PvE skills meta is as stagnant as PvP. At least it is when you are a ranger, we get so few updates it's not funny.

I'll play again in a couple hours...

I'll probably start playing more when 7 hero groups are available. Until then, I'll most likely just log in every week to collect Nick items.
StormDragonZ
I'll play again when I log-in later today.
Unlike a fair amount of people, I actually take my time to do things and don't immediately get it done the second it becomes available.
You know, taking my time to enjoy the GO RED ENGINE game.
Anyone who's bored with this game hasn't tried everything there is to do. After all, can anyone truly say it's possible to beat Hell's Precipice, with bonus, in HM with only 3 people?
I mean, people could solo Underworld, drop urns to complete Domain of Anguish and obliterate The Deep with an entire time of Elementalists, but what about the most bizarre ideas?
I, for one, can say I've successfully beaten Urgoz's Warren after 5 people left believing we could never beat it without two Monks and a SoS Ritualist.
That's the problem with most games now. No one tries to challenge themselves and figure "Hey, I beat the game. I guess that's it, then."

I'll play again when I get bored of all the other free MMO's now like EQ2 and Anarchy Online and Lord of the Rings and Dungeons & Dragons and after those when I'm bored with Diablo III. 
Guild Wars is old and haggard now. It's a hasbeen and no longer young and curvy and bouncy.

Hell, if they don't know about the game and want help, I'd be happy to do so. I'll send in pages of ideas for skill updates, game balance, and more.
Honestly, ANet should just make threads asking people for ideas and advice.
Also its hard to believe that the Derv update is still progressing and is underway... Huh....

Can you imagine trying to create or tune a game listening to a cacophony of forum feedback? Or trying to test pages worth of skill updates and trying to release those updates on time with little to no developer support? If you've got the chops, then go for it

I'll play again when I get home from work!
Drunkard, Sweet Tooth and Party Animal are all just about half done. Me and a pal farm for Nick once a week, and after I finish VQ'ing Tyria, I can start focusing on completing the EotN titles.
By the way Anet. About that VQ. Full hero parties please? I'm doing the 4/6 areas and Claude+Reyna do a decent job, but.... full hero parties please.

The reason ANet can't do it themselves is because they don't understand the game because they don't play it at the appropriate skill level or play it at all.
The only people who can actually fix the game are the players themselves with the deepest most intricate level of knowledge of how the game operates.
ANet needs more surveys of the players at the very least imo.

Granted we hadn't seen much from them, but as far as my age ravaged memory stretches, they've only been around for 2(?) skill updates.
The only people that can fix this game are the 20 or 30 programmers that are currently working on GW2, whoever we have left can't really do much outside of the few hours of extra content and the skill updates twice a year.
Not that I'm complaining, I got close to 3k hours of fun out of this game. But as far as any kind of meaningful change or more active population goes, It's not happening.

Nothing beats random retarded shit in this game. We went on a SoO earlier today, wanting to do balanced, but I didn't wanna roll monk, wanted to do it on my ssin, and some other guy too, so I ran some retarded tank build with some holy damage, and the other guy ran A/Mo UA, first he was Life Barrier or something :P
Anyway, shits and giggles^^ Was hella fun
There is nothing that goes above
-"Dude, let's go do X"
*"What build we taking?"
-"Who cares?"

Hence why I believe that ANet needs to consult their playerbase for things like balance and ideas more.

I think that to a certain extent they should, but they would have to listen to the arguments. It's not because 90% screams NERF but based on no decent arguments, that they should do so..
They should listen a bit, and weigh down the pro's and con's and see what they will cause in the game..

Of course, what they do with that feedback (nothing) is a different story.

Like interviewing top level players and guilds opinions for GvG, HA, and PvP in general.
It is noticeably harder to gauge PvE players as there is no great and defining way to measure how credible they are especially when PvE is so easy as is the case.
LifeInfusion
I play on monk for ZBs on a regular basis just to see how random people play. There's good PUGs and terrible PUG players (defy pain warriors and double dragon eles). Most monks don't bring any prots even if there's no imba or ST also.
I'll start playing with people again on my ele when eles get a HM update. Currently heroing Tyria HM because I never got around to doing it and all the people that I used to play with quit for other games or just because they finished their title grind to 30/50.
There's much doom and gloom here on guru that doesn't represent GW as well ingame. I played on my alternate (anonymous) account that nobody knows about and it's still pretty active at times. It just depends on whether you choose to say "lol nubs" to all the people that haven't grasped the game yet or try to help them be better.

I will say, though, that the idea of crippling your enemy and then forcing them to linger inside a deadly rain of fire...
Well... it seems like a good idea on paper!

Any discussions of the batshit stats and damage numbers that'll be flying around in GW2 are probably best left for the GW2Guru.

Don't exaggerate. I farmed enough ectos this past summer from the Topk to pay for everything for my obby armor set. I would farm 10 ectos a day, and it usually took me a few hours (3-4) to do so. The drop rates havnt changed since then.

I believe the major hit to TOPK happened way before "This Past Summer"

This seems to me like a trolling thread with only one message: "Arenanet, make some update to keep me entertained"
And no, I didn't heard anyone saying "I'll play again, when...". People I know who leave, leave silently. They simply don't show up any more. They don't need to explain anything - they have done in GW all they wanted do and moved on.

I played for about 90 minutes last night completing secondary/optional factions quests that have been in my quest log for ages. Seems like there's always something else to do in game.
Funny thing was I go into this chasm I've never ventured into before just outside Kaineng Center just to explore. Leads me into the EotN intro with Vekk and Ogden, dumps me into Boreal Station. This is where the story of EotN starts off from Factions. Even though I completed EotN, I'd never entered it through Factions, so that was new and kind of neat.

I'll PvP again when there are Campaign specific arenas.
Core + Prophecies skill and characters arena would suit me just fine.
I'll PvE again when none of my Eve:Online war targets are online... about 1930 GMT for a guess.

Said otherwise, you do it wrong, find a nice guild, some people who know stuff about this game, make friends, and do it with them.

I'd played since 2005 and wracked up thousands of hours cos I was hooked. I was a PvE'er, with rare excursions into ABs, and had experienced completing everything in the PvE game except the titles. I saw the big bot awareness threads popping up around xmas 2009 and as a person with an I.T. background looked into it and found it a refreshing challenge to write bots.
ANet can even thank botting for me purchasing a second account (also banned).
I do miss not being able to visit the visually appealing areas of the game again, but when bot-writing is more fun that the game itself I know I'd overstayed my welcome.
The trouble is, if I was un-banned I would not want to play without my bots, so we'd best leave it at it that.
