So? Everyone I know of that played WoW left it. Sure, some went back but most didn't. Anecdotal evidence is horseshit.nikago said:

I was thinking more along the lines of crushing it with my SR Dildo Bat. D:MinionJoe said:
OT: The only MMO I'm even intrigued with is ESO, since the beta peaked my curiosity a bit. Other than that, I have no damn time for these time sinks known as MMOs!
I would actually have kept playing guildwars 2 if
A. I could enter first person instead of either being stuck at a terrible sort of weird downwards angle staring at the back of my character who takes up 1/3rd of the screen at all times or zoomed so far out I can barely make out what the fuck is going on. Your Beautiful environments count for nothing if all I can do is look at the back of my own head all day.
B. If there was something to work for or strive towards, once you get to about level 20 you've pretty much advanced as far as you're going to advance combat wise and the only thing to work towards after that is arbitrary numbers made more arbitrary by the fact that they are scaled downwards or upwards to make sure they're never to far away from the other numbers. Seriously add some mounts or maybe a guild hall you can deck out or make it so you can use your vanity set in combat by doing something like WoW's transmogrification or something. (The Dyes, Professions, and achievements sort of do this but not much)
and
C. If the personal story didn't have a really weird level curve, I kind of hate that I do one mission where I beat up four assasins then the next mission to chase down those very same assasins to their hide out is two levels higher, it's really hard to follow a story when you have to punctuate it with three-four hours of roaming around looking for apples between every page.
These things all felt like pretty big game breakers to me at least.

There is no 'strawman' here because I made no argument. One thing you and all your self-righteous ilk seem to be ignoring here is that I made no 'argument', strawman or otherwise. I stated an opinion that people with inflated senses of self worth are constantly giving flak to GW2.Twenty Ninjas said:
Now if you don't care for that opinion, fine, but that's your problem, not mine.
Funny, those forum "communities" are also why I can't play the game anymore. Not because the game isn't fun, but because playing it forces me to be directly associated with people like that: people who can never be happy no matter what they've been given, have absolutely no clue about game development yet make demands for it anyway, feel entitled to a virtual experience that replaces actually having a life because its easier than making one themselves, have no respect for anything but themselves, and couldn't hold a polite conversation to save their lives. Being lumped together with those "people" is something I simply cannot stomach. It's the same bullshit that World of Warcraft, EVE, etc., have suffered from for years, to their extreme detriment, and the main reason I (among many, many others) don't bother with MMOs anymore.nikago said:
I hope you're happy with yourselves, and you can all go die in a very large fire for all I care.
There, I'm not ignoring you anymore. Is that better?
This advertisement amused me. I like guild wars 2, I don't play it much these days but I think it's pretty nifty and this entertained me. Not sure why anyone should be embarrassed by the games they play at this point. You live in a world where the biggest summer releases involved comic book characters. We've won, it's okay to be nerdy. If you've got time to worry about what people think about you, you've got time to realize how silly it is to worry what others think.
