GW2 bored me also until a few days ago. It took Necromancer to get me hooked on it.

I never gave up on it, and now I am finally enjoying it.

Sometimes it is the professions chosen to play. I can understand this fully - I have my Ranger at lvl 80 without any deaths - by exploring and fighting - left PS alone at lvl 50.

this too. I played Guardian. Enjoyed my guardian, because I wanted a Paladin in GW2 anyway. once I maxed him out and unlocked all my skills, I wasnt going to item grind this time like in other MMO. I refuse. I went to leveling alts. And none of them had my interest because most of them couldnt play a equal support/healing role like my guardian could, while also having equal option for defense, as well as Melee option. Ele so far has been my go to class as well as my Warrior. Bored. I was leveling Mesmer as well. those three are the only characters I have besides my main, over the level 10 mark. I am getting bored on my engineer. exploring easily leads to areas with mobs that are too powerful and cant be avoided due to server side glitches in the animation/hit detection.

Huh? You unlocked all your classes skills at 30? and maxed him out? You lost all credibility.

BTW this is the guy that was called into question a month ago for posting on a secondary account to boost his threads.

While MMOExposed does make a lot of threads, the lv30 thing was in reference to he's alts.  He details this in the first post, so I guess this is in reference to he's main.  Lets not be negative now eh? ;)

Yeah I don't think GW2 is a game thats really setup for gear grinding, (it's great as a casual experience), which makes you wonder where it'll go in terms of this new Laurel stuff and the Ascended marlarky.  Clearly it needs some sustainable revenue model to be long term successful, what that is, and whether they'll have to introduce resentful elements to people still there, I don't know.

I ended up deleting my lv76 Ele and have one of everything now.  I had stopped playing after the first week but as I have the time now I'm going to give it a try again.  I'm enjoying the Thief but most of the other classes I'm not sure about yet.  I doubt it'll take till lv30 to make my mind up about them though ;)

Aerowyn I have to say this time you're wrong. The game is no longer what it was when it first launched. Sure it was like the way you described in the beginning for the first two months, but ever since Nov it's not been the same. You see they used the excuse of bots to implement the breaking of loot in the open world, and to implement DR a well known mechanic that's caused so much contraversy in the past in other companies that have used it that those other companies have lost so many players they had to shut themselves down do to lack of revenue.

The first month one could do anything one wanted to in order to get geared to at the time the max was Exotic gear. One could craft exotics because rares were ample enough as drops in dragon events and meta events where one had to destroy armies of undead. But before they added Ascended gear they decided it would be a good idea to make loot almost impossible to get in the open world (as opposed to dungeons)

Jan 28th was hoped to be the patch where they'd finally listened to the fanbase and fixed the loot issues, that did not happen. Instead of fixing problems like using a double RNG for T6 mats for example, they decided to add yet another RNG bag to the store for the new laurel system. Instead of fixing the loot from Veterans and Champions they decided to increase it only slightly enough to get greens.

The game is still a grind. Right now if the game remained unchanged for the rest of the games life, one would have to spend 10 - 16 months to grind out enough laurels to get the ascended gear to gear up 1 toon. And God help you if you have Alts. Especially if you want to gear those alts. 

Ascended gear gives advantages in both WvW and in the Fotm style dungeons which means that if you want to see the next content, you need to make sure you are as geared as possible (the next content in dungeons) and you need to make sure you have the resistance to agony, which means you HAVE to have the gear you need to progress. I'm sorry to say my friend that the days of the freedom of choice in progression in GW2 are over, someone's gotten ahold of the steering wheel and turned the dials towards greed.

Wow, imagination really plays tricks on you.

Tell ya what. Leave GW2 alone and come back in a year. If what you say is right you can bash it all you want.

But until then please refrain yourself from imaginary "problems".
