Well.. at least OP is original. For a troll.

I don't plan on quitting and I've been playing this game on an off for five years now, I've racked up a depressing 1,072 hours.

GW has shifted like... 4 million units, which is great even for a MMO. Even after five years I'd reckon about 2,000-3,000 people still play it regularly, that is pretty impressive.

LOL j/p j/p... But srsly, though... @ OP: Anet is very successful. If they weren't successful, they wouldn't have been able to fund GW2, they certainly wouldn't be able to keep GW1 afloat, and we wouldn't even be here posting on these forums because they'd be dead, or almost non-existent in our memory banks.

In summary, Anet is successful!

No

And hey look this thread got 2 pages in a few hours. You have been proven wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Selling over 6 million copies of GW I would call successful. I would call Guild Wars Beyond as new content. And high end equipment? That game mechanic has been like that since the beginning and was never going to change. People still bought tons of copies of the game. So that point makes no sense. Micro transactions are the future of MMOs. Like it or don't does not matter. Live with it.

Luminarus · Jun 06, 2010, 11:30 AM // 11:30

5 years since release and NOW your posting that it isnt successful. The fact that people are still playing, it 5 years after release is enough to tell you that youre wrong and it was very successful. However it cannot maintain the update level that wow can due to its free to play.

Guild Wars 2 will be out a lot sooner than 2 years, I assure you of that.

As for the blatant lie of no new map content in a "patch".... yeh, that's right, blatant lie.

Proven. Wrong.

10/10, to be honest.

This thread should be renamed:

Why OP isn't successful.

Gift3d · Jun 06, 2010, 12:00 PM // 12:00

You're ass backwards and completely wrong at least twice in every single sentence you typed. Even the title.

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're trying really hard to troll, but really i just don't want to have my heart broken by thinking there is a player that jaded and retarded in my guild wars.

It's either unique or it isn't, very unique is stupid, just like this thread

Asking how I play the same thing year after year is like asking why I still play super mario 3. I do it cuz its fun.

I said fair for everyone, not everyone equal, so it's actually capitalism
If you work hard and or if you're very talented, you (can) get lots of stuff
If you don't, you'll probably end up with nothing (or close to nothing)
Luck is also a factor, ofc

GW has been a successful game - it's not a matter of opinion, it's a simple fact.

Same here man. I just read the thread title and replies.

Guild Wars is a very unique MMO. Besides being free to play (kinda) It also introduced some very unique mechanics and is probably the only game to have the level capped at 20. For almost 3 years now after the last expansion, NOTHING NEW WAS RELEASED. Almost all MMOs have new content coming every month or so. Guild wars NEVER had a patch to add in game content, only fixing bugs, buffing/nerfing skills, and sometimes adding events. I ask myself how is it possible that so many people still do uw and fow all day long for over 3 years without nothing new. The PvP however which is quite better then a lot more other games still lives but is very problematic too. Instead of having tiers in the High end pvp and allowing new players to achieve ranks and get in the circle, Hero's Ascent and Sadly even the kodex arena are only "open" for ranked people, but in order to achieve such rank one must PvP and win in those same areas. How can he do so if he isn't ranked? He can't. Which is why the high end PvP is a closed club.
Another problem with the game is the equipments. The moment you reach level 20, sure you can buy some better looking gear for 60 times the price, but other than some runes and insignias (which are too easy to acquire if you ask me) most people have the same gear aspects and there is almost no difference between someone good and someone bad. No Diversity. Don't get me wrong I hate MMOs where if your gear is bad you are bad, but guild wars took the opposite to another level.
Another problem I find with guild wars is the way you make transactions, You actually have to waste your time in Kamadan with 100 more people trying to sell their stuff HOPING someone will see your line and actually buy what you offer, usually it never happens. And no this forum isn't an alternative when you have to wait 2 weeks to find a buyer.
Also, you are only given 8 slots for characters (considering you have all campaigns) while there are 10 classes. And you always want to have at least 1 PvP char for testing. You end up with 7 slots of characters and once they all reach level 20 you probably wouldn't delete them. So how could you try a mesmer? or perhaps a paragon? (don't take it personally people who actually play these classes). To actually do so you would have to pay money for more characters. Why is that? because nc soft's sales were dropping after 5 years obviously so they needed something new, something that would actually sell. So instead of paying for the game every month you pay when you want for stuff you want, fair enough? No. A good mmorpg never gives actual game advantages to people who pay more money, there are many MMOs that make you pay money for those advantages (mostly free to play ones) and they SUCK.

Without new content, high end equipments with advantages over low end equipments, better ways to sell and buy, I believe that the people who still didn't quit playing will quit soon.

I agree with EVERYTHING here.... LOL jk, I've actually played this game.

I would like to live in a capitalism you mentioned... Unfortunately it is far from fair.

XD now we just need the gaga twins, gaile, regina, martin to completely prove this thread wrong.
back on topic: maybe the OP misunderstoof GW i've seen blog posts saying GW isn't an mmorpg because it isn't really online, though actually all instances and everything are played from an online server. and well yeah you wouldn't believe the rubbish i've seen that can easily be proven wrong XD
