so over the past.... 5 months ive been playing guild wars. i feel like a big noob.

all i want is the money.

i once farmed 60k off of minitours outside icetooth cave normal mode just so i could get my rits max armour whites dyes tomes and such for her farming build.

then itry a few times HM farming.

too my surprise it doesnt work.

i really dont know what i want to do in guild wars.

i was thinking of just pvping for z-keys... but even that gets frustrating.

soo heres my question.

Find a new game to play, I only get on GW for updates.

Next skill update that will come I'll probably play for about 3-5 days. Mostly RA to test the skills, then move on again.

There's only so much development of a character you can accomplish in that setting. It becomes more about the people you are playing with in your guild at some point, and your friends in game, than much of anything else.

I love the game dearly, made many friends, have been in two great guilds and spent a great deal of time with the people in them. For me I guess it always came down to that eventually. When I wasnt in a guild or they werent online, I pugged and had great experiences and some of my best times in game (yeah, really).

Set a goal. For a while it was income, so I made millions, spent millions, made millions more. It then became titles. Both activities are a sort of farming imho, so just set a goal and work towards it, and enjoy the people you are playing with, or find some with whom you do.

I miss it, but, alas, my PC is no more, so I am done. :P I'm a mac person - not buying a new PC just to game on.

Anyway, to the OP - take a break. You'll find the reason you want to come back. Only way I havent come back from a "retirement" is this time, where I have a technical reason I cannot.

There really isnt much point in money at this stage in the game, the economy got killed off by anet, duping managed to finish anything high-end off completely.

Gotta agree with the people saying stop playing, ive not really played for longer than 30min for a good 2 months now, the main reason is that all the people i play with stopped playing aswel.

Look for other farming build - NM builds often do not work HM farming but if farming is what you enjoy there are spots you can do it. Unlike NM farming, however, the different areas often take different builds in HM. It can be fun to find new areas to farm with new builds.

If you want money, get a smite solo UW build and learn it. Or a GW:EN material farm build... destroyer cores, relics, etc... It's actually so easy to make money now it will bore you soon enough because there's nothing to buy.

Guild Wars is not WoW. It was not designed to be crack to keep you playing, because it does not benefit Anet for you to play non-stop, only to play for awhile when the new Chapter/Expansion comes.

Play another game for awhile.

do things that other ppl havent done and make up builds for pvp pve.for example i made hells precipice bonus solo . playing diferent classes also helps. after 29 months i only log in to try new builds that usually work and thats reward enough for me . joining a good guild might be a change

A game as good as crack is a good game indeed.

And your right when you say GW is not WoW. No it definately isnt. GW is fail, WoW is brilliance.

I stopped playing over the summer, then tried WoW out. Found it very repetitive so came back to GW. I don't play much anymore, just every now and then with a couple of people I met when I first started playing.

i dont have nightfall and i do just fine just a thought: many ppl that have nightfall suck in pvp ! so having 1 or 2 skills diferent in a build coppied by everyone (witch is pretty silly imo) shouldnt be a problem! ultimatelly its all about skill

I've found myself working on titles and new characters - I've made a second monk a while back but got bored already though... so these days it's titles. Vanquishing, rep point farming/HM hero books, rest of the time I'm in FoW/UW or idle in my GH.

Are you serious man? LOL, sorry that's just too funny. You didn't have to buy anything new. Just contact support or ask Gaile here and tell her your info or something. Also if you are gonna use passwords and forget them, write them down.

This game is terrible now. If you really want money try farming UW, it's a decent cash flow and there's quite a few characters that can solo it.

Sell all your stuff, delete the character, and start over with something new.

I dunno why people think PvE is "limited."
Unless you have discovered EVERY potential profession combination and beaten ALL campaigns/ expansions in Hard Mode and constructed EVERY potential build and achieved EVERY title in ALL campaigns/expansions with MULTIPLE sets of prestige armor.........you still have a long way to go.

And that's if you aren't interested in PvP.

No, you probably have it confused with something else.

That, or you were passing an opinion off as a fact. You didn't like Crysis. Ok, that's your preference. I recommend it as a good game. Perhaps you don't.

There is TONS to do than to just farm in Guild Wars. If that is all you are interested in doing, well then your not going to have much fun playing this game.

My guild and I have a rotation where we take turns giving shardsa dn ecto to one person to get obsidian armor. So promote that in your guild and get armor for everyone.

Go for titles such as Legendary Master of the North and grind for all of those titles.

You cant say there is nothing to do when you have the opportunity to get r6 KoaBD because that makes for a ton of shit to do.
