This guy said it better.

I get it. Anyone who criticizes GW2 is just a negative person. And by posting their grievances about the game on the Forums and "frustrating" people to the point of lashing out (what??), it justifies their negative perception of the game.

To me it just sounds like an excuse to hand wave any criticism of the game away.

you get what you project out in the world back dont  you?

I don't know what you're getting at.

I criticized something about GW2, a video game. What exactly did I project out into the world? And where does the need for you all to try to turn the argument into personal attacks against me come from?

The truth is; you all don't like being told you are being toxic because it's the Truth. The truth hurts..

This is a daily occurrence on this forum yet you all claim that GW2 has the friendliest community out of any MMO, like somehow it exonerates your toxic behavior. A lot of people are tired of it and it's why this forum is becoming more of an echo chamber every day. Because you all continuously bully anyone who thinks differently into leaving.

The community isn't toxic because they don't agree with you. People just have differing opinions. 

So when I have a different opinion and I'm berated and attacked for it, it's fair game. But when I return it in kind, I'm at fault?

It's the same thing anytime anyone criticizes GW2. The community here cannot handle criticism of this game well. Always on the defence/attack mode.

All I have seen so far is OP attacking and berating people for offering their own experiences and opinions, telling them why they're wrong. If that's how they behave in-game, I'm not surprised they have a very different experience of the player base than others.

All I did was post that I think housing is coming way too late in the game, and that the game lacks some basic social features that would make new friendships easier. It's everyone else who's calling my posts stupid and trying to bury me in rabbit holes using fallacies that are being toxic.

But I guess you think I'm the toxic one because they can't change my mind?

GW2 is the least toxic MMORPG behind LOTR.

Where do you get these statistics from? Is there a graph somewhere that I'm missing?

Not that it matters. What matters has been my own experience on GW2 with the community.

6 minutes ago, Bladestrom.6425 said:

hold on, you said this 'GW2 is the last MMO I'll ever play and it's not because of anything Anet did.'  why are you complaining about housing being too late again?

It's too late because my friends left this game a long time ago, and now I'm complaining it's too difficult to make new friends in GW2 because the community is toxic. Because that's been my experience on this game for years. Any sort of statistics you can pull out of thin air comparing GW2 to other MMO's doesn't change what I've experienced..

This simply isn't true. Of course it has its share of toxic players, but GW2's community is famously more helpful and less toxic than other MMOs. Hell, you can't be a new player without getting adopted by veterans.

It becomes true the moment that new player criticizes any aspect of the game. Then it becomes a beatdown.

This criticism is stupid, so make new friends ingame that you can invite over. 

Can't. The GW2 community is too toxic.

I dunno how anyone could think that having to spend 5+ minutes price checking whatever you buy like in WoW, or having to use some external trading website like in Path of Exile (all while constantly getting spammed by gold sellers) would be an improvement. This thread is pretty much the epitome of "I will complain about literally anything" though, so... 🤷‍♂️

Yes, because we don't already have to check an external wiki for basically everything on GW2 already...

Your post is pretty much the epitome of "I will defend the game against literally any criticism, because I'm a fanboy and ArenaNET can do no wrong"

Yes please put in player to player trading so scamers can run rampant.

They had it in gw1 and yes you had to accept the trade after seeing what was in the other persons trade window and still people got scamed.

Oh yes, classic argument right here.

Let's take whole social features out of the game because of a few scammers.

This obsession with player safety is why we get boring themepark MMO's these days with no risks.

I have noticed that as I get older I don't make new friends.  I realize that is a problem.  Friends just feel more like a burden, an obligation.

I am not surprised that OP hasn't made new friends in game, however that is the problem.  Anet's timing isn't the cause of the frustration,  it is the lack of friends to share with.

It doesn't help that there's no player to player trading in the game. That is a MMO social interaction that is completely missing from GW2.

But they might add in it a future expansion pack. As well as open world dueling. Then we can say it's only 15 years too late 🙂

From your negative perspective, pretty much every new addition is 12 years late, to be honest. 😄

That is correct, actually. GW2 should have arrived at this point like 7 years ago, max.

How long has ESO had housing for?

then what are you saying? because thats what it sounds like. "whats the point, if i have no one to play with"

It's nice that we're finally getting housing. I'm just saying, for me personally, I've been waiting so long for it that I now realized it's not even as relevant as it used to be.

ArenaNet have been way too slow to bring about requested features. Better late than never. But it's still late and a lot of people who wanted housing have already left the game years ago. It's doubtful this will bring them back.

[10 Years too late adding housing]

Just now, Parasite.5389 said:

so because You have no friends, we should just scrap the idea?

That's not what I said.

[10 Years too late adding housing]

All of my friends who played GW2 with me since launch have already long quit the game. Housing is something we all wanted at that time. Now what's even the point? I have no friends I can invite over.

Hate to break it to you, but every gaming community, Not just mmos, have their own flavor of toxicity. Gw2 isn't special.

 

2. The community wouldn't be so toxic if the devs stop being out of touch with majority of the changes. You can talk to a brick wall so much until you can't take it anymore.

 

Hell, the fact Anet doesn't have a pts (Public test servers.) In this day and age just shows how out of touch they really are, and even then I doubt Anet would do anything with the feedback outside of using a shredder.

You are making stuff up. The toxicity of the GW2 community has nothing to do with the way Anet balances the game. The community has become so toxic and elitist over the last couple of years they've effectively destroyed GW2's reputation as being one of the friendlier MMO's. So you're right, Gw2 isn't special anymore because the players ruined it.

For 12 years, Anet continues to Betray and Annihilate The Community Trust by refusing to turn the game into a Healthy Competitive Gaming Experience for the players and allowing Toxic Professions to continue to create a Hostile Toxic Destructive Gaming Culture

The only toxic & hostile thing about this game is it's community. Just look at how you all behave each time a balance patch comes out and how you treat each other on these forums and in-game every day. GW2 is the last MMO I'll ever play and it's not because of anything Anet did.

The only thing that is betraying and annihilating the community is yourselves.

[Druid needs nerf]

I thought offensive Druid is what everyone wanted?

My support healing build in PvP got nerfed a straight 30% on healing and lost most of it's active condi cleanse in favor of more celestial avatar spam. Nobody played Druid in ranked except for me and now everyone is running it. Maybe it's time to reverse the changes and give me my build back?

 

[I'm a fan of the dragon helmet.]

It makes the furries happy, I'm sure.

[Expanded Weapon Proficiencies: Dual-Wielding Mace Ranger]

I just want to add my 2cents being a Druid in PvP since HoT dropped, and been with the spec through every patch.

Warhorn is essential because of the Windborne Notes trait. I usually ran this with a mainhand sword for it's mobility, but realized with how squishy support Druid can be it's better to keep my distance from opponents where I can support my allies instead, so I've recently switched to mainhand axe.

I'm not sure I'm keen on getting back into the Melee action with mainhand Mace, but I haven't seen how the skills on mace work. Can it provide boons and healing to allies without needing to hit a target? If I can support my allies without fusing around trying to hit enemies that teleport, invisible spam, CC AOE spam, kite me into DH traps, etc, I will likely run Mace + Warworn or at least give it my best shot.
