I really really loved the fact that this game required that I think fast and have decent handspeed compared to other MMO's. I used to play lineage 2, and after playing BW I realized I could abuse my superior (to MMO players lol) handspeed to play summoners in olympiad and have a 100% winrate, seeing as summoner is the most OP class when used properly in olympiad. I absolutely loved the PvE in GW compared to other games, and the fact that my gf is the one who pulled me into playing makes it all the sweeter. Like i said I hadnt investigated PvP much, but even after everything you guys have said, it still seems fun to me since Im a newbie  Really hope GW2 will restore my soul that actiblizzard has so expertly smashed to bits  | ||

Then we started releasing articles, and writing on the forums and arguing with everyone about what was broken (Energy Denial) and then lo and behold everyone "got it". The game got REALLY good for like a year and then the expansion hit. I quit iQ and the game for good at that time. There were other issues with the game that took them time (PvP templates and Unlock All Skills) that we were shouting to them for like 2 years. By the time they listened GvG/Halls was already ruined and the game went to shit. | ||

Most of the guys in iQ were already months ahead of the curve and only the Koreans were even a problem.

By the time they listened GvG/Halls was already ruined and the game went to shit. TBH you shouldn't see articles as a bad thing, you'd have noticed it more in the late faction/early nightfall build wars era that with each build/metagame shift new talents would pop up, half of the community would always be fresh and the people who would keep playing would have their titles, their reputation and just get listened to. Also before they added observer mode articles were just necessary, or the learning curve would have been WAY too steep. Also the whole "game going to shit" meme isn't something I agree with, it didn't die during factions, it didn't die when the koreans left, nor during eurospike. As soon as Anet stopped giving money to the tournament winners, well that's what really forced the gg. And this doesn't even mean everyone stopped playing, rawr kept playing unbalanced bugged builds with developer support (a couple MATs were found to be rigged, but the metagame wasn't my thing anymore back then) and you'll still find people playing now. Some of which might even be good players. | ||

Doesn't look like it's going to be out a while sadly. It's a really bad sign when they have 8 classes but only 1 is released (elementalist) so far. Sigh. Does anyone know of a major forum site for the game? Doesn't seem like there is an official one. | ||

Doesn't seem like there is an official one. closest your going to get to the reaming gw community is www.teamquitter.com but since gw is spread so thin these days, its a pretty crappy forum compared to team liquid. But there aren't nazi moderators there that ban you all the time either. the offical guild wars irc is #gwp on the gamesurge irc network. | ||

The arena format was NOT the main focus of GW1. Random arenas were for bored people who wanted to sweat for their glad (or just ragequit till they found a perfect team before the fix) and Team Arenas were for lamers. The main focus of GW1 was GvG which is staying, only with perfect good-to-go gear available as soon as you install the game (no unlocking of staff heads, bardings, insignia required). The team sizes are likely to shrink back to 6v6, hopefully they won't get smaller than that. | ||
