Guild Wars 2

Hey all, I haven’t played in over a year. I had a max level of every profession before I left. The reason I left is that End Game felt weak. As much as games like WoW can be awful, I did enjoy feeling that End Game was constant, and massive with plenty to work towards for casual, and intense players. So I’m currently re-downloading the core game on my PC. Been missing the whole MMORPG thing. So my question is if I should spend some cash and buy Heart of Thorns. How is the end game? Is it worth it? Has it improved since I left over a year ago? Am I wasting my time, and potentially $50?

Hey, thanks for reading this. I’ve been more into leveling then end game, but I’ve run out of professions to level. I’m looking to get into end game. I have over 5k achievement points. A level 80 of each class all with at least complete exotic gear. Some Zerker builds, some tanky. I’m interested in doing Dungeons, and Fractals mostly. I do like PVP, and would like to do some more PVP, and WvW, but that’s secondary. So I guess I’d like to find a casual guild that I could do all that with.

A couple things that are deal breakers for me.
1. No super strict schedules. I work in the healthcare field and I’m always on call. I can’t be married to the game.
2. No super strict rules about conduct, language, etc. I’m not a madman who will be dropping F-bombs non stop, but I’ve been in a few guilds before in other games that had whole families including children on vent/TS. You couldn’t even say “S**t” without getting pulled aside by an officer. I’m too old for Hyper PC BS.
3. Must be a [NA] based English speaking guild.

Well, that’s everything. Thanks for your consideration.

EDIT: I’m currently located on The Darkhaven Server.

I really want some feedback, and opinions here. I want to know if people feel the same way I do about how unappealing the Gem Store is.

If I’m going to spend real world cash that I had to work my butt off for, then I’d like something worth buying. I put aside lots of money for gaming. I’ve literally spent thousands on “Free” to play games. Champion skins for LOL, and Premium tanks in WOT, etc… Now here I am in GW2, and I’m looking to support ANET. I honestly feel that this is the best MMO going right now. I want to support them, and keep this thing going. The gem store sadly has little to nothing to offer.

$10 armor, and weapon skins that are one time use? Who needs em? Almost everything in the store is one time use or expires. I want permanent account upgrades, and items. Yeah, I bought bank tabs, and character slots, but now what? I got excited when I saw the Watchwork mining pick. I couldn’t wait to equip my characters with that. Then I saw that you couldn’t just “withdraw” it for each character. You had to either switch it over to each character when you log or buy like $100 worth of them for all your characters. It’s easier just to use the 4 silver ones. Why spend money on garbage like this?

Please Arena Net, consider re working the Gem Store, so it’s worth spending some money. I am willing to throw a ton of cash at this game, once there’s something to buy. The basic ore node is a cool idea. I’d like to see more stuff like that. Home instance upgrades, or maybe even an entire new home instance that you can buy, and upgrade. I’d gladly buy a Pick, Axe, and Sickle that was designed to be withdrawn from a special items tab on each character. I’d purchase tons of armor, and weapon skins if they could be withdrawn the same way. Remote bank, and trading post access on a permanent basis would definitely get me spending money.

I’m sitting here, with cash in hand just waiting for a reason to spend it. Anyone feel the same way?
