Curse

ManxMann · Jul 24, 2008, 01:41 AM // 01:41

I've been playing since just after it's release. I'm a PvE'er, I play for 2 reasons. First, I want to come up with my own builds that work, I detest having to use the cookie cutter builds to get thru an area.

Secondly, I realized a while back that "GW giveth and GW taketh away". I have found myself taking a mental count of all of the things that have been taken away from the players over the years. I am utterly amazed that GW is even considering a sequel, with the loss of player base that this game has endured.

I was once told that people play these games for a steady stream of rewards. Be they bragging rights(titles), uber weapons, massive amounts of wealth, etc... For me the stream has ended a long time ago, I play because I have a good guild, which makes for good conversation on any given night. We can usually find somthing in-game to do while we talk. The game really dosen't matter anymore. When it dies or when a replacement comes along, even though I think this is the best game out there....I won't miss what those 3 at GW who are calling the shots have turned it in to.

1. I still don't have my 30 titles on my main.
2. I'm aiming to have the highest gamer rank ever.
3. Friends, sometimes.

Issac · Jul 24, 2008, 03:23 AM // 03:23

People/friends, PVP, and mostly titles

Cale Roughstar · Jul 24, 2008, 03:24 AM // 03:24

Friends
Rank
AoC sucks

But seriously, I love Guild Wars and though I may not play all aspects of it anymore, it is still my favourite game.

Maria The Princess · Jul 24, 2008, 03:34 AM // 03:34

to be honest, if i wouldn't ever get my boyfriend into GW, i would never come back to it after my 4-5 months break...

when i play with people its for pvp with my guy and friends from the guild, when they call me and ask to run something, or when i log on to see whats going on and see a GvG getting ready, tehn sure ill hop in for the ride.

but when i play PvE its a completely single player game for me, mainly to kill time and relax after work...

jammerpa · Jul 24, 2008, 03:57 AM // 03:57

I just ended a 2 month stretch playing AoC and i'm bored outta my mind with it. So.. i'm back to playing gw for a bit. How long, I have no clue since I left gw for Aoc cuz I was bored to death of gw.

Monkey Slayer · Jul 24, 2008, 04:02 AM // 04:02

Was mainly playing so I could finish all campaigns. Now that I finished Factions to complete that, not sure what I'll do. Next thing I guess'll be protector titles for the games. Then Carto or EotN titles I suppose. I can never seem to get burned out because I have all my friends on there since none of my RL friends ever talk to me over break.

Taurucis · Jul 24, 2008, 04:12 AM // 04:12

I mostly chat, alliance battle with my brother, and watch my miniature Mallyx crawl about.

An excerpt from one of my typical Guild Wars days:
I love Mallyx. Why is his butt so spikey? I mean, what reason is there for Mallyx to have such a spikey butt? Self defense? Maybe, but who would attack his butt? Either way, he's very fluffy and absolutely adorable *cuddles Mallyx*

And yes, I can never resist flaming any idiot that asks for a good verbal thrashing. That's why I am often found in GToB AD1, or SJM AD1.

I like to take my monk or ele, find a PUG doing anything at all, and turn what could have been a massacre into rampaging success. It really makes my day to help people. Also sometimes I pick a skill I want for one of my 7 characters and the fight to the boss or trainer (nope, never used a tome) keeps me occupied for days.

Nessar · Jul 24, 2008, 04:47 AM // 04:47

Chatting with friends, the occasional vanquish, moving chars further in campaigns when bored, AB when I feel like killing luxies, and titles every once in a while...But mostly chatting

pigdestroyer · Jul 24, 2008, 04:58 AM // 04:58

I just log on to play a few RA matches.

Hyper.nl · Jul 24, 2008, 06:46 AM // 06:46

I usually just play some Aspenwood for fun, especially when I'm low on time.

In weekends I do high-end missions from time to time; getting rewards for my Hall of Monuments. I also have been busy with title hunting in the past.

At the same time I slowly but surely gather some wealth by playing and trading which allows me to buy some elite armors and HoM weapons etc.

Timotheos · Jul 24, 2008, 07:00 AM // 07:00

I play because there are a few items that I want.
I also play because I want to have 3 prot titles and EoTN completed on my two non-main chars.
It's fun =]

shoyon456 · Jul 24, 2008, 07:06 AM // 07:06

I play because I don't have GWAMM yet, or a full HoM. GW goes into its' coffin after that.

But really, I play because I like my dervish.... ALOT.

Pleikki · Jul 24, 2008, 07:11 AM // 07:11

Carnage, Get Good guild that does things you would enjoy doing, i've tried pretty much everykind of guilds and i like my current one,
it was fun make Hfff Guild with friend and in 6months we owned HzH.

Chat with your friends, do some activities with your guild for example i love doing Sorrow Furnance with prophecies only builds,
it reminds from old good times, do someting that you hardly never do, everyone has someting like that.

pumpkin pie · Jul 24, 2008, 07:22 AM // 07:22

because i want to have a complete sets of all profession on my account :P~ lol, starting a mesmer from ascalon now. its awesome.

*complete set meaning all have max titles :P~ (lololol)

glacialphoenix · Jul 24, 2008, 07:26 AM // 07:26

Titles and AB and hanging out with friends, really. I get titles on my monk, help people out (because I did actually enjoy doing a few things like some of the HM dungeons, and it's good to be able to play them again without Ursan), and relax by ABing on my PvP ele.

Dronte · Jul 24, 2008, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Only because of HA, and RA.

You're my hero of the day!
