Hi. My name is Rinsam, and I have played for about 8 months.
I dislike this change to dailies. For one, I have no reason to even bother completing the daily, as the only reason I did so previously was to get laurels so I could purchase phat lewts. With this change, I simply have to log in and I get laurel, which is easy enough, as I work on a 12 hour shift and when I am working (I get 1 week off per month), I don’t have a whole lot of time to play because I’m either sleeping, working, or performing something that is biologically necessary.
Because I no longer have to do dailies, I can limit my time playing this game further. Will my WvW guild suffer? To be sure, but it would appear as though Anet cares little for WvW anyway, so it’s no big deal. Would my PvE guild suffer? No, because I play on a small server, and the two PvE guilds I am in have a mostly dead roster anyway, because all of the other players have moved on to other games.
I sincerely wish and hope that this company can pull their heads out of their kitten. I disliked the change to the trait system, so I bought gems in order to afford the traits I wanted/needed for my characters. But now I have no reason to play other than on reset nights and whenever my WvW guild manages to find enough bodies to form a semi-pathetic zerg. This game has a lot of potential, and I realize I am getting off topic here, but I’ve been playing this game 8 months now and I feel like it’s a totally different game than what I paid for.
Please, pull your heads out of your kitten, kick the good idea fairy out the window, and come up with better ideas than this. Otherwise, the only times you’ll see me is push nights and once a day to get my laurel.
