Whats Preventing You From Quitting The Game

[Rendalmj.3152]

Last time i made a thread '' Whats Preventing You From Coming Back To The Game '' . Now this is for those who still play the game. Why do you still play the game after so many years and whats preventing you from quitting?

[kharmin.7683]

I am a very casual player with limited time due to family and work obligations. GW2 is not subscription based, so I am not losing money during the times when I am unable to login and play. This is the primary reason for me. Additionally, I have a few friends (and my spouse) in the same situation so we coordinate a game night from time to time where we can not only play but socialize.

Not having PvP in PvE areas is also a big attraction for me. I've tried other MMOs where this is rampant and I did not enjoy it.

The combat mechanics are more enjoyable to me than in other MMOs I've tried. Yeah, I'm a filthy casual, but I'm not a 111111'er. I actually do use my utilities and other skills.

The community keeps me here, too, both in game and here in the forums.

I'm sure that there are a few other reasons, but these are the highest ones for me.

@Rendalmj.3152 said:Whats Preventing You From Coming Back To The GameI'm still having way more fun in this game than any of the others I try occasionally :) .

The time i commited. Feels bad.I am playing FF14 now though, but gonna do occasional raids and play the 2h of content every LS patch.

No other mmo with combat as good as GW2 mostly and some great QoL stuff GW2 has. During LS3, GW2 felt so dead, all my friends quit GW2 at that time and I felt like I was the only one playing. So I left too, played BDO for around 2 years with some breaks and returns to GW2. I feel the similar is happening right now (can't go back to BDO since it turned out to be disgusting P2W cash grab with some big issues not being fixed/resolved for years), but there are some friends still playing, so that keeps me from quitting for now. Unfortunately, the daily fractals and weekly raid clears is all what we do together before they go offline again. So not sure how long will this last.

Why im still playing the game? Easy. Gw2 is the best MMO ever, beautiful graphic, best combat style and WvW. Best MMO of all time. Thats why i wont be quitting anytime or ever and i will keep supporting the game.

[Tanith.5264]

I'm having fun, love my guild, and still find it to be a beautiful game after seven years.

[Randulf.7614]

The content may be dropping in substance but it’s still free and I still enjoy the gameplay just enough.

Whilst more and more and more games continue to drop elsewhere and distract my time, I’ll still have this to get into when I want.

[Alin.2468]

Already quit. Now I am just lurking on forums, waiting for something, anything.

[deffy.1320]

For the most part i play solo and even though gw2 is an mmo it's quite easy to also play solo it really does cater to all and there is always plenty to do and more to explore, all those lil things that are down right funny as to npcs comments and chat to the awe inspiring views when u travel the world, i have tried other games but there is nothing quite like gw2 that can hold my full attention like it does, so yes 7 years playing and hopefully many more.

[Teratus.2859]

I enjoy the game and the story, that's enough to keep me playing.

[Tinker.6924]

Its fun.I like the combat. I like vibe.

[Ben K.6238]

Combat, environment design, mounts, and charr.

Living World has been improving and might make the list soon, taking the spot left vacant by WvW. We'll see.

[Taygus.4571]

Im still having fun and have loads to keep me occupied.

[Acheron.4731]

The last stack of quartz I need to charge b4 waiting for 'expansion like content'

[sitarskee.5738]

Best combat in available MMORPGs.

[Rauderi.8706]

I haven't fully let go of GW2 because, maybe, my hopes that it will improve are still lingering. And a ton of character slots. So many characters.

[coso.9173]

That I have a lot of fun! That's its pretty as hell, and I love my character. And I still have skills to unlock, specially from hot.

[Raknar.4735]

Hope that we'll get bigger meta events like Tequatl and TTT and things like Queen's Gauntlet, the combat, Fashion Wars, the GW-story, community events like Cmaj anniversary / Horrorween

Edit: And not having to sub

[TheQuickFox.3826]

I'm in too deep. There is no way out.And I don't want to quit. I like the game. I love the series. I'll play the Living World and updates.I just hoped for an expansion and Cantha. But the fact that we don't get this (now) does not mean that I consider quitting altogether.

• The combat makes gameplay fun.
• There's always something to do in Guild Wars 2, but you have to make your own goals.
• GW2 has large PvE end-game content (lots of maps, meta events, fractals, raids, dungeons).
• I can play however I like, because there are nine unique classes with 2 elite specs + every weapon is different.

I played some MMORPG games, but they were usually boring, without good end-game content, e.g. Dragon's Prophet had awesome combat system (action, combos, control), but the end-game was extremly poor — only dungeons.

IRL & online friends that I play with often.There is a TON of stuff to do.Sill having fun after almost five years.No subscription fee.No gear grind.

[Endless Soul.5178]

There's really nothing that I can add that others above haven't said already. I do play other games as the mood strikes me, but the day I quit Guild Wars 2 for good is they day they shut the servers down. I love this game that much.

[NanoEliteSixSixSix.8935]

I like the setting, and enjoy coming back to play every now and then.

[ugrakarma.9416]

i cant dedicated long hours to any game anymore so the gw2 is the only viable online game to play at max 2hrs per day, with exception when new stuff are released i can push a bit more. Gaming ruined my health, so my spare time is divided with gym and cooking.
