I think you have made your point pretty clear by now. You don't like this game, so move on?
Why do you feel the need to "correct" others who have a different opinion? jonneymendoza wasn't even quoting you, yet you feel the need to keep coming back here and argue.
This thread here isn't for people who hate the game to come in and complain about it again and again. Its here for other players to discuss about the game, keeping others updated about upcoming event and contents and so on.
Please respect that.
Did u read that thread? it is about lack of content and skills. that is what people in that thread was saying.
Someone even pointed out one key thing ie for a casual user who does indeed work 60 works a week like u are mroe likely to be satisified with the amount of content it has already(taking close to 80-100 hours to reach max level in one char) whilst the people who play 24/7 will indeed want more stuff ie more content for them to explore and unlock.
My simple yet straightforward argument for this is the fact that the game is just 2-3months old. Games like Rift and Star wars and even WOW had next to no end game content when they was first released.
Also, ArenaNet has released new content during halloween for a week and now going to release more tomorrow evening.
Toss in the fact that they will release expansion packs in the future suggests that gw2 will have the necessary content to match the peoples needs for more content. You are just not going to get that on day 1 just like wow, eve etc etc.
About skills. it does require thought especially the util skills. you can unlock loads and use different combinations but during a battle u can only use 4 at a time and most of them have large cool downs so again u cant simple rinse out your elite or powerful skill.
Here is why i think the skill system is fine and challenging:
- Only 8 skills u can use at a time making u plan on what weapons, weapon combo and util skills u want to use for a given situation
- Each weapon type and weapons combo(main hand and offhand) offer a complete different set of skills
- Able to dynamically switch skill builds between two but has a slight cool down so cant abuse it
- Tons of util skills u can unlock
- Getting Trait points also adds special abilities to your skills ie a trait can increase our critical hit damage/chance
And that list just applies to just playing one character. Play another class and you will have a totaly different experience for example a thieft can use pistols but a warrior can use a shield, axe, axe and a sword? long sword etc etc the list goes on. the possibilities and variety in skills across all class is mind boggling and this is why IMO the skills system is brilliant.
I dont know if u ever played gw1 but that game offered less skill combinations then this game.
Well said.
im all for critisism but if the same people keep repeating themselfs and keep bashing the game and hoping it fails is annoying.
Like a wise man said, the people who hate something or has issues with something are the ones that generally make the loudest noise.
Now if any of the people who hate this game can actually show me a poll that covers every single account user of gw2 and shows that many who stopped playing, stopped because they do not enjoy this game, i will eat my hat off
Excellent posts jonneymendoza and maverick777.
My server (Blackgate) has been full since launch. Except late at night, it's difficult to get into PvP. With the event this weekend, it will probably be crazy (crazy fun! ahahahahaaaa *ahem*). To relay just a small example of how insanely varied this game is, I just switched my warrior from being a greatsword glass cannon DPS to being hammer defense build. It's like playing a completely new game now, as I also switched my slot skills to being kicks/charge/stomp and other knock downs. On top of that I'm practically invincible with my new armor and now in PVP I just run into crowds of enemy players and juggle them while the ranged DPS lights them up. Also, working out combos with teammates is very satisfying when executed properly. It's a ton of fun.
I've mentioned it before, but anyone who doesn't think the game has enough skills simply lacks imagination. I had over 20 skills in SWTOR on my jedi sentinel, half of them one time/useless buffs/debuffs, but the combat with my warrior is just as dynamic if not more so.
For one more dayExcellent. You're on Blackgate. I'm on Stormbluff Isle. See you on the battlefield.
. I think we're going to be kicked back down to Tier 2, which is fine by me. 
Ummmmmmmmmm.... NO apparently you've never played GW1 if that's what you think.
Guild Wars 1 had over 150,000,000,000 more possible skill combinations than Guild Wars 2! I know some of those builds would be ridiculous but the amount of variety you were offered was staggering!
People still play this game?
