Then I expect for you to say this of all themepark games? 

I would say that about most themeparks, especially given the fact that they've been treating us to the same thing now for years.

I think it's one major reason why GW2 becomes so tedious so fast - because it really is more of the same, just with a slightly different presentation (and it's very easy and simplistic as well).  It's the same reason so many other themepark games have gotten boring so fast in recent years - it's the same design concepts and content over and over again.  GW2 isn't any different.

DEs are often the same old MMO content, without the quest giver.  Additionally, many of them "move at the speed of cow" - they move at the scripted speed (ugh, another slow, meaningless ox convoy), not at the speed of the player, which gets tedious.  Also, not all content is available to all players all the time, which is a major reason why most themeparks do not allow players to change the world.  Not that DEs really change the world, they just make content available according to the script.

Almost done with it. Lvl 80 in 2 weeks, 3 lvl 400 Professions, and no, I wasn't rushing, I played fairly casual (Some days didn't even logged at all). The Crafting is well screwed, with the Global Trade Post, everyine is selling well under cost of making the item. Everything is way too easy in GW2, I thought it was going to be different from other MMOs, but I was wrong.

No offense meant, but I don't believe you played "casual".

Give us a screenshot of your "/age"...

Probably just hitting GW2 burnout - but not feeling any aspect of GW2 lately - even WvW is feeling uninspiring to me. I am stting at 75 and no will to even get to 80. Crafting is boring and sort of a deja vu from countless other MMOs I've played. PvE I feel I am just completely fed up with - can't stand to do another DE.

I think I need a break - maybe I'll load up Vanguard - had a max toon there years ago and a mid 30s shammy that was fun.

 

 

Take a break, its not like your wasting your cash on the downtime any way, but why would you burn yourself out on a F2P any hows

Took me 4 years to get bored of EQ

& about 4 days with GW2..

Yup, already cancelled my sub. Will come back to see what they have done when it eventually goes F2P

The best game ever made in the history of the universe would end up boring me if I played it too much.

 

If I was having sex for 12-16 hours a day, everyday with the hottest... sexiest... chicks on the globe, I would end up getting bored of that too.

 You are a strange man then. I would never, ever get bored of that, ever.... ever.

I was actually thinking the other day how it was amazing that porn never gets old or uninteresting.

There is something strange about GW2. I have never found myself actually enjoying any of it. I never stop playing and say "Man that was a blast". I just go through the motions, complete hearts or DEs, go to points, climb to a vista, pop into WvW for an hour or two and when I'm done I am more like "What did I just do for all that time?" They do a great job of keeping things to do in front of you so you don't have to search out something to keep you busy, but not a single thing of it has yet to be exciting or "fun". I plan to keep leveling up and trying stuff out to see it becomes fun and mainly to see if the WvW gets better as people explore it more, but the fun factor is surpisingly absent.

Even in Rift, which I didn't think was very interesting, I had moments where I thought "Ok, now that was fun".

If we hurry....we can still get a gold for the "Burn the Troll" event. 

48 ranger, 35 engineer, and 22 guardian.

Not even close to being bored. So much to see and do it's not even funny. Just taking my time and enjoying the ride.

Casual, wha? Your definition of it is flawed, Tell me, what's your time played? Maybe this is just your way of fluffing your feathers.

What? I don't know how you guys can do it unless you have guildmates feeding you crafting materials. I am not going to call you out,  but I'm a fair crafter at any game and I have about 150 hours in and my armorsmithing is just near 200 and my jewelcrafting is at about 180. If you truly are at those levels I salute you, but I don't see how it is possible without help.

edit: and if you aren't being helped by guildmates with materials then you can't be purchasing them because as you said everyone is selling under cost so you can't be making a profit.

If I'm way off here please make a guide for us!

Casual lol!!

Do we understand the term in similar way? i play 2 hours a day 3 to 4 times a week. I have 4 alts all in lvl 30 to 40 range. And i haven't even scratched the surface.

In two weeks if you hit lvl 80 with 3 professions to lvl 400 you must have put easily 8 to 10 hoursa day. Unless your guildies were feeding you mats to level up i am not going to believe a word you just said.

Why people tell such obvious lies? are we really that stupid and easy to fool?

 Yes, there is plenty to do. The problem is none of it feels "fun". It just feels like you're scratching things off a To Do list one by one. Even completing a zone 100% doesn't make you go "Nice!" it is just a checkmark and on to the next one.

That is my biggest problem with the game, it isn't that I'm rushing, it isn't that I can't find things to do (I'm always doing something, they hit that aspect of the game quite well), the problem is not once has it felt fun to do any of it.

I gotta agree. I usually don't do things for to long if it's no fun unless I have to. ;)

This.   Week, week and a half, whatever...    And yes leveling curve is not intense, so it's not as 'hard as other mmos' to level, but still ---   step away from the computer.   Go out.  Socialize.   Get a job.  Get laid.   Get away from the computer.

I personally no longer complain about being bored or burned out on a game as I've learned that it only means I play it too much.

No game is perfect, and no game is supposed to provide a better lifestyle.         Just play it as a videogame, and when you're not having fun, do something else.... simple as that.  

That being said, I personally never felt any excitement when I played GW2, as well as when I watch my friends play it.    Too much chaos, needlessly hectic flashing colors, and an apparent lack of any real strategy and tactics beyond zerging and firing off constant AOE attacks at everything.    

Beautiful graphics though.  Just not something I can get into anymore.   I'm an old man now that enjoys the pacing of EVE more so than any of these new games.   MMOs are now for button mashers, and not for deep thinkers like they used to be. 

Have fun, that's what counts.  Have fun.

 You are correct. People can not have a conversation in which differing points of view are represented because that is such a horrible thing.

Well done sir.

WTF are you talking about? He clearly stated he wasn't having fun, so I don't know, STOP PLAYING and find something else to waste your time on.
