does the game get boring?

I got bored today so just helped some pugs do Unwaking Waters, Raisu Palace and kill Shiro a number of times. Then I mapped around to a number of places in all campaigns looking at the party search screen for people looking to do something (no, I didn't find anyone looking for a party @ places like DoA, Umbral Grotto & other places near popular dungeons. Where are all the pugs?). Then went to Tombs and formed some pug B/P parties until they made me lost all faith in humanity, and I logged off an hour earlier than I normally do.

Motivated? not really today.
Bored? yes, because of lack of motivation or goal.
Lack of things to do ingame? definitely not.

No matter. I'll log back on tomorrow and do something else. Most likely head to Sorrows Furnace for a change, or start mapping Tyria which I've been putting off for the longest time.

There is always something there to do, it's only a matter of if you want to do it. Unfortunately there's always going to be people saying there's nothing to do. That's never the case and it's only that they choose not to do the things that are available to them.

When in doubt, go help some struggling pugs. You spend all that time building up your character to be something to be proud of... there's your chance to show it off and do a good deed at the same time.

The question is not "Is the game boring?" Instead, a more useful question is "How long did you play this game before you got bored?"

You'll get a wide variety of answers, based on playstyle, amount of entertainment garnered from the content, etc. Then based on how long it took people, and what they did in the game, you can get an idea of how people feel about the game.

At the end of the day, however, none of that is particularly relevant. Fun is subjective. Something I might find endlessly amusing might make you want to ram your head into a brick wall after 10 minutes, and vice versa.

So play the game yourself. When you get bored, you can look back and say you got X amount of time out of the game. That's really the only measure worth mentioning, as no one's going to be able to tell you that you'll enjoy the game for X amount of time before suddenly getting bored and wandering off to play whatever's hot at that point in time.

id have to say everyone gets boring, life itself gets boring, sry thats how this world functions, people get bored of doing everything, ur not gonna play gw for 60 years tho, it wont prolly last 10 but w.e the question is how long its gonna take to get bored

Some things are only boring for a small while.
Fact.

Example: Super Smash bros...I just keep coming back!
Another example: tales of series
Final example: Having your family jewels!

Once again I repeat.
When GW gets boring take a careful look for anything that interests, you take a walk through low level pve and enjoy the scenery for awhile. If that does not work, download the Gimp if you do not have photoshop, or a C++ compiler and take up graphics art or programming, another is IRL art.

Also consider playing a different game for a few months/week,
Finally if that does not work...

You must do something scary.
You should go outside of your house...........

Your my hero.

WHAT? no way menz i cant.... its just too harsh world out there, kinda like vermin , eh?

If you were cris tucker and you asked
" Do you understand the words comin' out of ma! mouth!"

I'd say no.

did you post in the wrong topic

QFT

Yea it gets boring. I feel like punching babies after doing the legendary guardian thing. And vanquishing does kinda feel like watching paint dry tbh. But I take a break from playing GW occasionally, come back after a few weeks, and it feels fresh and new again. And then it gets boring again.

So, to summarize: If it does get boring, take a break, do some RL stuff, come back, play, enjoy, get bored, take a break, rinse and repeat.

If all you do is play GW you'll probably end up head-butting a bullet.

yes .

All games get boring after a point.

Postin' after Silly!

But seriously: It's a game. Of *course* it'll get boring. If it doesn't than goddam I wish I could be you.

More importantly, it's not a game that's meant to get you addicted. This ain't no MMO, just an RPG.

well after doing the same quests and missions for the 9th time it does indeed get boring, espicially some missions.....Zen Daijun for example, o how I hate that mission.

Yes it gets boring but then I have 4 other games installed so I can go play them

By the time I had finished prophesies once and factions 3times I was bored.
Gave up on gw till NF came out.
Bored again before I finished that
Gave up again till Gwen

Now I am back in Prophesies trying to ascend as a Monk and my interest is rekindled, I am using heroes and henchies as I don't want to show my ignorance of being the party healer on real live players.

I will admit, this game has a lot of content, but more and more I find myself playing less and less. As they nref more of the skills and content, it make me evern more less likely to play, now if they start buffing stuff, well the might spark my interest, but for now, time to give it a rest.

The game has a few boring points( ie rep grind) but actually its not a boring game at all. The reason many people get bored is they are too stupid to know when they have finished the game and keep logging on after they have done everything.

It would be boring except for the online thing. These days I use it mainly for socializing. (And PvP)

No matter how good something is, it's gonna get boring after a while. If you ate the most expensive dinner in the world every night, you're gonna get sick of it sometime. Guild Wars is no different.

Of course I know that he means new content. But that's a given that there isn't going to be new content. It's also obvious that all games become boring. New content doesn't always renew interest in games. I was bored before Gwen was released; I was bored after Gwen was released. At least you have the updates to shake things up in the game. People use the same builds and breeze through areas, but at least we have these nerfs/buffs to alter the state of the game. It doesn't matter if some of them were mind boggling, the point is that Anet is trying to keep the game fresh. I don't care if you think Anet's failing at trying to keep the game "new," but at least they're doing something.

My two pennies.

Yeah, I took a break, and we started doing dungeons, so I got more active. Only two left...I wonder how long that excitement will last. Also, I have been working for obsidian, almost gave up, now I'm closer than ever. Once I get it, I wonder what will happen...

Does any game not?

I mean, I've only taken one break from GW in 2 and a half years, but that's the good thing, you can put it down and come back.
