First of all I noticed how it says “User was infracted for this post” at your post, so I googled what it means exactely.
Apparently it means a mod has decided this post had broken forum policies. All I see is healthy critisism; OP even says it’s his personal opinion and he still plays the game. It feels wrong to see this thread beeing treated as something bannable, something that isn’t allowed here. These are the general forums, I believe this is a nice medium to discuss all the different aspects of the game and the player’s opinion. Apparently if they aren’t kissing Anet’s kitten , they should not have a place here. This shouldn’t be happening and personally I find it very unprofessional.
OT I agree with OP on most parts.
Once you realize every zone is pretty much build on the same gimmick, it’s hard to get immersed. Character dialogue is bland; every text feels like a copy paste but with two words changed to fit the map I am on. Then again I believe MMO’s aren’t the best type of game to look for immersion, especially not GW2 wich is heavily focused on zergfests. The last time I was immersed by an MMO was WoW in his early days. But alas, those are long past.
I won’t lie, every time I come back every now and then (mostly every half year) to see what’s new, I enjoy going to Orr or SW (or whatever is THE MAP of the moment) and get in to some action. I also like how they handled crafting, but I still find it unacceptable I can’t deposit my frikkin’ balls of dough – and I’m not buying any reason or excuse they gave about this issue. Other then that the combat is nice and it’s intresting to have a funny or enthousiastic commander, both for big PvE or PvP events. But because you realize it’s the same events over and over again, the same paths, the same mobs, it grows stale pretty fast.
I will always have a love-hate relationship with this game. There are many features I like and I believe they do it better then any MMO out there, but there is too much annoyance and too many QoL they don’t bother to implement that the community has been asking for within reason. I will continue to see what changes; I often read forums or the reddit even when I haven’t played in months. We’ll see what’s next.
