A sword is never a killer, it is a tool in the killer's hands. |

Originally posted by spizz Again, some people talk more than others... apparently a lot. In MMOs I prefer to speak with my DPS. I really have zero desire to strike up a /map converstaion. On the other hand, in RL, I will happily strike up a conversation with a stranger or co worker. Myself, and other players who are leaving similar posts, just don't feel the need to type like a 12 year old girl texting on her IPhone when we are trying to play a game. |

Originally posted by jpnole Alright besides the social interaction, what about coordination in pvp ? People need to communicate since information is valueable. Not even this happens that often. |

I want an mmorpg where pvp matters, my enemies are not my race or class, and community matters. |

just spent like 10 mins in LA talking about colors for armor with someone who looked just like me. so far im enjoying the conversations alot that i have had with people About the guild part, you might want to look into seeing if your guild has a vent server, i run one for my guild and that tends to be why gchat is dead |

Simply put there is no need for chat. All you have to do is follow the zerg and do your own thing. Just as taliking to npc's to get quests was replaced by hearts because talking to a npc was just too damn hard and boring. The need for strategy or any need to communicate with your fellow player has been phased out. GW2 is just a very good supercasual gamefor those that can't be bothered with such things. All hail the new messiah of MMO's and the way of things to come! |

Instead of chatting with others, people are playing with others. Actually I see plently of pointless discussions going on which I try to ignore. Plus some occasional dungeon discussions.

Originally posted by Wraithone Yeah, maybe the 3 day bans because someone goes to tattletown on you are helping keep people quiet. |

Depends on the hours for me. Sometimes non stop and other times dead. However, if its quiet and I ask for help, I always get immediate responses. But its on par with most MMO's. Just doesn't have the endless stream of 'LFG, LFH, LFT!' which I am grateful for. |

On my server I see some chatter in /map but for the most part GW2 is a solo player game. They removed the need for tradtiional grouping for 90% of the content, instead you just run around Zerging content with a bunch of other non connected , non organized strangers.
It is funny hwo empty and sad game play has become from the days of UO and EQ where your success depended on others. Groups were a primary focus of game play and this fostered the creation of an entire community of people working together because you had to in order to progress, anti social players were stuck in very few class options that were viable. The Commuity also added so much to the game, on Rallos (PvP server), there was insane politics, Guild rivalries, and TONS of competition. Players built reputations and became well known to everyone and in a strange way the Community had the ability to shape players, if you were a jerk or a terrible player you could end up beign shunned by most players, making it tough to level since very few people would group up with you.
Ahh the good old days... Now all we have is a bunch of entitled "Special Snowflakes" playing in glorified Adventure DayCare MMOs... games are dumbed down to the point of absurdity, grouping is punished by design, competition has become a four letter word and any game play that takes more than 10 minutes or requires that you pay attention is labeled "Grind" and gets the MMO brain deficient lemmings in an uproar.

Originally posted by Xzen same.. map chat almost never stops it seems.. usually it's to much chatter and i just leave on my guild chat tab I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |
