[I've Become more Unga Bunga with Age]

Hi Folks.  Recently returned to the game after a several years hiatus.  I have several characters on my account at various progression, but decided to research a bit on just starting another character over from scratch.  I'm coming to a weird realization that the older I get, I think that I'm becoming much more Unga Bunga Caveman.  

 

I have fond early-GW2 2012 memories of playing high-intensity Mesmer build for WvW maximizing APM, being a sweaty nail-biter.  The last few days I'm reviewing builds of different classes seeing an insane amount of rotations, and all I can think of is how much of a chore it would be.  Like a choreographed dance you repeat over and over for thousands of hours.  The more and more I research, the more I just want to start a Warrior or Revenant class and just whack things like a caveman.  I turned 40 late last year and wonder if it is a product of my age, or if I just care a lot less about being "optimal".  

 

Anyone else feel the same way?  

 

I'd say it's more about your priorities changing as an older gamer. I'm 33 and feel this way as well. While gaming is still important to me and a big part of what makes me who I am, I no longer care about being a super sweaty and topping any leaderboards. I'm just trying to enjoy my time with the game and unwind after a long day of adulting. I also no longer have any friends that play MMOs because they have families of their own now and they just don't have the time, so I don't even have anyone to really compete with anymore.

Hey there, I'm interested in joining! I've played GW2 on and off since release but I've only recently tried to take it more seriously, but I've been having trouble truly finding my footing so I can dive into more end game content since I've hit a wall. I'd really love to get into PvP, WvW (Roaming), and Fractals but I play solo and have little to no guidance outside of YouTube guides that can get confusing, and the anxiety of being completely new to PvP and possibly underperforming has been pretty crippling for me. Would love to make some cool, social, laidback friends that wouldn't mind taking me under their wing to help me become a better player as well as do some group content to help me level alts and gear up.
