Now after 54 months and 5076 hours of game time, this is what I remember...

How proud I was of myself the first time I got Legendary Survivor.

I jumped out of my chair and did a dance when I reached 'Kind of a big deal' title.

To others that wont seem like a big accomplishment, but to me, It was huge. I continue to play this game because it's a challenge for me, I'm not as good at it as most are, but, I play with my heroes and henchies at my own pace and I just really enjoy it.

THIS +1000x. I'm thankful for having my ritualist go through the thousand or so deaths while I was learning to play GW and then getting my first LS on my paragon.

Unfortunately guild wars is not the game it use to be, people no longer read the lore, they no longer take their time to enjoy the work put into making it, people no longer make their own builds, Guild wars has became a communist community of the blind and stupid. As of 5 minutes ago, i no longer play guild wars. I started shortly after release and i no longer find the game fun. I made someone else guild leader i said my goodbyes, and now I'm off. There is a strong chance i wont go back and if the same sort of thing happens to guild wars 2 I have no intention of buying it.

A small guild of people you know is always better than a big guild of people you don't.

Amen.

I still play once in a while. I've moved onto another game (not WoW :P), but I still love the look of Guild Wars, I love the different environments. I love the character models and the armor and outfits (I'm a dork for that!). I like coming up with builds, changing things around, trying weird things.

There's also a lot of nostalgia for me. Finding cool stuff in Pre-Sear and being like OH this is neat! My brother and his wife going "hey have you been through the Searing?" and I'm wondering what are you people talking about, I'm just hanging out in some pretty trees and cursing stuff! The Factions beta, getting drunk accidentally at the Nightfall release party putting a cube of grass on my head. Ect.

I still crack it open to dork around, it's kind of relaxing to me because it's familiar, comfortable.

I still play to chill with friends and/or enjoy the Missions and ZBounties from time to time

I'm waiting to see if John Stumme can pull this game out of the cancerously spreading stasis or apathy or whatever it is that's causing players to numbly accept the demise of this game without so much as a "holyshizzle".

What? A guy can dream....

Making builds by thinking outside the box is still fun.

Sirius Bsns · Jan 30, 2011, 04:55 AM // 04:55

I don't play Guild Wars [anymore], but when I "still played Guild Wars", it was definitely for the Gladiator title. Nothing's more fun [to me] than clicking the "enter" button and going in to fight, no assembly required. It was quick and easy, and earning my Terrifying Gladiator title two times can definitely tell anyone that. PvP >>> All Things! xP~~~

Yes! I tried the... what's it called? The necro build that's all the rage. It was ok for areas that I just got stuck in otherwise, but it's not the same as what I can come up with on my own and just play with, using my favorite skills. Using a blood magic build and giving Zhed tons of energy and letting him nuke stuff. Or, one of my favs, is to do an air magic spiker build on my ele. Fire's cool, but... air is so much fun.

I've been playing GW/WoW for quite a time... now that I have 30/50 on HoM I'll probably only log on GW when GW:B reaches cantha and elona.
untill then I'll probably be on GW/2 guru and playing WoW/Mass Effect

BadgerznPie · Jan 30, 2011, 11:45 PM // 23:45

I still play because it's free, and I'm bored. A lot of my friends stopped playing but there's a few of us who still do so that's nice.

novawhiz · Jan 31, 2011, 12:15 AM // 00:15

Dunno what you constitute 'playing' as. I bet half the people on this forum dont 'play' in the sense that they log in almost daily and do missions, etc. Seems like 90% of players now just log in to do SC's or buy/sell.

A better title is "I still have Guild Wars installed because.." which i still have installed because its 100% free and i dont feel like ive wasted money when i go a week without doing anything productive in game.

:> sometimes i log into gw1 and pretend im in a gw2 beta so i can cope with the many months i have to wait til retail gw2. not really tho, but it helps.

MithranArkanere · Jan 31, 2011, 12:27 AM // 00:27

I fianlly got 50/50, but I'm yet to get a GWAMM.

The problem is that you need a grind title for that.

+1 ^ for being 99.9% correct. The only part I disagree with is pretending im in a gw2 beta. I don't have much hope for gw2 already just from some of the things I've read and some of the things I've seen. I've never understood paying for the same game twice and if they aren't going to make gw2 simular to the other mmo's out there why buy it? Oh for new content right? Well don't you think we'll be right back here when that new content is worn out in a weeks time? There's going to have to be some MAJOR improvements to get me even interested in gw2. Mainly unlimited more powerful loot and loot inscriptions. These skins in gw1 are boring. Gw1 has become very boring. I'm really waiting on Diablo III.

aspi · Jan 31, 2011, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Because I like it. 1,5 year now so I can understand that people who started in the beginning are long gone.

You got to 50/50 without grinding?

Of course. No farming, no running, no rushing, barely any trading at all (just exchanged a couple of miniatures to get 7 whites I was missing, and some consumables during Halloween to get some booze), and playing normally all over the place. Rep titles came from quests, missions, books and vanquishing.
Just playing 'normally'.
That was with my main, though. With other characters I may take shortcuts sometimes for some things, or not making them at all. Once is enough for some things.

And I still have 2 titles left for GWAMM, I have the booze but I don't like much to drink, so I taking that slowly. But for the last one I would have to get lucky, unlucky, trasure hunter, wisdom, Kurzick or Luxon to max, and I find those extremely boring, so I'll probably never make the last one unless they changed them to be less 'puregrind'.

I know all of those can be acquire normally, but without chest runs, purchasing unded golds or speed clears, they take ages. And without some kind of account-wide keyring I always forget to take the stupid lockpicks. Hmpf.

Gabs88 · Jan 31, 2011, 05:50 PM // 17:50

Because it's the only game i play for endless hours and still have stuff left to do in.
