Loot scaling ---- Worst idea ever thought off. Kinda like rubbing raw meat all over a baby so the pit bull will play with it.

Yup, I just read this single quote, and im now convinced its the game for me:

'Be a lone wolf, a guild leader or even a battlefield commander, in Age of Conan you can become anything you want'

wooot for a traditional RPG with freedom of play.

I would actually believe that to be the third worst idea after:

1) Imbalanced HM
2) Armour Cap
3) Loot Scaling

1)I think the PvE game play is fine, maybe a little stale ATM if you've done most things, but GW:EN is round the corner to fix that.

2)The Armour stacking nerf was a much needed nerf for PvP, the game is balanced for PvP not PvE, the Armour balances effect very little in PvE to be honest and any smart players will just come up with new ways of doing things.

I'm staying here...and oddly enough I have more interest in Guild Wars now than ever.

I plan on playing some Counter-Strike... and oddly I'm still playing Guild Wars alot....and have NOT lost interest like many of you.

Everyones different....but I have no idea how long I'll keep on playing.

Let just wait for the new games to be release.

Waiting list:
SC2 (There will be delay, I am positive)
UT (Too much delay, a delay of 1 year)
Warhammer

uhm, not going anywhere....have 12 toons moving thru all the chapters now and hope to get some of them to the ends before gwen. Though I will say that gwen will probably be the end for me. Gw2 doesnt sound very good for a person who gets sick watching some of the other games online (this one did it when I first started as well)....so I will stick in gw1 until I have finished my 14 toons (have 2 starters---one in pre and a para) thru all the chapters as well as sf and such, should take me another 2 years or so.
Its something to do, dont really care about the loot scaling and such----its still just a game in the end.

I'm fine with Guild Wars for now, but it definitely is not as fun as it used to be. After I get tired of GW:EN I don't know what I'll do, but Aion looks like it'd be an interesting game. I'll probably try that. And the big three Wii games coming out at the end of the year, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Bros.:Brawl. Especially Brawl.

Hmm...I never ever thought I'd consider anything other than GW once it tore me away from Morrowind, but I'm considering going back to Elderscrolls where "I" can play the role of ANET, lol. The only reason I haven't gotten Oblivion thus far was because of Factions and Nightfall coming out so quickly, and the hero system gave me a renewed interest in missions I hated doing before with PuGs.

But as of now when I think about playing GW I have no desire whatsoever to finish Nightfall, and I am burnt out on farming (Unless they give me inscriptions in Factions and Tyria, then I might go back for some items, lol.)

Currently, instead of playing GW, I've been enjoying RL. Playing real games with my 2 daughters. I found out I acutally like to read and have blown through Narnia, LotR, some cheesy books, and just finished Eragon today and am already a 1/4 through Eldest. Oh and yeah...coming here to see what everyone is mad about "today", lol.

All in all I still like GW, I mean for as long as everyone has been playing GW and it's releases. Add up what some of you people would have paid playing some of the other subscription games. You still come out ahead, wether price is an issue or not. The only other game that gave me that much bang for my buck was Morrowind. MMMM....Oblivion.

X.x I'm not going anywhere either...

The game needs to be fixed. GW 2 is Anet's last hope. Hope they don't screw it up.

GW is still ok, but it used to be epic. Now it's a struggling, sick game. Not dying, but sick. RA and HA are the only things active in PvP. TA died before Factions came out, and HA died in october of 2006. Great, fun, PUGs sadly died around NF with heroes.

Recently, I've seen some rebirth in the Prophecies Campaign, and NF is decently active. It's still a bad situation though. GW was so much better before. Anet sort of lost sight of where they heading. I see why people have left.

Good thing I can still find something good to do in GW. Guilds are the only thing keeping the game together. Guildless people are in the worst situation.

P.S. Oblivion FTW. That game never gets broken Without it I'd be as depreesed as the rest of the whiners here on GW Guru. Game-wise, that is.

Definately Starcraft 2. And maybe if one of the many MMO's comming out catches my interest, I'll look into that. But I'm not so much into computer games now as I used to be.

Im re-doing the whole SC campaign now to get familiar with the story/units again in preparation for SC2.

I'm keeping an eye on Tabula Rasa and Starcraft 2. I'm also interested in the upcoming Spore, and, believe it or not, have moved back to Sims 2 in a small way. Apart from games, I've been far busier IRL lately, and simply haven't had as much time as I used to to play GW. My guild has dwindled recently, and the people who are left don't log on as much either.

My necro used to be my "go to" character, but since SR was initially changed, she's seen almost no action. Frankly, this game just isn't very much fun anymore.

I'm still waiting for Hellgate: London so I can possibly have something to play with my gf.

Looking for games after GW, I ended up playing EvE which she doesn't like and she's playing WoW which I hate.
I'm also doing all the (PS2) GTA "Stories" sequels.

Quake Wars sounds great so will be giving that a try too.

I’ve tried to leave GW, but always seem to come back.

Played & Finished

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion plus expansions
HL2 and all its counter parts
C&C 3
NWN2
Civilization 4 + Expansions
Hitman: Blood Money
Prey
RCT 3 + expansions
FEAR + expansion
Supreme Commander

I think I am done with FPS games they seem to have lost there rhythm of late. Even Bioshock looks like Doom 3 tacked on graphics, it does not warrant the scariness like Clive Barkers: Undying. Don’t even get me started on Halo 3; I just don’t care anymore after the last one. Even some of the MMO’s that I have gone through of late, including (I actually tried) WoW: The Burning Crusade, and still nothing. Of course I defiantly not feeling any SOE MMO’s games; I think they are starting to hit rock bottom.

I might be interested in the following in no particular order:

The new Alien RPG by Obsidian & Sega
Quake Wars: Enemy territory – The Wolfenstein version never let me down.
Indiana Jones: Lucasarts
The Witcher
Star Wars: Force Unleashed
GW: Eye of the North
Finally I would like to dedicate this space to Knight of the Old Republic 3; whenever you get done I will be waiting.

I can't say "quitting" is the right word. Of all the things people complain about and rage quit over you will not find another single MMO that does it better. In fact, unless you are a hardcore player you get screwed over MUCH worse - if they nerf your build in GW it takes a whole few minutes to change to another even if you have to go unlock skills. Other MMO's you sometimes flat out loose the character (no re-rolls) or it rolls back months and months of work as a casul/semi-hardcore player, let alone when work has me where I can do nothing more than casual. About 2-3 months after the release of each chapter the "I'm leaving" threads and discussions in game always start up.

Mostly I've done nearly everything I want to do and have nearly everything I want. I probably have about 3 or 4 more hours to max the sunspear and Lightbringer ranks, I think I lack capping around 100 skills for a full skill hunter title, and I finally crossed the 300k in the bank mark - but there is no incentive to have either title done before GW2 (because of the monument system) and that's probably enough money for whatever armor I want to purchase from GWEN. I figure even at the rate I'm currently playing that I should have three protector titles on top of the others.

I've been playing quite a bit of Oblivion and am looking at some dungeon crawlers (older ones - I'm cheap unless it is a really good game). I had, umm, "tested" Titan Quest some time ago and it's priced right now, Dungeon siege 2 is in the same class. When Starcraft 2 comes out that should be good enough to spring full price for. And finally I still fire up some of the older games I enjoyed in my younger days (the Wizardry series, Betrayal at Krondor, and the last three Ultima's). Hmm, it has also been a while since I played any of the DnD games - may bring one of them back out.

Edit: I'll probably have another go with GW with the PvE only skills - we will see tomorrow.
