Hello you guild wars guru's!

I need some opinions from you guys, i've always loved mmorpg's, and guild wars was my favorite on the short list of those i've played. Until 4 months ago when my computer broke, i was playing it, and now i'm itching to get back on an mmo, and installed guild wars right after!

But like 4 months ago, i found out that i have nothing else to do in the game, and nothing to keep me on it!

And this is where i need you guys, i've finished the prophecies campaign 3 times, and the EoTN and Nightfall once... I've maxed out all my characters, got elite armor on them, done pretty much everything i can remember, but right now i don't know what to do. I thought of buying Factions wich i don't have, but i'm not about to spend money on a game that i'll probably not even finish.
I'm just tired of continously killing mobs alone, with a henchmen party only, for an online game i feel awefully lonely. I don't have a guild at the moment, and even tough i like the pvp side of the game, that alone isn't enough for me.

I hope you see my problem, i still love guild wars, pretty much everything about this game but i just don't know what to do next, for a week all i've been doing is giving away some of my weapons for newbies in ascalon. I very much want to keep playing, but honestly don't know how.

SO - i'd like to know what keeps you in this game. Is it the titles (wich i'm not into at all), the guild teamwork, simply grinding... Whatever it is really, please share your thoughts opinions and ideas, what do you do after finishing the campaigns, and what can i do next?

Cheers!

ps: sorry for the long post xD

I'd suggest to find a good guild, if you're guildless. They may take you on runs, or you can help them as well - sometimes teaming up with people or meeting new ones help you in keeping into the game.

I focused on titles for a while but I got bored of it, so now I'm spread on 3 different online games, plus console stuff I'm trying to play on again.

And when it gets really boring and nothing sounds interesting, IMO it's time to move on. Not everyone plays GW for the same reasons.

Titles (do them in random spurts though lol), trying new builds and talking to/helping friends etc.

Well its the Guildmates and the Friends that i've made that keep me here, as well as getting titles and items that i want, of course i do takes breaks here and and there, but i'm not gone a long time. The one thing i love about Guild Wars is that you can leave, come back, leave and come back.

P.S. Of course my Main goal is to get GWAMM

I would say PvP and the fact that there's nothing better to play. It's definitely my favorite MMO.

If you don't care for PvP, then nothing. Guild Wars has no end game content unless you think hitting the 1-8 keys on your keyboard is "end game content".

If you've done everything in the campaigns, and you don't care for PvP, just find something else to do, you've gotten your money's worth.

As far as what keeps ME in the game: nothing. I stopped logging in weeks ago, except to torment stupid people in LA every now and then when I'm bored.

Kusandaa i play a few other games too, but i played guild wars for over 6 months, and even today i still have the urge to jump on my warrior or monk and get into some mob killing. Few other games struck me the way Guild Wars did. But after 10 minutes of gameplay, i quit in absolute boredom, that's why i'm want to hear opinions, even tough i play other games i'd rather try to find something else to do in GW than to move away from it. :P

Ctb that is very true... I was thinking into getting into another MMO, thought of trying on wow for a month, not more, i'd rather avoid the subscription fees... All i am is giving this game one last change before it's left on the shelf permenantly.

Haha, that sums it up nicely.
Sometimes I'll work on my other neglected chars if I get bored of my main and stuff.

I found myself asking this a little over a month ago while I was "playing" grinding out Kurzick faction for a few hours, realizing that I am now just wasting time, figured it was time to take a chance and try something else. Will I come back? Most likely, its just once you get to a point in this game, it is like hitting a wall.

PvP as in GvG and TA

Oh, and the occasional creation of solo farm builds.

I've been playing PvP since the beginning.
That's what keeps me playing GW.
PvE is boring and easy, especially when you have a GWAMM.

I uninstalled a couple of months ago. What have I missed? An event mask? Yeah, that's what keeps me not playing.

I suppose they added some skill stuff but I don't care, it amounts to GW2 pre-tests anyway. They're just too transparent these days.
