I hit level 80 in a little over week on Guild Wars 2. No, that wasn't me rushing either. I stopped to get 100% on quite a few of the maps and even decided to work on the tedium that is crafting. I farmed mobs for cloth, and other supplies... However I find myself bored with the game now. I'm level 80 and I'm wearing full exotic armor, with an exotic one-handed sword, axe, and a rare two-handed sword as my secondary... The thought of grinding dungeons for tokens to get armor just isn't appealing in any sense.
Problems I'm facing: Dungeons aren't entertaining, the storylines presented with in them were trash. It actually made me hate the entire group of Destiny's Edge rather then care about them in any meainginful way. After reading the novels this was a terrible let down. Dungeon rewards as it stands are also terrible and simply aren't worth doing. Personal Story, I've taken the story to the level 74-75 mission where I'm on the verge of brinign down the Mouth. The storyline as a whole isn't very interesting but the supporting characters they've got me with make it to where I'm not even remotely interested in finishing. It's my opinion, sure, but to me... It just wasn't what I thought it would be. The story is extremely generic and this is proving to be one of the main issues for me. If I'm not interested, or invested in the world I'm playing in... What's the point? Guilds serve no purpose - Being able to join multiple guilds killed any sense of community that I've felt in previous MMOs. EQ, EQ2, World of Warcraft... I was proud to be in a guild, because we were all working towards the same goals as a group. Half of the time when I look in guild I see that very few are actually representing. Terrible system.

Well perhaps move on to a new game? Sorry but this is what alot of people are going to tell you, there have been many of these posts already. When you don't feel the need or want to log into a game then maybe the game just isn't for you, it is THAT simple. There is the October event and supposedly new things coming in November, but again nobody is forcing you to play. If I don't like a game I just look for something else. CURRENTLY PLAYING |GW2| |

if you dont mind me asking, how many hours have you logged ingame in the last ~6 weeks?
I have to be honest with you. We have completely blown up the design of EverQuest Next. For the last year and a half we have been working on something we are not ready to show. Why did we blow up the design? The design was evolutionary. It was EverQuest III. It was something that was slightly better than what had come before it. It was slightly better.What we are building is something that we will be very proud to call EverQuest. It will be the largest sandbox-style MMO ever designed.--Smed |

I don't mind, probably over 90 hours easily. The two weeks I played for hours, leveling, doing events, all that jazz. Though I had Gallbladder surgery like 2 weeks ago so I didn't play at all, but I didn't find myself missing the game either. Which was a shame.
Honestly the game itself is fine, I enjoy the combat, I like the mechanics. It's just the generic storyline, lack of rewards for completeting difficult tasks, and a community that is SO inclusive that it's actually becoming anti-social that is killing the game for me. |

Then you could do the following: a) go back to WoW b) if you want good story and play WoW in space, play SWTOR instead c) if you want great story, innovative mission mechanics, monthly mission packs, GW2 type combat plus WoW type endgame, play TSW d) if you want something completely different in a sandbox but without story, play EvE e) if you want to quit MMORPGs alltogether you might want to try Planetside 2 Beta or go for Borderlands 2. f) in any case, you should also play X-COM Enemy Unknown because it´s gonna be great :D 4days and counting...

Originally posted by Yakamomoto A. WoW is boring, I've been done with that game since the start of Cata. B. I didn't enjoy SWTOR either because of the graphical style. It wasn't Starwarsy enough for me! C. TSW was actually an extremely fun game and I'll admit to loving the storyline because I enjoy H.P. Lovecraft and other works like that. However I didn't think the game was worth the 15 dollars a month. The combat, while fun, was still kind of generic. D. I've tried EVE multiple times. I can't get into it! E. I might end up taking a break from MMOs just because the genre is extremely boring right now. PS2 looks fun, Borderlands 2 looks entertaining as well. I didn't mind the first one. F. I already have it pre-bought on STEAM. |

I feel you. I haven't played in almost a month. It was fun the first week or so but I quickly got bored.

Originally posted by Ridrith Try Borderlands 2 and/or Torchlight 2. Both are excellent. If you want a more competitive game, try World of Tanks. Its FTP with a microtransaction system that isn't too punishing for free players.

Originally posted by Ridrith just passed over the 200 hour mark(across all characters) and highest character is still in the 50s.. storyline varies for me found some a lot better than others.. although I just did the Battle of Claw Island and thought it was one of the most enjoyable story sequences I have ever done in a MMO.. very fun battle and very sad as well. I haven't really had much issue with community hell half the people I talk to on a daily basis are from these forums alone.. my chat is going nonstop between my guild and the people from these forums.. like any game it's what you make of it but so far after 200 hours still going strong.. perhaps some of the coming changes will get you back into it:) 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 |

Ridrith your not the only one feeling this way after I hit 80 I started checking out what GW 2 really had to offer and what it ended up being for me was that GW 2 is nothing more than Disneyland Online. GW 2 should be shut down an redone cuz this can't be the game they invisioned for us GW vet's to play.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.... |

Originally posted by Ridrith A. WoW is boring, I've been done with that game since the start of Cata. A. I agree... same here B. Agree on that too but I think there might soon be a SWTOR revamp with space combat, at least I´m still hoping to give the game another chance then. I also miss the Star Wars feeling in TOR. C. Well, with the current TSW monthly update pace and regular events like yesterday on Huldra dimension , it was worth a lifetime sub for me. Can´t wait for the actual Halloween event to start:D And the upcoming NY Raid and Tokyo ! D. EvE is awesome. Still playing approximately 4 months a year. I just love scanning and exploring the galaxy, mining and trading and the whole complexity. Perhaps try some tutorials like this one and give it another go?
E. Well not all of them, I´d say EvE and TSW are the refreshing alternatives. Also look out for "World of Darkness" by CCP, might come any year between now and 2015....

Originally posted by Ginaz Same here, I'm even starting to get bored with TSW. DAoC used to be my old standby -- the one I always went back to after tiring of playing the overhyped MMOs coming out. Now it seems to be Rift. I'm staring to think MMO developers no longer have the ability to create fun and interesting games. :-( Oh well, Storm Legion should hold my interest for a while. Otherland looks like it might be worth a look, but everything else...nah. |

It's still going strong for me. Just hit 70 with my main. Maybe it's because I really enjoy the PvP. Been doing tons of it, and plan to keep doing it for a long time

Yeah there's no way I'd throw 17 days away. Haha, that's another one of the reasons I think I'm starting to slowly move away from MMOs. They're built to be time sinks, with or with out grind. I'd rather play through a single player, or multiplayer experience with a good storyline for six-twelve hours and call it a day.
I think I'm just starting to grow out of that mindset, GW2 is good though because if I feel the need to actually log back in one day I can with out having to pay a sub fee. So at least there's always that. :) |

Originally posted by halflife25 heh 200 hours is a lot for me I had some all day marathons on the weekends when I could but yea 400+ is a LOT of hours but guess if i didn't have full time job and family I could do it.
