Guild Wars 2

Having played GW2 for well over 6,400 hours and leveling 5 toons to lvl 80 of which 3 of the 5 have 100% map completion; the recent changes to the dailies have me quite miffed. Having spent hundreds in RL dollars to support Anet and their staff thru Gem Store items I find myself wishing I hadn’t. As an example the gathering daily I kept a toon parked at a WP next to my home instance for nodes to mine/chop there. Now they are basically useless as you now have to go to a certain area to accomplish that. I liked the ability to get events done in the area I was in rather than having to WP to another area and wait up to 2 hours for a boss (on a timer) for a PvE daily to be done. Every day of the 12 things you can do 8 of them are related to WvW/PvP so unless you are on one of the better servers they are 9 out of 10 times going to be a no go. Even trying something simple like killing a Dolyak you might find yourself being run over by a zerg of 10 to 20 people on some of the servers. Most players play games to relax after a day of work to play a game that doesn’t direct them to do something in such a specific way, for that we have jobs in RL. While it is Anets property and they most assuredly can do whatever they want it would be nice if players had input into possible proposed changes to the game. They have become way too specific in their scope! WvW on the Thief you don’t have…omg. Would be nice to see companies actually take input on proposed changes to the game they originally brought and played. I played WoW for 7 1/2 years ( NOT a F2P game) and left when they began instituting changes that were against players likes and lost a good number of people. IMO if Anet follows their same course the ship will sink. Companies depend on people, esp in a F2P game, to help support them financially. I tried to do that but given it’s current wayward course I don’t see myself buying/playing another NCSoft/Anet game.
Again this is only my opinion some will agree and some will disagree. Those that like such changes good for you those that don’t know how I feel. Hope you all enjoy your days and game.

Having played GW2 since launch I truly enjoyed the game. However the recently instituted system of dailies has me disliking the game. I used to enjoy being able to get them done while playing the game. Now being forced to a certain area to mine/chop/gather is absurd. Being forced to do a boss (on a timer) in a specific area and having to wait 2 hours to do it is just plain stupid. I tried to support Anet by purchasing Gems from the store (hundreds in RL money). Given the direction the game has taken I am most assuredly done giving money to a company that is instituting changes whereby a person MUST play a specific way. Games are supposed to be a way to relax and enjoy time with friends in a fantasy world but when that world becomes a nightmare one can just deal with lifes real problems if its a nightmare experience they want. While I realize not all people disagree with Ants change, having played for well over 6,400 hours and spending several hundred dollars trying to support Anets staff I am very close to finding another means of relaxation. IMO this was a horrendous thing to do. I played WoW 7 1/2 years and left a lot of money and max leveled/best geared toons behind when the changes made to the game were one persons decision and not based on the players who spent millions on Blizzards game. Such changes being made by whomever at Anet are making me consider the time is approaching for GW2. As it stands I will probably never buy/play another NCSoft /Anet game. Just my opinion and we all know what they are compared to. One would think Anet would try to get player input on changes they are considering rather than institute those which can drive players from the game causing the company to lose further revenue now and in the future.
