Why does it seem that people who complain tend to never use paragraphs? Is it a rant mentality? I just simply can't read stuff like this. Format it, please, into a few paragraphs that are easy on the eyes, not a huge clump of BLAH.

I am pleading with ANET on behalf of all the smaller guilds that will be joining Factions. Guild Wars is a diverse game stands out from the competition. Why is it? Because of its large content within PvE?....No . Is it cause GW has offered a new type of RPG diffrent from others we have played in the past?... No. Then what is it about Guild Wars that makes me not want to play EQ or WoW?

You know what it is: the Freedom, the Friendship, the devotion to 8 man parties and accessiable areas for large or small guilds. The relaxing feel of not having to over-perform so you don't lose members or friends to a guild who is better and can get them places or items that we cannot.

That is a WoW driven mentality style of game play.

I know people who walk out on thier so called friends just to join a large guild so they can do Molten Core or some other impersonal questing where in that guild your # 281 of 300. But now with Factions just around the corner it looks like WoW style game play is going to become a reality.

I for one am ashamed to admit it but I have had to recently start to scramble and form a large alliance, busting my butt off as a Guild Leader to ensure that my members my friends can have the best possiable gaming experience. So instead of me enjoying GW as I always have I now find myself crunching all my time looking into finding alliances for all the wrong reasons. For fear that if I can't provide outposts and Elite PvE areas for my friends that maybe they might leave me for a more dominate outpost controling guild.

I am not certian, ANET, if it was your intention to put so much pressure on me and others like me or even if you care. But be assured of this: if my fears become a reality and GW, for most, becomes a tiresome impersonal faction farm, you can be sure I will never consider purchasing another ANET product and alot of my guildies agree.

Guild Wars Community make your voice heard now before your small guild becomes a vage shadow. And for Experienced players already in a large guild make your voices heard as well cause soon, when it comes to crunch time and your not putting in your dues of faction points towards the guild you, might find yourself forced from your guild and replaced by a more capable faction farmer.

ANET should have a road sign bettewen Tyria and Canath saying "Now Leaving Guilds Wars Now Entering World Of Warcraft: Population 1 million and deacreasing rapidly".

Copy and paste this forum Message in every GW fan site. You can make ANET aware that this kind of impersonal thoughtless game style is not wanted by GW gamers. Do it now before its too late, those laughing at my posting laugh it up now cause you just might get stung with the harsh and cold reality of just being a cog in a wheel ... sand on the beach.
That wasn't so hard, now was it?

LOL, the first thing came to my mind when I saw his huge clump of BLAH was "the hell with this crap, im not reading it".

Unfortunately I took the time to read it, you didn't miss much.

GW is becoming nothing like WoW. The biggest PvP will be 12v12, and that's not very WoWish.

A-net has things like this in check, and they've already said that small guilds will not suffer as a result of alliances. This thread would be better off in the Factions forum so people who actually know what they're talking about can respond.

P.S. TY Minus Sign.

edit: I think it's important to say that a lot of the stuff out there is also speculation.

Even though I am in a large guild...I dont agree with you, and you have no idea how factions is going to work. Why dont you wait until it comes out before you complain about how bad it is?

I can definately see where you are coming from, and I can truely understand the fear. It really is one of those things that we won't fully understand the functionality of until we actually experience it.

Also, remember that chapter 3 is being made by a different development team and is being worked on with a different basic concept in mind, so it very well could play to a style that you find more favorable.

Anyway, I just think it is too early to call anything yet. There are just too many unknown factors.

Eh alliances aren't too hard to form, and from the FPE I didn't get the feeling that alliances would play a huge huge part. Granted they didn't let us form them so I could be wrong.

Too late; he's already spamming it. Saw him another (factions) thread; same bull...not editing it again.

first i dont think many people want to spend hours farming faction. and i dont think you have to own an outpost to enter it.... correct me if im wrong. as for now i am in a pve guild that most of the members are not active leaving us with 20 active members and we believe we will be perfectly fine when GWF comes out. just chill out and enjoy the old game before the new one comes out.

There's a huge and very significant difference.

In WoW, the only way to get the very best equipment (besides spending countless hours of your life trying to get to the top PVP ranks, a feat which very few people ever achieve) is to do raid dungeons. This means if you want to be equal to your peers in PVP, you have to do some raids to get the equips.

In Guild Wars, however, maximum stat gear is by no means hard to acquire in RP (nor is it exclusive to any "elite zone") and it is literally GIVEN to you if you make a PVP character. With this in mind, there is not as much of an incentive for players to want to do these elite missions, and so much less incentive for them to be in a top ranking alliance.

Ever thought they might not really be your friends if they leave you for someone mightier?

Hey dont flame him! I completly understand wer hes coming from and im sick of all the top guilds having a "superior attitude". The top large guilds are gona own everything meaning the small guilds will become even more pointless.

Guild Wars is about SKILL... not about acquiring awesome gear or anything (because it's so easy to get good gear). Giving good alliances access to more PvE missions is NOT going to give them an advantage!

I would flame him for his lack spacing things out...

on there other hand, I understand his concerns... however I think his complaint is probably about as pre-mature as his grammar exam!

This kind of complaint/rant is better served AFTER the release of Factions.

Im a leader of a small guild, and I want to bring it back to life and get a good alliance on the go... yes it will be hard work, but thats why I like being leader ..

Not only that, I have a feeling that it will be VERY easy to get people recruited into guilds, and get alliances started...

The smaller guilds who want to stay small, are soon going to want to get involved with alliances and they will soon realise how much more fun it will be

so for now, Im just gona wait and see how it all turns out.
