Now what is the motivation to play GW?
fangyuan
I thank I have been to all the towns and done the quests I can get. I also went to farm something, but I only can use the green items in next farming. Can any one tell me what interesting in GW after 20 Lvl? I don't want to stop playing. Thank you.

WOW,so can I use the old role?
Former Ruling
use the old role?
Anyway:
Make different classes and test their skills out.
In PvE you can try to get the best stuff for your character (like FoW Armor)
In PvP theres ALOT of Unlocks to get. That I'm sure you only have a faction of.

If I were to comment on this I would flame you.
The reason of guild wars is to have fun.. really in my opinion quests arent to fun.
Have you done these things?
1. soloed fow
2. soloed uw
3. soloed Perdition rock
4. soloed ThK
Do you do anything else other than quests like farming ? not easy spots the hard ones, can you run to almost every town? can you play all the profession and or link them together to make a workable build.
If not well then ask yourself why you havent done it....

And if you have to ask what is left, I bet 1000 plat you missed an entire section of the PvE experience. Did you complete all of the Sorrows Furnace quests? Did you do ALL of the bonus's in the missions? Fissure and Underworld questing? Titan quests?
I have to ask because I've heard of people saying Guild Wars sucks cause they've done everything, and they hadn't even been to the Ring of Fire.

By the time I started to post, the answers where already there.
So ...what they said above me.
I've been playing since the day of the retail release & have yet to lack for something to do when I log on.
Mind you, I'm not an 8 hour a day 7 days a week player...you know what they say about too much of a good thing. (It usually causes chaffing.)
But, if you only play to “beat the game” then you are done, I guess. If you have actually reached the end of the PVE storyline...that is it, for now, anyway.

1) Beaten the FoW, all quests and monsters therein, with a good group of players?
2) Beaten the UW, all quests and monsters therein, with a good group of players?
3) Cleared Perdition Rock, or at least know you can with a good group.
4) Consistently beaten THK, thanks to your knowledge of the area and skills as a player. With this, you can help out people who are new to the area.
5) Made friends along the way.
Learn to work as a team, make friends, and help strangers.

I'm still enjoying the game but, when I tire of it, I don't think I'll spend a lot of time trying to find some way to renew my interest. I'll just move on.
When my stepdaughter started college I told her that it's a part of life, not a career, smile. It's the same thing with a game. Games were meant to be played and eventually discarded. All of us move at our own rates - for instance I'm still having a lot of fun after 7 months - but the game clock will run out for all of us eventually.

I agree with everythign said, i just want to comment of other stuff
Guild Wars as the name emphisizes about guilds. its always fun to have a great guild, and for some, to have a lead a guild. If you are looking for a challage, you can always start a guild. Or join a nice guild, help people out, play PvP or hard PvE Areas.
Also, you can jsut go around looking for rares. Greens, Perfect mods, or just waste you gold on looking cool. With dye. It all depends on what is fun for you. Im trying to get in to PvP now, but its slow, lol. I think i should join a more active/pvP guild. But anyways...
its always fun to just make new PvE charectures, to get to play differnt styles. Find out new builds for PvE/PvP.
There is nothing that is dumb or stupid. my sister likes to just dance and do commands with players, and look at how weird they look. Just messing around(she just used my char and does random stufff...) but anyways. Just have fun.
But PvP is always a way to go

there are some that just like to grind and farm to the end of time. that's all they do. and almost all exclusively solo... I have two people that were in our guild that were this way. being so pissed that their precious farming areas got nerfed they left never to return.. Even after trying to coax them back with free factions I had offered them... (I am buying several for my gaming clan, some as gifts some as prizes, some as Clan accounts for demo purposes...)
In any case... There are some people that just will never be happy with what is known as an equal footing... They want unfair advantages to exploit. and the way to those unfair advantages is to grind a character till your level god knows what. last count this particular guy is lev 80 in WoW. And all he does is humiliate level lower then him in PvP and While questing... He is also very well known to steal (Loot) battlefields instead of playing the game fairly... waiting for a boss to kill several till he kills the boss and then loots the dead bodies... This is the lifestyle of a typical WoW player...
But this is what they want. if this is what you want, then GW is not the game for you and doubtful ever will be. You will always be equally matched with the last version of the game on the market. and that's the way Arenanet has planned it from the beginning. Even with NCSoft Pressuring them to charge subscriptions and fall in line with the common MMO, ArenaNet has stood their ground on these points. I don't expect them to falter while they are still making money on the scale they have been for NCSoft...

To me personally now that I have finished the quests, missions and whatnot, GW is just basically an expensive, virtual chatroom. However I am constantly trying out different builds, so it never really gets boring for me.

Secondly, the game is far more fun when playing with friends. Thats sort of the whole point of it being cooperatively multiplayer. What do you prefer? Soloing the whole game? Yelling at teammates till they do things your way? Keeping the game as impersonal as possible by only speaking in abriviations and when absolutely necessary? No thank you.
As for mocking someone for helping strangers? That's, well, just being an ass...

Ive been bored with GW for about 3 months. Even after the factions event, Im not looking forward to the new game. Nothing exciting there either. As one person posted, Im bored, so I should move on I guess. To the OP, if you havent made 4 characters yet, then you have no reason to complain. If you are like some of us, who have deleted lvl 20's dozens of times, then you could ask, whats the point in playing....
boxterduke
Have not read the thread at all but there are tons of stuff to do in the game.
All bonuses.
Have you gotten perfect mods.
Have played with different builds.
Changed professions to try different builds.
Capped all skills for your characters.
PvP
Unlocked all skills and mods.
etc etc.
I've been playing since a couple of days after launch and still playing.

heck GW isn't just about the quest and everything it's about the socializing...Or getting allies before factions comes out. Or maybe helping your fellow guildies.
Or yes you can grind that last cent out of the trolls/griffins/sand elementals and minos if ya want...
Personally I'm working towards FOW. I really wanna clear out that forest and that foggy area with the Wurms in it. Do that then tell me your still bored, it's crazy down there.

I am very new to GW. My first character is just lvl 19. I am loving this game till now. But being a former WoW player I have to say some of the things said here are just ridiculous.
This part I agree with... there are grinders in EVERY game I have ever played. Some people dont even bother with quests, they go straight to grinding.
Now this is the ridiculous part. Lvl 80 in WoW? The cap is lvl 60, its gonna be lvl 70 in the expansion so pray tell how anyone could get to lvl 80?
I understand you dont like WoW. Why do you have to go and generalize everybody who plays WoW?
So all we did is wait for our teammates to die and then killed the boss ourselves eh? Have you even played WoW before? The bosses at end game dungeons there take 20 or 40 people to kill them. It takes a hell of a lot of teamwork to kill them. You have no chance in hell of killing the boss yourselved if your teammates die.
Both GW and WoW are awesome games. There are positives and negatives for both. People like me just get tired of playing the same game over and over. Hence we try alternatives. There is nothing inherently evil about other games. If you really are tired of GW... give any other game a try. Either you will be hooked on or you will miss GW terribly and come back

If being nice to people, making friends, and helping strangers is a bad thing and means I 'came from pixieland' then so be it. It's a worthwhile activity. Once a week I give something of mine away, and not only to friends or guildies.
The only way to make the thread "Biggest Jerk You've Ever Met In-Game" go away is to be nice. While the thread is amusing, jerks really ruin a gaming experience for a lot of people.

Someone mentioned farming before. Farming can be a good idea but if done too much it can also really screw you over. The game isn't as fun when you farm a lot. My suggestion would be to get in a PvP guild and try to unlock all the skills.

Making friends and helping strangers is not just an idea for gaming in a fantasy world but a good strategy in real life too.
