i have the same feeling, the only reason i come on now is because i have so much time to waste for the next 2-3 weeks. when i do come on though i just do quests that i havent odne, keeps me entertained for a little while.

If you don't find it fun, close GW and step out of the house.

If you're not having fun with GW, I think you should take a break from it. There's no point in forcing yourself to play a game you're not enjoying. It'll only make you like it less in the long run. I forced myself to grind to make better use of the PVE skills when I had nothing else to do. This kind of backfired since I really don't want to touch GW any more. I barely play 1 hour a week.

When im bored i just go for my legendary skill cap title. Little addition tho, I only do missions and introduce myself into complete random pugs.
Since Im a monk fun is guaranteed. (for those not getting it: try preprotting 2 shadowstepping sins and an E/A inferno nuker)
I always have a blast.

Why do people keep making these threads, there's been hundreds of them.

People stop playing when bored and come back later.

All in all, I agree with fowlero. Ironic that I'm putting forth the effort to add to this one...

Can't, allergy to almost anything outside. Dust, some trees, grass, cats, poison monkeys and large amounts of cheese/milk.

If I'm bored in GW, I play something better.

I've been going back to console gaming these days... well I would if my PS2 would be working.

If I'm on GW I'm doing one of these things:
- SJM/GTOB chat, waiting for people to argue with. It's entertaining.
- Farming on my assassin.
- Joining a random PUG and telling my guild how we're currently failing.
- Working on my rit through NF.

Won't be like that once I find a job and TBH... I really, really want a job >_>.

I've stopped playing for good 6 month patches in the past and that helps. PVE for me is a no go, unless there's certain missions I enjoy...mostly the factions ones as that was my first ever version of GuildWars, although I now own all of them. I got myself and my heroes all pets to level 20 two days ago, and had a bash running around with a herd of animals killing things, but that got boring. I could write an essay on how PVE has been made redundant because of the GWEN skills that came about, but that's for another day. I just hope that with GW2, the make it so YOU HAVE to use PUGS to create more teamwork like the old days. Where planning out strategies actually took time, and where you met and bonded with players all around the World because of it. The game for me personally has turned into more of a single player fantasy genre, simply put because people avoid PUGS and all go Ursan. Anyway see, I'm rambling already!

PvP is fun for me, even I dare say, Alliance Battles. If you work as a good group then it has endless fun. If you want to meet up in game for some, just PM me. I'm usually in a good group who captures.

PVP is all I use GW for now.

I quit GW from very same reason nothing left that would entertain me - so i just log in fro mtime to time for few mins and have a chat with friends.

For you - take a break and when you'll come back, you may find it enjoyable again - or maybe not

True, I like pve better when in american districts, and for pvp international or euro is the way to go...


I think joining a high-end pve guild or a pvp guild could keep you busy for some time.

If you have to force yourself to have fun with a game why are you still playing? Surely there is a single other thing in your life you can have fun doing?

Lately I've been spending most of my time HFFF for my new alliance. It's mind numbingly boring, but I like to help out my friends.

When I need a break, I close GW, go across the room, and fire up the Xbox. Right now my GW alternatives are Mass Effect and Lego Indiana Jones.

I haven't yet gotten bored of GW as a whole. I've gotten bored of one particular playstyle, but then I just start a new one (i.e. if my War is boring I try Ritualist, since caster is a great break from melee). If I don't feel like playing seriously, I'll load up a character and amble around and just explore; there are really lovely areas in this game. And if I want to actually play but don't want to face the next mission, I'll go back and offer myself in PUGs to help others along.

I 600/smite UW and FOW. Stocking up on Ectos and Shards is always fun. That and spamming for rare skinned weapons in Spamadan (that's how I sold a Rago's Flame Staff and Galigord's Stone Staff for 40k and 100k respectively. Desperate buyer indeed, but he offered to pay that much. To each his own).

That and chat with Friends who are online. If I get bored with any of this, I just log off, take a break, and re-log later.

I don't, I log in from time to time and vanquish an area, then log out for 2 weeks. Started last december and halfway done with Canthan vanquish haha.

As for what's fun, Diablo 2's ladder resets today That'll keep me occupied for the better part of summer. Plus, my old DotA crew is getting back together as well.

Then from time to time some gunbound with my dad is awesome too.

And yeah, I troll Gfaqs for the lulz.

PvP has gotten boring, gimmick builds rule HA and people are running lameway in GvG, just look at the meta for gvg, lets run defense and wait til vod... I dont know maybe im just bias to an effect, i enjoy winning before vod? Eh, PvE farming can be fun, ive been 600/smiting CoF solo and that can be fun, get decent drops. Ursan + Perma sin has created an easy way to get money in GW, might have something to do with the ecto/shard prices Honestly, do what you find fun, GW isnt life, just a hobby.

I've been being a couch potato for the past few weeks. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm going to 2 separate smart camps for 3 weeks each, I would only have my gf for fun reasons here in this little town of mine.
