Guild Wars 2

I just recently discovered how much fun WvW can be. I’m halfway through grad school and my job drives me insane, so I absolutely love to login and take out my frustration on the other servers. I don’t have any particular spot I enjoy more than anything else, even if it means taking the yak for a walk.

I used to play GW2 as a way of rewarding myself for finishing my weekly obligations for grad school. I looked forward to last weekend so much that I got some of my projects done early so I could spend extra time playing during the special event. After last weekend, I haven’t really felt like playing. I loved that GW2 was going to be a game I could play despite finishing my Masters and working full-time, but I just don’t feel that way anymore. It’s really unfortunate too because I finally have a month off from school.

Also, it’s not necessarily the grind that is turning me off. It’s that I feel like things are going in a direction that is forcing grind in order to get in on new content. With a dead guild, I’m forced to PUG and I’m afraid I would be kicked for a lack of gear or progression. I’m more than willing to grind for something I want because it’s pretty, but I don’t want to do it because the gear is essential. Sure, I can level some alts, but then what?

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about just going back to GW1. I know I can pick up where I left off, and I’d only need to update my build.
