Personally I love it. I think there's too little new content to warrant the price tag, but knowing that there will be more content updates through time I don't think this is an issue.

So far I've been playing the revenant, trying the elite specializations and doing some of the new story quests, and having great fun.

a lot of daily shit to do. I think the fractal update coming will be good. bugfixes for the crashes would be nice- also getting map completion rewards too cause that bug.

it's ok. feels more like a responsibility than a game, but it has its highlights.

story is aggravating but altogether tells a nice story, new boss fights kill braindead people - more endgame content was needed. overall pretty good if you don't have a job. if you do gl keeping up lol

I finally just leveled every class to level 80 after nearly 3 years of owning the game, and I don't even have the expansion. MMOs aren't meant for people like me (AKA those with work and a love life).

So you're saying that you didn't enjoy doing all this?

I play casually too, and I absolutely love it.

I did, but the amount of time I did all that, I never even really farmed much to get good gear or anything. I have full exotics on everyone, and 1 ascended weapon on my warrior along with ascended accessories on him and a couple other characters from laurels. I don't even have 5000 achievements yet lol.

Would be fun to have much higher gear and like 30+ characters like people in my guild, but like I said, plenty of other stuff take up my time. MMOs take so much dedication. All I can say is that got my $60 worth over the years.

As a now-casual who played pretty hardcore 3 years ago when the game was first released, and not since in 2.5 years, it is very meh for me.

I already have every class to 80, map completion, story done, outfits unlocked, and a legendary.

Heart of the Thorns, as a stand-alone by itself, is very weak.

I completed the HoT story, did map completion, and ran into a brick wall. After grinding half of Maguuma masterys and participating in as much of the zones as I could, there isn't anything left to do. I have completely done Tyria, so that is causing some problems. My server might be, as well. My server does Verdant Brink all day, but only does the next zone during the daytime / prime time (the one with the exalted city), and doesn't do any of the other zones hardly at all. This reminds me of Cursed Shore when the original GW2 released

I personally haven't tried the raids because there wasn't enough to keep me onboard before they finally got around to releasing them, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt.

this might be true. i was loveless for 6 months, on seasonal lay-off, and in that time made a Sunrise ezpz.

I think my biggest GW2 accomplishment since I started dating my GF, has been reaching level 15 in Fractals.
