Guild Wars 2

World A has 400 players in WvW
World B has 2000 players that want to go into WvW
World C has 1500 players that want in as well
But only the first 400 from each server can enter and the rest have to que until World A has more players trying to get in, I mean are you guys at NC kittened or just incapable of writing a script that could do what I listed and make the game play a bit better? Or would it be too much to ask for free transfers to all servers so that your customer base can at least get on a server that has a single hope in hell of having an enjoyable experience in WvW? Again NC is full of kittens!!!

My last rant, NC states that this game has no end game, it is all end game. Well only the first half of that statement is true, there is NO END GAME!! So NC tell me why, after leveling to 80 and playing all the “end game” up to that point would I want to continue doing the same kitten thing over and over again? If you are going to have a game that has absolutely no end game content then why have a level cap? Why can I not hit level 1000 and have the hit points and stats that go with it? Why would I want to farm for months on end to get Ascended gear and a legendary weapon so that my conditions land for a very impressive 10 extra points of damage as compared to crafted gear exotics? Ohh, that’s right I get a better skin that I can marvel at for hours while I stand in Lion’s Arch doing exactly nothing, sort of like what I am offered to do in this game.

The saddest part is that I started to play this game with a large group of friends that talked me into trying it out and all of them have left long ago because they saw that there was nothing to do long before I did. Yeah I have seen the new game NC is putting into beta “Wildstar” and although it looks like it will be fun to play, I will not invest my time or money to play it, as everyone knows you will kitten it up too. If NC were to have released WOW in it’s vanilla creation it would have died before the first expansion, because all NC knows how to do is take great ideas and kitten them up horribly.

Before someone warns me of language, just relax I do not give one single kitten if I get a ban or account deletion, I just simply do not plan to play anymore, this game sucks kitten and NC should get out of the MMO market since the only thing they are good at is kittening up games and making customers unhappy.

Someone said that the easiest way to kill your product is to not promote it, but I ask what is there to promote with a crap game? I have had this game for over two years now and at first on the way to level 80 I was really liking the game, that was for the first 3 or 4 months, now what the hell is there to do in this crap game?

Yeah I could farm for days on end to get a few pieces to make a slightly better piece of armor or weapon, then spend days on end transmuting those mats so that I can make one upgrade that took me two months to complete, WOW what fun that is!!! Or I could spend my time on a low pop server (Devonas Rest) getting the beat down put on me all night long in WvW or I could go play some horribly unbalanced PvP (yeah they are fixing that supposedly tomorrow only after taking two years to pull head out of backside and fixing a huge problem). Or I could stay logged in and wait for world events to spawn and pray that enough people will show up so that we can complete them and then sit around for another half hour or more for the next one to start.

Basically like tonight I log in for maybe 30 minutes, get bored log out and surf the web for a good game to play. I like challenges and this game offers absolutely no challenge at all, I could play Wizards 101 (same game as here just done a lot better and offers what is missing, a challenge).

Then we can take a look at the economy, or the non existence of one in the game would be a much more accurate way of putting it. So at best I can farm for say 4 hours and make maybe 100 gold if I am lucky and have enough luck to get a few drops or to even have mobs that all drop some form of loot (vendor trash, cloth, equipment, etc…) but if I kill 7 NPC’s I will be rewarded with one body that I can loot or most likely none. Then we also have the extremely poor amount of gold or silver you can get from doing dungeons that offer nothing to the player other than a skin that looks way better then the skins on the equipment that I crafted and farmed for days on end to craft just to get something that looks extremely horrible at best.

Why not take notes from MMO’s that do it right, give me some daily quests I can complete for real currency so that I can actually use the TP to buy something I need without having to spend 6 months farming the gold, then buy an upgrade which you will release something better or more cost effective shortly after I complete the farm and wish I would have not farmed at all because I could have gotten something better for less if I had waited. But maybe that is what NC wants, maybe they feel that logging in to wait around doing nothing all night long is enjoyable for some folks, not me.

Although right now I am doing just what NC wants I am wasting my time writing a post that will get absolutly no attention from the DEV’s just like the case was when NC released Aion (an incredible game BTW, ruined by DEV’s that have no clue what they are doing or how to run a game, they just know how to ruin games). In Aion the main problem was that the DEV’s would not listen to the community that was begging and pleading with them to lock Elyos creation when 14 of 15 servers were outnumbered 100 to 1 (Elyos : Asmodian) and the entire game was based on PvPvE. When in the eleventh hour the DEV’s managed to remove head from backside and allowed free transfers for everyone, all the Asmodian players (like myself) tried to transfer to the ONLY Asmodian dominate server, they blocked all transfers, did nothing to help out the balance issues and let the game die and become free to play (which I hear is far better handled than when NC had it). I will give credit where it is due, at least here they got smart enough to realize that no one wants to farm dungeons where the boss is not a guaranteed loot (in Aion you could get to any boss in any dungeon and you WERE NOT guaranteed that the boss would drop anything, not even vendor trash), so you would be forced to farm for days or weeks to get one drop that usually was of little benefit to you when you finally got it (sound familiar).

Since I mentioned the unbalance of Aion, yeah I am going there in GW2 as well. Awesome, so when I go into WvW and am outnumbered 50 : 1 as is the case with my server most of the time, I get rewarded with free repairs when I go see the repair guy like 4 or 5 times an hour, kitten what fun that is too. I can see why so many love this game, what could be more enjoyable than visiting the repair vendor 4 or 5 times an hour while my server is horribly outnumbered. Again why not yank that head out of the back side, see some daylight for once in your life and maybe lock WvW so that each side (meaning all three servers) can only allow so many in at a time. Maybe something like this,

I would love to see some solo options for dungeons. I have been playing the game now (off and on) for close to two years. I have completed Arah story and AC story modes, 4 fractals and killed most of the world bosses repeatedly. Of the aforementioned, the world bosses are the only things in game that are easily done for a casual player, I have started many of the dungeons multiple times where I was not able to kill the first boss (multi-wipe) before the PuG breaks apart, I have a repair bill and about 2 or 3 hours of disappointing game time. Solo would allow me to have time to fully explore a dungeon without holding anyone back that just wants to see the last boss and leave, time to come up with my own strategies and plans and time to learn the dungeon so that when I am in group I would be a much more valuable asset to the team as a whole.
Also I would be more inclined to make purchases from the store if I actually played the game more, with map completion over 90%, and that being the main basis for game play, What do I do when I hit 100%? Most likely the same thing many others have already done, quit logging in!!!

I know someone along the way here will recommend joining a guild and that is good advice, as I have been in several guilds. Only thing is that I am a casual player and will log in for two or three nights in a row and then not again for two weeks. Not many guilds like to keep players like that in their roster. And that makes sense, why have me around taking a spot when you can have someone that is more active, so I do not blame them for that. I did the same thing some years ago when I played another MMO.
