yeah runescape is a horrible game. i also can believe you are comparing runescape to guildwars.i hated having to grind fishing and cooking to 53 for heros quest.

i think mining and crafting might be good as long as you dont have to grind to be good at it.

GW isn't really the place for these things. Unless you want to give up your secondary to be a miner... bah, silly. Good concepts for other games, not GW.

meh, i played runescape for about a year, made millions, got into legend's guild, blah blah... then the day Guild Wars came out, i quickly quit my membership and started running around in Ascalon you know why? cuz i got sick of the RS economy. people in GW are complaining the economy sucks, but i say it cant be better. in RS, you endlessly grind, doing very boring things. sure, at the beginning its fun when lots of people are around, but as your skills get a lot higher, not many people are as good, so ur mostly alone. in GW, i never farm. i've never seen the need for money, since items dont matter nearly as much as skill, where as in RS you had lvl 60 pure noobs pking lvl 80s just because they had better equipment and grinded longer. GW is about having to use strategy, not wasting time.

besides, GW is mostly about PvP, so you i agree u cant really compare it to RS, since in guild wars, pvp is organized chaos with max of about 24 people fighting at once, where as in runescape, you can have 100 vs 100 clan wars where its so crowded that u cant tell whos on ur team (hated that...)

Thing is - this wouldn't effect the game in any way at all, except increase the resources obtained. As said, crafting materials have already crashed. So this wouldn't effect PvP, PvE or anything.

Agreed. Adding fishing, making crafts, etc isn't going to effect PvP or PvE. These are just optional things so that all you haters that aren't interested don't have to even bother with it. Personally I do get tried of just going on quests all the time. It would be nice to have something else to focus on sometimes.

Oooh, we can't have it in this game becuase it uses a good graphic's engine! :/

I don't see why anyone wouldn't want things to do on the side. Sure, the box says that the game is about PvP and I'm not asking for a horse betting track in the middle of Old Ascalon, but it would be nice for a deversion from farming monsters and farming people and farming missions and farming FoW and farming UW. (To not have to always do the same thing over and over agiain)

Atleast a fun and easy way to regain refund points and maybe PvP redeam points (Like Balthazar Points). That's what I want.

I would like to see a market place, not just a trade channel but a place where you could put the item on display with a asking price, it would make buying and selling so much nicer. As for fishing or mining ugg no thanks skining thu that could be handy.

I do want this... those who don't want it, don't do it. It in no way interferes with PvP and would add loads of depth to the RP aspect of the game which is what PvE is all about.

I don't care about WoW runescape or whatever, I dont' care about FPS, MMO, ETC. whatever. What I care about is fun. And this would add more options and more fun to the game.

AGREED!!!!

first, i'm totally for the marketplace idea

now you have to stop and think for a minute here. whats the use for fishing? in runescape, fish are food, and u eat them to gain health. but what use does food have in GW? now mining, i can see the use for, but crafting is kinda repetative. the crafter npcs are there as a gold sink, and besides, it would probably require a certain skill level to make certin things. but there are two problems with that: first, a cross-class attribute is kinda weird, and seconds, making the crafting attribute go up by exp would ruin the point of attribute refunds, which is a big part of the game. and if there are no attributes for it, then anyone would just craft drocknar armor as soon as they reach post-searing ascalon.

now i'm not aginst new addition that would add more to do other than missions and quests, but i would like something that is different and new from other MMOs, like the rest of GW.

I'd like a market place as well. I have some a ton of runes and such I want to sell but don't have the patience to sit around in a town constantly "WTS blah blah" in the trade channel... So give me a place people can see what I'm asking and buy what they want, hassel free. Kinda like a huge place people can see "your" vault of items you want to sell.

Though I'd be happy to go out on a boat and fish

Let's face this game, at the moment, is just

Play a few missions untill you beat the story

Do alot of quests

Cap elite skills (What? Can't find a capping group? Too bad, go do something else)

Go to UW and FoW (What? No favor? Too bad, go do something else)

GvG with your guild once a week or so. (What? Not the GvG day? Too bad, go do something else)

Go to HoH. (What? You don't want to wait for 2 hours to make up a group that doesn't use their teamspeak channle and everyone leaves with the first person who dies? Too bad, go do something else)

Go do team areanas (What? Can't find people good enough to team with? Too bad, go do something else.)

Go do Random areanas. (What? You've goten bored of the same four maps all day? Too bad, go do something else)

*SARCASIM*Oh, sure we don't need things for people to do on the side.*/SARCASIM*

Why can't you do something else besides killing or capturing skills?
If one gets bored of killing things, then why can't he just sit down and mine?

I don't understand what you mean by this. Are you agreeing with me or do you not catch my sarcasim?

Yes, that is the way the game is "at the moment". I would like that to change.

the part of this game that's supposed to be entertaing is the PvP aspect. so if you find that boring, i suggest you go play another MMO and stop complaing about GW.

So.. The PvE is supposed to be boring?

I don't know if you noticed or not, but this game is supposed to be about not having to spend 3 years non-stop at trying to be good at it. How many people with lives can coordinate a three hour play session every day?

That's easy for an E/mo or a Necromancer to say, but not all of us have main character in ranged mass damage classes.

To some extent, but you also have to take into account that not everyone wants to do the same scenario again and again. "Kill the other four players and their pets" and "Kill the most players" for 2 hours on the same map with the same art direction and the same build doesn't appeal to me.

Yes, I've played alot of every genre of games, but even games like Battlefield 1942 have more than 8 maps and many more with mods. I couldn't stand doing the same ones over and over again in the same way, no matter what type of person is playing.

pve isnt supposed to be boring, but im just saying that pvp should be the main focus, hence the name Guild Wars. and who said anything about 3 yrs? i'm just saying that gvg is fun, and can be one of many things to do while w8ing for new updates
