^^ Thanks for clearing this up for me! I am Level 49 and I have not the slightest idea, what's the big story behind it! (But I have to admit, I could'nt bring myself to play my personal story any further, as the Asura storyline must be the most boring storyline ever.
Personally I think, of all MMOs I played so far, Guild Wars' PvE-Part is one of the worst.
But as I see it, it isn't the fault of the game. I don't think that A-Net broke any promises. Its simply my fault! I should have read the announcements before investing my 50 bucks.
Obviously not. Maybe on the surface it might seem that way, but clearly those type of players are not understanding the depth available (don't care to try and understand), and are burning out very quickly, as evidenced by threads like this one. GW2 is designed for gamers interested in depth, a living world, exploration, and self-initiated social play. In other words, the journey for the journey's sake. It's certainly not going to be for everyone.
have fun in a new mmo or whatever ? post#100491123123 about GW2 this and that.
Just stop the posts with the mindless i got bored,no end game, leveling to hard,WvW queue to long.
Do a search next time before posting this crap again, saves moderators time and internet space.
Well while that sounds fantastic, from my own experience the journey doesn't really lead anywhere except to level 80. If there was more significance to it than just a tick on a checklist somewhere that would be different. But to ME just running about, looking in every nook and cranny, figuring out jumping puzzles for vistas, finding hidden chests, gathering more skill points to unlock skills of which I'll only ever use a few, gets boring just as quickly as re-running the same boring ass raid dungeons in the vain hope of looting another pointless peice of shinny gear, which you can then use to run the same boring ass raid dungeon ... well you get the point.

Game is unchanging and repetitive. What's fun at 5 becomes tedius at 35.
More and more people are starting to feel this each day now. So that "millions" number, which I doubt is actually that big, It's shrinking by the day.
You do not care yet you keep bashing everyone who dares to criticise your beloved game labeling them as trolls.
Fanboysm at its finest.
I agree,
Exactly. The game is a journey for the journey's sake. At level 80...the journey just continues just the same way as before level 80. For those who truly enjoy and savor what the game offers, that's great news.
That's clearly not your cup of tea. There's tons to do, just not the stuff you personally prefer. Nothing wrong with that, but recognize it for what it is. Being all about the journey doesn't make it a bad game, in fact, it's exactly the type of game (or at least the type of game design philosophy) that many of us have been waiting for for a long time.
It's also very different from games which are shallow or lack content and things to do over the long term. "A bunch of stuff I don't like to do" is very different from "nothing to do". Hopefully you see that.
While this kind of post from the OP is to be expected, I cannot help but be surprised be it.
Before GW2 released, the OP was hyping TSW, while slagging off GW2 every chance they got.
Why did the OP even bother buying GW2, never mind playing it?
How could they drag themselves away from TSW long enough to make it through GW2 character creation, never mind get out of the starter zone?
A creative person is motivated by the desire to achieve, not the desire to beat others.
Oh, now we need ever changing games.
Nope, the game is actually more fun at level 35 than at level 5, and it is even better at level 60 and event better at level 80.
150 hours and counting.
Will start soon leveling other professions now that I've all my char slots.
Currently playing: GW2
Going cardboard starter kit: Ticket to ride, Pandemic, Carcassonne, Dominion, 7 Wonders
Sorry but for me the journey for the journey's sake is just as pointless as just raiding for the sake of raiding. At the end of the day its just mental masturbation.
And whether a game gives me a bit OR a bunch of things to do, niether hold any meaning for me if they have zero impact on the game world and it might as well not matter if I'm even there.

I'm a fan of Rift, I enjoy the game, but yeah, NPC dialog is beyond sescription.
1.8 brought some of the worst NPC dialog to come across a game I have ever seen.

Exactly. The point in playing MMORPGs over other games is that you have a persistant world but if you cant influence that world in any meaningful way then way have it persistant?
Games like GW 2 are fundamentally built wrong because they don't realise that the whole point of MMORPGs, over other games, is the fact that you are sharing a virtual world with others and why that is exciting is because you should be able to take part in changing it. In GW 2 you simply cannot. sPvP changes nothing and WvWvW changes very little, some slight bonuses and that is all. Same with Dynamic Events, the outcome changes very little and just goes around in endless circles.
My gaming blog
The only people who are burning out on the game are those who burn out on EVERY game no matter how polished or fun. GW2 is by no means perfect but it is immersive and incredibly fun, especially with friends. Tired of DE's, nope not yet. In fact I try to never pass one up. What do you want quest hubs where NOTHING ever changes except the NPC text dialog. Honestly this game is not for hardcore traditional grind until you puke game players. There are games out there for yuo. But then you'll just complain there too because in the end you are burned out, and probably need to go outside.
What you want is a sandbox...
The point of a MMORPG is not necessarily to change the persistent world. It's clear themeparks are not for you, they are for others however, please respect that others like different things.
I might also add, why are all the sandboxers playing a themepark? You know you won't like it.
