Well, i didn't wanna post this in Riverside after reading the few latest threads over there so...
How many of u ppl are actually planning on continuing on whatever gw1 things u got going on?
personally i really wanna get my treasure hunter title maxed so i'll be here a only a few thousand more keys. (hopefully by my calculations i could be done before gw2 release) but i also don't plan on buying gw2 until i get ahold of some exclusive content for buying ie. limited editions or what have u. ....or until i'm tired of waiting. But just curious because(and this is why this thread is relevant in traders outpost) i don't want a bunch of dillweeds to trade with, to make profit on the support of my key fetish atm.

Done personally prettymuch all ive wanted.. so well will be just hanging abit more and gonna be really busy soon with life so wont have time for any gaming

I just plan on finishing treasure hunter title then I'm considering myself done after that I honestly haven't decided whether to get gw2 so maybe I'll come back to gw1 once in a while and reminisce on the fun but thats about it.
cosyfiep
I have no plans on playing gw2 (everything I LIKE about gw they have ditched and somethings I can handle in video games they have added)...so I will still be playing gw until I either finish everything (all my titles--treasure, wisdom, lucky, unlucky, kurzick and luxon are still on my list)...and get all my character thru everything...so it 'twill be quite some time.

I'm gonne start writing novels after gw, will be a productive use of my free time.
It's gonne be lots of fun to put my mind on paper!
So ye, maybe I'll have time for gw1, if not then at least I had a nice time during my period of gaming.

very interesting to hear that alot of u aren't gunna be getting GW2. i haven't quite decided. ive talked like i am, but really haven't decided. the only decision i've made is that i Wont be getting it unless i can get ahold of some special order with exclusive content. that would entice me. but nothing has been released of such versions....
As for greed. for me i wouldn't consider my self greedy for ectos. but, being that the only thing i want to do with this game now is max treasure. i wouldn't have the funds to do that if there is no market to sel the stuph i get as drops post gw2. thats my only concern really :/

I'm not sure yet.. From what I've seen I'd like to play it, but a part of me doesn't want to play it as well..
I'll continue to max my treasure, Lucky and Wisdom, and after that I'll get GWAMM on my ssin -maybe- until then, I'm happy with the GWAMM on my ele^^

I really hope they actually bother having a relatively random drop system but I wouldn't be surprised if they skipped it.

I know it probably won't happen, and that they learned from their 'mistakes' they made at the beginning of gw1, but I surely hope that they didn't..
Most certainly not, if they were, they wouldn't have nerfed the Mausoleum...

I wonder what market prices will be like in G.W 1 after the release off G.W 2?
Will popular itmes go up in price because less people farming them or will they drop in price because by the time G.W 2 is out people should have all cool items they wanted (less demand) + I am sure there will be plenty off cool stuff floating the market as folk close down there G.W account for the G.W 2 transition. I know that I will be handing all my stuff out for free when the time comes.

just break me down. Lol I didn't mean anything high end, maybe just fooling around in the fake PvP RA.
Black Metal
I'm spending most of my GW time alternating between whatever the Zaishen objective are for the day for my secondary (as opposed to primary and virtual mules) characters on my main account, and just tooling around with new characters on my other account.
tgh: one bit of advice -- the exclusive 'content' will almost certainly only be available on things like pre-orders and limited collector's edition sets. Thinks like Divine Aura and Coke items were only available at the very beginning, not later on. So you might want to rethink your justification on holding off on buying GW2.

i just need VQ titles to finish off GWAMM. so i guess i am here for that atleast. plus i work 6 days a week so i rarely get to get online. so those VQ's will take forever. i would also like to put a polar bear in my HoM with my lonely panda. so that means i gotta sell off my old school items and keep saving up and buying or farming ectos till i have whatever they cost this year. so we will see how things turn out. until then... keep your TV locc'd on this channel for another wonderful edition of, "Spook's going crazy for ectos" lol

If there is any divine aura or very exclusive perks like the original Guild Wars then I'll pick Guild Wars 2 up right away. I'm probably going to wait for it come out because like others I might be busy with real life activities. I just play the original for fun, don't really grind anything.
Jason Xll
I'm still considering getting GW2 solely for the aforementioned goal of hitting the market early with a chance of investing in potentially nerfed items as was the case with unconditionals, no req gold staves, q7s and crystallines back in 2005... However I too am quite dubious as to the extent of this type of rare, exclusive content in the sequel and expect GW2 to be a lot more standardised and generic, like WoW.
Judging by the ongoing trend; from the introduction of Green items, followed by inscriptions and the amendment of the game code to discontinue req7 drops and largely limit req8s, the developers seems to be aiming at a reward system which grants people rare items through the merit of pure gametime and grinding...
Although this may appeal to some people, I am more of a casual player and mostly enjoy collecting unorthodox, preeminent items rather than incessantly grind my way to some obscure piece of weaponry with pre-set, albeit superior, stats as is the case in WoW.
As for the GW1 market, it appears some allegedly lost items are floating back onto the market and I expect the quantity of oldschool rares to spike in the near future as people offload their collections in anticipation of the GW2 release. I hopeto remain occupied in the coming months if my conjecture of a "Second Renaissance" in the oldschool market proves correct.
Prices are also likely to drop as the supply of such items is largely stable due to the fact that they are either artificially limited as is the case with High End minis or simply no longer drop as is the case with uninsc Crystallines and req7s. Therefore any price changes will predomoinatly stem from demand factors which are likely to be negative as players in all market prepare for a transition to GW2 and begin to invest their wealth in terms on money and time into the new game (titles, minius, etc).
This is held by a pretty strong assumption that collectors actually relinquish their collections rather than hoarding them which may well prove erroneous as many have no need to raise money by offloading items and have the ecto anyway.
The bottom line is, I doubt I'll be progressing to GW2, especially if I'm not convinced of the existence of an elite market by the time the initial, exploratory stages of the game come to an end.

Jason pretty much summed up my thoughts....I'll wait till release and see how the game play is. If it is anything like WoW I will be 100% uninterested because I don't have the time or patience for grinding.
Ximvotn
I was going to mention that I was worried about being like WoW, but figured that was asking to get flamed. The developers are definitely steering away from the original Guild Wars concept or so it seems.
tghoodoo
no need to worry about GW2 being like WoW. you guys will be impressed. Just an hour and a half of gameplay starting with a new char and i was blown away. no crap grinding. Very interactive.

and like i suspected you didn't get to actually play the game... or you would know exactly where you played it at. seeing as how there isn't a site you can go to and play it. nor is there some thing you can sign to get to play... you are just purely speculating on how the game play will be.

@bytime... i am not fishing for info. its funny how both you and pleikki think that. on the contrary i am calling his bluff. if he played the game he would be able to say where and when he played it. because i know 100% that if i played gw2... then i would be able to tell you exactly the time and place i played it... and he can't... so i am calling his bluff. the point of my posts were to discredit his claims. i can't stand fake people who lie just to make themselves seem cool. it is disgusting. at 30 years old i have seen my fair share of them.
if you are gonna come on a forum and start talking about how you've already played a game that isn't out yet... then you better be ready to defend those claims and explain when and where you played it... or else... DONT MAKE FALSE CLAIMS... you just make yourself look like one of the few million 9 year old kids in GW that we have all grown to dislike, and they are the main reason why the majority of the players stopped playing with pug and only play with heroes...
also i am in no way trolling or flaming anyone. i am just not happy with the thread posters need to lie about playing a game that isn't out yet.
also like i posted a few posts up... the people who did get to play GW2 at the convention WERE NOT allowed to play for an hour and a half... it is just so sad that some people have to lie to be cool...

i said that i've played it- to not sound like a person who only has seen what is online through videos and whatnot. And i have played it. And its amazing! i don't have to "defend" myself to some -whatever- just because u can't believe that i've played it. believe it or not, there are things that happend that u have know idea about. and no i Don't have to explain anything. i'de rather respect my agreement then to look "Cool" to some internet people. ....contrary to what u were saying.
sry @cosyfiep, i had to say that. no more on the matter i promise.
================================================== =======
That said(back to the point), like most of u i really hope there is a 'high end' market with the coming release. and almost positive they will. honestly thats one of the main things that has kept many of u guys and much more still playing. its like something to do in the game when u have nothing to do type of thing for me. Those guys at Anet are pretty smart and i'm sure they realize this. they couldn't leave this old system behind... ugh i hope not!

I don't think I'll stick with GW1, but I highly doubt I'll play GW2. It looks like they took everything enjoyable about GW1 and deleted it.
Secondaries? Gone
Monks? Gone
If weapons are all "inscribable" and common like in GW1 I definitely will not be getting it. That being said I might log on GW1 periodically after GW2's release.

I think I'm going to go back to gw1 for a while just for codex arena, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it wasn't dead on a non-zaishen day after taking a year break. As for trading, I have UAX which is all I cared about, so I'm probably going to just give away everything.
As a former 8v8 prot monk, while I'll always love being the most influential member of my team, taking away monks is the best thing that could possibly happen to gw. In pve, people will have to actually work together, and in pvp the game won't devolve into spike and spike prevention being the only thing that ultimately counts. It also frees up two to three player spaces, allowing for 5v5 being possible allowing for more matches and an easier process for starting guilds.
Removal of secondaries is pretty sad, but secondaries was always about emanagement or defense anyways. The main exception being for mesmers, who frequently didn't even use their secondaries. Emanagement is no longer a focus, and everyone has defense. Furthermore, gw2 will add things of course that you will like, if you give it some time and wait for the public beta.
Edit: besides, if you like support just roll a guardian, they're essentially monks, just not as insane.

If gw2 is fun, I'll play it.
If it isn't I'm not gonna go back to gw1. But I assume gw2 is gonna be fun in some form or another. So.
