GW 2003 vs 2005
Garric
Have a look, I'm so fricking angry with you guys. ALL OF YOU. Word's can't begin to describe it.
Ancalagon06
? why are you so angry?

The first time I saw that first picture (about a month before E34E), I had nothing to go on concerning Guild Wars' quality, but I still wanted to play Guild Wars instead of Knight Online. That is how seriously bad Knight was/is.
(Luckily for me, though, Guild Wars turned out to be a good game.)

Jwh6913

seriously?
edit: calling the difference between GW 2003 and GW 2005 a "improvement" is like calling jessica simpson "slightly easy"
AKA a huge understatement

Like every MMO on the market, ever. You expected this one to be different in terms of social interaction... why?
Jwh6913
heh I'm an understated person 
I try not to embellish cuz you can get in a heck a lot of trouble with exaggaration

That thing about a picture being worth a thousand words should be rewritten to this. A picture witha an explanation or caption is worth a thousand words.

ROFL that made me lol.
Seriously, was that GW back in 2003? I thought it was a lot better when I played Ascalon in E3. Wait that's 2004 @_@ god damn...

There's already a club for that, would you like membership?
Madjik
whats your problem?
Sekkira
I'm not sure. Do I need one?
DrSLUGFly
just like everyone else... I'll just post nonsense to keep the thread bumped until Garric comes back to explain what the hell he's on about. 
I mean, he went so far as to post pics to support his point... now we just have to wait for the point.

What the hell are ya'll arguing about?
Gah this is more frustrating than the PuG I had a few minutes ago.

It is irony. First you look at GW 2003 and see how crappy it was. Crappy colors, textures, models, etc. You realize that GW2005 looks almost ten times better. You click on the 2nd picture to compare. What do you see? A bunch of items, like one would use as an auction. You were expecting a picture that showed some graphics off, didn't you? But you see a bunch of loot, what this game is all about, what you have made the game into.
Sekkira
I now understand completely and feel his anger as well.
Sekkira
It wasn't about Graphics either though. So that's pretty invalid.

It's really not worth getting upset over IMO.

Aaaaagh
GW is what you make it. If you want a friendly community to stand around and chat with, make a guild.
Obviously the masses dont want that, since thats what we have been driven into.

Maybe what he's getting at is that in 2003, GW had a nice community going despite the ugly graphics, which is represented by the happy-looking environment and cheerful characters who seem to be going about their daily business with not a care in the world.
Whereas now, it's more focused around suffering and anguish. The exp scroll represents the suffering required to grind through the exp needed for skill point acquisition, while the scorched lodestones represent the burden of having to go through the scorchingly back-breaking labor required to get all the items needed (like for example the 242 wood planks).
The rest of those items represent the frustrating occurence of finding non-perfect modifiers and having to farm even more in order to find the best mods.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into it
It's pretty late and I probably had a little too much to drink.

E3 2003 people played a new game. A game they played for fun, since it was a 2 day event. They were interested in it and played it just for fun.. not for profit, farming, PVP hoarding, making fun of noobs, racism, L33T talk, scamming, bots, etc.
I can't believe.. something like this.. WAS RUINED!
Madjik
Nothing is perfect, nor will it ever be, for it is in the nature of humans to destroy. I'm sorry you feel this game is ruined for you.
And i'll leave it at that.
And i'll leave it at that.

Sad but true.. GW 2003/4 > GW 2005 in my opinion.

Trading is an integral part of every online massive multiplayer game (which this is, regardless of the label and definitions). You can't abolish it and it would be wrong to abolish it since trading is the draw and the actual game for many many people. There are loads that would rather trade than do missions and quests... nothing wrong with that, it's simply their style.

No true in GW once you ascend I must add. I have seen the samething happen to nearly every single RP mod for NWN, the only time it doesn't is if you have a small group and a closed private server.

This game is about loot?
