Talk about the generosity only to be loathed by so much ungratefulness.
I am sure ANet was anticipating the obvious outcry Blizzard had when they announced their plan.

Cheetara, it’s not just this game! It’s just about any MMO. There is a cycle of insatiable players who come out swinging. The MMO market is saturated with games and there are more of the same types of players now than there were 6-7 yrs ago.
To many cry babies not enough folks who are a fan of video games imo.
They can call it whatever they want to. The questing isn’t like GW1. The story missions aren’t like GW1. The Skillbar customisation isn’t as good as GW1. The grouping isn’t as good as GW1. The combat isn’t like GW1. The setting isn’t like GW1. The classes aren’t like GW1. The art style isn’t like GW1. They have a town called “Lions Arch” in GW2, woopdy-doo. As I said earlier, I have a history book in my closet with a naked picture in it, that does not make it a Playboy magazine. Anet can call this game whatever they want to, but it’s not a Guild Wars sequel in any way really.
You have spent the whole day trying to make your point. Many folks here have lent you a helping which I personally do not wish do.
It’s not complex, there is no difficulty of understanding the many ways to level. But instead you have chosen to ignore them.
GW2 is very much a sequel to GW1 but plays nothing like it. The Devs have expressed that they wanted to move in a whole different direction from what you and I have been familiar with. I don’t know if your just plan stupid or lack common sense to educate yourself on the product before buying it. It’s been talked about before OVER, OVER, AND OVER AGAIN. Heck, there was even BETA to experience this first hand, and tons of video…youtube!
If this is where it ends for you, where you completely stop playing,… thank you! You have done many of us a huge favor!

Some folks think there should be an “Instant Fix Button!”
It works, but it does sound like a bug.
Many people on on the forums (for gw2 or other) are just drama queens. I mean they literally just do it for the drama.
Who in their right minds would make an “I quit” post otherwise? You don’t decide to quit a game unless you’re no longer invested in it and if you’re no longer invested that means you don’t care about their official forums.
Cowards behind Monitors!
Keyboard Commandos!
I loved the fact that you noobs brought up WoW and compared GW2 to it. How about we compare GW1 to GW2 huh? Oh right you can’t because GW2 isn’t even a sequel in any way shape or form. I win you lose, take a forum hike.
GW1 isn’t an MMO, it’s more of a Lobby game!
This is a great example of players needing their hands held more!
Folks who can’t really think for themselves. Always needing help or guides, leaves very little room for improvising or imagination to say the least.
People are just pathetic, they level up to 80 in a week and then whine on what to do next? Seriously? Maybe you could get a job or go to school so you wont level up so quickly.
Im lvl 45 after a month of play, Clocked in around 150 hours and only been on 5-6 maps/areas in the game. I play to enjoy myself, not to get to the endgame.
I can’t wait for these folks to leave! They will move on to the next MMO rinse and repeat the same scenario!
This will leave many of us to finally enjoy the game for what it’s worth to us.
