Guild Wars Nightfall

"Envelope pls....."

Having quested for 20 months and my top character at 5 million xp, 3 copies of all 3 versions (Prophecies, Factions. NightFall), I would have to ask you to re-examine how you spend your gaming dollar and time.

Given that it is the same old, same old format and tasks/actions/quests/etc for all 3 versions, and that you reach top level items, armor, weapons, skill points and character level about half way through the very 1st game (Prophecies), when you add the fact that areananet/ncsoft is constantly nerfing/gelding/ruining the game to satisfy their own twisted desires to prevent free market activities and fun, this is really a complete waste of time.

Getting most titles takes a ridiculous and unreal amount of time just to acquire enough gold not to mention the actual questing for chests, or time do drink for the drunk title,or obtaining gold items for the 'wisdom' title, etc, etc, etc.

There are bigger and better games to play and unless you have some sort of addiction problem or enjoy precluding all else imagining that this is funny, you should be able to see this. My children, friends and guild members have all stopped playing due to the poor support from areananet/ncsoft, arrogant attitudes of no-life fan sites like guru, and tediously mundane repetitive game play.

Basically there is no development in the franchise and personal development and benefits from playing this game bottom out really quickly uinless you are a very casual gamer.

When it first arrived on the scene it was novel and good fun but the grfx, audio game play have not kept pace. Contrarily ncsoft/areanet has made it ever harder and harder to find items and so totally diminished the good fun prescribing to a narrower and narrower set of ideologies.

Maybe the 1V0013s think this is great or perhaps it is the obssessive compulsive crowd but that would figure about right for the number of people that are playing world wide.

... it's not GW that will be taking home any prizes!! unless it is from the paid fansites. promoters and seemingly innocent forum/community bystanders that give them out. But then thats the latest IT profession - webhoes (tools to cultivate impressionable minds).
