Default Lets have a talk.... Why do you play GW right now?

I've been thinking, as I've been progressing through the game I find there is less to do for me. I end up giving people trivial runs through the game or missions for little or no cost at all. I go to Ascalon and give weapons away. I also like to buy and sell stuff when I get bored of it. Farming is fun sometimes, but it's lost its zaz...

I dunno, I'm lookin for something new to do. What do you guys do with your GW time?

Oh I also like to talk, rant, and gossip.

Let me know...

Carnage.

I did that already.. I'm not quiting or raging, i'm just seeing what others do.

"If you're not having fun with the game anymore, just take a break. If you're anything like me, you'll be itching to play again within a month or two.

Or just do something that'll keep you interested. Join a new guild. Buy a new armor set. Things like that have always worked for me."

I still have some fun, I'm just looking to see if I missed anything out there that someone does that sounds fun.. That's all this is. I've done all of those as well and they do work for sure.

Note:

Thanks for the overwhelming responses, i'm enjoying reading these. Common themes seem to be, PvP, relaxing with a good old slaying, Chatting, flaming, and afk'ing. Keep em coming. It's good to remember why we spend time playing a game.

Based on the way I play, I'm only a little over 50% of the way through NM.

I figure that I have more than enough to do before GW2 (or D3) comes out.

I don't play, I just stalk forums, create builds, and occasionally log on to not get kicked out of my guild :P

GW always becomes so boring once I hit level 20 PvE wise that I tend to fade in and out when major skill balances come around. Mainly due to the fact that the only thing I have left to do is beat the latter half of the campaigns, which doesn't take long, and grind PvE skill titles, which will HOPEFULLY get easier with the comming balances, as they stated they were looking at PvE only skills.

One can hope, anyway, that they don't nerf these skills to hell in the process.

Try to not get bored while getting my monk through NF.
Tried HB monking in FoW NM (yes NM) Ursan group. Boring as hell I gotta tell ya...

Also trying to come up with new cool casual builds for my Rt to use. And while not doing that, I explore Cantha with him (hit 80% today).
Or having bizzare conversations with my guild mates hehe...

I still play because of TAM, and killing shit is fun. It's even better when done with guildies.

GvG, playing with real people (Mainly TAM) and AB.

PvE seriously bores me shitless when it's not with real people.

AB/RA/TA.

PvE is kinda boring now, and I don't have the motivation to organize higher-end PvP stuff.

Ok that is downright hilarious. And rock on. I try to stay out of local chat but man it is so tempting to rail on the things people say.

Should be called FaceGuild or MyGuildSpace half the time.

Play GW? Who needs easypeasy GW when you have lol in your face Ninja Gaiden 2 and DIE YOU STUPID PLAYER AND SUFFEEER Ninja Gaidens on SNES emulator (my good old SNES is too old for my plasma screen ;d)? I mean, sure, I can bore myself to death playing pve or getting frustrated in RA, but getting frustrated to death on console games is ftw.

But if I do ENTER GW ('cause I hardly play anymore), I usually RA. Or aggro the living guild dudes in our alliance, like Tyla and others.

Been playing for two years. Completed everything but Factions. Ok here's where I sound like a pageant contestant:

I like
- joking with guildmates in guild chat
- working on titles
- Alliance Battling

I don't play a lot during a week. I also have 9 characters I frequently jump between so I haven't been grinding out the game using just one profession and one character.

I take time off (a week or two) so I don't get totally burned out too.

Oh and there are still newbees out there it is fun to show the game to.

I don't really 'play' much any more. Leave it running as a kind of very expensive wallpaper.

Simple: I just don't play right now. I log on once or twice a day to chat with friends, else I have other games.

Titles kept me in the game for a while, reached R5 KOABD and then stopped. Just can't bother farm for now...
