they need to add rare items to this game..
Girn
all of the weapons seem to suck in this game.. theres gotta be some really hard quests to do that if u accomplish u get rewarded very nicely in a weapon or armor that most other ppl wouldnt have..
Volume II
The game isn't based on items. They aren't going to add any rare items in. And this should have been in the sanitarium section anyway.
Edit: I should rephrase that. They aren't gong to add in any ub3r rare items. They do have rare items, but the bonuses are minor compared to what you'll find from rare items in other games.

The game does have rare items you just haven't founf them because they are like rare LOL 
If you find a item that is Blue or better purple ID it some of them are real good.

u have to admit tho.. this games not as fun as WoW.. theres way way wayyyyy more stuff to do in wow and way more things to craft and whatnot.. but i wont complain cuz this games free online play... u know what they say.. u get what u pay for

I actually disagree.. Wow is a good game, bit buggy but still good.
I like this game more because it focuses on gameplay, and strategy.
Its way more fun questing in this game. However, instances in WoW are hard to beat.

Well, thats just your bag. I personally like this game better because players are awarded for skill, not months played consecutively

and what are players "rewarded" with exactly? a rank ?

Side note on the matter of ranking: Yeah, they get a rank. Guilds with ranks can very possibly earn things OF ACTUAL MONETARY VALUE. >.>

If you're having so much fun playing WoW, why are you here wasting time bashing another game? At least we have reason to be on the boards here since we love the game. Go back to WoW and bring your horrid spelling and typing skills with "U"

What players are rewarded with depends on which PvP type you're playing, or if it's PvE. Victory rewards can be things like: experience, items, improved ladder ranking, account rank.
As for the rares, yesterday I found two purple items, and they felt pretty rare to me, much rarer than the blue ones.
We've also won a yellow item in the Hall of Heroes, and that was even rarer (and really good too).

GW is free to play AND it is the most fun I've had playing a MMORPG yet. Also this game has better and a whole lot more PvE than WoW. PvP is better here too.

the thing is there are rare/uniq items already. (purple and yellow colored items. u just havent seen them yet ) and when u refer to them as "suck", i think u mean their "balanced" cuz this is actually the 1st game ive seen that's well balanced w/ weps/armor vs. monster/enemies. most rpg-types
go right out w/ better item = faster ownage of enemies, which really makes the game repetitive quickly, or u dont have to work hard for them, w/ GW its actually gets u to take time and customize your build's gear's advantages/disadvantages.
ive seen pics of them(purple/yellow) and their stats just really wanna make u play more / get farther in the game, just to get them yourself.
also. WoW has been on for pretty long now w/ added updates. since GW is still @ its 1st week of release, i dont think youve seen everything the game has to offer.
plus. the ingame content is already pretty big, by the time most ppl experience half of the full release stuff (unless u play 24/7
-lucky b'stardz), they will have released "chapters/expansions", which will offer even more content/items/storyline/etc. that i cant wait to see.these are just my opinions of what ive seen so far for the game.
again. im only suggesting relax, chill in the game, u might find something good in the way while playing it more.
and plz let's deter from bashing WoW while comparing to GW, WoW is still a good/fun looking game and from what ive read, i woulda tried it if i just didnt think the monthly fee is a bit steep for me. their both good games.

The great thing about Guild Wars is that with no monthly charge I can also play another MMO if I want and not feel like im wasting my money.

omg
i cant belive i read this
the guy plays the game for 2 days....its not 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years...its 2 DAYSSSSSSSSSSSSS
and he is complaning about RARE???????
does he know the meaning for the word RARE???
i think it should take like months to find a rare

Don't worry, you can tell by other posts he wants a grind based game where superiority comes from the uber-junk you find. If we ignore them they might go home

There are. You are just impatient.

Alright strategy fun. But come on people, you want something special to sperate someone who's played for 6 months rather than 6 days. I love strategic gameplay as much as the next guy, but I also like having a cool weapon, it dosen't need Uber-over-the-top-stats. But something rare, is always a good feeling, so yeh I agree, a few more really rare items won't hurt anyone.

I am just happy that when I find precious items I dont' have gollum following me around. That would be pretty creepy. Why would a game drop rare items a lot? If everyone got a rare item then it wouldn't be rare then, would it? I wonder if there is a faq on the levels of items. So far I've run across strictly blue items of the following states: precious, extra damage/energy, high return on scrapping, and gray quest items for quests I don't have 
. I can't figure that last one out...

Someone really needs to sticky a thread with that quote as the post.

I have said this a dozen times.
Games are different - different strokes for different folks.
Any sort of fanboyism posts [oooh WoW is so much better/the suck] will be removed.

If uber loot and having something others do not is what you are looking for than perhaps this is not the game for you. If you need to feel better than someone based on the amount of time you have invested then (hopefully) this is not the game for you. If you want a level playing field for a RPG PvP game, then this is the game for you.

Man this thread is just spawning hate. I found my first purple weapon yesterday and it was awesome (there are yellows to? sweet). I cant use the bow but its deffinatly a cut above the ordinary. Because the weapons are so ballanced a hammer that does 40 damage is amazing it doesn't sound all that but in-game it kicks. Unfortunatly you will have to do some farming(for weapons and runes) if you want to be the best in PvP, or if you want to make a very specific character. Its grind but it's not bad, and you can have a lot of fun doing it,especially with a cool group!!
Now finding an awesome item will be worth so much more because it's rare and it took skill(well played character and team) to get.

No hate, just a statement. This is a different game and people who just picked it up might be sorely disapointed. Quotes that want people to be differentiated by their hard won gear aren't really applicable for this game. It is true that if your goal is to differentiate yourself from everyone else, then this game is not for you. GW doesn't offer a lot of visual cues for character cistomization at this point. Nor does it seem to have gear that can only be held by the hardcore devoted players.
I'd love it for everyone to stay and enjoy it, more people to PvP with. However, the realist in me knows that it's not for everyone. Too many people equate time = skill since that's the yardstick in so many other games.
I posted to point out the overall goal of the game and to voice support for it. I am hoping that this is not just another MMO and it seems they have kept pretty true to that. No hate here

Surely not, guild wars taking ideas from less strategic RPGs!!! Blasphemy! For goodness sake, there's nothing bloody wrong with a nice cool weapon which you can show off with, as I said earlier, this skill stuff is a refreshign change, but we don't need to drop every fundamental MMOG idea, rarewm weapons are there for a reason, to make you stand out and maybe a bit more powerful, a trophy for past conquests. All this skill stuff is driving me up the wall, it's great that it's their, but I can almost gurantee 50% of the members here play this game, because it's a great MMOG with no subscription, not because you have to use strategy to play. So why not feed the people what they want, more rare stuff.

The game is based on player skill more than who has been lucky enough to find uber items. If you want a game where you need items to play go to WOW, if you want a game where 3rd party programs help you play go to AC.
Grim_Grom
I agree, uber items suck, but having a cool appearance or whatever, surely that is not too much to ask [in fact this is already there, but a few rare weapon variations would be nice]. Isn't that an intergral part of an RPG, the items?
Shadowyn
Well, I have a lvl 60 hunter in WoW and I will continue to play that game, as well as this one. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. As far as PvP, I'd say WoW is more freeflowing and unpredictable, plus the 1v1 battles can be a lot of fun. On the other hand, GW PvP on the other hand is much more strategic, and doesn't leave you at the mercy of ridiculous imbalances like in WoW. To put it another way, to win in PvP in GW you need to utilize strategy both before and during the battle and work as a team. To win in WoW, just make sure you have a shaman or a shadow priest on your team and you'll usually win.
Illiniskippy
I dont know if I would say that WoW combat is more unpredictable. In my experience it was normally one side crushing the other because of either a preponderance of numbers or levels. Most of the fights were a lvl 50 on a 30 or 5 level 60s on 1. Both of those very predictable. At least in Guildwars I go into a battle thinking Ive got a shot to win.
Shadowyn
PvP encounters in WoW are unpredictable-it's not even worth arguing. In GW you won't ever be strolling down a road and suddenly be ambushed by a player hiding behind a tree.
Illiniskippy
When and where the encounters happen is often unpredictable, but often the outcome is very predictable.

Rares do exist...if they were too common they wouldn't be rare!

Here, I created a simple equation that will make this problem most elemtary:
Uber rare items = less difficulty
less difficulty = less fun
less fun = less people playing, which in turn creates a smaller comunity, with smaller guilds and less PvP. Is that what you want?
