Considering that GWAMM should be aware of possibility of using mentioned portal to vanquish crystal desert with 8 man party... And at very least, having encountered it while they were getting their cartographer title...

So many people are rushing their posts, having not researched just what goes into getting 50/50 or GWAMM and forgotten that there are actual activities behind titles.

I turned off every chat. Well, except when i trade. Everything i see in chat is : '' OMG GW2 IS AWSUM, GW SUCKS GW2 BETTER, GW2 GW2 GW 2 GW2!!!!!!!!!! ''

I was just playing Guild Wars, up until last month or so, but it's about time I got my ass into gears and started working towards that 50/50 (and also GWAMM) like all my Guildies got years ago before they quit the game.

About the only real obstacle to me getting it now is basically earning about 2000k from somewhere for the consumable titles though. Then I'll be all set. Just got to where I'am now by casually playing for fun over the past 7 years or so.

Oh, well, you do fill your HoM by doing mostly everything you can do in GW, excepting secondary quests, bonus missions and Beyond content.

So filling the HoM is mostly playing GW.

Now, there may be others things you can do that won't fill the HM, like farming or consecutive speedclears in the same location (excepting the locations that may provide resources to get HoM weapons, armors and hero armors).
But that isn't really playing GW the way it's supposed to be played, so it doesn't matter.

People who pick up Guild Wars over the last few months probably don't know the nice little tips and tricks about the game. They just rush the content.

I came back for HoM on my Ele main and stopped at 15/30. It just felt too grindy and I wasn't having fun as I rushed through content pushing for goals. So I started playing my 12 War I hadn't touched in ages and continued through ascension just because he was fun to play!

As far as I'm concerned I only use the HOM for planning the next title I might want to achieve.

Beside that (my wife and) I certainly enjoy the GW1 storyline. We have just created two new characters and want to play through all campaigns as a team.

Understand that most of the people around here have played GW1 for a long time. The game's 7 years old now. HoM stuff is just about the only thing left to do for a lot of people.

I still enjoy playing GW1, occasionally, but it's just not the same as when I had external goals to shoot for.

Boro · May 16, 2012, 09:38 PM // 21:38

My goal is to have fun. So 8/50 and 16/50. Still need to do a lot of fun stuff like guardian. Otherwise it's "kurzicks have better monk healbotters because they have purge conditions" jq

I think you have a distorted view of the state of the game from these forums, at this point,
the forums are pretty threadbare.

People that have been playing have simply run out of things to talk about, so the only thing
you see are the posts on HoM stuff since that's still somewhat new and "allowed".

I've seen so many people post questions or comments about topics that have already been
discussed, just to have their heads bitten off or their post unceremoniously closed because
they didn't use "search". I'm surprised anyone posts at all.

It's a lot like logging on to the game and judging it by what you see in Lion's Arch, For
every babbling teenager you see there, their are probably 2-300 people in instances actually
playing the game that you'll only catch a passing glimpse of.

I still play most every day for varying amounts of time. I do work on HoM goals.But I also
jump into PUGs here and there, join guild activities, and do things that are a challenge to
me.

So... yeah... we still play.

People who have already played GW have, as you might expect, already played GW. The only thing to do once you're done with that is quit, or work towards filling your HoM and then quit.

It's really all about the HoM, unless you don't care about GW2, in which case you're playing something else entirely anyways.

Pretty much... although I still play with 50/50

friends make an mmo.

I get what almost everyone here is saying, especially the last 6 or so posts. I've only been playing for about 2.5 years so alot of things are still new and exciting to me. It was still nice getting people's thoughs.

I don't care about GW2, but I am still 50/50 and have a GWAMM on both my accounts.

The most enjoyable part of GW1 is to buy a new character slot and start creating a new character from scratch to re-live that enjoyment again. Yes, I choose to spend my money on GW1 rather than GW2.

I am working on my account-based titles on the side but I don't play as much any more. My son, on the other hand, is having a lot of fun with his new NF necro.

Pre was always the best for me.

Yes for me, Pre has been great. My son chose to make his new character in NF though because he loves to have heroes.

Friends.

This is pretty much the single reason why I've been keeping it up. I pretty much grew tired of the game 3 years ago, but never quit, because I enjoyed this form of "company" so much.

Now that is pretty much gone for me. People I liked the most to play with don't play anymore, the few remaining contacts I've had in my friend list in the last few years have all been disappointments, so I pulled the plug myself.

Log back in, they're coming back to GW due to GW2.

Oh, I still log in now and then, but I can't say I'm still "playing" this game anymore...
