What is with all of these threads and posts about how GW2 has no endgame or content and it isn't that good? This is hands down the best MMO in a long time. 

It has all the perfect elements to it:

1. A living world filled with unique events that never get boring. 
2. An awesome story filed with lore and adventure.
3. All the crafting that a person could ever do.
4. Tons of content with dungeons and getting the right looks for your character.
5. An epic PVP system in WvW that never stops and there is always something to do.
6. No gear gating so you can always do any content.

Just enjoy the game! :D

People just need to relax and take their time in this game. There is so much to see and so much to do. They will add more content in the future and it will all be free (minus the expansions). 

Just enjoy the game! :D

 

See, thing is, your opinion, which it is an opinion, is the complete opposite of how I feel about GW2. Non living world that have the same static, boring events. The story quests, meh, boring as well. Crafting who cares, for me anyways. Not much content at all, as the game feel like 1 big bore to me. PvP is far from epic IMO.  As I said it s just that an opinion, others are not quite like yours, hence the end game sucks posts about GW2, which I tend to agree with.

I was like you once, Until Nov 15th came along when the devs decided their pockets were more important the game content. When you can give me a good reason why they are still holding onto DR even tho the bots are gone, why they are still giving ascended gear higher stats even tho it's supposedly only for the dungeon content with agony, and the reason why they can't seem to hire enough people to fix the bugs that have been in there since BWE2 then I'll agree with you, until then have fun until you reach level 80 and you can't gear your peeps without 100 dungeon runs (in a game that was never supposed to be about dungeons at all) with MF gear on gimping yourself or buying gems from the store and converting them to gold so you can use it in the overpriced unmonitored ripoff they call a TP.

Its not perfect, its just one of the best in the market ATM and i guess that rubs some people the wrong way.

I got 2 exotic sets in week and a half without stepping into dungeon.

And....gosh....without using store. Or MF gear. Or ran into DR.

Now i will get ascended gear without stepping into dungeon. Or using MF gear. Or using store. Or run into DR.

Well this is going to go well. 

Personally I think GW2 is pretty great.  But it's certainly not perfect.  Nor can I say its the "best" mmo around because there's plenty I haven't played, and even if I had played all of them, it would still just be a personal opinoin regarding which one is the "best". 

There's a lot of enjoyment to have there, if everything clicks and just happens to be your thing.  Which it did with me.  But I can absolutely see why some people don't prefer it.  It may be a playstyle preference, a love of trinity mechanics, wanting a good lfg tool, wanting more guild and social functionality, or wanting more emotes, etc etc etc and the list goes on. 

How much you like something depends on how well you like what a thing does well over what it does badly.  GW2 does some things VERY well.  It also has a few things it does badly.  Also that too is subjective.  I happen to like what I think it does right over what I think it does wrong or badly.  For some folks, that's just not the case.  There's nothing wrong with that.

It has nothing to do with rubbing people the wrong way at all. It s called opinions. I think it s a crap game, you don t, these are called OPINIONS.

1. A living world filled with unique events that never get boring. Opinion
2. An awesome story filed with lore and adventure. Opinion.
3. All the crafting that a person could ever do. Unknown by me. perhaps fact.
4. Tons of content with dungeons and getting the right looks for your character. Opinion.
5. An epic PVP system in WvW that never stops and there is always something to do. Opinion. flaw: repetitiveness.
6. No gear gating so you can always do any content. Fact. but does not support main argument.

People just need to relax and take their time in this game. There is so much to see and so much to do. They will add more content in the future and it will all be free (minus the expansions). Opinion

Just enjoy the game! :D

It has nothing to do with rubbing people the wrong way at all. It s called opinions. I think it s a crap game, you don t, these are called OPINIONS.

"Opinion" is backed by numbers.

After reading the post, my sarcasm detector just overloaded :/

I like GW2 a lot, but the OPs post strikes me as baiting.

Or faith. Like in OP's case.

There is no "faith" in what I said except for Anet adding content.

True, some of it may be more of my opinion, but I think in the end that people just need to enjoy the game for what it is and go with the flow. Embrace change. That is what makes this game so great is that it is fresh and new and it is not afraid to try new things.

as in almost everything people tend to either fear or shy away from change... gaming really isn't any exception in most cases it seems... also i'd probably change your thread title as it could be looked at as baiting on these forums

What baiting is there? I actually think the game is perfect. There is nothing I would change. I would like to see more additions to it, but everything that is now is right on target!

much better title:) even if you feel a game is "perfect" or "crap" it still could be considered baiting:) and if you actually want to have some sort of actual discussion it's generally better to avoid such words

You are right. Changed it to prevent any anger that it may cause others.

much better. adding "I think" somewhere in title would've also worked. :).

the 'bait' is in trying to state an opinion as an absolute truth. Maybe you weren't trying to but your choice of words pointed that way.

'awesome' is an opinion. perfectly fine.

'perfect'...has a very clear-cut definition. when something is perfect, there's no room for debate.

the number 'zero' is perfect. no other number is.
