Guild Wars wasn't built to play endlessly. They found out people wanted to, so added titles, but it's still not built to play endlessly. When you are done with it, stop playing - you don't have a monthly fee to keep you playing.

The pve gets boring extremely fast anyways. GW is really truly fun imo when you get a decent guild to play with.

No, guildwars PVE will only be truly fun when you get a full team of heroes to play with. Screw other ppl in the game.

Just because You enjoy party play, doesnt mean that other people do.

Amen to that, though I had tons of fun when I only had Prophecies (which was up until this past Christmas.)

I'm assuming you (OT), are talking about the 330hp VwK build? If you are, are you using max armor to farm? Because you're not supposed to. That may be why it's not working.

The days of making it rich are pretty much gone, at least if you didn't win any of the rare mini pets. I made it rich farming SF greens back when you could get 80k for a rago staff, 70k for a sup abs, 10k for any sup monk rune, 10k for an ecto, etc etc.

Here's a bit of helpful advice: a very easy way of making a moderate amount of gold is to get CoF HM runs. You can watch a movie while someone runs, collect loot and hidden treasures on the way, then your 2 chest drops. I got a r9 Col Scim the other night and turned it around for a quick 40k (as in less than 10 minutes). This way you aren't getting burnt out farming the same thing millions of times, someone else is doing the work.

Not INSANE amounts - but enough to finance the last part that I needed for my FoW.

QFT. That's what's great about GW. I can leave for months at a time without looking back and worrying about being obliged to keep up a special discount subscription for fear of if I come back I'll be punished to pay full price, etc.

And your right when you say GW is not WoW. No it definately isnt. GW is fail, WoW is brilliance.
Lets paraphrase what you said.

I play a terribad game.
I like drugs.
GW is not WoW. It isn't. GW isn't as much of a grind as WoW.
I still troll Guild Wars forums even though I keep complaining about GW.
The logistics of my actions make no sense.


Was I close?

Go for titles such as Legendary Master of the North and grind for all of those titles.

You cant say there is nothing to do when you have the opportunity to get r6 KoaBD because that makes for a ton of shit to do.

1. Obsidian armor looks garbage compared to 15k armor out there and don't say it doesn't.
2. Title grinding is pointless after 10. (You know exactly why)
3. R6 KoaBD is nothing special as I said pointless after grinding after 10...

1 is opinion. It will always be opinion and everyone else's opinion is wrong compared to mine, and since I'm so high above you, your opinion also has to be wrong to you, and mine be more right to you, because I am high above you.

Anyways I like all Obsidian armors and I think 1 million looks more pretty than 100-200k.

2. Not if you want people to awe at your title, which they do.

3. Same as 2.

then itry a few times HM farming.

too my surprise it doesnt work.

i really dont know what i want to do in guild wars.

i was thinking of just pvping for z-keys... but even that gets frustrating.

soo heres my question.

what did YOU do when you found yourself stuck in my position, If you ever were.
i was stuck in granite citadel for 3 months because i had no help at all and could not afford the 10k running fee. i played diablo 2 lod and my ps2 for 3 months.

i got stuck in RoT for 2 months but finally beat it with heroes and henchies.

i normally take breaks from the game and find something else to do. i am currently looking for a new game that will allow me to not care about all the work i put in so i can quit, i doubt this will happen.

PS: Fow armor is noob. LOL J/k, couldnt even keep a straight face.

When there's something new in PvE, I'll go try it, but once that's done, so is PvE for me. The only thing that's keeping me on GW is GvG atm, and if the game balance keeps going as is, I'm really not gonna be riding this dead horse anymore.

When a RL friend of mine started playing GW maybe half a year ago, I gave him some advice how to make money (or should I say...how to not be broke all the time!!). Basically I told him about black/white dyes, when to use expert kits on weapons to salvage rare mats, collector weapons, runes, hero's, the 50hp cesta etc etc.
Now he can play GW without me giving him advice, he now knows how to not be broke all the time...and that matters a lot
He can't get the expensive armors but his male ele looks great in his max normal pyromancer armor dyed plain orange

No idea if this is of any help to you but it's realy important...as long as you spend too much you'll be spending too much time (trying to) farm gold fast without actually doing anything in GW that is (remotely) fun...and in the end games should be about having fun, right?
