This is my list, but only what I want or already have some of them as.
Human – All but mostly Warrior, Ranger, Thief
Norn – Warrior, Ranger, Guardian
Charr – Warrior, Ranger and/or Thief, Engineer (EDIT: Blood Legion for Warrior, Ash for Ranger/Thief, Iron for Engineer. Thought I throw this in there for fun
)
Sylvari – Ranger, Guardian and/or Elementalist, Necromancer
Asura – Ranger, Thief, Mesmer

For almost two years (in about one week’s time) I have adored GW2. I’ve dragged several friends into the game. I’ve tried other games, but I’ve always come back to GW2. By now, I’ve spent more than 10 times what I paid for the game at the gem store.
I understand some people being upset about the new traits system and I think it was better as it originally was, but I could live with it. These latest changes though, have left me seriously frustrated. Why the sudden simplification of heart quests? Some weren’t perfect, sure, but the changes have made things vastly worse. Now, quests that were (at worst) a bit unexciting or time-consuming, are utterly boring. For example, Wayfairer Foothills used to be my favourite starting area, but now it’s far too easy and just plain dull. Instead of multiple choice attacks when transformed into a snow leopard, there’s just one attack to keep pressing like a moron. When did the client base for GW2 change from reasonably intelligent teenagers and adults who want a challenge, to pre-schoolers who just want to hit the same key over and over again? ‘Look Mama! I make kittencat hit big birdy!’.
Fixing things I can understand. Removing tedious things I can understand. Making a boring quest more exciting … I can understand. But turning GW2 into a game for little kids or people with an IQ barely out of single figures, I don’t get at all. GW2 was better than all the other MMOs out there, and one of the things it did better than any other game was that it made the whole concept of quests new, varied and intelligent. Now they’re just a minor variation on the quests in WoW, Aion, Tera, ESO and ArcheAge and quests in those games are BORING!
I’m so very, very disappointed. If this is the best you could come up with for improving the quests, you seriously need to consider changing them back to how they were before, because this is not an improvement and people are going to start calling GW2 the ‘game for simpletons’.
There are 728 heart missions in the entire game right now and you complain about the one where you had to turn into a snow leopard that you are most likely playing level 1-3 to complete? ROFL!
Its called an example O.o
I realize that.
Though out of all of the heart missions he could have picked in the starting zones, even with other races, he picked that one which IMO was a silly quest anyways.
To the OP, to be fair I do understand what you are saying but just because they made this change does not mean the game as a whole is easy. This is a “starting” area so of course it’s going to be easy. Yes I understand it may get tedious after awhile to wait until level 10 to finally start the personal story but it’s worth the wait I think. Plus, I said it before in another thread I like this change because it gives me an advantage to to level up before getting into the story and I don’t feel forced to move up at a low level. That’s just me though.

The latest patch just goes to show how little Anet seems to care about its playerbase. It almost feels like contempt of us.
What I am referring to is the extraordinarily sloppy way in which this year’s Halloween events have been delivered.
Magister Tassi refers to the player character’s participation in Dragon Bash. Obviously, there was no Dragon Bash this year. Then there are the Mad Memoires NPCs in Lion’s Arch… but nowhere else.
New Player Experience? Well, there is a great experience for new players – starting an in game scavenger hunt that they then have to be told in chat is actually a scrappy remnant of an old event. Aka – Anet doesn’t clean up after itself very well.
This comes on top of the complete ignorance of the playerbase regarding MANY other much-complained about topics, including but not limited to:
Trait requirements that are impossible to achieve because they’re in WvWvW or are on timegated events which not everyone has the ability to complete.
The entire trait unlocking system overall, and level 80s out there with 3 or sometimes less traits unlocked.
The Megaserver which discriminates against guilds.
The way Ascended was implemented which discriminates against those with alts. In fact, having alts is a major detriment to a player in many ways in GW2.
The absolute balls-up of the storyline, and the disjointed, often confusing, way the dialogues now play out.
The persistent pandering to China, and giving two-finger salutes to the existing player base. The new outfit with the sedge (conical) hat being just the latest example.All these completely ignored and barely answered criticisms have left me in the state that I don’t want to log in anymore either because I feel it is futile to hope for improvement… or because I am actually so angry at the utter contempt for myself and my fellow players that it makes me not want to support the game anymore.
GW2 is still a flagship MMO, but the Captain is drunk, the helmsman jumped overboard, and it seems that all we have left is Gaile Gray (all credit to her) running around trying to plug the leaks in the hull.
Well, at least the game is F2P right? So nothing to lose!
They really have created something fresh and special with this game. Taught me to love MMOs all over again.
Thanks for all the hard work
Agree ^
scratches head. I guess I’m confused by the purpose of this post. It’s like the owner wanted to just say it was the best game ever (for him that is).
Exactly. But not just for me, there are others too who agree with me.
He didn’t really state why or ask for comments or other thoughts.
Because IT IS. Already others are commenting and have their thoughts so I didn’t have to ask them
Almost seems like he posted it and didn’t expect or want comments or opinions of others, which is a purpose of a forum after all.
LOL! Of course I expected comments. Wow… what thinking.
Next time send an email to Anet or buy gems to show support, seems useless to me as a forum post. Almost seems kind of trollish to put this on a forum then state how you don’t understand how people can be negative or critical about the game, it is a forum after all.
Wait, so am I not allowed to post that I believe its the best MMO game here? On a GW2 forum? Why get so worked up about it sir? Maybe you don’t understand how people like myself can be so positive about the game and praise it, it is a forum after all.
Wow, didn’t expect all these replies and arguments. I was just saying it’s the best MMO game is all. Nothing wrong with that
I don’t care what anyone says.
you are what is known as a fanboy
Why thank you! I love feedback I guess I stirred someone up maybe more for being positive about something. Now, you people who post negative things to others who like something in particular know what it feels like to us now don’t you?
When you say that this is the best MMO, I read it as the most addicting MMO. That’s not something to be happy about.
Well, you read it wrong.
—————————————————-
Now I realize this is a MMO and because it’s an MMO it’s in our nature to EXPECT new content added left and right to keep the game “going” and for others to “continue playing”. This has been going on for God knows how long but it’s still a game right? Games were meant to be played and have fun on right? Most of the players who are criticizing the game are veterans anyway so I can understand where they are coming from but why waste time criticizing when you can either A) Find new ways to play and have fun instead of doing the same thing over and over or B ) Find something else to play if you “done it all”. Also there’s the new players that come into the game probably every day who will have fun with it and not criticize it because they are having fun, because there’s so much to do before reaching that glorious level 80 and finally beating the game. They are the backbone of this game that will continue to keep playing and keep the game going and many more new players will enter this game in the years to come. Face it, the game is only 2 years old. TWO. Quit acting like it’s 5 or more. There’s still plenty of time to add new content and expansions for you spoiled veterans * grabs your cheek *
A game is a game so if you like it, play it. If you don’t, then don’t. With 6,000 hours of game time, it seems you REALLY like(d) it. I’m sure you’ll be back to playing eventually.
disregard the trolls
If anyone is trolling here, it’s the OP. He came here to announce he’s leaving GW2 (like boohoo?) and then later posts a screenshot of the new game he is playing like he was shoving it in our faces. I see no point there at all.
Anyways good luck dude and hope you have a blast on that new game.
