The problem is right there in front of you. You approached the game like this -> “Right what’s the fastest way to get the best of everything and level to 80 with the least effort possible” That will make EVERY game boring. I’ve been playing since launch and it never gets dull or boring but that’s because you have to enjoy the lore and EVERY detail of the beautiful world.

The problem with most players is they only care about beating a game and getting the best stuff as instantly as possible.

Maybe if they made levelling slower I’d have a reason to do that.

Unlikely because the gamer culture still dictates that someone, somewhere, would try to find the quickest and easiest way to reach top level.
Then those that follow said way would still get bored quickly and not enjoy the game on the idea that end game shouldn’t matter here.

Vanilla and BC WoW took MONTHS to level, even an experienced powerleveller would take about 2 months to hit the max level. And even with this incredibly long levelling time, it was still the most successful MMORPG ever. Pacing is an incredibly important aspect to making an MMORPG successful.

0/10 to the OP, complaining on how the game is exactly like how it was marketed.

They marketed as fun, experience shows quite a different story. Especially since I have a bunch of people confirming this.

Nope. Here’s a few reasons why:
-Nothing new for Personal Story, I guess the dragons are just chillin’.

So it’s Game of Thrones MMO now?

To answer;

Not really (At least for me). The temporary nature of the mass of the content means that yes, whilst content has been added, the bulk just.. Goes away. There’s the dubiously implemented Ascended gear, which is dubiously implemented no doubt. There’s lots of zerging content in fact there really is hardly any content that isn’t zerging content. Apparently we’re getting a big content patch in March, however what the actual contents are is kinda up in the air. Also there’s a WvW season 2 coming soon, or w/e new name they gave it.

I find I can’t really motivate myself to log in, I guess. But that’s just me.

I feel like I’ve learned a lot from this thread and I want to thank everyone who gave me an insight into the game. I’ll try to ask again in March, when this big content release is supposed to happen.

How about we have now ascended gear you have to grind for weeks for tiny stat boosts.

PvE is more or less the same with some more zerg.

PvP is the same old same old.

So, the game’s PvE is still nonexistant, and the PvP still unbalanced?

We have two giant zerg raids in the open world, which probably equals ANets idea of endgame (rolleyes) and bi-weekly updates for what ANet thinks is a story (can’t roll my eyes that fast).

PvP is the same old just with more warrior.

I think I’d rather tear my toenails out than to be forced to play this game, how do you manage?

By having fun. That’s what some of us do. It’s quite clear, to me anyway, that fun is different for different people. You don’t find this game fun, and I don’t find World of Warcrap fun.

That’s sort of what makes the world go round.

I don’t find CURRENT wow fun at all, and nobody should.

I WAS playing with friends at the time. Grinding didn’t burn me out of it, the issue was the horribly unbalanced EVERYTHING. For example, in WoW, I could go do a succession of dungeons into better gear to eventually raid. In GW2 I do the current dungeon 30 times to get a single piece of gear that is a marginally better upgrade from the one I already had. As an elementalist, I was also really kittened off that a thief spamming heartseeker could out-DPS all my combos in PvP. On top of that, there are NO rewards for PvP at all. Level 1s were boosted to 80, there’s no upgrades to strive for, there were no ranks to get, ETC.

I bought GW2 on release, grinded to 80, and tried out the endgame. And while the levelling was fun, the game featured no endgame PvE, exotic gear that you have to grind for hours for tiny stat boosts, and a completely broken dungeon system. The PvP itself was so unbalanced as to not be any fun, along with no gear to be earned in structured PvP whatsoever. Have they added ANYTHING worth hitting level 80 in the year and a half?
