What could be done to save this game? People was already bored after few weeks and now you can't find anyone for grouping. What was going wrong? Maybe open world pvp or gear with stats?

Theres nothing to save, the game is doing better then the Devs imagined and despite some issues the game continues to do good and have good retention.
Taken from the Colin Johanson interview: http://gamingbolt.com/guild-wars-2-interview-we-talk-to-areanet-about-how-the-mmorpg-has-been-doing-post-launch
more people who purchased the game so far since it came out than any of the numbers we expected. Our last big November weekend- at the high point in the weekend, we were using about 90% of our total server bandwidth for the demand of all the players logging in. And that was just awesome to see. It’s not something that we necessarily expected to be quite so big and we’re continuing to grow. And it’s just really humbling and really exciting to see how much people are falling in love with the game over a short period of time.

But in this case,GW2 is doing as well as any other theme park.After a couple months people get bored and move on to other things,with those still interested sticking around of course.As far as I go,Im really only interested in the special events at this point. |

This game is fine. And it doesn't need "saving."

F.Y.I this is a troll thread. Here is the op's opinion of the game. "You forgot mounts :) Look hype is so big because first part of guild wars is so boring and guild wars comunity play only one game. Yes game is boring and empty but i bought that game like you, only not because of my wife it was because of my 6 year old son, game is made for his age"
He was called out for this before. Shame on him. |

How to save a game that is doing fine is like Mr. Burns finding gold in the riverbed

What needs saving exactly? Because if it was in trouble i'm not seeing it.

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

No game really needs 'saving' so to speak unless its losing profits. While I believe GW2 isn't reaching the profits the producers hoped the game would make through both box sales and cash shop, its not needing 'saving' unless its actually losing profits or it is making to small of profits for the companies 'needs'.

The game doesn´t "need to be saved". GW2 is doing good,servers are alive and most of the time u find areas in overflow because they are full. In my case it´s the first MMO i play for over 3 months without getting bored.

I have been palying W v W more than anything. However, when I tried to get a group for the fractals, cound't get a group because most players are looking for fractals level 2 and up; since these fractals were introduced, I have noticed a big chunk of players chasing the gear that drops in there; so I went back to W v W, but these days I am not feeling PvPing much, so I took a break. W v W has been fun, but one gets tired of the same runs back and forth from supply camps to towers, etc. Also, I thought that after ANet banned many accounts, I thought W v W would be a fair game. How wrong I was. This is the part that is upsetting me more because I like W v W, but the hackers are back having their merry ways.

Originally posted by GreenishBlue Fractal had a flaw in that direction. New commers hardly can catch with progression. Its the lack of LFg tool or anything similar. At least we can play with players from different worlds. Use http://gw2lfg.com/ , seems to work well, so far. |

The game does not need any saving, it is a success story.

It just needs an expansion, so people buy it and return to play for another couple of weeks.
Other than that, I'm rather surprised at how many people still buy the PR stuff that a dev says about their own game. It's like expecting one commercial about McDonalds to tell you "And remember! At lunch, eat two better than one! Rapid death to morbid obesity and heart attack guaranteed!". My opinion is my own. I respect all other opinions and views equally, but keep in mind that my opinion will always be the best for me. That's why it's my opinion. |

They need to fix the invisible armies in WvWvW. Everything else is secondary. Anyone with any iota of PvP-manship has left long ago for better pvp games because of this one bug/exploit, that ANet will not fix nor announce any plans to. The ones saying it's not a problem, are the ones clamoring to the ability like a fly to dung. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-c Try to argue this please. Oh also if you quote me and it's to argue my point, if I don't respond it means I haven't been corrected by you and/or I haven't seen it. Remember I don't mind admitting I am in the wrong. Take care :D |
