I would if the game actually ran decent enough, but even on my midrange PC I built less than two years ago, it struggles to run above 60 FPS when the action on-screen gets slightly intense. For a game that came out eight years ago, that’s kind of atrocious, especially considering my PC I built the year after it came out seemed to run it perfectly fine. I’m hoping the Steam release comes with more optimization.
Although I have heard not so great things about the game’s recent content releases. I also read an article that this next expansion is something of a hail mary, and if it fails, then it’s very likely the game will shut down.
gw2 is one of my most played mmos, i go back to it now and then. it’s one those mmos that i can drop for a year, come back, and still be relevant. i have 1-3 sets of the best gear on all profs…totally solo. there isn’t many other mmo that allows something like this. it’s refreshing.
that said, i can’t be really be a healer which kinda sucks. it’s all about dps. sure there is support type specs now and quasi healers, but it’s really not the same: 99.99% of the content does not need them. in fact, due to how mob tagging works to get credit it’s actually detrimental to play a support spec.
anyways, i am not really playing it atm b/c i am waiting for the expansion. i will most likely go back to gw2 to play that for sure: it’s action combat and open world content is well worth it.
Nope, and it’s a shame because it was, or is a good game. Maybe I’m weird but I think thorns was a great expansion and the tangled depths was one of the best zones designs in any mmo.
But it’s so fractal focused, slow on substantive content update, and wvw has remained pretty much untouched it’s easy to get bored.
I played for about 6 years, starting at launch. It’s a good game, well worth a look. The world building is great, really inspired me to explore. The combat felt good. I liked most of the art aethestic.
I enjoyed the story much more than WoW’s. I was ridiculously happy to get off the gear treadmill of most MMO’s (including WoW’s). I liked the more cooperative gameplay style. The mount system in GW2 is wonderful.
On the other hand, I missed trinity play. I didn’t like the Limited Action Set as much as having lots of abilities, though it’s OK. I found the GW2 dungeons to be vastly inferior to WoW’s, and I never enjoyed the Fractals ANet more or less replaced dungeons with.
But in the end, the biggest problem was just that I got bored. Glad as I was to escape the gear treadmill, I didn’t find a suitable time filler to replace it. 1 - 2 hours of story content every few months just wasn’t enough to hold my interest.
Yes. Because it was “free” (Not really, very p2w)
I spend a good few months playing. Got to max level. Got ever skill/level/ability possible for my class at the time, and got bored.
I did like the whole living story concept with actual tangible effects on the world.
No.
My husband tried it out years ago and said it was terrible.
I tried it years ago. It was okay, but felt kinda hollow like it was all about looking pretty without any substance. The abilities changing based on weapon type is a cool feature though.

i remember when it came out.
how quick ppl went from hyped to bored and came back to wow 
I would like to but I don’t play 2 games at the same time.
If one day Blizzard’s decisions for Warcraft make it intolerable for me, GW2 is one that I would like to try.
I went back to my old old GW2 when it had either required Sub or to Buy the Game, it was interesting to try out again and there was definitely a lot of active people there but somethings I didn’t really understand or liked much. Alsofor some reason now GW2 Lags pretty bad I think it may be the volume of people in one Area it just becomes unplayable, funny to see Giant Dragon World Bosses and stuff get instantly melted by thousands of people though. 
Something about GW2 just doesn’t sit right with me… it’s hard to explain. Filling the little heart quests is weird to me. The entire quest system is weird. The way your abilities interact with you are weird, and the dodge system I don’t like.
Classes in general just don’t have enough abilities, feels like the skill ceiling is much lower than most MMOs.
im very casual with gw2
every 2-3 years me and the crew i play this with come back, gobble up the story then bounce
GW2 has the best smallbro race of all the fantasy universes

Asuras are pretty dope for jump puzzles. I do like the jump puzzles.
Played it years ago. Just picked it up again and am having fun, way more so than wow. I have been playing wow for awhile. Maybe its the new ness, not sure. like the exploration, customizing, crafting( a bit overwhelming) But yeah Also not getting irritated every 2 secs like I was in wow.
I do, its my go too mmo when I wait between expansions when not sub.
Also love their Mount and Class system they always add need elite spec! Open world is extremely fun. The story is decent and the NPC that you do the story bits are ok.
Before shadowlands I was farming to unlock my Flying dragon mount… whew, its taken me almost a year to casually farm it. Oh, I need to check if they have the undead skin on the store! 
Laterz! 
EDIT: They still haven’t brought it to store again… sigh*
