>ruined one of the varied skill systems to a pick weapon and have it be 5/10 skill automatically picked

>elite skills have gone from being the definitive skill and something you build around in GW1 to just another CD with most of them being incredibly underwhelming

>ignored WvW and PvP players for a long while until they realised they need to do something

>gate specialisations behind said expansion and make them incredibly broken
>balancing is fucking garbage most of the time and the bunker meta was literally one of those things I saw and just realised this game should never be taken seriously by anyone

There's probably a lot more, but I can't be bothered.

Nothing, it's one of the most competent MMOs right now and it's dirt cheap compared to subscription based ones.

Sorry, but 8 maps and counting. Also they gave a character slot with it if you were an old player. And if you were a new player they gave you for free the base game when you bought the 30 usd expansion. Which was the price on g2a at release.

>most of the skills in the game are awful and boring
I dont know a single game with more unique skills such as the mesmer illusions, rewinding time, all the shit the necros and engineers do. Frankly unlike most mmos is not just dps with different colors of beams.

The rest of your complains are outdated. And some simply retarded lilke

I have all wings on farm since forever btw and that hard mode deimos or whatever it was. It's boring as fuck and not rewarding when you already have enough LI for 3 legendary armors that look like shit.

This game is a fucking joke.

they are now introducing Sci fi armor via microtransaction along with more wings. gw2 doesn't even have an identity anymore

5 more flavour of the month maps that get abandoned as soon as the next one gets abandoned and has a shitty mastery gimmick. And it only took em 2 years. What an incredible feat.

They didnt even want to give out a slot before people started complaining about it and even then it was ONLY FOR PREORDERS. Really desperate and scummy move from the Korean overlords but youre welcome to defend them anyway. Its not like theyre double dipping you on any armor skins or any other items in the gem shop at all. And all the while barely releasing any other armor skins and what not.

And my complaints are not outdated, they are absolutely fine because the team in charge is still the same besides Colin and they will continue to shovel the same shit, except now theyve gotten a bit wise and realised they cant have a healhy player base if they intend to make people pay full price for their 3 maps the expansion pack and hope that NCSoft doesnt fire them all.

>>381470875
They literally had a template on how to do skills and fucked it up to the point where its awful. They cant be bothered to balance skills and what not so they reduced the number, only even with reducing the number they still have a fuckload of balancing issues. Not to mention the lead game designer right now is Izzy, which you would know about enough if only you had played GW1.

And here comes the underage that hasn't played GW1.

GW2 is mostly CPU.

>>381468707
Worst MMO I ever played by miles even less enjoyable than SWTOR...

>>381468707
I don't expect "great" stories in MMOs, but GW2 really let me down so far. The earlier personal stories were pretty decent. Went with Order of Whispers and got Tybalt, who was fun to have around. Then he dies, absolutely no impact whatsoever. Then this saladman acts like we're best friends or something.

It doesn't help that the personal stories only happen every 10 levels (correct me if I'm wrong), and basically the leveling experience is quite bland thanks to hearts. It all feels aimless to me, and I just lose motivation to keep going. Currently 65 and bored.

>>381474656
The story doesn't get any better. Super Salad will continue to steal the spotlight for the rest of your 'personal' story.

Yeah, story steps used to unlock one after another with each being a level or two higher than the previous one, don't know why they changed that.
Anyway, the leveling is kinda aimless, your goal is to reach max level and you can do pretty much anything you want in any order, no need to go for the areas your level to get exp, you can clear low level ones you'd prefer to explore and you get the same amount of experience, same with dungeons, same with everything, anything that is your level or lower scales reward wise.
