This is a post I can respect. What’s your normal play time and where do you live? I can look out for you and give you a hand if you want.

Thanks.

I am East Coast, USA. Usually play in the evenings. I’m a bit of a night owl so I stay up late. It’s 11:30PM here right now.

In game: Mayhencania

Gate of Madness

Been standing in Lion’s Arch for days lol

I’ll see what I can do but it won’t be today. I’m at work. You might get hit with more help than you need before I get on

No worries, nothing expected. Not even sure what I, or the OP for that matter, need help with so I’m just running around dippin’ mah toes in stuff.

Anybody who gets a kick out of shooting these moa birds in the face, let’s go. lol

I hear you loud and clear, mostly because I find myself in the same exact boat.

I actually did spend some RL moolah to see what I could figure out and…well…I have more inventory bags and a new slot for another bag….and I leveled up Leatherworking and Huntsman to about 200 each.

…now what? Keep doing that? For what? All the new things I can now make are above my level. Plus, the icing on that cake is, what it takes to make them costs a lot more then what I can sell them for.

So….should I just go back out and kill things?

I don’t know because, like you, the original appeal seems to be waning. I want to like this and long ago I was a casual WOW player that only got to about level 75 or so before a job took over my time. Now, I own a business and can do as I please but…this game so far (bought it about a week ago) is feeling a little..I don’t know, aimless and lonely I guess?

I’m playing on Gates of Madness server in NA. Made a pretty little Ranger Chick and so far got her up to level 41. I also spent the last two days looking for some gold making things to do…

Spent 20 gold on buy orders for about 250 different low level blue weapons and armor at 1 silver each. I set it to buy 15 of each one I found in the TP with other buyers under 1 silver. Hope that made sense. Essentially, I tried to buy at 1 silver for each item and intended to salvage everything I got to then sell the materials for a profit.

Long story short, I just spent a ton of time salvaging a few hundred weapons and armor and literally broke even on what I spent to buy them. lol Almost exactly.

Not sure what I am doing wrong but gathering, crafting, buying and selling is definitely not seeming to be a good time.

Anyway, not trying to hijack your thread but I can tell you for sure, you’re not alone at all. I’m right there with you and wondering how to give this game a fighting chance to be more fun to play.

I know I am a casual player and always will be. I have zero interest in being the best. I also have zero interest in some elitist telling me I’m trash at the game if I go and try to find a dungeon to see what else is out there. I have no expectation of being instantly fantastic at any of this and anyone who was born with the knowledge required to be a Guild Wars 2 god…well, hooray for you kitten while I shoot that bird in the face for no reason. lol

I’d like to play and have some fun doing it but haven’t found that yet. Maybe we could meet up and be failures together? Perhaps? Anybody out there?
