But I wouldn't spend thousands of hours to get 10 characters to level 20 and finish all 3+1 campaigns 10 times.

Did you actually do that? Wow.

Lol, you are complaining when u actually have titles to work on? pffft. Find a guild that is enjoyable to play with and be around. It is the people that you play with that will make the game enjoyable.

I did, im even still working on finishing my last couple toons. Its a really nice feeling to be able to suit the needs of your group at any time. It took me about 4 years off and on, all the while working on my title toon. It was never a big rush for me. Just something to kill my downtime with. I may never finish gwamm, but I dont care if I do. I have 10 professions that can go everywhere with almost any build and have decent rep points.

Another suggestion, if your not happy with your guild, guild hop a bit. There are all kinds of active guilds still doing PvE and PvP related stuff. Dont believe all the QQ'rs out here, the game is still very much alive to many players. They know it too, why else would they even bother with this forum?

Yep, GW is dead an only the die hard fanboi's won't admit it. If you want fun and pugs you just need to goto one of them great mmorpg's like WOW or DAOC or EVERQUEST or if you still want FREE with no monthly fee or charge for the game try ANARCHY ONLINE that's what I'm playing mostly now. It's quite a lot of fun and great LOOT much much much better than GW. I never will understand why GW capped at level 20 and no real loot of value as that's what the majority of gamers play for in the first place is unlimited leveling and loot that continues to evolve and just get better and make you stronger and stronger. Obviously their origional plan that SKILL only matters went out the window when they introduced titles and consumables.

Your so far out of touch it's laughable.

Yes GW is dead to many of the elite minority but we are talking about a game with a shelf life.How this escapes so many baffles the mind.The deal on steam has actually seen an upsurge in new players but if your grinding titles or doing speed runs at high-end then yes....there has been a drop off.

PvP dropped years ago.

Your playing the wrong game.

GW was always based on an easy lvl cap and loot based on aesthetics as opposed to power.

That's why people play it(ignoring the non-subscription).Period.

If you want to spend end-game grinding for "1337" loot this is not the game for you.

I'm very close. My Derv is a bit of a pain in prophs (least fav prof in least fav campaign) but besides that yes finished all others. I might have had it done, but I decided to max out all titles that were related to skills first....i.e ss/lb, lux,kurz,norn,asura,vanguard, and delver.

This~I'm amazed that someone trashes a game yet continues to buy/sell in it, visit and regularly post on one of it's fan sites, and call others "fanboi's" for basically doing the same. Idk...maybe it is just me. It just seems as there might be some unresolved issues here. Are those games lacking fan sites to post on? Why continue to beat a dead horse, if in fact you believe that horse to be dead? Idk...just my opinion.

You might want to tell that to the constant stream of new players taking up Guild Wars... I guess Steam is to blame. At times SUPPORT for this game seems dead, but the new players hardly seem to notice...

As for your confusion about the level cap and quality of loot? Well, you just indicated that Guild Wars' design philosophy clearly marks it as "Not the game for you" and you're only just realizing it after all this time...

And if anyone actually likes Anarchy Online, they're welcome to it... kill ten rats, with mah lazer rifle pew pew! Go, enjoy your AO, no need to troll this "dead game's" forums.

Well mainly I post so others won't "throw their money away" on a dead and dying game. Sure the $20 for everything drew in some new players but once they realize there's nobody to play with and only fanboi's and 'Rons are left they will soon scurry away to better games like WOW and DAOC and EVERQUEST and FREE TO PLAY ANARCHY ONLINE.

)

Besides it basically is the fanboi's that have ruined and made GW dead. They whined and cried for this and that and every nerf has turned another mob of players away. Eventually you'll have the socialistic game of your dreams.....just before they turn OFF the switch to the servers. It's not going to last NCsoft has already proven they will easily shut a game down when they are ready.

Oh and don't forget the horde of bots is also out there destroying this game. So between the fanboi's and the bots it won't be long before <click> Lights out.

So you're trying to save people from spending $20? That's actually a lot of gaming value that you're trying to deprive them off just because YOU don't like the game... maybe if you really wanted to save them money you should just give them your GW accounts?

Could you place an estimate or time frame on "it won't be long"? Just so I can pop back and gloat...

Oh well, at least you're trying to something constructive with your butt-hurt, I guess... Have fun with your AO (I couldn't stand it myself).

Guild Wars must have some kind of record for the longest death scene in the gaming industry, I mean, it's been dying for years now according to forum trolls.

So what? The next 4 times you'll go see a movie in 3D, just watch it without 3D, and done, you'll have the 20$.

You sir are brilliant. No, really. Who else would think to go to a forum that people who already got the game go to for information and the like in order to convince them to not get it.

/facepalm

Your comparing 3 subscription titles and a loot based non-subscription title to GW.

Just uninstall and walk away dude.

Move Down · May 14, 2010, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Better quit the game because when you start grinding and farming to max your titles.
You can be banned thats what happended to me and they just say its beyound reasonable doubt you used a bot and its closed and final.
And then they dont resopond on your mails anymore.
For me this was the last NCsoft i ever played

fireflyry · May 14, 2010, 02:52 PM // 14:52

$10 says you buy GW2.
