Guild Wars 2

Kelvingts.2035:

Skins alone cannot keep most of us playing the game for longer and longer. Maybe they did it a little early but I appreciate new content when it comes.
For those who don’t like a new ceiling most of them will complain but few will leave for that reason. It was a smart move to make them, Just not a smart time to release them.

You only come back for bigger numbers? It is possible to release new content without increasing stats. I got this game to you know, play it, not for numbers.

This is very sad.

I would never have bought this game if I thought they would start escalating stats on gear. They specifically told us they wouldn’t, something that appears to me significantly like false advertising.

A large part of why this bothers me is it puts a time limit on the usefulness of gear. This makes me feel obligated to the play the game in order to be able to play the newest content when it’s released and have the current best all the time. As it was there was little to no urgency to acquire anything and I could play whenever I wanted.

However when you start adding gear grinds like this by the time I have the appropriate items to do anything the entire thing will be trivialized by higher end items.

Additionally, it adds no incentive for any sort of creativity or difficulty escalation in fights a lot of what I saw in WoW when I played oh so long ago was new fights were old fights (don’t stand in the sauce) with bigger numbers and different colors. While not necessary it seems to end up that way.

Other than that, why would I have bought this game if I wanted to play every single other MMORPG? The combat sure, but that’s hardly enough.

I liked you Anet.

Why change this game when there are so many MMO’s out there with what you want?
