Play? fun? GW?

No.

I use to play for fun. Now I log in and I'm insta bored.

Now I live under my bridge on teh guru.

I play because it's fun. I use my own builds and prefer to play with a few people I know. Or, I like to solo farm. I'm happiest when I don't have to join a PUG, but, even then, occasionally, the group is really excellent and it is satisfying to finish a Dungeon or Mission with a group of strangers.

I often change my focus. Currently, I'm maxing out titles. I have 7 currently.

When GW changes I adapt to the change and go on. I have no problem with nerfing certain builds, etc. Each area of GW is different and has it's own set of issues that need to be worked out.

The only thing I can't stand is how the Elite areas have been taken over by idiot Ursans. I tried it a few times and hated the group I was with. I wish GW would nerf the whole concept and call it a failed experiment. They've had no problem getting rid of certain solo farming builds that I liked. Ironically, even the Ursan build requires a small amount of skill. Most Ursans I've grouped with have no clue as to how to use the skills correctly. I've had friends that I've done missions with say I should do Ursan more because it takes half the time to finish a mission. This is funny to me. Why do I want to race through a mission as fast as I can? If I'm having fun I want it to last. It reminds me of a job that no one likes. They try to finish work as fast as they can and then bolt because they hate the work and the place where they have to work.

I play for fun but i mostly get bored if i do thinks more then twice or once

Titles dont really interest me like i need to achieve some title to move on in the game but its funny to have those protector titles mainly cause you then get the feeling that you completed a certain campain :P

Kusandaa · Apr 10, 2008, 08:14 PM // 20:14

I play for my kinda fun; titles mostly. I'm farming cash for titles, HFFFing or vanquishing... and I enjoy it.

Farming for cash, usually short solo farms I can pick up and drop easily; I have to AFK a lot so I don't generally want to feel like a leecher in areas like DOA. Else, I'll use Ursan simply because it's the fastest for PUGs (because I AM NOT spending 4 hours+ at once with PUGs after I set their bars only to have a retard messing up a run at last quest...), in FoW and DoA mostly.

It's a game, of course I play for fun.

Shayne Hawke · Apr 10, 2008, 08:30 PM // 20:30

Going for titles is pretty fun for me when I have sufficient time to do them. I try not to pressure myself into thinking anymore that I can vanquish lots of areas under an hour each.

The most fun I have in GW is during the Gamer weekends. That's probably my favorite title to "grind", as the festival games are usually lots of fun and easy for me to win.

The only PvP I do for fun is solo PvP, like FA, or JQ, or RA - basically anywhere where individual effort can be useful in team settings.

I have sometimes done Ursan groups for Norn point farming, but it's somewhat boring, and I wouldn't consider doing it in any serious case. Farming is still fun for me if I can pull it off most times without dying, and I'm making a pretty good profit.

The OP makes it sound as if only the things that he considers fun are fun. I like title chasing. It's fun to me. Whether it is to anyone else or not.

I title chase, I dabble in PvP, I vanquish, I dance in the guild hall, I do elite areas with allies, I go along with guildies on missions or quests, I tell dumb jokes on alliance chat, I read the forums, I complete HM missions... It's all fun. Ursan is fun too -- I usually monk so the times when I get to Ursan seeing yellow numbers is all kinds of fun.

Articus Red · Apr 10, 2008, 08:38 PM // 20:38

for fun ftw

but yeah i do. I don't do titles, I mean I wouldn't mind doing them, but its not my thing. I just play to play. My goal is to try and get each set of elite armor for my primary, well of course the armor that I like

StormDragonZ · Apr 10, 2008, 08:40 PM // 20:40

I consider the following "fun" when playing GW:

-doing missions
-doing quests
-capping elite skills
-collecting minis
-random killing of enemies for no purpose except collecting drops, selling them to the merchant and earning gold and possible faction points if I'm playing in Factions
-collecting green drops (right now, it's hammers)

Concise Version: I like to actually do something that isn't farming.

Tombs is not PvP.

I don't play for fun. I play so that I can stay in the Jaina Malthus fan club

Lagg · Apr 10, 2008, 09:01 PM // 21:01

Played for fun.

I refuse to play until they fix PvE. Not that they ever will.

And I get to spend more time with my family.

*Darcy* · Apr 10, 2008, 09:20 PM // 21:20

@OP - but that's just your idea of fun. We have 4 mil accounts out there with owners and their idea of fun.

We are all different. That's why we don't all listen to the same music, wear the same clothes and eat the same food.

On Topic -

I did EoTN Asura title for my mesmer and warrior armors. The rest are climbing as I play in that area, but I am not farming points.

I take Ursan but usually never remember to use it.

PvP - don't do it.

Farming for gold - don't do it. I make enough just playing the game with 7 active PvE characters (other 3 are mules).

Zahr Dalsk · Apr 10, 2008, 09:39 PM // 21:39

Eh, these days I've found I actually enjoy the game again, to a degree, mainly be rolling new characters and trying random stuff. Currently working on a warrior, and having more fun than I've had in ages on Gw.

Buster · Apr 10, 2008, 09:53 PM // 21:53

I always play for fun with hoping there are challenging moments along the way. If something is too easy I find it extremely boring.

Sir Seifus Halbred · Apr 10, 2008, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Of course i play for fun, i mainly PvP now. I don't care for titles or farming as much as i do to play for fun. Of course i still farm on occassion but i don't play the game just to farm.

sagilltwins · Apr 10, 2008, 10:58 PM // 22:58

i like how Ursan got its own category

Courage! · Apr 11, 2008, 10:33 AM // 10:33

if i knew i wasnt gonna have fun in the game i wouldnt have bought it would i?

bhavv · Apr 11, 2008, 10:52 AM // 10:52

7 heroes would make the game fun again for me, regardless of all the other crap that has ruined GW.

I used to have immense fun in GW before all the changes I mentioned in my earlier post. I loved doing everything in the game, from missions, to farming, to elite areas and the occasional PVP.

Now every major change that Anet made has ruined everything that I once enjoyed when I bought the game.

Clarissa F · Apr 11, 2008, 10:58 AM // 10:58

Mmmm.....Conan....

I play for fun. This means that I'm being drawn to PvP, as the asshat quotient is just too much for me in PvE.

That said, I'll be uninstalling in May. Skipping a few lattes a month is worth it to play Conan. You can see where the money goes with that game.
