I probably wouldnt buy it..

If were going to compare MMO's to single player games,I could easily say games like TES and Fallout type games last you much longer for the price.Ive been playing Fallout 3 alone for about 2 years now.

I used to play EQ,Asheron's Call,Daoc , and a few other MMO's hardcore. I played them for years,not a couple months.

Its based on preference really, my taste of MMO's come from the dawn of the MMO age,not todays standards.

There are exceptions,I think The Secret World is worth the price just by the sheer uniqueness of it.

You mean to say you've played Fallout 3 for 2 years.  Straight?  What in the world have you been doing in it?  There's a lot of content to that game, but not 2 years worth.  Oh, did you mean you played it for a month or two and then went back to it later and played some more off and on for 2 years?  Yea I could see that. 

Fallout 3 does not have 2 years of content in it.  Not even close.  I did absolutely everything there was to do in that game in a month easy, ignoring the story stuff just so I could explore the entirity of it. 

Now if you've been playing on and off for 2 years I get that.  Of course.....you could do that with GW2 as well.  So your point is entirely missed by me.

Does anyone play a game every single day for years when they say they play a game for years? probably not..

Its more likely they go back to it.I'll play Fallout 3 for a couple months,take a break and go back for a couple more.Ive also been fooling around with a lot of mods,which logs me more game time.

so yes,Ive been going back to Fallout 3 for about 2 years. Im actively playing it now.

As for GW2,I havent played it for months and have no urge to return.

Second best 60+ purchase I've ever made.

The first was on a...sensual website for Valentine's Day.

Objectively, I feel that people who purchased on January 28th and beyond will feel much better about the game then those who bought on launch or were waiting 5 years. And I'm one of those who waited.

Just to be clear...I love this game.

I would buy it because it gave me 220 playhours for only 40 euro before i quit it due to the game being boring endgame.

I don't regret pre-purchasing the game. I'd still buy it, and I'd still promote it to like-minded friends.

500 hours since launch plus some 100+ hours in betas/stress tests and still feel I barely scratched the surface of the game.

Not only I don't regret it, i've already spent more than the price box in microtransactions to ifurther mprove my experience in the game.

There is no point to Guild Wars 2 once you hit 80. There is nothing to strive for, nothing that matters, no way to truly progress.

This game needs

-Housing

-All gear is player made and useable in all forms of pvp

-PvP needs to have way more rewards and much more meaning

This is such a beautiful game, so polished, it just has no point. I have no idea how people continue to play 2 weeks after they hit 80. I tried to log back in but there is just no point, there is nothing to do that matters.

Exactly this... I did WvW and Spvp to death, I ran all the 80 dungeons all paths at least once then I said... what now? Been many months since I have logged in.

YES. I would buy it still. I would however council myself to spend nothing in the gem shop, avoid crafting till 80 (maybe forever,) and note which classes rock for the things I like to do while playing and which suck. I'd also develop a betyter gear management plan.

tough question, to go with the obvious as i dont play it anymore NO.

but then agian i did enjoy it for a while and i felt i got my monies worth.

but it is impossable for me to answer a question like this honestly because, hyilogical word thingiy questions are just that.

silly

i cant predict what i would do at any given time because i dont know what i would be thinking then.

ok im getting to complicated and sily for a simple questions so ill play silly bugger instead

the game was fun but i dont play anymore, would i buy it now knowing what i know now, probally not, but do i think it was woreth paying for in the first place yes i do caus ei had fun for several months

If I knew what the game is really about, I probably wouldn't have bothered. It would depend on what competition is on the market. If I recall well, when GW2 came out there wasn't much of anything going on in the market, so it could have been a filler until something decent came out.

I would definitely not have paid full box price for it, though.

Finally, I don't feel alone. Exploring is boring because you always got the same content with some different landscapes. Treasures you may find are boring/useless too and would be considered as farming-hotspots anyway.

I haven't been feeling at all to complete 100% of the map because its one more grindy aspect somehow (like doing those 'innovative' heart-events).

Anyway I've been spending much more time in older mmorpgs because they were challanging. Although they were P2P ... But I still feel that I invested better playing 4 years daoc in a row with small reallife hiatus instead of 60 bucks for one more "login, play 30 mins, logout" game. Well ... At least thats what I've seen in those 3-4 months.
