Agreed, even though it's the reason why I've only maxed 3 titles in 5 years it can be pretty fun.

I wouldn't feel too bad about not enjoying the game, there hasn't been any new content for 3 years. Playing the same old stuff over and over gets tedious.

Your account wont expire and you aren't playing a subscription so you can return later, might play something fun instead.

If its no fun anymore, dont play....log off and when you birthdays roll around, log in-click on the prezzies...dedicate (if you wish or sell them) log off....wait for gw2 to come out.

You have gotten your moneys worth from the game, no one is forcing you to grind titles and such.
Pretty simple solution.

do what you want. This is a game who says you have to do anything you can hang around places for no reason or just not play. you don't have to uninstall (if you want to come back for the festivals). I don't blame you about the titles, not worth it. I just thoguht about waht i wanted to accomplish with each character and set out to do just that before thinknig of any new accomplishments. Once i've done all that i might just leave the game. but since we have the war in kryta (content coming soon) it might be worth it to stick around for a bit longer ;D.
and then after that we have the royal ascalon masquerade ball then the dragon festival, then halloween, wintersday e.t.c
bascailly the answer is do what you want.

Almost got my 25th title but cba to get any more. I play games for fun and the remaining titles aren't what I call "fun". I've played twice the amount of PvP than I have done PvE I think.

^ Actually a pretty good idea. Stay out of HA, though. Lots of rank discrimination and elitism. Not much fun to do if you're unranked, only randomway and RtLway, really.

5 hours a day +? I'm sorry, I can't dedicate that amount of time to a game. I used to be able to in high school when I had no obligations but getting my homework done, but I'm a Senior in college (now) and i work full time in the summers as well as ~20 hours a week during school on top of school projects and work to do. I would like to say i played for maybe 3 hours a day when I did play but most of that was those weekend 12-18 hour sit ins.

I've done *some* PvP and don't really find it to float my boat. Too much hate if you do something wrong in my experience as monking RA which spoiled it for me. I even did the JQ/FA route for a while for faction and for some fun and still not for me.

I might give PvP another go after the summer (work drains most of my time along with previous evening obligations) just for kicks if the break serves me well.

No i haven't gotten it. It sounded like more grind than the other titles which was just not going to float my boat. At least with TH I really work on 4 titles at once which makes it a *bit* better.

To OP: Just park your character in the HoM and see if GW2 is any good. Don't waste your time on GW any longer, especially because you don't have fun anymore, I know the feeling and I'm having a blast in other games atm. Feedback to Anet is pointless too at this point.

I know what you are talking about (RA monking etc.). IMO it's better if you try to find some good friend who wants to play something organized (from scrimmages to AB or GvG). It hasn't to be top-level to be funny

As others have said, if you've done everything (and you apparently have no interest in PvP, which is a shame), try a different character, help out guildies with content (it's amazing how much it can revitalize a mission to be doing it with the purpose of helping someone, as opposed to just blazing through it), poke around at whatever new War in Kryta content we get, and/or just stop playing for a while. No monthly fee, remember? It's clear that you've had a hell of a time playing GW when it was offering you stuff to do, so don't get all down about it now that there's nothing left for you to accomplish.

Incidentally, it seems like you won't have to wait terribly long for GW2 stuff to salivate over...if you're into that. If not, come back when the beta's released. Really, they don't revoke your membership card to the GW fanclub if you stop playing for a while.

Funny how people play the game for 5 years and come to GWGuru to complain about nothing left to do.
sigh,I don't want to be rude,but now Riverside is all about "I played for 5 years
and there's nothing left to do,this game sucks!"

Clearly never said the game sucked, just that the grind is getting to be rediculous.

And i'd love to play some GvG but the guilds i've frequented recently with friends (RL friends as well) don't seem to do any GvG. Thats one aspect of GW i have yet to do.

And as for helping people, I've done that. It's not about blazing through but getting others through said mission or VQ. I help the guildies a lot when i'm bored or stuff to do but the lack of new content (obviously working on GW2 so I don't blame anyone for not releasing anything new) means the old content can only do so much before it gets old.

At first, the titles were a good way to keep track of your personal achievements. Naturally, some people enjoyed the e-peen of displaying titles, so they added some more silly-bugger ones like Drunkard and Party Animal.

But, initially I liked the titles as a way of keeping track of my own personal achievements. I still wish there was a "Done Every Quest" title. (Legendary Quest Hunter?), but, I suppose it's too late now - I wouldn't want have to do them all again.

To the OP - I know the feeling. There's no way I'm going to bother to get Drunkard, Sweet tooth, or Party Animal, or w/e boring title just for the sake of maybe getting some lame title in GW2. By the time GW2 comes out, the "bonuses" will be about as unique as Chaos Gloves.
