What's wrong with it?

I enjoy it. The ability to just take a break from the game and come back and pick up where I left off is great. I got burned out farming the skyscale, so took a break and when I came back I could explore bjora marches and do the drakkar event for the last resources I needed, so now I'm playing again, doing the raven puzzles and a bit of wvw, as well as leveling my skyscale masteries.

Pretty complicated and deep pvp system with a high skill ceiling but the only pvp modes available are 5v5s and world pvp with 3 factions and I don't like either mode. I think they had 3v3s but that wasn't a permanent mode or something.

It's just collectaphon with nice visuals. But it as nice to comeback and chill once a year.

i hate the pvp. i'm pretty experienced in WoW pvp so maybe that's why i hate it. it feels floaty, and skills will queue up if you mash your skills.

They fucked up the God tier skill system GW1 handed to them on a silver platter.

I played 400 hours and it got boring.

Fell for the "holy trinity is bad" meme. You need some way to force cohesion between players, or else everyone will just run to the strongest class. When I quit, it was 4 warriors + an elementalist for PvE, or just all rogues for PvP.

>still has the best combat of any MMORPG
>still has the best leveling experience

primary thing is, its boring
it tried too hard to be different and kind of just floundered in every department, like skills being tied to weapons is rubbish, and you can tell pvp was primarily made with muh esports in mind

that, and the writing has gotten extremely shite, and a massive focus on gem store updates.

I think these days GW2 is the best MMO on the market after the expansions and patches, it doesn't shit itself like other games which is a change of pace.

I'm currently playing it with friends and it's nice how much you can do with other players and how easy it is to make an alt

Wow pvp is shit though, especially classic pvp is pure garbage.

The combat is absolute trash but the leveling is probably the best in any mmo

Skills locked to weapons get a bit stale after a while.
Too much stuff locked behind daily.
Too much focus on boons which are annoying super short buffs.

It's still a great game, though, but it has potential to be much more.

Typical themepark MMO trash without depth.

Seriously, what makes themepark MMOs good in the first place is having vast expansive dungeons to explore with bros, not these mindless quest grinds that force a shitty story down your throat and just end up being a scuffed single player game with other players running around.

>Max out
>If youre PvM you have to do autistically hard DLCs where the difficulty spikes harder than a needle just to earn what is basically CoD tier prestige points
>Or have to do the dogshit PvP if you don't like that where your dumblefuck teammates will rage AFK in spawn after getting dabbed on one time.
The only fun endgame is WvW, but even mindless zerging gets boring after a while.

No healers

All they had to do was take GW1 and improve on it, instead they changed a bunch of shit for worse. If it wasn't for the name Guild Wars you wouldn't even know that it is a sequel.

It's not Guild Wars.
That's literally it.

i prefer it to any of the pvp in gw2. gw2 there's no need to peel for your healers because everyone can heal themselves. because there's no specific healers, there's no need to cc specific enemies. WvW in gw2 is fucking terrible comapred to large scale WoW BG's.

heart of thorns was the only fun pve content you stupid shitter, people like you are why the game sucks now

>best combat
janky skill queue, combo fields and aoe circles are some of the things that make it pretty awful.
>best leveling
unironically RO

Mount system is unparalled
