Title Says It All.
I like playing PvE In general with PEOPLE,not H&H.Slight problem there though-Being English in an American guild is pretty hard.75% of the time I find myself the only one online,but I dont wanna leave cause I made some great friends.

So.

I go on a Adopt A Newb Campaign. Just find some random player asking something like "How do I uncustomize this longbow I just bought?" or "Anyone got any good hammer builds for my monk?"

Just run em through a few Ascalon missions and maybe make a friend or two.

Or I just chat with the general population of any city or outpost. Usually quite funny.

Oh I do wanna try stand up comedy in Lions Arch or something. I've always wanted to be a comedian, so might as well start online where the hecklers can't throw beer glasses at you and stuff.

I can say I've been there and I have done different things to amuse myself in
Guild wars.

1) I'll help other people with mission I've already done.
(This can also help with getting more members for your Guild)
2) I've tried making other characters with different professions.
a) Make a monk everyone seems to need one when playing
(It also helps having all four chapters.)
3) Try making a 55 monk or Nerco.
(They aren't easy as people think, Its alot of work just to make one)
(Also trying to use it properly)
4) Try Pvp
(I know I still stink at it)

I'll PVE with you IGN(s) Ferret Deathsquad (N), Monking for Ferrets (M)(trying to make a 55 monk with this one in Prophiecs), Sir Ferret Muffin or Sir Muffin Ferret (D)(its one of the two). Only problem there might be is I'm in America EST time.

I either wander towns spreading chaos (I've gotten fairly good at getting loads of people arguing) or just do something else.

You're right, it isn't as easy as people think. It's easier.

Leave it and make other things in my GW scheduled time until they make an interesting update.

Then I come back, see the magnitude of the update, and stay again for more time the bigger content and change the update adds.

I try not to let myself get bored. I'll run a lower char through something i haven't done in ages, then go cap some skills, then hop into a dungeon with my alliance, or go beat on lvl 8 charr and hoard their carvings until halloween lol
or crack out the ingame booze, and read a book

account whipe!
no umm... as stated above, use some players which are new to the game...
if you're not familiar with a profession, make one, who knows what happens
buy something expensive and get your bank back up as high...
join a CoF farmer... who knows you get a decent drop

I'm getting bored more often nowadays... my main is ranger, so I try some new farms... working on titles... exploring in ascalon (HM?)

do something WILD! rrauwtch

I prefer bringing my Ranger buddy along and doing the Famine/55 combo, IW allows you to kill the Coldfires unlike with the monk version, just have to be careful with the DN popups and PR them.


OT: I play one of my other characters, or you know, go out and do something.

That's the best thing to do. GW was designed to be a pick up and play an hour or so game. It wasn't designed to be a game to be involving and time consuming.

Someone else has probably said the same. This is the first time I didn't read all the posts in a long time.

Okay. So this is one instance in which a RL is a good thing.

To answer the OP:

GW started to bore me in January 2006. and here we are 2 years later. I think the best way to deal with boredom is to grin and bear it.

Ursan?Wouldnt that be Grind and Bear it?Any ursan groups either look for a monk or a r8+,and since most of the time I cant be bothered to spend 1hr+monking,and my ranger is r5,most ursanway groups just dont do it for me.

Read my thread {Come and join me if you wish} posted below I am still doing this and I am having a blast. I have made it through prophesies, and have just started GWEN. I don’t have much money but I really don’t care and just got my first max damage weapon drop for me. It has been a blast I highly recommend it.


How many of you played the game once then followed with the remainder of your characters as fast as you could…. skipping almost everything. Well I am sure a lot of you have. Well I have done this before and I figured what the heck I am going to do it again. But I ask anyone who is bored with the game to come join me. This is what I am doing I am deleting a character and starting a new one in prophesies. I am putting special restrictions on my new character to make things fresh.

1. If I can not carry it I will not have it - No going to storage at all… until you are done with all campaigns.
2. I will not buy from other players – Weapons and off hands must be found or you can purchase from crafters if you have the material in your pack.
3. Armor from collectors - For upgrades on armor I am going to try for collector sets…. but since I am not using storage if I have the material in my bags which I found along the way it is ok to buy.
4. (This is an optional restriction) Skills- well here is the fun part since I am choosing a Mesmer its Mesmer only skills. This restriction will go into effect when you get to post (so in pre you can use whatever skill you get) I am going to do quests for most of my skills. You can buy skills if you wish for your primary class only and no tomes can be used.
5. Runes - Find them do not buy (ok to sell them)
6. Gold - See how much you can get but do not go to storage. If for some crazy way you have made a 100k then buy ectos, rubies, or onyx to offset your wealth and enable you to gain more gold.
7. No Running- You can not buy a run or mission run ever. You are playing the game for fun not… paying the game.
8. No Campaign Jumping- When you start one you finish it then move to a new one. (No jumping to factions buying max armor and jumping back to prophesies, or going to nightfall getting heroes and jumping back)
9. Hero’s can be used in Nightfall and GWEN only.
10. No mission skipping do them in order and enjoy it. You do not have to stress about getting masters/bonus it is for fun.
11. At least three times during the campaign do something nice for someone else. Help on a quest, randomly give something to someone, take the time to explain to someone new hints and tricks etc…
12. Explore anywhere you wish
13. And most of all Have Fun

I hope to see you in pre
