I think the last time I had fun playing GW was on factions release, but I nothing better to do, so...

Dr Strangelove · Oct 01, 2007, 08:01 PM // 20:01

Because I'm having fun.

Why else would you play a game?

Vinraith · Oct 01, 2007, 08:04 PM // 20:04

I, for one, only have a couple of problems with the game, and none of them are big enough to keep it from being quite a lot of fun. In fact, most of the things I'd like changed are alterations that would make it easier to solo certain areas of the game. The sole benefit of that, from my perspective, is that it would let me play the game more.

Come to think of it maybe I'd be better off if I didn't get my way.

I've played since the start and I'd have to admit that, after that long, part of it is just habit. I still enjoy the game but habit is a big part of it.

I like the fact that there are so many different ways to play. I'll play PVP only for weeks, then - especially after GW:EN - try PVE for a while. I also like the fact that, if I just have 10 or 15 minutes, I can do some quick farming runs. On the other hand, I can spend 2 hours or more in a GW:EN dungeon.

At times I've been fascinated with farming and trading (mostly that's fallen away, after buying fissure armor for one character, I almost buy the cheapest max armor for new characters now). I have customized the weapons I like and - more often than not - give the good finds to my guild now for what we call our armory - stuff to be given out to our members as they need things.

Me? This game has offered more bang for the buck than any game I've tried ...

I just play to increase the size of my e-peen monument for GW2.

Crom The Pale · Oct 01, 2007, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I play to have fun. Now what I find fun may not be the same as anyone else, but that is the nature of FUN.

Currently I am working on Vaquishing Tyria in order to help fill out the last 0.8% I need for Cartography title there.

I have finnaly reached a point in the game where I nolonger require any grinding or need any money. I have all the gear I want and all the skills I need. I have enough K in storage to make a fair and reasonable bid if I see an item that might fit well into a build or look good next to my armor, but nothing is out there that I really need.

It has taken me 28months to get one char to this point, and there is little chance I will bother trying to fill out my other 8 chars. When Prophicies first came out I felt that 4 char slots was too few, we had 6 proffessions after all, but now that I have taken one of every profession through multiple campains I kinda wish I had spent more time on just one char. If I had focused on just one from the start I would have reached the point I am at now 12+ months ago.

Now I've got 1 main char and 8 fully equiped and loaded with heros Storage chars.

£120 for over 6000 hours gaming? yeah, I'm staying here

Prowlinger · Oct 01, 2007, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Why? Because.... GW is a 100% successful working model of a game gone perfect. Oh yeah... and I love it!

Yichi · Oct 01, 2007, 09:00 PM // 21:00

Because, in my opinion, there isn't a better PvP game on the market atm.

Punches · Oct 01, 2007, 09:03 PM // 21:03

No monthly fee

And I'm good at it.

E-peen for some.

Shadowfox1125 · Oct 01, 2007, 09:20 PM // 21:20

If I wasn't playing Guild Wars, I'd be playing Lotro or a 360. Lotro has a monthly fee, but GW's graphics are far superior, and I don't have a 360 yet, so I don't want to spend 400+

Fox Reeveheart · Oct 01, 2007, 09:41 PM // 21:41

I play just to be around the girl I love on there ^.^ I done EVERYTHING ELSE Q_Q now I do it for her mainly. Just helped her get through elusive golemancer which she could not do to save her life. I try one time and boom, done o.O. She was very very happy. That made me happy ^.^

margretli · Oct 01, 2007, 09:47 PM // 21:47

@ OP:

I play because I like the game. Yes call me crazy, but I like it.

I read the same forums, the same complain threads and so on, but I still like the game. So that's my reason for playing.

[edit] One other reason is, this game is the closest thing to a "two person" Elderscrolls. I have long been wanting a game that I enjoy as much as the Elderscrolls but am able to play with my boyfriend.

Age · Oct 01, 2007, 09:51 PM // 21:51

My guild my alliance and to try and improve of the game for current and future players some of us need to speak for the silent ones out there.

I assume the grind issue you're alluding to is for armor? Since when is that new? Some point to that as "proof" of the game going downhill.. but how is that any different from the grinds that have been in the game all along? We've always needed 15k per piece for ascended armor... and Vabbian, Obsidian, and Kurzick/Luxon armors need much more grinding than that. Not to mention all the insanely-priced rare weapon skins. We we've never *needed* any of it, and believe it or not that's still as true after EotN as it ever has been.

The reason I still play is the same reason I played two years ago: its fun. Nothing in the game has changed that has made me want to change my mind about that.

Why would you come to a board of a game you no longer play?

Exactly what I wanted to ask. Back on topic, I'm still playing to get the last few items to complete my warrior's collection of armors, weapons and shields. Not too far off. Then spend the rest of my days doing uh... Well HM version of Eyes of the North I guess.

Because internet forums, no matter their topic, are more about attention whoring than they are anything else.
