Honestly, this is the first time that for some reason I felt invested in the outcome of a storyline.
The result wasn’t linear. I felt I actually played a role in branching the story line one way or another.
kitten ed that it didn’t go my way, but at least I feel invested.
I’d like to see this sort of branching done more often.
When the game launched, there were 5 major currencies:
As of now, the amount of currencies has nearly doubled with the addition of:
I did not include Influence and Merits in this because those are earned on a per guild rather than per person basis. I also did not include sPvP currencies.
At launch, players could effectively earn the majority of the currencies with a playstyle that included 1 or 2 of the major game systems (open world PvE, WvW, Dungeons).
The consequence of all these currencies is that they all now have exclusive rewards.
So, as of right now, I must do the following to gear 1 character:
God help you if you prefer playing WvW…
Oh, and by the way, I have 8 characters…
I humbly submit that you do not add any more currencies. You are not extending the goal post anymore; you are adding multiple goal posts in every kitten direction. As soon as I run one way, there’s a goal post in a COMPLETELY different direction. I consider myself “hardcore”, but this is getting extremely tiring.
To be clear, I am NOT saying that you should not add more content.
What I’d like is for rewards for new content to be tied to existing currencies.
I suggest that you:
Add all ascended gear types to
And for the sake of Lyssa, use NEW SKINS AS INCENTIVES INSTEAD OF STATISTICAL INCREASES. I can tell you right now those using medium armor classes really could use some options.
Skins and titles are what kept people playing in GW1; new long term goal posts every month are what’s driving wedges in the game now.

800 hours of game play and I just recently beat my story. I haven’t even got into wvw yet either.. which is why i bought the game to begin with… how do people go through the game so fast? and now there are laurels and that new content stuff coming out. guild events and whatnot.. I still dont have the exact armor or dyes that i want or the weapons-this is all endgame stuff right?
There’s plenty to do. There is just not plenty to do for every single type of player, especially purists who either find no joy in any other game mode/play style or find no desire to change their habits.
The game’s not perfect, but I find it quite funny when a thread says there is nothing to do and then others say they don’t want to do WvW, dailies, monthlies, dungeons, exploration, craft/gathering, TP bartering, PvP, or just make their own events with their guild.
The game is not going to have fun for you.
