I have stopped playing, other then daily logins and making sure I am on for the new chapters that get added so that I don't have to pay for them if I do decide I want to play again. As for the video, I think that including your player bases comments in the video is a fun and rewarding aspect to the Video! Because we aren't sponsored or biased like many media sites out there such as MMORPG or PC Gamer etc etc. So that's cool. There is no doubt that this game's graphics are amazing. They always have been and I doubt that is changing. And the mounts were a great addition. I do love the hidden things in the game that make you want to explore the areas a bit more. There are a lot of pro's to this game and maybe those will work for new players and old players coming back... but it will only work for a short period before people get frustrated with how things work. [offtopicish here I apologize but these are issues I think will put some people off from the game in the long run]Now let me start a bit with some of my background in MMO's, Ive played Star Wars Galaxies, WoW, Rift, Aion, Blade and Soul, Final Fantasy 11 and 14 and I have played GW2 since I got my Beta invite. I played Guild Wars 1 from the day it came out well past GW2's release (hello Birthday cupcakes!). I love the franchise and story. I'm a crafter and I tend to play healing and Tanking rolls in just about every single MMO I have ever played. For me the video really didn't say anything more then, "hey we have beautiful graphics and mounts and there is some fun things around the world you can find." It prolly wouldn't pull me back in but it would possibly make me do a bit more research into what it is they're talking about. I think its lacking in a lot of key areas that people right now are looking for in an MMO. I used to be all about the "no trinity." approach, but have since gone away from that thought and really miss classes like monk that focused on boons and healing. The Devs tend to over balance as well. They would rather make a drastic nerf vs small adjustments. I believe that GW 2 would benefit from a test relm. Healing in this game while O.K. is still a pain in the kitten if you know what I mean. Its not fun. Crafting is dull and grindy. I dont want to spend a week or 2 getting the things needed to make commanders armor to even be considered for PUG Fractals. The Market is horrible and because of how grindy the game is people know that people dont want buy those spendy mats (hello Fresh Water Pearls!) . Not a fan of the Black Lion Company, the issues are currently what many people are having issues with. RNG Loot Boxes and the mounts in this game are crazy. And until those things are looked into a bit more I wont be spending a dime on black lion goods. Not sandboxy at all and personally thats a real turn off for me right now. If I am going to spend my time off investing in my character I want to make sure its invested in something other then crafting... Dungeons and Raids are meh. Nobody runs the old stuff anymore everyone is doing fractals and they feel rushed and not well thought out. Mechanics are bleh and without the trinity it seems tedious. Again just my opinion. All in all those are my big issues. That video really didnt tell me much. The message gets lost. But visually the game is the best out there imho. And do feel people should play the game I would just warn people its going to get real old after a few months.
