Guild Wars 2

I have been playing games for over 20 years, some were just text based but they were still fun at the time. I have played EQ, EQ2, Vanguard, Anarchy, Rift and a few others. All i hear on their forums is how PvP sucks and how good PvE is compared to each other. I don’t do PvP probably because it wasn’t as good. I really don’t care for it but i know there are those who do. The whole point is that its hard to please everyone all of the time. PvE and PVP each have a set of behaviors that is built into the game. Part of the game is how to best use those behaviors to set yourself above the others. If you can’t do that, there is no reason to cry to the rest of us, just change how you do things.
I can’t say i like the crafting system or for that matter the short termed buffs we get. I much preferred the 4 or 5 hour long buffs of EQ, but we don’t have them and it is more of a challenge to work with what we have rather than complain all the time. It is more rewarding to me to finally figure out how to kill the enemy faster and easier using what i have.
Is this game dying? No, there are still full servers and lots of people doing PvE. If you are tired of PvP try PvE. Got all your crafting maxed out? It is nice and personally rewarding to be able to make your own gear. There are options! They may not appeal to everyone but they are there!
The game is not dying!

I don’t have any problem with the speed we have, except with characters that don’t have any at all. I would rather see the effort put into some kind of equalization in ranged targeting where when the enemy shoots with an arrow we can at least fire back without being out of range all the time.

I recently joined another guild and am experiencing similar problems, It would be very nice to be able to have a way to select different colors for each guild. In other games where we only were allowed 1 guild at a time, i had it set up to where i had a different color for the guild leader, the officers and the rest of us.
It is too hard with all that’s going on to check who is talking.
