Apparently misery DOESN'T love company...

Anyhow, no idea why Guild Wars has kept my attention for so long, the game started with such promise and I was hyped about it early on (E34E) but I've really become disillusioned by some changes to the game over the years, ArenaNet's handling of certain issues and the player base has gone from 'mostly awesome' (preview events / beta weekends) to what we have today...

I guess I'm just grinding titles in the hope that GW2 will bring back some of that oldschool GW1 love, and passing the time playing with the very few people you bump into in the game worth interacting with.

TL/DR answer: I have no RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing clue.

I dont play any more, i come from time to time to talk with guildies and friends, the game became to much of a grind,without new content (z quests are not content in my opinion).
I play Oblivion and AoC, waiting to GW 2 tho

Pleikki · Sep 25, 2009, 02:45 PM // 14:45

dusanyu · Sep 25, 2009, 03:14 PM // 15:14

Still working on gwamm #3... Hoping to get there before Christmas.

Trbayth · Sep 25, 2009, 06:46 PM // 18:46

I'm not as hardcore as some people and don't play 3 to 4 (or more) hours a day every day. My Rit just finished Factions->Proph->NF with my alliance's role playing group and we moved on to GWEN.

Plus I don't have a character for every profession and there are some titles that I'm interested in (mapping, skill capping, treasure hunter.)

Finally I want to build out my HoM because I eventually want to write some lore connecting my GW1 characters with GW2 and I think the HoM will be a big part of it.

this question doesn't really apply to me since i've only played for 1 year, but i've beaten all the campaigns e.t.c (i just took ages to transition from NM to HM and elite areas) i just go crazy about ritualist armor %D

I have tried to find a good guild but when they do runs and stuff they always take the same members with them. And no I did not just join these guilds and expected to be in runs.

Personally, I still play (albit not incredibly actively because of real life business atm) for a number of reasons, mainly:

-titles- my main still has a lot of titles to max, though he has done just about everything.

-pvp- I used to HB a lot but now I primarily HA and guest GvG with my friend's guild, if they need me.

-my guild- I enjoy playing with my PvX guild, we do weekly things based upon the current zquest, dungeons, HM, missions, ect.

-heavy pack- I'm slowly building up the zcoins to purchase one, and after that I'll save for more.

-items- still have some armors with my mind set on them, for other characters and alt armor sets for pvp, also wep sets (would be nice to have good 40/40 sets and defense sets on all my pve chars for pvp.) and filling the rest of the HoM.

I still quite enjoy GW.

Eragon Zarroc · Sep 26, 2009, 12:53 AM // 00:53

was titles for the HoM, now it's just a can't let go even though the game is pointles relationship going on i suppose?

Spookii · Sep 27, 2009, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Titles. Friends. I use GW as a stress killer now mostly. Plus I use it as a gamer chick's Barbie, lol. I love getting new armor and making over my characters from time to time.

I don't play it much while I'm at school but when I come home for weekends and holidays I do.

It's getting boring, tbh.

Magikarp · Sep 27, 2009, 05:15 AM // 05:15

well I WAS playing RA here and there at least once every day or two for about an hour and catching up with friends.. Then Aion came out.. And.. now.. I ... don't..

pamelf · Sep 27, 2009, 05:32 AM // 05:32

I'm playing Aion atm. I log on to GW once a day to do whatever that day's Z-Mission is.

Red Intensity · Sep 27, 2009, 05:42 AM // 05:42

I play this because I don't have Xbox Live. If I did, I'd play this game far less often.

MuC · Sep 27, 2009, 10:55 AM // 10:55

Because i wanna get shitty unded Zhed. Also GvGing with friends from time to time.

Deimos Zargarda · Sep 27, 2009, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Well after I bought Aion yesterday I got reminded that no other mmorpg is better than GW, so yeah, I threw away Aion and went back to GW, after 4 years it still hasnt got boring.
