Just sad I got my spouse to pay for this game last week because I told him it was different than WoW.
Bam next thing I know the worst part of WoW right in… gear grinding.
Best of luck to you all will try to use the time better on real life, I will never spend time grinding in a dungeon again, life is too short.
GW1 sounded like a great community, sorry I missed it and had been really enjoying this game and the for “the fun of it” concept from the original design of GW1.
Don’t think it’s possible to add just a little bit of gear grind to dungeons, it’s cancerous once you go down the path and the whole game starts to revolve around it down to even gear checks in forums eventually.
And to whoever the people are on the GW team that fought this, thanks for the fun., appreciated.
And now for the reply to the famous paragraph
Quote: "… we have found that our most dedicated players were achieving their set of Exotic gear and hitting “the Legendary wall.” We designed the process of getting Legendary gear to be a long term goal, but players were ready to start on that path much sooner than we expected and were becoming frustrated … " – Linsey Murdock
Really – you want to orient this game around the 1% who can run obsessively dungeons that fast cruise from game to game and rarely come back anyway vs. your loyal player base? By the way that same group says the same thing about every MMO with dungeons. How about concentrating on adding original content the majority of your loyal player base will enjoy (and you can possibly monetize because eventually you are going to need that again) instead of destroying the majority of dungeons for them and putting them on a gear grind? Yes, you just obsoleted all your old dungeon content because it won’t give the highest gear – we’ve all seen how this happened in other MMO’s. Plus you kill your pipeline for new players who cannot possibly catch up eventually to the current gear level and fall further and further behind.
Please try again. If we wanted this we would and can return to Wow. Most of us are here because we don’t want or need a gear grind. We want to have fun. We are not that 1% and we never will be.
I am from WoW. The only MMO I knew was WoW before Eve Online. Gear grind was one of the reasons I left WoW. I was so thrilled when I came here I thought “omg the GW designers are so superior they totally understand!”
I don’t think anyone should assume that because someone comes from WoW they want or like gear grind and are part of the “divide”. It’s seems like it’s at least 10 to 1 people not wanting a gear grind here, it’s not split like the election, it’s a landslide.
I’m just amazed at how few real let’s grind for gear progression players there are, maybe they hated all those wonderful old dungeons being empty too, and new players being left too far behind the grind eventually and they could never really bring new friends in, and all the fights fights fights over gear and all the elitist comments in the forum from the tiny vocal players who had ridiculous gear and then ruined world PvP with it too.
ArenaNet’s managers need to understand they have better designers than post vanilla WoW and copying WoW is not going to make GW2 better, it will just make players angry. Have some faith in your designers.
If we need a “progression” for elites how about time to for a group to finish dungeun first race and reward for those guild, anything but gear please. You are designers ArenaNet have some pride please and design your way out instead of copying a horrible mechanic from WoW that eventually lost it subscriptions.
People eventually couldn’t even comment on the forums without gear check to decide whether it was ok if they could have an opinion.
Please try again and really do your own design this time. You don’t need to copy inferior failed design mechanics to be on your own tread mill cycle of pleasing a fickle few.
Your team can probably come up with something better (not perfect) in 5minutes if you let them.
