Because I feel obligated to grind so I won't be behind in GW2, mixed with some probably misplaced hope that the game will regain the spark it once had. If it wasn't free to play, I'd be long gone.

I feel the same way <.< but I hope there we be much cooler rewards than the ones offered from hom in gw2, I have so few PvE statues, and only a few PvP ones, oh well.

if it has anything to do, with anything other than vanity, don't worry. millions will foot stomp, threads will be made about how GW2 flushed itself down the crapper, Gw1 Sales will top (or match) Gw2 sales, I will sit back and lollercopter.

it will be a great time. I promise.

....uhm....hubby got me hooked on the game.
I am unemployed....so it gives me something to do until there are jobs again where I live (unless someone wants to pay me to play or sleep).

I like playing, I like making characters the best.....

Jokes on you, I'm not.

Not that I like the grind, so the grind I do is with some exploring in a slowly
enjoyable way.
And indeed. The hope that they bring us some of the things we want.
As a other content update, And yes a addon which I have to pay for would
make me happy to. And more.

because i am a student and dont have the money to waste on aion, cos i waste it on booze!

Swahnee · Sep 24, 2009, 09:33 AM // 09:33

I used to be an hardcore pve player, but after having collected some title i began being bored of it. Now i'm waiting for some friend to begin playing, to do some pvp with. Meanwhile, i do some mission with my new mesmer.

S_Serpent · Sep 24, 2009, 09:37 AM // 09:37

farming to hopefully get the grind titles maxed (and because I just enjoy it)

done all the rest and cant be bothered again with it, so farming with my guildies is the only fun that keeps me playing gw (and for the record, never did or witnessed any Speedclearing - there is more fun in farming to be found if you make your own build for area's).

not to sell stuff to people, I only sell to ingame npc's (I hate wasting time selling stuff)

I had the same feeling the weekend between preselection and headstart - had already bought the game but was semi-regretting it because I knew I'd have to choose between that and GW, wouldn't have time for both, and I've played and enjoyed GW so much over the last few years. Since Sunday, though, I've not stepped foot in GW, cos I've been having way too much fun in Aion to worry about it.

If Aion gets boring, or I don't think it's worth the fee, or if everyone bails after the first few months like they did with WAR etc, I'll be back playing GW again. Until then, I'm v pleased my characters will just sit there waiting for me without my having to do anything to maintain them. Still looking forward to GW2 though!

Getting pvp titles/pve titles, and its free. Just for GW2.

Its one of the great things about GW that you can step out for a few months and pick it back up, for me thats, aside from the fun I still have, one of the strongest assets GW has.

Considering many MMO's have launched since GW and how many are still thriving, I think thats probably a better measure of the quality of GW than anything else.

AngeliqueSynner · Sep 24, 2009, 12:14 PM // 12:14

Mostly because I have nothing better to do.
Little bit because I have friends in-game though.

blood4blood · Sep 24, 2009, 05:16 PM // 17:16

Take LDoA from pre-searing to HoM before GW2, check bday presents for fun.

I never finished grinding titles, and now that I'm playing Aion, I probably never will.

axe · Sep 24, 2009, 07:01 PM // 19:01

I keep playing PvP I am close to getting my title and the people I play with are, well IG friends and it makes the game enjoyable, almost to the extent where I am playing the game to socialize with them, rather than to enjoy the game if that makes sense.

I also am looking forward to sealed deck, I think it has the potential to be an extremely rewarding format.

Its free, and at the times of night I play I cant do much else, its either go to bed early or play for a couple hours.

But mostly I play for the IG friends

AngelWJedi · Sep 24, 2009, 07:07 PM // 19:07

i play cause its free to play. my friends still play.the daily zmissies when they are fun/easy to do. for the events and until i find a nice job where i live. and when i reach my goals in game.

superlost · Sep 24, 2009, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Grinding my third gwamm.

Shadowspawn X · Sep 24, 2009, 08:39 PM // 20:39

Having finished the game its more like keeping in touch with old friends and monitoring the state of the game than actually playing it. Also keeping my account somewhat up to date so if I become really active I'm not very far behind or obsolete.

Absolute lies. People like you piss me off royally. Complaining about Guild Wars, complaining that's it's dead, complaining about how people are so stupid and that's why you left Guild Wars. I've got news for you - if you've QUIT, why in the world are you STILL posting on Guru.

Honestly. Absolute rubbish.

I quit a game but still post on the forum for that game.
It's not an uncommon practice, y'know. :]
