“Socialism doesn’t work in real life nor in a game. This needs to be reworked to reward the productive and not the lazy.”

Exactly.

Though I do like the idea that I get credit for helping even though I had to quickly log-off to care for my baby. My playing time comes in spurts – 10 minutes here and there, and every once in a while, an hour straight! WooT

That being said, I love the idea of how Arenanet set up the all events that I have experienced so far. But I would like a bit more scalability here. If I start an event and see it through to the end, I want more reward. Likewise, if I jump in at the end, I would not be disappointed if all I got was random loot from the reward chest. Save the fine/exotic/whatever loot for those who did the heavy lifting.

This will encourage more people to team up and WORK!

The personal story is terrible in this game.

After watching that GW1 storyline….lmao “may the Gods watch over your pursuits..”

that was very bad.

Though I am a newb to GW2 – still trying to figure out which toon I actually want to play, and so far only narrowed down to theif, ranger, elementalist, and Necro…lol, I still have enjoyed the personal story line thus far. Which is to say, not far at all.

I think it is a good effort and clearly it has come a long way since GW1. That being said, I do not expect an epic tale, nor epic gear from a PVE series.

My past online gaming experience is Dark Age of Camelot (DAOC), which pretty much makes every other online game a simple matter of ‘rock, paper and scissors…’

This game has beautiful graphics with a pretty low end cpu/gpu demands. That is an accomplishment in itself. My only critic this far is how they have made it so race does not matter – sort of a reverse discrimination thing. All races are equal in PVP. Whats the point? I like the Charr skins, and storyline so thats what im playing. But I see no advantage to picking Charr over any other. What I loved about Dark Age of Camelot, is racial choices mattered. It seems online gaming has lost the rough edged competativeness that made DAOC the best PVP game in history – in my opinion.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the unfolding of what may be a flawed personal story.
