    it’s too bad Elveon never came about, we would another new genre.

    But I do like action RPGs, just not guild wars. It was more grindy than anything else and the setting was flat and boring.

    anet is the same lead game devs who made daiblo and wow

    I couldn’t get into GW either. I didn’t like the way the world was layed out. Amoung other things.

    I love guild wars envirments I hate the nerfs to skills.

  10. It can’t have been that bad if you managed to play it for four whole years before getting bored.

    I played up till NightFall (on and off mind; I beat one then stoped till the next came out, mainly due to the lack of anything actually worth doing apart form the main quest) and just dropped it before the end. I was playing it every time with a friend but the magic had just gone at that point, it felt to samey and the difficulty curve was all over the place.
