Guild Wars 2

ExDead.3945:

one grind i do wish they would implement is factions. i think taking sides in a zone would make you feel more invested in what’s going on instead of just looking for an orange icon to go blow up

The idea of taking sides is interesting (tho there is WvWvW) I pray they never do rep grinds. It’s quite tedious and one of the reasons I stopped playing til this came out. Plus it’s more a way to keep people putting in hours and paying a monthly subscription which is, thankfully, unnecessary here.

Anyway… I do apologize if I urked anyone referring to WoW but it is the only other game I’ve played so it’s the reference I have.

This is really only meant as a theory on things I’ve heard from other players but I think it can be agreed on some level that this game has it’s own style, it’s own pace, and point of view and is, maybe, best enjoyed when you come into to it with that in mind.

But you’re right. It’s just my opinion and that’s all it really was meant to be.

That’s just like your opinion man.

Of course it is. I hoping I didn’t come across like I was trying to pass a new law or something.

I was chatting with someone the other day and they had brought 15 guildies from WoW over to GW2 but many had already left because there is no raiding. Tho I disagree with this thinking, I can certainly understand it.

I only really played WoW for, maybe, a year and then some. It was long enough to max out characters of every roll and to do quite a bit of raiding with all of them. While raids can be fun I had come to a point when I realized the game wasn’t fun anymore. It was a numbers game, not an adventure.

So if you come into GW2 with a WoW outlook, it can be an adjustment. You’re used to power leveling thru repetitive and often empty, old content to get to the “fun”. You can’t look at this game that way. It actually is fun and full from lvl 1. I’ve only been playing a few weeks but still haven’t maxed my main and am in no hurry to do so.

If I had any advice for people who are used to WoW it would be to forget about power leveling and try and remember that getting there really is half the fun.
