to know other players while dungeoning/ fractals.
