Guild Wars 2

Sorry but I never even bothered ONCE with the Vistas(I hate platforming), only took waypoints that I needed, and the Points of Interests that I got were all on accident as I was just passing through.

What you need to do is to actually play the game not like most MMOs which I find that a lot of people complaining about GW2 is what they’re doing. They’re grinding in this game which is like in any other game boring. Grinding anything in an MMO is boring period.

Here’s what you do: You do a zone that’s your level range, just do the hearts and if you run into any events along the way awesome and if not no biggie. Just make sure you do a many of the hearts that you find fun. Then once you finish with that go to another map that is in the in the same or close to the same level range.

That way you’ll see new sights and keep things fresh, you were never supposed to stick to an area and grind out the same events or do the Exploration stuff, in fact Exploration is actually just a bonus thing.

Please don’t take this as disrespect op when I say this, but I think you and people with your mindset need to change your way of thinking from the narrow vision of what MMOs were in the past.

GW2 is trying to move the genre forward not just in gameplay but in a business format , and away from the kinds of threadmills other MMOs offered. See the thing with the competition is they want you to keep playing. The GW games were never really like that, it was always a pick it up for a while and if you get bored drop it and come back again when/if you want.

They didn’t care if you stopped playing for half a year, they got your 60 bucks already, if you’re bored come back when they have another expansion.

Wow…what the hell was so dire that you found it necessary to roll us back?

I think what Anet should’ve done was given Story mode their own set of unique looking gear. Taking WoW as an example with the 10-25 man, people want to run instances, it’s what keeps players playing pve endgame. But not everyone is willing to put in the time or effort into doing the harder versions.

Anet needs to realize that you can’t nudge these people into doing Explore mode with any real measure of consistent success. All it does is cause frustration from both the players that want to experience content AND get exotic gear with more skilled players who can put the time in.

Props to the devs on this one.

I wish more people played the original GW so they know exactly the philosophy of Anet. Elite gear was always just for show, it was there for people to get who were more than just casual passersby.

I understand people are used to playing other MMOs with a different mindset and style but GW2 is totally different in the approach.

I blame most of the mmos in the industry having catered to lazy (not saying casual) players over the last couple of years. Many people have this idea in their head that all the content on an mmo should be accessible to them.

Not everything in an mmo should be accessible to everyone, work for it.

I’d be lying if I said this bug is surprised me when I encountered it but I’m not. There’s just so many bugs I had to deal with in so many storyline missions it’s hilarious.
