I have tried to enjoy both sides of the game, but you can only do so much in PVE before it becomes a grind-fest, and PVP is really just dead. I'm now going to spend my time catching up on the many great games I missed over the last 3+ years. I'll still be on this forum and my guild's forum, and always hope for that one update, that one big change that shows Anet really gives a damn anymore.

IBTL, by the way.

Yeah, what I choose to put under my avatar says everything about my ability to play the game. Yeah, 3 years, 3 campaigns, one expansion, 10 character slots, and all I ever tried was one primary and one secondary. Wow, I've missed a lot. :-\

Glad you reminded me, another reason I quit was the sheer amount of idiots I had to deal with. Yep, those 4 gigs of hard drive space won't be missed.

Think of all the porn you can now have.

I might go do some charr runs in pre (or anything in pre really), but other than that, I haven't actually been playing as much as I have been.

Jessyi · Sep 17, 2008, 11:34 PM // 23:34

If I stopped playing, why the hell would I be on the forum?

cellardweller · Sep 17, 2008, 11:36 PM // 23:36

Just jumped ship to warhammer... I'll pop back in for special farming weekends and to do my xulanai picks until my hall it totally pimped for gw2.

No. I'm in the .0x percentile that can play purely for fun, and do whatever i feel i enjoy, without giving a damn about if it's accepted or considered 1337 (while not being bad at the game). This has kept me playing casually for 3 years, all the while having fun. I love GW.

JASON626 · Sep 17, 2008, 11:53 PM // 23:53

I quit playing, well i guess taking a break for an undetermined amount of time in May so about 4 months off. I still do tourny predictions and z chest stuff with the points. it was 18 months and 4,000 hours before boardom hit. Some friends quit GW and are playing WoW. I play Company of Heroes.

i would say i am in that percentile... kinda at least. however i enjoy pvp and find it increasingly hard to keep playing with the conformity and non interesting templates that have flooded the game. i still play my builds that i like (and win), however even getting friends to do this gets harder and harder each day.

that being said i do get great satisfaction at just going through dungeons for the usually crappy drop at the end just to see the effort and beautiful renditions that went into creating the game.

@OP: no i dont play the game, i just have non-existent social skills and decide to post on the forums all day. true fact. (at least for quite a few people on here...).

T1Cybernetic · Sep 18, 2008, 12:05 AM // 00:05

I have been dwindling lately, not playing as much as i used to

I was planning on finishing some titles on my primary necro but after doing 26 titles i do not have the energy to finish any more

I actually started playing a little bit more on my other characters and especially my warrior but i am suffering the same old (what to do) syndrome and i end up logging off after half an hour...

Also, Racthoh is alive

i kinda miss reading some of your posts on here...

I was a huge Proph fan, played it all the time. I quit after I beat Factions because I hated the Faction grind and blindbots just wrecked me in PvP so I had nothing left to enjoy. I made a blindbot and wrecked people for a while but that got boring so I quit. Came back for NF for a couple months then quit again. Just came back about a month ago to a dead guild to play EotN. I filled my hall with the stuff I didn't have to grind for. Grind is a big turn off for me (can you tell?) and sadly that seems there's all that is left. Looks like only KoaBD 2 or 3 would be easily done without a huge time sink anyway. I try to come back for holidays and then get bored when they are over.

Sucks I've only really cleared FoW back in the day. Never made it all the way through UW, Urgoz, barely made it into the Deep. Don't think I have even seen DoA endgame, I left before they added it then. Never got to do an AB or GvG, at least not a real one. Mostly did RA and loved it but it got boring too. I just put a Destro axe in my HoM for the hell of it, but I'm bummed I can't add any of my other 25 axes or 30 shields to it.

Lately I've ran some dungeons with H/H since I have no friends left on the game, but now I am bored. I have a WoW account but I hate that game. I like GW, I am just bored I have to grind or farm faction to "accomplish" anything. Went to get Protector of Cantha last night and got stuck trying to get into the Hatchery since I went Kurzick. Not really looking forward to the Luxon faction farm just to beat one mission for a title.

Got like four 20s but I only like my warrior. Funny thing is I made her just to screw around with guildies in Pre back in the day and she wound up becoming my main somehow with about 100 days /age and 5 mil xp or something and like 200 extra skillpoints now. Made a pre warrior the other day but I am bored with that now too. Guess I just wish GW2 would get here already and hopefully it's not a WoW grindfest clone like EotN seems to be. Think I might just go back to WoW and own people with my rogue or warrior until GW2 comes out, even though PvP in that game is anything but balanced, but then I feel like I will be missing out for not stocking my hall. Was saving up for a Torment axe and shield and some more elite armors, dunno why tho I don't like the skins, just feel compelled to stock the hall more.

Makes me sad really. Love the game. Love my war. Miss my friends on here. Miss doing Droks runs and farming Griffons, taking my 55 through FoW, Gear tanking lol and all the other cool stuff. Best damn game I ever played. Now I just log in, start to do something that involves the least amount of grind, then log out. Looks like I wrote a book, didn't mean to. Sorry.

I'm struggling to find anything worth while to do. The loot nerf sucked the life out of the game.

stretchs · Sep 18, 2008, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Lately, tbh I have been playing less, just dont have alot of things to do.

This plus occasional RA with stupid builds like a firestorm monk to get everyone screaming 'OMG
Noob111 GTFO of PVP! Go back to PVE. /Uninstall c:/guildWars noob'.

What a great community Guild Wars has.

Mending wammo with Charge is the new RA meta.

Seriously, they ought to hax mending in PVP just like they did to smiters boon.

25e, 5sc, 90 recharge...

Enchantment spell - gain +1...3 health regen but take double damage.

Wait... That would make it too awesome to play a mending bonder =D

sky sliverwolf · Sep 18, 2008, 01:11 AM // 01:11

It's been 8 months since I've played, title grind is what killed me. Logged on the other day, played for a hour and uninstalled the game, its dead. Which is sad, Anet had a good game, but messed it up by adding eotn skills ( you all know the skill). The pvp died bigtime(heroway ftl) GW2 will never come out! y? there will be no fan base for it (imo).
GW 2005-2008 rip

Yang Whirlwind · Sep 18, 2008, 01:15 AM // 01:15

I stil play GW often! Getting near to my GWAMM though. Not sure what I will do after that,- but I will probably think of something

bodyboarder · Sep 18, 2008, 01:23 AM // 01:23

hmm well played for about 2 1/2 yrs than had a 6 month break and came back but starting to lose interest a bit again so might have another break soon

optymind · Sep 18, 2008, 01:28 AM // 01:28

You dont' think its hypocrisy that you're making a complaint about the community based on the community's rude reaction to stupid behaviour on your part? Ie to do something with the sole purpose of inciting a reaction from the community... then to complain about it...

anyways on topic: I've basically only logged on to get the prediction points and to check out mox lately.

I Just find going for the big titles very unrewarding.

Nessar · Sep 18, 2008, 01:56 AM // 01:56

I still vanquish sometimes, but I usually just sit around and talk to people...so you can say I've stopped playing :P
