GW:F, a revolution or a calamity? - Guild Wars Forums

well, before i started, i need to say that GW:F is a great game with great graphics..helll, i like the new area..it is beautiful..and the new gameplay features to the game..it is cool and with no monthly subscription, it worth every penny that i spend..

Before GW:F was released, everyone was complaining that GW cannot stay their players for long due to the little content that was available in game..after you finish the missions, you are basically finish with the game unless you want to go for FoW armor or PvP..

Hence, Anet has made GW:F that provides replayability that requires you to grind..grind factions to conquer cities, grind money to buy skills, grind faction to unlock skills in pvp, etc, etc..i understand that GW has little replayability after you finish the game unless you go for the pvp..but with an inactive guild, you cannot go for long..but is grinding will solve the issue?..

I dunno, the quests might be the same, but how I go about doing them differs depending on what profession I'm playing. So... replayability is quite possible.

Tyria had sections like Sorrows Furnace, UW and FoW to explore after finishing the game and glint eventually gave harder quests to do. Factions has a lot more pvp style content to it, although the primary story line is faster to finish. I only finished the missions with one char so far, and that char is now finishing up quests and stuff to help the other chars out financially in getting skills.

Guess if you feel like everything is too much of a grind, take a week off from playing and do something else?

lol, maybe i hate grinding..but i just hope that anet do something to increase the replayability of GW rather than grinding coz for me it is a bad idea b'coz if i want to grind, it is better for me to try other MMOs out there like silkroad, maple story, etc..XD..

I haven't noticed the grind, though I finnished one character and found myself helping the rest of my guild catch up with me. Plus, tell me what MMorp doesn't grind.

I've set goal to achieve as much Titles as possible to my main char (Tyrian based). I think Anet has implemented good amount of goals to achieve in Factions. Of course some of them are turning into a grinding fest but what can you do about it? I don't complain
