Posted after Malice Black woot!

Anyways, if you're bored, go play Runescape for about 2 months. You'll come back later thinking guildwars was the best thing since guildwars.

Or you can always give me all your items and you can try start from scratch

I don't get bored with GW for a couple of reasons.

IN-GAME:
1. I don't do the same thing over and over and over. I may Vanquish an area one day, help people through missions/quests another. I may just spend time in town drunk, congradulating people on getting maxed titles and B.Sing with guildes/friends on TS.
2. I vary the way I play - sometimes I'll go out soloing, sometimes I'll PUG, sometimes I H/H or run with friends.
3. I may tackle a dungeon or Tombs run or even go jump into an alliance battle or two to break up the monotony.

OUTSIDE OF GAME: I just take a break for a day or two. I'll spend an evening just kicking back watching movies or going out with friends. Weekends, I get outside and do stuff.
The thing is no matter how you slice it up as you put above you are still doing the boring same things over and over just in a different ORDER. Because there is no evolution of character or equipment and I could accept even the cap of level 20 if the equipment kept evolving as leveling up isn't all that great either if there's nothing NEW to challenge me. Just doesn't matter though same content no matter which order you go about it is the SAME CONTENT.

Where did he say it was boring things being repeated? Who says everything in guildwars is boring but you just mix it up to make it er.. less boring?

I do loads and loads of alliance battles. So? They stay fun.

No game can continue to evolve forever or people would not buy the sequal

I have enjoyed well over 2years of fun from GW and still play more often then I probably should.

Eventualy in every game you reach a point where there is little challenge or new content to find. At that point you just have to accept that you have reached the end and move on, hopefully to a sequal

I still find fun things to so in GW, from helping new players to picking apart old missions/bosses that use to give me trouble.

Avoiding the temptation to make 'stagnation/saving GW' posts such as these would go a long way...

I know this might sound crazy, so stick with me for a second.

Before gw there was this thing called rw(real world) and there was lots to do in it. but somehow we got bored and ditched it for gw.

Maybe now its time to find a better balance between the 2 and they can both be entertaining again.........

not a flame, just a thought

AB >.>

I've grown tired of all other forms of pvp except the kurzick/luxon ones

Aspenwood and its kin.

>.> everything else just became dead >.> Not enough people to taunt >.>.

That and 1. Add new maps to pve and pvp.

3. Actually add 5 new skills to each class, people are going to go WTF OMFG >.>

Those 5 skills would be made in the prospect of balancing out others >.>
