  • Quests/missions requiring specific heroes. Annoying if you've leveled the wrong ones.
  • Having to unlock heroes per character.
  • Having to unlock non-elites per character.

There is only one thing that I don't like in GW:The pitiful drops in normal and hard mode, especially the one for end chests!

More things I hate about GW:

Crap Drops:

Non Max Dmg weapons from level 20+ monsters.

All weapons/foci/shields should be max stats with random requirement.
Just because a a weapon is max damage doesnt mean its worth a lot. Req 12 max dmg weapons are normally merchant food.

I can't count how many non max daggers and spears I'v found from level 20+ monster drops. Oh look a shield with armor 14 from a level 24 monster, WoW! That was what I wanted!

Also the endless crap drops like Salvage Items. Does anyone really salvage everything they find? Or do they do as I do and simply ID the salvage then sell to merchant for gold?

And its not the nice salvage drops I'm talking about, Its the garbage that yields 4 wood, or 1 iron igot. OoOO! I got 4 piles of glittering dust that time! Score 3 tanned hides!

The loot system seriously needs work. I can sell salvaged items I ID for more than I can if I save stacks of materials and sell them all at once. filling my backpack, beltpouch and bags with salvage items all ID from level 20+ monsters gets more than a stack of materials at the trader.

I know everyone says GW2 will fix most problems, but that doesnt fix the current problems with GW1, and GW 2 is not a solution to problems fans of GW1 face. We are expected to accept GW1 as a failure yet keep playing it and be satisfied that we will have to give up our hard earned characters and buy a completely new game + any new installments and expansions and start all over again with the few meager bonuses we get from the monument rather than Anet/ncsoft taking the time to fix the problems on GW1. Using the money they got from us, the fans who play this terribly broken version of their vision.

I guess this shows that those of us who would like to remain with gw1 and keep enjoying the game will be unsupported when GW2 comes out. If something bothers our enjoyment, The game providers do not care. They will simply make a new game and tell us along with their fanatical supporters to deal with the losses or find a different game.

I think I will take this advice before hand with GW2 as I see how things are handled. I will continue to play and find the little bit of joy in GW that I can but I highly doubt I will support any further releases by the games providers.

My Message to them. Stop making players work so hard for so little reward.

Thats what I hate about GuildWars.

Like someone above said, required heroes in certain missions. It's not a problem in NM but when you're trying to do HM and you absolutely must take a certain hero it can quite nicely screw up my entire team build. It's ok if you can find another person (or people) to team with because then you can adjust things to fit but if you're alone and want to get a HM mission done with only your 3 heroes and henchmen it can really make a balls of things.

Most of my h/h team setups synergize very well with each other and having to remove a hero to fit in one i don't want is a pain.

That's part of what makes Hard Mode... hard. You have to work around that, work around the cookie-cutter bullshit.

Leetkids.

Then again, they are everywhere on the internet so there's no MMO where they wouldn't be. Though I have to admit, there are significantly less leetkids in GW than other online games I've played.

heh... well this looks fun...

dislikes:
1) Body block rubber banding... i can't even conceive how this problem exists,other than major incompetence...
2) H/H cutting in to my drops... its not like they need it...
3) the general economic disparity between cost and actual money accumulated... make it easier to get cash (i don't mean super easy... but what i do now for it, well, it is kinda ridiculous)
4) the weapons swap function... would it kill you to actually swap the weapon when i press the button?

id like to add body blocking in general to number one. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to just WALK AROUND someone while fighting... (This of course does not mean i don't like the idea that you can BB, but if you are going to put auto movement in, don't half-a$$ it...)


right... just thought id get that out :P


oh my, it seems i have forgotten the biggest one of all. And that is that Assassins, Ritualists, Dervishes and Paragons all have fewer skill choices than the classes that have existed since prophecies. It irks me to no end to think that i could make so many more functional build for my dervish if i had all the skills an elementalist can employ... EQUALITY FOR ALL, END THE RACISM.... campaign-ism.... w/e

1) People who always want more:
I used to help new players quite often whenever they posted a question in LA, or needed help getting to NF, or just needed 100g to open their storage.
But now everyone (~90%) I help/try to help always wants more, whispers me again and again after helping them.... why is that?
Example: Someone asks 2 questions about how to make a 55. 10 mins later that someone wants me to run him to the Elite Skill location, buy the Runes etc...... no wonder no one helps each other anymore. Everyone always wants more more more.....

2) Ignorant people:
People who simply won't take an advice:
Example 1: Someone wants to buy a Slaying Mod for a Scythe and I tell him they don't exist. He just ignores me and keeps posting.
Example 2: Someone goes: WTB Shield with Energy bonus.
I tell him there is only 1 known shield and it's given out by a collector near Frontier Gate with quite crappy stats. He responds "Ok" and goes: WTB Gold Shield with Energy Bonus.
Example 3: Someone goes "Hey can I buy your mini"
Me: No, sorry.. I don't sell my minis.
He: "Ok, then we can trade?"
.... after 20 (!!!) Minutes he gives up.....

3) Beggers:
"Can some1 plz giv me 100k"

This was my first online game to play and really liked it. But here are the 3 main things I hate.

1) some but not all titles should have been account based. I always thought treasure hunter and wisdom should.

2)loot scaling hurt the game

3)an auction system

I would not say stupid people, because we have them in real life and that is not Anets fault.

But as a first online game is was great, I loved the guild and friends I met in game and well sure miss them and playing Guild Wars.

Likes:
Vanquishing partners are awesome. Especially in hard areas. You really get to know some good players as well.
Hard mode missions. I really like these, even though some of them take quite a bit of patience.
When you find that perfect guild where everyone actually cares about each other.

Dislikes:

Rank 12 Kurzick/Luxon. Pretty much kills part of your brain.
Listening to people in AB go "WTF NOBS CNT TAK ME 1 ON 1 ?!?!".
People that were hating on Gaile right up until she arrived at events. Then they suddenly loved her.
What Ursan has done to FoW/UW/The Deep etc.
