I havent really engaged the game in a while now. each new story patch I play for 10-15 hours a day for about three days. then its back to (log-on) > (Do miserable WvW dailies that I hate because the reward tracks have items basically required for some content if i ever feel motivated to try it) > (Farm guild nodes) > (Farm home nodes) > (Close game and play something I enjoy) Ascended cooking really brought home for me that im never going to get anything enjoyable until the next story arc though. And, representation aside, there isnt anything in this game story i dont get better elsewhere lately.
