considering leaving, factions wasnt overly impressive so they really need to have somethig intriguing in next expansion

Taking breaks at decreasing intervals of time (more often every month). Not sure if it will lead to a quit or stay.

Possible reasons to quit:
-Game becomming too much a community game where socializing is rewarded and soloing is penalized.
-Game becomming too much an elite game where you cant join parties without name or fame.

Possible reasons to continue:

-New chapter as big as chapter 1 with a non linear story, freedom to go everywhere without the need to do missions or joining parties.
-A change of policy where nerfing is replaced by buffing.

On a break atm, will continue to play as long the guild is playing and has become the only reason to play.

Btw all those quitting can i have your stuff :P

Definitely Staying.

Got Prophecies at release and played solidly for awhile, had a break and then got Factions. I've been playing solidly since.

Am I the only person that likes the Factions content?

There is still way to much for me to do to even consider leaving.

since youre keeping track of the votes, may as well add 2 more "considering leaving" votes for my other 2 accounts. i may be only one person, but i guarantee ANET values their units in "purchased accounts" and not "per person."

obviously, polls such as these reflect a very small percentage of the people who play the game. however, i think its important to realize that fan site posters are generally the more "serious" players and often know more about the game than the average player.

i used to manage a restaurnant so take this for example: if 2 groups walk in at the same time, one is a repeatedly low tipping family while the other is a known "strong tipper," who do you think gets the better service from the server?

im not saying that as posters here or owners of multiple accounts that we deserve "better service" from ANET, but what i am getting at is that if there is an issue that has upset a good number of the more serious players, it is an issue that needs to be addressed (or in the very least, explained).

Staying with Guild Wars

Crimson Ashwood · Jul 16, 2006, 11:25 PM // 23:25

I also love the Factions content, it's not as big as the original, but that was kinda the point. If you READ into it, they made it smaller to keep people in the original, so it's not a ghost town if you wanted to go back.

All things considered... 9/10 for the game recently. Love it. Couldn't ask for more from a NON-SUBCRIPTION quasi-MMO. Staying.

Acting like a petulant child about game updates and balancing changes never got anyone anywhere. It happens every time, a-lah the MM nerf (needed). Roll with the punches kids...

It's ALL GOOD. (WAYYY too many warriors anyways).

Staying with Guild Wars.

I'm trying to get a couple of 15k sets and titles.. but if anyone would like to speed up the process, I'll gladly take donations for the "Buy my characters 15k armor" Charity, especially because I currently only have 20k. Open to everyone, especially those who are considering leaving the game.

tomcruisejr · Jul 16, 2006, 11:49 PM // 23:49

I'm quitting reading threads like this and the iway / "famous people/guilds" threads. staying to view screenshot threads and will play guildwars as long as it's not pay to play.

Opinions aren't censored on these boards. Opinions expressed in such a way that is conducive to starting flame wars are.

There have been numerous posts in this thread that include an opinion either way about the game, with an explanation of why the poster feels that way, that haven't resorted to insulting other posters. That's fine.

The posts that called dissenters idiots, on the other hand, are gone.

Why this thread and not others? Not all posts are able to be reviewed by moderators. The topic of this one is an instant, "keep a close eye on me" flag.

Hope that clarifies things.

Eugaet · Jul 17, 2006, 12:29 AM // 00:29

Definitely staying.

Been around since E3 for Everyone. I've probably played more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the previous 2 months (RL responsibilities are a pain)...Dragon Festival sucked me back in and I've been playing GW:F content exclusively ever since. Heck, even all my Tyria chars are running around Cantha right now.

Actually, I'll be playing less in the next few weeks, but not because I don't want to...more RL reponsibilities I need to take care of...

Buying Chapter 3 at release. Of course.

Holoman · Jul 17, 2006, 12:39 AM // 00:39

I took a 9~10 month break before returning back for Faction.

Replicant · Jul 17, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Quit

game just wasn't fun anymore with the whole "balance pve and pvp" crap

Cottage Pie · Jul 17, 2006, 01:12 AM // 01:12

I quit months ago, just swinging by to see how the games shaping up.

my reasons?

In game community seemed to shrink and noobs appeared everywhere, scamming (by said noobs), the 'economy' - way too regulated & way too easy to get rich,

But PvP really broke the donkeys back, far too organised, too limited, dominated by builds, etc...i found it impossible to have a really 'good' time, you knew if you were dead or not so quickly in fights, that most of the fight was just dying or winning. I loved the 12 V 12 randomness, but that went, so i never got factions...and that's it realy. hello, i suppose.

Whilst i played guild wars I did enjoy it however, i guess i knew when i was playing for...less than healthy reasons. :P

all the above is my opinion and not up for debate/flaming etc.

I'm currently waiting for the age of conan to be entered into public beta

staying, i guess.

i dont really forsee this as a problem for this game, as much as another ive played, where every single update/patch was a complete turnaround. aa ftl!

ps: not a rant or rave, just an "observation"

Tarun · Jul 17, 2006, 01:27 AM // 01:27

Quitting. The game is already dying due to a majority of NCSoft/ANet's nerfs and other methods for screwing the game up. They took the fun out of the game.

lightblade · Jul 17, 2006, 01:30 AM // 01:30

wrong place to ask this question. those that want to stay must be reading this. those that are considering quiting is not reading the forum, as well as those already quited

Crimson Ashwood · Jul 17, 2006, 01:32 AM // 01:32

So, the fun in the game was having infinate minions and warriors absorbing elemental damage with certain types of armor and shields? Geez, talk about dramatics. I feel like I'm in a cheesy episode of days of our lives... some, get this community a box of tissues.

Lady Lozza · Jul 17, 2006, 01:50 AM // 01:50

lol Crimson.

Staying.
