People who complain are frustrated by actions ArenaNet takes they don't understand, this unfortunately makes their commentary on the matter written poorly due to their emotions leaking into it. They are further frustrated because people read into their emotions more than their legitimate qualms.

This creates the problem that people who feel the need to champion Guild Wars and zealously fling flames at people who have anything negative to say about it is they don't realize that some complainers actually like Guild Wars.

So, both sides have problems expressing themselves and understanding each other due to their emotions and the general clumsiness of human interaction.

Such is life.

I like Guild Wars. But that is simply my opinion *Dodges any argument whatsoever*

The Sensei · Jul 19, 2005, 02:23 AM // 02:23

OMG
I just went to look up "Guild Wars Gold" on eBay and the result was horrible. When I first saw it I wanted to be sick, then I wanted to cry, then I was infuriated. I just do not understand why people would buy it, it is just wrong. I have fun playing the game and I get mass amounts of money that way, but these butt pirates want to completly LEROYYYYYYYYYYY JENKINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS the whole GW economy. Those people don't care about the game they don't care about anything except $ $ $. Now it takes a lot for me to use this word, but IF YOU BUY OR SELL PLAT ON EBAY I HATE YOU! ! ! Go out into the real world, earn a living and quit ruining my favorite game. Hell the only reason I found the forum section here is because I am on vacation and my fathers CPU is from 199. something and probably couldn't play a demo let alone a full legnth version of GW.

Sorry I had to get that off my chest.

Cooling back down to my peaceful self,

Gardavil · Jul 19, 2005, 02:35 AM // 02:35

OK, so I have my complaints bout the changes to the merchants........but if I'm bitchin, I'm happy, so.....

I would very much like to thank the Devs and Anet for a marvelous game.........Well Done!

P.S.: Yes, I should know better, but I'm a grumpy old man here, proud member of TOG (The Older Gamers), so I get cranky. It don't mean I don't love the game!

goldfinger · Jul 19, 2005, 02:39 AM // 02:39

As a sidenote, I like mesmers. I like them the best now that I saved my team's arse at Bloodstone Fen

I wont go in detail, just say that Empathy plus Blinding Flash (courtesy of my secondary Elementalist profession) equal a dead Hablion

Thank you Anet for this game! You can expect me to buy the next chapters when they comes!

But the complaints are what fuels Anet's ideas. If everyone just made posts about being completely happy with the game, Anet would have no idea what was wrong with the game. A complaint does not mean someone hates the game, but rather wants that aspect of the game improved.

Yes, I do enjoy the game of guild wars, however, like anything else, it can be improved.

Guild Wars is great, in as much that there is free updates and regular patches. I am almost finished the game and I have Amnoon Armor and I have not had to farm at all.

There are more choices in GW, you can farm or you can play the game, you can PvP or you can aggro a heap of mobs and see how many you can kill at once. You can test different builds, you don't have 25 different attributes that you need to train individually (e.g. Crafting level, magic level, agility level etc.) and if you go away for a while, you can come back and you haven't been left behind.

You also have a chance of killing monsters higher than you, meaning you don't need to kill thousands of rats just to level up because they are the only things you can kill. Weapons are more tools, not "auto-pwnzors". You can't do damage with a sword unless you have the "skill" to do the damage.

GW has one of the best death systems in any game I have been in. You don't suffer a penalty with items, level or gold when you die, but your effectiveness in combat is lowered, so dieing doesn't mean you need to re-craft your armor or find a new weapon.

You can play Guild Wars without bothering with the community much at all, sure you might do some missions easier with people than henchies, but you can complete them all with henchies if you need/want to, you will just be limited in effectiveness.

That is my PoV.

This is a GREAT game for the noob like me to MMORPG's or to the 30 year old geek that lives in his mother's basement that's played (and beaten) every video game known to man. Anyone who disagrees with this statement is out of their minds and are very much so wrong.

aye, i understand that issues need to be addressed but it seams as though the people that point out flaws are usually puposefully bashing the devs at the same time. Maybe they are just ignorant as to what kind of time and effort goes into the process of making a game and the thousands upon thousands of pages of code that are used. Maybe if some people felt that a change was needed then they could state that but do it in a manner that doesnt sound so ignorant and unappreciative.

Guild Wars is damned cool and one of the most entertaining, addictive, and beautiful games to come down the development pipe in recent years. I don't play online games for various reasons and I bought GW on the offchance it would be as cool as certain friends online mentioned and I'm glad they were right. I've since had two friends go out and buy GW the day after seeing me play it on my comp and I have three other guys online talked into checking it out. Gotta like it when you can spread the GW gaming goodness.

Tactical-Dillusions · Jul 19, 2005, 03:43 AM // 03:43

Well, in the last two months, i have built up a total of 1030 hours playing guild wars. I think that number speaks volumes.

Yes, i have my issues like most people but the good outweigh the bad. Give it time and i'm sure every issue that everyone has will be balanced out to some degree.

Like the Charrbane, i too have got others to play GW.

A friend told me about it in another game. I told my brother, my brother told my uncle, my uncle told his friend. No doubt his friend will tell his dog but i think that's where my chain will end.

Borak Bloodbane · Jul 19, 2005, 03:53 AM // 03:53

bah i let 3 friends who were broke borrow the money so they could buy it and play it w/ me. Yeah they payed me back, but they dont play anymore!

If some would like to start a thread about their appreciation for the game, why is it necessary to say something so VERY out of line.

You, sir, should apologize for your behavior.

Perhaps it is very rude, but reading the OP's post again, I see where he is coming from and I fail to see why I should apologise for it. GW was excellent. UW is still good. But increasingly issues are starting to show, and we really don't want the devs to go all rosy feeling and complacent do we?

There will be some future time for that, at present there are serious issues, let's resolve them first.

Dax · Jul 19, 2005, 04:29 AM // 04:29

Well, I'm glad there are plenty of positive comments on the game, and yes there have been many posts to the contrary (including many of my rants). It would be interesting to hear as the game progresses thought and views.

I should point out however, that the OP did contend than everybody bitches on this forum, which does open the door to some sort of rebuttal so I do think there was bound to be some spicy replys

i like this statment.. because its totaly the opposite of the truth (except the fact that its great)

heh, im no noob, im not 30 or over, my house doesnt even have a basement (sadly), i am yet to beat every game ever made (im about half way there

)

but your statment did point out one good thing... this game is fun for people of all ages, which is why i love it so much
