Guild Wars 2

Unfortunately, they went in another direction. One more pivotal feature of GW1 that never made the transition.

Ele elites are pretty terrible indeed, I’d rather have that slot for a utility.

What’s done is done they decided to go in a different direction than GW1 and made this game largely about stat chasing (level 80 cap at launch and gear treadmill after that). Yes, you can romp around PvE in random greens but you’re going to get steamrolled in WvWvW. Add how difficult it is to make gold(not being filthy rich mind you) without hammering away at dungeons, playing TP tycoon or straight up RMTing. If you PvE free roam or mainly WvWvW then have fun getting a few exo sets for different builds on a couple chars and I mean exo everything.

No, I don’t find this to be alt friendly as I’m constantly switching between characters and stat chasing for all of them gets old. It’s not innovative and I’ve even ended up losing interest in games that do it way better.
