Guild Wars 2

I’m fairly new to GW2, only been playing for little over a month but I have noticed a lot of the points you made. I too played WoW, I played it from launch to Cata; I bailed on it right before MOP mainly because the content was gradually getting worse and lvling up in WoW was a drag but GW2 I actually really enjoy lvling.

I feel the AH system is a lot better than WoW’s, there is almost always what you need on there and everything sells pretty quickly and you don’t end up with one person getting a monopoly on an item and charging ridiculous amounts for it. I saw someone comment about being able to sell legendarys, I agree that shouldn’t be sellable; legendarys should require a quest line like Thunderfury did in vanilla.

I haven’t had the mailing problem you mentioned yet but I do hate that you can’t directly trade with someone. And no inspecting gear was a disappointment too, and I haven’t even seen a spot where it tells what class they are, as a new player I haven’t got to the point of recognizing classes by their looks in high lvl gear, I would like to be able to say to myself “Hey they’re same class as me and are geared, I’ll just look at their gear to get an idea of what direction I should go in geming and gear stats.” It would also be nice to just be able to preview someone else’s gear on yourself without them linking every piece.

The diplomacy thing you mentioned about WvW sounds like a good idea but how would they do it? A voting system might generate the problem you mentioned about dialog box popping up you have to close, it would really suck to have something pop up blocking your screen while in a fight. I guess there could be a NPC that is activated once one team gets lets say 70% of the pie chart that gives players the option to join forces with the other team that isn’t doing so well and those players that choose to do so can’t attack the team they allied with and can’t be attacked by those on the allied team.

I haven’t completed my story lines yet so I can’t really give much on this yet but your ideas on it sound interesting and very well thought out. I believe those changes would improve it if they worked out.

The one shot in the dungeons you mentioned I’m by no means a stranger to, in the lvl 60 instance the next to last boss’s second golem would one shot me over and over again, it got to the point where when the boss himself came out that was a resting period where we could pick up our down players and heal up. I believe the boss should be tougher than his/her adds. In that particular instance I believe the golems should be slightly weakened and the actual boss buffed.

The big boss events like the dragons is what made me want to play GW2. I saw a youtube video of a group fighting the ice dragon. The dragon you showed looked awesome but you’re right it should move around and harder to beat.

The lack of lfg was the first issue I noticed and was extremely disappointed. There are no servers that the populace speaks my mother tongue so even asking for a group in /map can be a bit awkward and takes a long time.

As far as bugs go I haven’t seen much at all, I guess I’ve just been lucky so far. The only “bug” I’ve noticed would be in the AH occasionally it will get an error when trying to post a sell but I just count to 10 and try again and it works.
