Tankgeneer works phenomenally, either healing or power variation depending on what you need
It will be a refreshing change for you until you join the majority of people who get bored and trickle off, it will just take more time
Different is not always good. “The end game starts at level 1”, see how they are linked? Even beyond that, at hitting 80 you replace all of your gear with a few shallow tiers of gear (For example in crafting there is the yellow 80 only version of the gear you buy patterns for with karma and then the 80 exotic which does have better stats.) Do you see the trend that just falls off suddenly?
There IS loot/gear progression in this game, though it is all about aesthetics rather than building stats. The problem is a lot of people are on a power trip in these games and if they don’t become more and more powerful, they aren’t happy.
We knew that GW2 wasn’t going to follow other MMOs in the way end game works, it just amazes me that people want to change this game into a carbon copy of all the other games that are available.
If people want that type of loot progression, then there are LOTS of other games for that. I like the fact that this game is a bit more laid back than others and that I don’t have to be constantly attached to my PC to keep up with the gear curve.
The issue with this is that there was stat progression on items from 1-80, then at 80 there was more stat progression. If they really wanted static end game why even add stats to armor and not just give everyone base line stats and points to level up attributes?
As someone who has completed the majority of the content in game so far I have to ask, what is the purpose for me to continue playing? I understand the reason why they don’t want to just keep adding items with inflated stats but without that why should I continue to return to any dungeon over and over. After I see it once I can say I have done it but the reality is once I have gotten my character to look the way I want it to I will never return to any dungeon.
I currently have all of the 42k karma gear which to my knowledge is the best possible stat gear I could have, so am I basically done? I want to continue making my character better but I have no options and I think as the people who did not have as much time as I did start to get to the point I am at right now they will be just as bored as I am. I am ok with another way to progress, such as the thousands of skills in GW1 to unlock, but without a way to continue to improve your character I see the vast majority of players losing interest in the game as I sadly am right now.
