As a true GW fan I am greatly disappointed. I have played GW1 from the start and had never played a game that has been much fun as that before.
For years and years I played Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North. I met a girl in GW1 and we have now been together for over 4 years, are engaged and have two beautiful kids together, I have also met my two best friends in GW1. And for these great things I thank you.
I have waited for GW2 in anticipation for over 5 years. I even bought a new PC last September because my old one would not run the game.
When I started playing it at first I was not sure I was going to like it, but because GW1 was so great, the 2 novels such a pleasure to read and due to all the great things I was reading prior to launch about all the great new things it would add to the world of MMORP I kept playing it.
Eventually I was starting to understand all the new systems and let go of my old GW1 play style and really started to enjoy this fresh new game. But I have to say that after getting most of my characters to lvl 80 with exotic gear, that I am greatly disappointed, it feels like most RPG’s even though you said it would not be like others.
I find it is getting boring, dull and overrated with too much of the same things day in day out. The same events, the same few maps and the same dungeons. The Daily’s where a nice surprise when launched at first, but that’s wearing off now.
I also heard there will be no Add-ons or Expansions like in GW1 (factions NF and EotN). Why not? Are you going to give us more updates instead? I hope not because your updates are destroying the game. With every update you implement something new, something new that adds very little to an already mediocre MMORPG, and to top it off, these updates break more then they fix!
I am strongly considering removing GW2 from my machine and purchasing a different game. I did not play WoW much because I did not agree with paying subscriptions for a game that I already purchased at a retailer. But seeing how this game is going I am reconsidering. When you pay a subscription for a game it means developers and/or publishers will have more funds for maintaining the Servers the games run on, and more funds for updates, fixes, and perhaps add-ons or expansions
I would even consider paying a subscription to you Arenanet, if you were able to promise to me that would you make the game better, and fix your patches and updates before your push them on to us and not just for us to find out what you broke this time
Consider this a letter from a very displeased Fan/customer/Consumer
Adriaan.
Thanks for the tip.
