I've been looking for an MMO game to get into for quite a while now, WoW seems like the ideal choice but the subscription system even after buying the damn game really activates my almonds. Is this one the best f2p alternative or are there other options?
MMO's are bad. Guild Wars 2 isn't good for a number of reasons you can google. If you really want MMO still you have XIV or WoW. They're both bad in their own ways so flip a coin.

You still have to buy GW2, though there's no sub.
But it's also a bad game.
>>380800968
shits free, just play it and find out. MMO's are generally better if you have someone to play with though

Don't believe the WoWdrones and FFXIVshills. You won't hear anything good about GW2 here because its players are busy playing the game instead of waiting on queues for instances.

>don't believe the other guys, believe the shills, i mean real players!
GW2 is fine. If you want to play an mmo and you aren't going to sperg out about it not being GW1 then it's definitely worth a play.
Elementalists are still one of my favourite classes in any mmo and I've played shitloads of them.
I wouldn't recommend a game that is run by sjw faggots that ruin the name of the first game, and this is the LEAST of the game's problem.
>>380801780
I wouldn't recommend wasting your time with such a shit fest as this game.
>>380802032
gw2 is shit and anyone still playing it does it because of guildies or buyers remorse
>>380801780
btw its not F2P if you want to pvp, you are required to have the latest exp if you don't want to get raped.

>If you want to play an mmo and you aren't going to sperg out about it not being GW1
Wrong. Ignoring GW1, the game has too many problem, ranging from greedy dev to crappy balance.
>>380802929
You forgot the part where the F2P players can't even do endgame crap unless he gets an expansion.
FFXIV got trashed with the latest update, so yeah, don't pick that one up. There really isn't a good MMO to play at the moment. Your best bet is to just play a single player game really.
>>380802032
Nah fuck you and your broken game.
He's sitting here shtposting while waiting for his unranked q because he's not good enough to smurf or exploit the latest ranked system.
GW2 IS Bad. Who the fuck brings back an old gw1 antagonist as a plot twist and makes another plot twist where it wasn't really him but FUCKING BALTHAZAR? Who the fuck is writing this dogshit? Someone taking a dump on everything established.
And that's not even touching on the mess that was HoT or the hilarious PvP "meta".
>>380800968
if you want fast paced combat and unique quests that dont feel the same
try outelder scrolls onlinethey fixed every single problem they had at launch
its fun no matter what you do, exploring, questing, grouping for dungeons, leveling, crafting
just so you know im not shilling here
guild wars 1 is dead, only people using cpu henchman remain
vindictus is dead although people wont call it a mmo, it still has one of the best mmo combat out there imo
guild wars 2 had nice ideas but it got really boring fast since you use the same attacks from level 1 all the way to max level
black desert has fun combat for spellcasters and bows, but for melee its too floaty to feel right, also its a very grindy korean mmo where you get 10 things and bring back 10 things
ive played a lot of fucking mmos here
>>380803028
That's because it was all in the expansion.

You don't have to spoiler that. Any mmo is better than GW2 to be honest. The only reason I see peopel recommend GW 2 is either because there lots of people (which got told there lots of people playing) or it casual shit (which it isn't thank to the expansion)
>>380800968
Just play gw 1. You can hero practically the entire game. It's comfy and fun. Unless you're some graphic whore, then forget it.
>>380800968
Guild wars 2 is the superior game. GW 1 is basically a bad card game. GW is a true MMORPG where only the most skillful even make it to the endgame.
>>380804105
>Gw1 is a card game
HAHAHAHA WHAT AM I READING
>>380804105
>GW 1 is basically a bad card game
>there exists GW, GW 1 and GW 2
What.
>>380804105
>raid is pretty much shit and drop next to nothing
>Fractal require you to PAY to open up your reward chest
>dungeon is ignored
>overworld event are zerg fest
>WvW is zergfest and shitty because it about timezone players
>pvp is the worst I seen in any mmo
>literally no reason to have level 30-80 considering how
Shill harder
>>380804168
GW 1 is usually compare to Magic: the Gathering, for a good reason.
Theres no point in playing 99% of mmos, because there all just WoW clones
>>380800968
Avoid GW2 like the plague. It has nothing to do with guilds, or guild wars, no GvG, no AB, no JQ, PvP is a mishmash of 5v5 bullshit or WvWvW lagging zergfest. It's also imbalanced.
PvE boils down to using the same cookie cutter building and auto-attacking more than you would do in fucking WoW. Lack of a trinity might seem ionnovative, but its just kiting mobs into a corner and spamming skills, hoping to heal with combos because the graphics for fields and such are shit. Every class basically has to spam DPS CDs, retreate to heal, and repeat.
The story may as well not even be connected to GW1. Everything past Level 60 is fucking zombies. Also insert shoehorned SJW bullshit here.
>>380804105
>GW1 let you create zany builds and do whatever you wanted, Wanna be a W/Ele and Hamstorm and win solo GvG? Go for it. See those ashes, you can drop them. Who needs HP when you have Protective Spirit.
>GW2 locks skills behind weapons, and a small amount of weapons at that. no sense of individuality, everyone just runs the same 2 handed guardian build, nothing innovative or exciting, all cookie cutter
I GW1 is a card game, then GW2 is connect four

You are clearly playing it.
