I stopped playing 8 months ago after almost 6.5 years constant playing without breaks. But i finally gave up my hopes. GW2 has still alote of potential. Just same small examplesLook at gliding, implemented with hot and later also implemented in wvw wich gave the wvw some new flair.Look at the mounts and pet races implemented at pof. Complete new mechanics. Gliding mounts wich is giving us small changes of gameplaying. BUT, when did we get the mounts-> after like 5 years. Pretty to late. There is realy realy alote of more potential in GW2. Like a new race or new weapon, profession...Sure we got new Specilasations like a Druid, wich was then a "crippled" healer or the Firebrand, also "crippled" healer instead a real healer profession. Also Anet doesnt want to hear his players or doesnt respond to there demands like on the ranger longbow. With Hot the longbow got a nerf and we coudnt use it for like 4 years or longer? And what did we got instead, melee ranger builds, healer druid? The only thing we got as answere was: We here you, We know what you want. Another example: Players wanted for a long time SAB back. When did we get it back, after 3-4 years. Any progress in SAB = no. One of the demands was GvG. Completle ignored by anet. Why is this game called Guild Wars and not World Wars?What we got was a Grinding feast Guild hall, where only the buffs are good, with a not really working arena..... Lots of players like to farm Gold. The gold farm (generation) is compared to the first 3 years greatly reduced. Instead the gem price is flying in the hights and the grinding in the game is also getting in mass. Grinding for gold, AP, Raids, skins ...... (dont forgett one of the many promisses of ANET -> Gw2 will not be a grinding game). I wont go into changes in PVP wich makes me really angry, or the stagnation in WvW. So what we get from anet:Lots of grindLots of skins + gem store skinsLots of RNGLots of empty promisses.Lots of slow changes in game.Lots of player demand ignoring. I lost hope and stopped playing GW2. One last advise from an old gamer to the game developers: Stop trying to push players into the play style YOU want them to play. Start hearing out the demands of the players earnestly and set the demands into progress (not after years). Stop looking into your statistics and then telling us we know what you want.
