This has to be the most stupid and narrow minded blog I've ever read. |

If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s FF-XIV. |

He lost me at WvWvWvWPFFffftttt. *Edit* He's just a WoW troll thats why his WvW pics are wrong in every way. |

i can understand the viewpoint of the writer. when my wife first started playing games with me she too was horrible at them and hated them. with proper guidance though she improved and found herself enjoying them much more. the author of that article simply needs a kind and patient husband and i think things will look up. |

Apparently he never played GW1 otherwise he wouldn't make comments like that. Gaining skill points has always been like that since GW1. Yes, you can hit the level cap but it doesn't mean you'll get ALL the skills. Since the game is skill based, you would want to "collect" as many skills as you can so you can make different builds for all kinds of circumstances. Besides, if GW1 can last 6 years, I'm sure GW2 will last even longer. Unless GW2 REALLY screwed up which I really don't see it from happening.

That guy loves wow more than his own family, I've seen another of his 'articles' before. Safe to say that guy isn't someone who holds weight in terms of opinion.

Originally posted by SuperXero89 If you zone in with 8-10 friends, or even a small group, I can maybe see it being a nice diversion to go kill a bunch of NPC guards at one of the random outposts and otherwise inflicting maximum annoyance. But knocking on a wall and then killing a Keep Lord and then losing said keep a few hours later after you turn in for the night when the West coast PvP guild logs on? And god help you if you want to do WvW below level 80 – you get leveled up to 80, but neither your gear nor your skills are leveled likewise. I imagine we will all get pretty adept at playing Angry Birds one-handed as we navigate the 2.25 minute graveyard run for the millionth time. "Quote from source link" With a Group of 5 you can cap supply camps and kill supply buffalo(whatever there called) Also take flag points that watch roads(one elite). You would be able to set up a Catapult on a cliff facing the door of said keep or rush it with 2 battering ram. Regardless if your are lvl 80 trew actuall lvling or auto 80 you do not get more skills on seige weponry. You can also repair walls/ gates as well as anyone else. Upgrading a keep properly will make it so your keep lasts much longer and with boiling fire/ballista/ arrowcart/and cannons at your disposel noone can just zerg a group of ten holding a fortified keep at max lvl regardless if its all pure 80 vrs lowbie 80s. It's still going to be quite the little battle with 2 people repairing the gates, the giant Swords crossed on the map letting the rest of your server know its being attacked, and the constant large structured pvp from seige weapons. Also there is no graveyard, you just repspawn at desired waypoint or get rezzed. If he means the walk back to the place he died it is purposly set up like that for spawn abuse reasons.

He probably lost all his WoW friends to GW2, now he is bitter and lonely.

Ironically while I totally disagree with the guy's blog in content, I agree with his conclusion.
GW2's success is not because of DE, B2P, level field sPvP, WvW or horizontal progression. GW2 is successful because its design, gameplay, philosophy is fundamentally different and aims at a market that has no other competitions, a market that had for the past decade been underestimated and neglected by the MMO sector. There are a hundred MMO out there with gear treadmills and static quests, there are few if any out there that had taken GW2's approach. The MMO market for grinds, gated progression and gear treadmills is oversaturated while people like me who are tired of the same old raid drama over gear and chasing the dangling carrot only to chase more of them, are left without. DE, WvW and horizontal progression are simply manifestations and natural outcomes of the fundamental design philosophy Anet has chose to adopt. It didn't have to be DE, WvW, no matter what system Anet come up with for the game under their design philosophy of the game should be designed to be fun will always appeal to me, and undoubtly plenty others.

Originally posted by itgrowls The game launches in about 7 days and they just want to get the most out of them. I mean, once the game launches, people will be too busy playing and the haters will lose a large chunk of their audience. Besides that, who cares what some random blogger thinks?

See ya gotta admit, atleast when TSW and GW2 fans get into it. we don't dont sound nearly as bad as people from the other games. I'm willing to admit GW2 will be good i just wont be playing it, some people cant even try to see something in a light if its a threat to their game at all.
Because i can. |

I guess we have to suffer idiocy until the game launches, as it gets closer its going to get worst. Button down the hatches, it will be a long night.
