there's no guild wars in guild wars 2

[Curtis Allen]

I just bought Guild Wars 2. By the looks of what you've said in your vids I'm looking forward to playing. It seems a lot more fun than WoW that I've wasted money and time on for farrrr too long.

I'd use the word "Different"

.as a mmo gamer i found this video very stupid.

gw2 is a failure for all the things mentioned in this video.

shame, its a damn beautiful game..

in GA (Global Agenda) that is dying, i can still find 10 people in less than 5 mins to make a raid, and in that game you have only 10 mins to play the raid, after that 10 mins you have to wait 70 mins untill the next raids time =D.

well me and my IRL mate used to over-analyse the shizzle out of it. We really searched for tactics and ways of how to approach encounters. But now, when everybody has better gear and we understand the game more, it does indeed get boring and to casual. Kinda quitted GW atm.

But the whole point of GW was to be build for casual players. That's why there are no roles, gear is (semi) pointless and dungeons are scaled down. I liked the idea, but atm the lack of proper PvE content does indeed annoy me

But dungeons aren't that hard. They take a bit of coordination (some, not all), but you can pug every one of them. That means there's no real accomplishment for a guild to work toward. The good players in this game are either doing PvP or working on speed run times for dungeons. Everything else is casual. ANet needs to get off their asses and put in some hardcore PvE content to keep people interested.

[Todd Crawford]

You sir, obviously didn't play GW1. GW2 only took the lore from GW1. It left all the creativity, build planning, and ingenuity. I play GW2, but it's a game made for casuals if you're not doing PvP. The only reason why you don't see people with maxed gear in such a short time is the requirement to do dailies. Otherwise, you could get fully exotics/ascended gear in a few days. They need raiding to compete at all with other MMOs in the longterm.

[RingoFreakingStarr]

I'm sorry but I like 8 man and 16 man raids in SWTOR. To respond to your "it's hard to find players for big groups", I rarely go into any raid without a full guild group. If we do have to pug it is usually 1 or at most 2 dps since you can carry a dps or 2. I really wanted to like GW2 but the apparent lack of "endgame" content makes it just not worth lvling a character in my honest opinion.

[Derpula Stevens]

You sir, know nothing.
