Guild Wars 2

I disagree, no levels=no buy, can’t say why, but i get very irritated, when games dont level you up level wise, Like FFXI it didnt use levels, it used something just like it…..BUT it was different.

FFXI has levels. 99 of them. FFXIV also has levels. 50 of them. Not sure where you were going with this argument, but every MMO I’ve played has levels to some extent. The only one which really got away with a minimalist approach to levelling up was the original Guild Wars, where the level cap was 20 and the way to enhance your character wasn’t necessarily through better gear but through careful placement of skill points and the acquisition of new skills via the Signet of Capture.

Personally, I’m rather happy with the level system in GW2. It’s a staple in many MMO’s because it works, so why fix what isn’t broken?

Honestly, I think a lot of MMO’s have this same issue. I think it’s because they all use the same pathfinding for all mobs, so it looks for cliff edges and avoids them lest the more terrestrial creatures plummet off a cliff to a messy end. On the plus side, it means escaping those nasty veterans and champions becomes a bit easier.

I’m not sure what people would get out of staring at a ‘barbie doll’ nude character. It’s not as if they’re anatomically correct. Then again, I’m not sure why people would choose to parade in their undergarments, dyed or otherwise.
