Why so much complaining? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

One problem with replaying, IMO, is the lack of monster variety. You see the same monsters in pre-searing as you do in ascalon, as you do in the desert. You see many of the same monsters, just with a different level and maybe different color of skin. Now after seeing the same monsters so much, it begins to get a little boring. If there were more exciting monsters, maybe I would be more motivated to replay the game.

I don't think you guys understand what I'm trying to say.

I've ALREADY gotten my moneys worth and I may have another 100 hrs before as you guys say, the game "ends" or boredom sets in.

But that's not the point of my post. If I play another 10 min. today and decide to remove the game from my hard drive, I'll consider it 50 bucks well spent. That's all Im trying to say.

And as someone said, this really is just a co-op mode of a single player RPG, at least if you're not interested in PvP which I'm not. Is the PvP game good? I don't know and don't care. But as far as the PvE gameplay, I think it succeeds which pleasantly surprised me as I'd heard that the meat of the game was PvP.

As far as comparing a single player game to an MMORPG or whatever this game is, why not? Money is money. I spent 50 bucks on KOTOR when it came out and played it for about 15 hrs. before becoming bored with the combat system. I personally thought the game was overrated, but that's just me. I spent 50 bucks on this game and have gotten over 100 hrs so far and enjoyed it. To me it's all about my hard earned cash and what I get for it, not what genre it is.

I only started the post to hear why people would think the game is lacking in content, and I appreciate everyones input. I still contend however, that dollar for dollar this game is a good deal.

Agreed, I mean, I don't think anyone here can even come up with a logical theory why Anet hasn't even remotely tried to address balance issues yet. I mean, are they really waiting on the whole playerbase to leave first?

If I play a game for more hours than how much it costed I'm happy, I've played GW for 390 hours, I'M VERY HAPPY! THis is more than all my other games COMBINED! I dunno why anyone is complaining.... Of course there are some bad things, it's like that with every game, and GW isnt an MMORPG it's an ORPG with player areas basically player hosted, just like the new .hack game that's going to be coming out! You guys should be like, practically bowing to A-net for giving you updates....

I agree with ur post been over pre-searing so many times its not funny but enjoyed it just for fun
Finished the game with one char deleted him and other chars are lvl 20 still heaps to do I try and play as much as possible and still enjoy the game try and make it so we can have a laugh in team missions etc

Really not sure at all about this auction house as will it will do is encourge people buying gold from ebay so in the end its the ones who can buy the most gold will be able to buy and it can be open for abuse by some member upping the bids to keep them up high etc
can see it being another area that will be open for abuse in many ways

I would have to agree with the original post this game is amzing. 49.99 and no fees and I am utterly addicted. So ya i a lowly level 7 who just went post and ya i havent beat the game yet, However I have been playing RPGs since DragonWarrior for the first Nintendo, Not to mention the some 200 plus RPGs I played since then. I DO know what i like and I like this game. the characters you can build, the exploation, everything about it. Yes it has problems in some areas, and yes people bitch thats what people do, But you find me one person, just one person who can tell you that they did not get their 49.99 out of it. I just wanted to agree is all.
