I have played heaps of MMO’s before and have started to get sick of the game model. The thing I love about this game (that I only realised last night) is that after coming back from my 5 month break and going back to my 41 Mesmer I didn’t have to make money, craft, raid, group up etc. I wasn’t forced to do anything, I could PvP, WvW, quest, whatever the kitten I wanted to do. This is the first ever “MMO” I have played that feels like this, and I have fallen in love with the game all over again for a different reason.
Who cares if people leave, they can come back whenever they want and do whatever content they want when they get here. It’s absolutely amazing.
