People have to understand that things like skills are going to get changed if they see a large spike in activatity. If you don't find the game a challenge anymore or boring go buy another one.

Disagree with first one, agree with second one.

Why would they try to keep it running if they have their money already? sales drop, they don't care anymore.

And, yes, they will fix alot of bugs in GW2 that are in GW1. that's why they haven't fixed anything in GW1, to create the hype that GW2 is going to be so great, because it isn't GW1 and all it's problems. It's why GW is in such bad shape right now.

There are tons and tons of threads that state exactly what I did. I know this. But I have a solution, and reasons for said solution. If I had made a thread simply stating "Let's boycott GW2" it would have been /deleted, because it would have been pointless. I have my concerns about the game, and more importantly, I have a potential solution. I am not QQing. I'm offering a solution, take it or leave it.

Edit: I could just as easily say "you all are f***** stupid for not seeing what Anet is doing/will do to you with GW2", but I won't. Because that is pointless.

Please explain how a boycott is a solution? A successful boycott bring a problem to the attention of the groups invloves as well as the rest for the world. But what exactly do you suggest once you have thier attention? That is the truly difficult thing to answer becasue like I said in my previous post, you can not make everyone happy.

Siirius Black · Jul 31, 2008, 06:20 PM // 18:20

Complains, complains, complains....

Save the complains, I think all of us have heard/read all of them.
Because Ursan is easy, because the permasin, because I dont have any money, because I have a lot....

we are here in GW to wait for what we expect to be a better game in GW2. Anet knows this and that's why they dont want to disappoint us. So I can live with a little waiting instead of getting something not worth my money.

Your solution is as simple as to leave GW and go to antoher game.

Good bye to you and good luck.

Tiny Killer · Jul 31, 2008, 06:20 PM // 18:20

I'm ready to buy GW2 when it is released.

ruskiy_soldat · Jul 31, 2008, 06:21 PM // 18:21

Whats wrong with you people, if the game sucks don't play it. If you're still playing you either think it doesn't suck or you're incredibly stupid. Are you unhappy with the way guild wars is going? Do you feel that venting on forums contributes to the state of guild wars in any way? Also the only guild wars areas that were ever challenging were DoA and UW, the rest of the elite areas required very little forethought and planning to do properly. Go pvp more kthx.

your solution has no relation to your problem.

Kakumei · Jul 31, 2008, 06:22 PM // 18:22

I dunno about you guys, but I'm probably gonna wait until they show us more about GW2 to decide whether it's for me.

Sure, Anet let a game slide into stagnation, but so what? It's not an MMO. They don't really need to make sure it stays fresh and interesting for poopsockers. They did, however, make a game that I thoroughly enjoyed for three+ years, so I have enough faith in them to say that I'm willing to at least wait and see what they have up their collective sleeve.

pumpkin pie · Jul 31, 2008, 06:23 PM // 18:23

lets boycott wall mart, they make more money and are bad for small businesses...

nah, be serious, if you want to boycott, stop playing the game

i won't be carrying a sign standing beside you thou. sorry.

2) I'd bet that the fact that limited resources on gw1 is what took sf so long to be fixed...

Or that maybe, they wanted the ecto economy to tank, so one of the main reasons for playing w/o EotN would be gone.

3) They have already said they are looking at ursan, as they told us beforehand they were examining sf, are you incompetent? Or are you just mad because you and your "elitism" can be outdone by anyone now?

Too little, too late. by the time Ursan gets nerfed, GW2 will be out.

4) You don't pay for this game monthly, and there was never a guaruntee there would be constant updates. In fact most of the weekly updates to WoW are little things that mean nothing. At least their updates are meaningful.

I believe i also posted that was a semi-valid point, you get what you pay for.

5) If you want more difficulty, try to figure out how to Hero solo DoA w/o using ursan or shadow form. Do that and I'll be impressed.

Because, you know, MMORPG's are all about playing by yourself.

6) If you're so mad and annoyed about everything, take the road that I and others have, do not buy gw2

Or, instead of running away from the problem, propose a solution to it. Noone has to agree with it, but that's my thoughts. Just trying to see who else feels this way.

I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me. A simple /unsigned will suffice, not "OMG u are a NOOb gfto and stfu".

ajc2123 · Jul 31, 2008, 06:27 PM // 18:27

I had fun with the campaigns, and guild wars was my first mmorpg. Despite all the crap I dealt with including farming nerfs due to HM and loot scaling and everything, It was way more fun than the other mmo's I tried shortly after. Anet has had its downs, but for me it was mostly up's and they have been loyal to my needs. (Making the BMP available for purchase for instance)

So no, I refuse to boycott gw2 because of a QQ'er who thinks they aren't one.

Honestly, its almost a f2p except for the box price so I never expected something to hold my interest for more than 2 years.

Can't wait for this to close

Fried Tech · Jul 31, 2008, 06:27 PM // 18:27

I don't understand the logic in trying to organize a boycott on a game that won't even come out for another 1-2 years..
If you said, "if they do not address our concerns with the next big update lets organize a 2 day boycott of guild wars 1" THEN you might have been able to sway me. This comes off as a glorified qq thread

Miss Puddles · Jul 31, 2008, 06:27 PM // 18:27

doesn't appear that many others feel this way. close QQ thread please.

Ariena Najea · Jul 31, 2008, 06:28 PM // 18:28

If you're not having fun playing the game, go play something else.

Give your account to a friend!

N1ghtstalker · Jul 31, 2008, 06:28 PM // 18:28

this thread is full of QQ
wo wait, making money = bad? guess what dude, you need money or you can go live in the gutter
this thread is seriously fail
just cuz GW1 has crappy updates doesn't mean GW2 is for the chop IMO

nightwatchman · Jul 31, 2008, 06:29 PM // 18:29

Perhaps if GW1 has been ruined so much you should start by boycotting that?

Gregslot · Jul 31, 2008, 06:29 PM // 18:29

1) You, sir, are stating the obvious. THE WORLD SPINS AROUND INTEREST. It is interesting for company to make money, it is interesting for you to play a good game, therefore you are complaing, it is interesting to me to do some stuff, therefore i do it. Nothing new here.

2) Shadowform had nothing to do with ECTOS. First of all, the game skill engine does not spin around farming a single item. They changed it so that assassins could mantain it, since there is still some counters to it (traps, aoe, touch skills). They did not counted with ecto farm, this happened because the comunity found a way to do so and exploited it. The buffs did not involved ectos. You are dead wrong and have nothing to prove otherwise.

3) Yes Ursan is a problem, but as Regina said "Some think its overpowered, some find it fun". They cant just take out the fun of some players in order to give fun to others, its like a mother taking out a toy of one son to give it to another. There are many aspects that involve this. As said before, a simple change to one skill affects players, because they like to have their own build, their own skills, builds that they carefully created or got used to (if looked at wiki) and skills that they carefully choosed. Changing this frustrates these players (since many players are not hardcore or veterans players to simply know why they did it and know how to compensate these skill loss). They are working on it, i dont know how, but they are, its their job, if they said they are doing it, they are doing it. Wait.

4) They are moving to Gw2. Therefore they are not taking much of their time thinking about how to create a new gaming experience on a old game. They are making GW2 for a reason. Gw1 is NOT THEIR FOCUS RIGHT NOW. So updates and changes WILL TAKE MORE TIME. With less people working on it, it takes more time. Wake up.

5) Yes, with triple necro, ursan and imbagon. So you know what needs a nerf. The problem is that some people do not want challange, they want fun. The same thing i said about ursan goes to these builds.

6) They will give us info when they have enough info to overwhelm us. Just like Diablo3, we all felt excited about it, they want us to feel even more excited so that we can buy THEIR GAME (once again, spinning around an interest).

Get real man! It is not every plyer that has a stack of ectos, so the only players that really care about the ecto prices, are the elite (rich) players. And here are some news-flash for you: they are the great minority.
The great great great sum of players DO NOT care about ecto prices. And guess what, ectos werent designed to become the "ultimate currency" of the game, they BECAME thanks to the players. Ectos has nothing to do with game balance or whatsoever.

And a personal opinion: I find idiotic players that save more than 200 ectos and are still saving it, there is no need to save gold now that they gave a death sentance to GW1, they will not be transfered to GW2, so there is no point of saving it.

See, this is a intelligent post. no flaming, no name calling, but he questioned what I think in a polite, meaningful way.

I believe that if we get a boycott going while GW is still clinging to life, we can use it as blackmail for Anet. If they don't fix GW, we don't buy GW2.

Then why do you even post if you don't expect anyone to agree with you? You are just begging for those type of comments, and you have revieved a good amount so far. This is almost trolling, you know this type of post will start people going apesh*t on you.

prince percilitor · Jul 31, 2008, 06:32 PM // 18:32

ursan is gonna be updated, if it still is as strong as it is now or not, is up to anet
