As soon as something stops being fun in gw, I do something else.

A game is supposed to entertain me, when it stops doing that, I'll find something else to keep me entertained.

Usually I play for fun, do some random stuff, play thru campaigns or max titles. Also, sometimes I dedicate weekends for farming, as this next weekend might be just the one as I don't get to HA. But usually I get bored of doing missions pretty fast, after that I'll check is there something fun title to max for my main, and if I feel like I start getting it. However, I get pretty fast fed up with that too. Somehow I keep on finding more fun from GW, even if one could think I've done everything I can in there. If I REALLY feel like bored/don't enjoy playing, I go play other game or do some creative stuff.

I actually don't understand this question at all, my apology, but doesn't everyone "play for fun" if something isn't fun would you play it at all?

i see the point of this question in idea of ppl pushing themself to have all titles all money n minipets ect for upcoming GW2. Ppl r in rush to complete their goals that sometimes forgeting to enjoy the game just "ok another 3 books n i have max title...geez..." (dont tell me someone actualy enjoyed doing all the books in eotn all over again but in the end we all made it)

so ye sometimes happens that ure not having fun but still do to be the best ><

As i said im too anoyed already so play to pug for fun^^ i just love newbies n their builds makes me laught whole day but also sometimes makes me wonder "how the hell we made the mission with this XD" ye GW is still fun n can surprise u pretty much even after years.

I stopped playing for titles about a month ago and it is a relief

I do trade a lot still cause i like to power trade and make money. But for me THAT is fun too.

I constantly delete characters and make new ones its hilarious

just keep 1 main toon and put all money in him for HoM, and play all the others for fun and you get a full HoM and loads of fun back

I play now purely for the fun of it, i dont do titles... period
The highest i got was on my E/A was rank 10 Sunspear / Lightbringer, and that was only because i used to solo the Graven monoliths.

I play for fun 80% of the time. The other time i find it nec. to grind, in which i dont really feel its for fun. I am more into worrying about how much time ill really have wasted if i dont finish whatever i got myself into.

No, gw is srs bsns.

Jetdoc · May 29, 2008, 04:08 PM // 16:08

I only play for fun, and to me challenge is fun.

I've accumulated enough money through my playstyle (i.e. soloing without heroes and henchmen wherever possible) that there really isn't any point to grinding.

Titles have never really appealed to me, so I normally get some of the PvE-skill related titles to some decent level just by playing the game and then stop there.

Yep. Glad I bought an xBox, tbh.

That's why I haven't played in awhile.

I still play because of the time I'v dedicated to the game and my main character. But I don't have much fun anymore. I need to find that state of mind where I can forget about all the bs surrounding the game and just enjoy it.

I am working on trying free trials right now, I played eq2 free trial, didnt like the game at all. Now I am on LotrO and its kinda fun but the game has some issues like not being able to track xp progress, lack of a destination indicator and slow combat. Next will be DDO then WoW. After I have tried all the free trials I think I will be ready to come back to GW somewhat refreshed.

I must say this though. Guildwars so far is a lot better IMO than eq2 or lotro. Maybe its because I'v been away from the game for awhile, or maybe its because I'm seeing what these other mmo games have to offer that I am beginning to respect and admire gw even more.

This break was a very good thing for me and I believe it will help me get back into gw full force. I am really looking forward to finishing gwen, grinding out some titles and building my monk.

I only wish the community was nicer and the companies support was more helpful. But I need to forget about that and concentrate on the things that matter most. My gaming experience, my fun factor, my rewards.

I am also looking forward to finally getting into pvp with my warrior, but I will need to learn the builds and tactics from those who know pvp, because I am a pve player.

So basicaly, When I return, I will be playing for fun, not for gold, or drops or fame, just for fun. I might even play with people again for awhile.

Same here. "playing for fun" is never playing just to play for me. I pick something I want to work towards and go for it. like Tatile it could be a title, hardmode quest,armor, item, etc..

Tyla · May 29, 2008, 08:09 PM // 20:09

I play because I find the game boring.
