what is "imba" sorry, I've been wanting to know what that is for a long time, can't hold it back anymore.

regarding grind: Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around my eyes, look into my eyes, you're under. There's no grind in Guild Wars, its all in your mind. Three, two, one... You're back in the room.

Thanks Dr Strangelove.

You bring up good points in your post, but I think that the majority of players are commenting on the fact that the author picked obscure or obtuse areas to draw examples from, while leaving the rest of the game alone. No one here, I have seen, is down casting the author simply because he is attacking GW, but because he seems to make examples and conjectures based upon seemingly very little experience in the game.

Thank You! At least one measured soul in all those posts.

Btw, replace the word, wrote with the word experienced. I must have misslipped here.

Whenever I read an article, I tend to look at what he defines his topic. At least the writer did define what he was intending to write on, which makes me give him plus points.

Then I would do a web and dictonary definition, to check whether he is too far flung from it.

Granted, he was extremely negative, but I believed he was trying to prove a case that Grind exist in almost any game, rather then trying to say GW is overly grindy ( Either that, or he has a really low tolerance for GW style type of play ).

In truthfulness, anything we do, whether in real life or online can be a grind, going by the base definition. Even breathing and eating can be too, just that, I believe that most living beings have an extreme high tolerance for this "type" of grind, so to speak ( Else he wouldn't want to live ).

If you define everything you do in life as grind, you need to make a real change or end it, now.

Seriously, get off the train, because that is very, VERY depressing.

17. laborious, usually uninteresting work: Copying all the footnotes was a grind.

If you find it interesting or exciting, it isn't grind. Saying something is grind just because you don't get the goal right away is an example of the "if I want something I should be able to get it now" crowd that brought Ursan to the game. Some people find farming fufn, seeing how much they can make in a run. Some like Vanquishing, killing every living creature they can get their hands on in HM. If you are doing the same thing over and over, and feeling no joy in it, that would be grind. You want true grind? Operate a die press in a manufacturing plant. THAT is grind, and some people have done that for 30-40 years of their lives.

Malice Black: Jesus, that was so wrong. Why did I like it so? And she does look like a horse.

Well... that article sucked.

Let me show you how to write a REAL article on grind in Guild Wars. Notice the amount of replies to my thread, most positive, look at the amount of views, and the respect that is shown. This is how to write a respectable thread in Riverside, something 95% of the population of Guru lacks.

Pardon me while I vomit on this other article you posted... that person clearly fails at this game and is not a veteran player. Try consulting some of the OLD players on this forum that can actually form complete sentences and use proper grammar in their posts. It helps.

Most of the grind issues (as stated at the end of my old thread which you should no resurrect) were solved when ArenaNet later updated the way the Hero Handbook and Dungeon Guide functioned upon turn in. So yeh... Guild Wars has very little required grind. Ursan is the big exception, but that is debatable and not really required (again debatable)
