Around here, colleges/universities end this week. Any other type of schooling ends next month.

I is confused.

You really didn't think this was gonna be nerfed eventually?

They want you to finished the event, not farm the event. I think that is the point that is missing from the people on the official forums.

Cliff Spradlin has announced some of ANet's plans to develop more APIs and authentication support.

Well as that user prowls the forums looking for any and every way possible to have a go at the game or anet, instead of just moving on and playing something they enjoy, I'd say sarcastic.

I thought this would be a game where you get to finish the sentence.

You know you should have quit when...
...you spend more time whining on the forums then playing the game.

...you rage quit because you can not one shot everything after you have copy pasted a build.

...you spend more time in game than in real life.

...you think you know better than Anet how to construct an MMO.

...you loose interest in Guild Wars 2.

...you do not understand why swinging a hammer around you does not create a blue circle which no one can enter.

Ooookay.  Can I have your stuff?

I guess someone already did it:

Can't wait to see the improvements!


EDIT:
T&his one looks even better:

Locking this thread for now as I sift through it.

I'd just like to make a general public announcement saying that this constant bickering back and forth between the same handful of people across the entire forum has got to stop. We don't care if you have criticisms of the game and want to express those, but each and every time both parties shit on almost every thread they participate in. The staff here are getting tired of it and so is the rest of the community (you guys are pretty much the only ones that get reported nowadays). And if you love the game, that's great, but you don't need to defend it as if your life depended on it. GW2 is not perfect, Anet is not perfect, and in some cases yes, they are full of it because it's their job; it's their job to sell their game.

So think to yourself: Do I want to see the game succeed? If so, am I being constructive with my criticisms (hint: this refers to both positive and negative opinions)? Can I seriously not think of anything to say other than bitch about GW2/Anet? Am I doing GW2/Anet/these forums a disservice by constantly crapping on/defending the game even when the other side has a good point? Has my own pride gotten the better of me in this argument?

And most importantly: Should I just move on already? Because if you continue along this path of crapping on every thread, we will make the decision for you.

Some of you people really astound me. I just can't believe the comments. Marketing is there to try and sell the product. They haven't lied, it is more than an expansion worth of content when compared to some games, not all games but some games. I don't see people here slamming companies when they say their game is the best MMO or any other such marketing bull. I don't think they have released a lot of permanent content since release but you can't discount the holiday and other temporary content. Just because it's not permanent does not discount it as being content. I would love to have had more and would love to see an expansion but that's beside the point. Then there is the comment that if they don't release 30% odd of their existing content then it's not enough for an expansion. GW2 shipped with 31 zones or something like that. That's a lot more than WOW or some other MMO's shipped at launch. Do they suddenly have to release 10+ zones before it becomes an expansion worth anything yet mom and pops MMO around the corner with 2 zones can release a 2 zone expansion and suddenly it's a massive brilliant expansion?

If most of the people complaining look at the number of hours spent in game and compare it to what they spent then GW2 offers a massive amount of value for money. If it was so bad why didn't they stop after 100 hours or even 200. Was there no games out there that they could play?

Was GW2 polished at release? Not necessarily. Are there other problems? Of course. You can't use that to suddenly discount all that they have released since then. Off the top of my head I can think of:

1) Fractals
2) Holiday events
3) Cove
4) WvW changes
5) New crafting stuff
6) Silly Living story stuff with it's dungeon
7) Redone some of the dungeons
8) Super adventure box.

People have released expansions with less content than that so they are technically correct.

People love to complain, they can find a million things wrong with a game, any game. Nothing is perfect. I see a lot of people complaining that this is wrong and that is wrong without offering any suggestions on how to fix things. That's not to say that anyone will take heed of suggestions that are offered because it could well be that you are the only person who doesn't like something or other people like something the way it is.

I play the game because I enjoy it. When I stop enjoying it I will stop playing.

And therein lies the problem. It's your problem, not theirs.

And you also got to play the game for 9 months odd before they did. That's 9 months of extra play. You pay a premium to get the game when it's first released. You can wait 10 years and you will probably get it for 10% of the new price.

See, this thread: https://forum-en.gui...endaries-Rework and scroll down a bit.

tldr version: not in active development, not even a final concept, just a bunch of ideas.
You can find precursors in the WvW rank boxes, but that's not the scavenger hunt.

Criticize GW2, but in reallity they did alot of content in the past 5 months. People say "should have been there at launch." Sure, but it wasnt. They still did ít all, could have bailed out with the money from 3+ million copies sold.

Anyway, price drop is not a bad thing, let more people play with us.

Isn't the lore of it something along the lines of :two minorities banding together to fight the popular masses then get obliterated once the heroes show up. There, summarized in one sentence.

I think they should take a long hard look at sorrow's furnace addon to see how it was done right back in the old days.

We all know ANet has the talent, USE IT.
