I like it.

I just wish there was more variety in the things you can do at max level.

I thought thats what GW2 meant,sorry if i offended you.

Edit: After all gnomes need some lovin too.

Takes more than that to offend me, I just find it funny when someone talks about disliking fanboys of something, yet talk about it/bash it so much they are themselves just as bad...an anti-fanboy if you will

and yes, yes they do

No ts a PVE game actually. 

PVP games let you gank other in the open world. Some let you loot others and that is more hardcore PVP.

GW2 all PVP is optional so its not a PVP game to me at all.

I am playing War Z right now in alpha and you can kill anyoen anytime and loot  if you want. That is real PVP. YOu can choopse to PVE zombies too, but it has PVP anytime anywhere, GW2 is not PVP.

It's actually neither. For whatever reason, people don't seem to understand that GW2 is a game that you play how you want to. You aren't forced to PvP, and you aren't forced to PvE either (unless you count the brief tutorial instance).

It's never been a game intended to force people to play any one specific way, but some people still want that.

I find myself logging in just to hit the next level. I am currently level 36 and I am hitting a massive boredom wall. I find the crafting horrible, the quests redundant, the same old mobs in different zones and the auction house is totally useless since you can't craft anything that sells.

The plus side of the game is the exploration, but that isn't enough to keep me playing. I am sure Anet will eventually make the game great, but I am going to have to move on until they do.

 

I knew this by playing beta 1, at this time everyone believed it will be the second coming of MMO messiah.

Why do you think there is no trial available?

Why do you think there is no sub available?

Count 1+1

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I can answer those questions.

No trial - it's a B2P game.  There aren't many (any?) B2P games for PC from any genre that offer free trials.  On top of that, it was just released not even 2 months ago.

No sub - Arenanet is a company that built themselves around the idea of making ORPGs without a subscription.  GW1 was a CORPG, GW2 a MMORPG.  Both built around the idea of not charging a sub.  Why?  Because they feel that players should have the choice of when they play and how much they want to pay for the game beyond the initial payment.

Of course, you can go on believing it's because GW2 lacks something that they don't charge a sub.  I'll continue to believe that Arenanet made such a good game people will continue to give them money because they want to.  Not because they feel they have to, which is what you end up with in a sub based game.

If GW2 ends up with the longevity of its predecessor, who will end up feeling silly?

On topic, Bigsmiff, have you tried playing with other people?  While much of the game can be played solo, in my experience, it's way more fun to play with others.

And, I have no problem selling my crafted gear on the BLTC.  I just put it up there and wait for a week and usually what I put up there sells within that time.

Besides, there's always PvP and dungeons.  Or the personal story.  Oh, and jumping puzzles.  I personally love those.

I just want to take the time to thank you for adding to the sales count and helping to fund future development for my game.

I got a refund.. guess I'm outta the sales count

think it's horrible ANET gives refunds to the likes of these people but guess they are a pretty good company in that regard.

I agree, people who claim a refund after playing dozens of hours are no better than people who fake an injury on purpose so they can sue.

Or buy clothes, wear them, and then return them for a refund.

I agree, I think it is very generous of Anet to do that.  Just confirms to me yet again they are a stand up company.

I'd love to see someone try that crap with Blizzard or any of the other companies people seem to love on this site.

Well it has no world PvP so you can throw that out of the "play how you want to" aspect of it. Every server in the game is a PvE server. Structured PvP is nothing but a mini game on different tiny maps with the same objective and WvWvW is not much as far as PvP. The PvP is super limited and has no point to it.

I don't know about the PvE part of the game since I don't care much for dungeons and raids. I hear the PvE is great and I also hear the PvE is horrible.

This game is far from a PvP game. Whether you want to play it like a PvP game or not, you simply can't. It only simulates it in the most mediocre way possible. You can't even duel people which is probably one of the most basic things in any game with decent PvP.

For the most part, I agree with Bigsmiff's opinion of the game. I too quit at around the same level for the same exact reasons a week after the release. It seemed very promising but it was WAAAAY over hyped which ruined it even more for some people. The game has decent graphics and very good looking zones. I guess it's an amazing game for those who like to just explore and look at the scenery.

My account has been gone to another. For a small fee of couse

That's disappointing.  I didn't know you were an account seller/buyer.  I'm not a big respecter of that activity, or gold buying/selling.  It's something I think doesn't belong.

it's a decent game imo.  but, it lacks longevity.  by lvl 30 your character has learned all the weapon skills and the majority of utility skills.  combat gets too repetitive.  heart quests get tiresome,  events become same old,  and there is a lack of goals for you to strive for.  i think Anet did a good job laying the foundation for what could be a great game,  but right now it lacks in some major areas.  namely re-playability and longevity.  luckily it was buy to play so i can log in when i get bored with other games.

show me 1 game that isnt repetitive

old quest system - talk with a guy that have "!" over his head go kill,  gather or talk, come back and turn in quest now repeat it 2000 times or more to reach max level

boring crafting? its the best crafting i saw in mmo to lvl your crafting you dont need to make same item over and over and after you reach next tier make another item over and over

you lvl your crafting by doing discoveries, making same item more than once speed up the process when in other games you craft xxxx items and go afk for 1 hour

heart are the old quests but no they are not tiresome theres alot of these that have different things that go kill, talk or gather something

You really can not help it can you? what do you mean 'likes of these people'? you mean people who are not impressed with your precious? i suggest step away from PC for a while because for someone who is in so love with the game you spend way too much time posting instead of playing.

OP didn't abuse anyone did he?

Actually no.

You'll get filed under expenses/grievances or whatever equivalent their organization may have.

But you'll still count as a +1 in their sales figure.s

This game promised to offer a MMO experience without a sub. That would mean YEARS of gameplay.

It does not.

Why is a refund not in order?

I'm now in the same boat as the OP. I started out as a skeptic, became a believer, and very quickly just found myself painfully bored.

The gameplay in GW2 is quite possibly the best of any MMO to date. WvW is a lot of fun. The classes are interesting even if they are all pretty similar (in my opinion). But something is just missing and I don't know what it is. I want to say some sort of long-term goal, but I'm not sure that is it either. I'm definitely not one of the guys that got to 80 in a week and screamed the game has no content, I work way too much too accomplish that. But once I did hit 80 I just kind of had the same feeling I do with single player games which is "Well, another one down, on to the next"

If GW2 had been a sub-based game I suspect we would have a lesser version of the SWTOR disaster, but fortunately ANet was smarter than that. Which is bizzare to me, because GW2 is an incredible game, but it just feels lacking for some reason. I find myself now way more anxious for games I never would expect to care about, such as The Repopulation and Age of Wushu.

In the meantime I am slumming through free to play again trying to find something captivating :( I will likely still play GW2 from time to time, but it has failed to keep my interest. Happy for everyone who has found a good MMO home though! It's not so easy to do these days.

And your point? I would take the crafting in SWG NGE over the content in any of todays current MMO's. At least it could keep you interested for longer than a month.

SWG NGE had everything that I like in an MMO:

 

1. Deep crafting system

2. Dungeons

3. Exploration

4. Best housing system in any MMO

5. Great space content

6. No grinding unless that's what you wanted to do

"Look  mommie, what is this one doing over there?" "he is living in the past my son, remembering things that never really happened".

sorry, but SWG went total bullshit when they decided to become a wow clone. therefor:

my mmo is a bird! your argument is invalid!

WOW...are you OK? I am not bashing the game at all, but you come on these forums being rude to anyone that doesn't like the game. I only made this thread to maybe help give someone some insight on the game...same as anyone else that discusses a game here.

There are shitloads of people playing the game for over a month and then getting a refund. Anet should say "Fuck you" to those people..
