TheSikksens: The storyline is certified made for modern audiences

xiampiii: Nah bro, Gw2 is woke af the entire End of Dragons expansion was woke slop and the store nickle and dime you at every turn. Oh you like having nice cosmetics? Get your wallet ready!!!

beerasaurus: I tried to play GW2 but I always found the combat mind numbingly boring.

Royal.Grand.Majesty: I personally always have GW2 as my secondary MMO while rotating between many of the Triple A Vertical Progression MMOs.

I feel GW2 is a great place to relax and play the game at your own pace. I play for the experiences that I have with other players.

I feel as I have gotten older, the concept of GW2 is becoming more and more appealing as the years go by and having more commitments out of the game leads to certain games where your gear and stats are constantly improved upon every patch becomes more of a chore than enjoyment. I prefer Horizontal Progression a-lot now, especially since I have branched out to many other Genres of gaming, I love the pick up and play formulae that most new games tend to focus on. Love it or hate it, GW2 is here to stay, especially for people who love the MMO concept, but rather than chasing a number every patch, we play for the experiences. In comparison to your typical vertical progression MMOs, every new patch you are focused on one thing, quickly acquiring the highest Item Level gear. Every quest, dungeon, raid, world quest you do, you are thinking of the gear, you are tunnel visioned on that one goal, while you are completely ignoring the new content in-front of you.

Even though GW2 has no gear progression, the ability to customize your build is quite amazing, sure if you want to maximize your DPS, there's only a handful of choices. You can choose to do harder content or stick with the more casual content. The beauty of GW2 is that you are rewarded for doing either. Now that the PvE Open World Legendary armor is released, players of all skill levels have access to the best gear in-game. Unlike in your typical Vertical Progression MMO where the best gear is locked behind difficult raids or pvp. Sure you can make counter arguments for each of these points, however what I'm trying to say is that GW2 gives all players an even playing field in terms of 'Power', the difference lies in your skill and dedication to the game, not some arbitrary number that is artificially increased every patch which leads players to be blinded to what's in-front of them.

haywoodjablowme6075: The games like Guild Wars were great when they first came out... until the 'meta' crap got popular. I remember when 'meta wiki's' first became a thing. Does anyone else here still get triggered by the words 'Sunburst Monk'? The PvE is still fun either way though.

Fiffelito: Sure... until you get furthter into the game, my warning lights went off when they started with the living world back in 2013, then fast forward 4 years to Path of Fire, where as a Human you have to choose diety at creation start and if you chose Balthazar or Kormir and you actually met your chosen diety... a throw-away line, no impact, no weight, crap writing.. something the players were VERY let down about.

Meanwhile the living world woke trash story went on... every june that rainbow flag sneaked itself in somehow.

Then... End of Dragons... full woke. jesus christ not "on the nose" but rather "rubbing it in your face" and expect you to ask for more.

GW2 while it WAS a good game... The writing, the devs, the studio hates you.

da_roachdogjr: The function fullfillment thing, me and my friends call it

"the hamster wheel"

"Run little hamster, do another daily quest, water those rocks, good, good"

mikeso2084: Agreed on the Lost Ark bit! FF14 players are more toxic that LoL players, especially when you say the game is crap!

IRedpunk: It's a good game but the story is plagued by woke dev writers. It is so cringe it's not even funny. Path of Fire was cool though.

The issue with GW2 is that, once you got the fashion you wanted, the game gets stale very quick. Despite the nice outdoor content. It's still a good game to hop on from time to time.

shamurai7: GW 1 was superior to GW 2 in every regard

Troonielicious: Best MMORPG of all time is RAIIIIID SHADOW LEGEEEEENDS!!!

leandrobenitez292: i hadn't heard about for years, last i haeard some woke moron began sneaking woke shit in the lore but then i lost track of it, thought it had been discontinued

xyr3s: Gw2 is great. It's not for everyone. But it's great for those who enjoy it.

ClayRoks: No

harlowisla: the million different currencies is one of the worst parts of this game

insiainutorrt259: Abhorently horrid gamplay and story.... tried a few times its a worse than fallout 76 couldt see a single reason to take a single step much less anything else

ozanxD: Too Expensive DLCs and demo is just too bad to try game

shogenx: pretty sure Arenanet did gliders first before zelda, but i think the first gliders was that ArcheAge

chestermadrigals45: Honestly thank you so much I needed to find a new mmo that isn’t wow related. Wow private servers dealing with complete asshole psychos on warmane has gotten completely old.

Ff 14 is just not for me at all, way to tedious for me and I even played through the base game.. it does not magically get better

BlacklusterPally: Orizzontal*

richardPhilips2: Wow I mean this guy really is a shill i mean read the comments, it's all the game is trash, oh he lives in Los Angeles that explains it

dominusdevacore517: I tried it and the storyline was awful. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't pushed down your throat.

NecroViolator: What I HATE is :

Skins are behind paywalls, in Black Lion Chest where you have to PAY for keys that were FREE before !. GREEDY !...

Achievements !!!! SUCK !!!!... You have to do absolute stupid things just to UNLOCK an Achievement just to continue anything ingame... STUPID !.

Other than that its the only MMO I play..

samuraichicken2315: You know a game is epic when Qwazar makes positive videos about it.

KamiKaXi: I'm playing Guild Wars 2 since beta in 2012 and is my favorite game ever, this upcoming Tuesday is a huge update with lots of things
