Kicking old players to the curb

[Vayne]

I'm 50. I do jumping puzzles all the time, and love them. I didn't beat the clock tower, though I put some time into it. In the end, I had other things I wanted to do more. Had I slaved away at it I probably could have beaten it, but not this week.

Guild Wars 2 is a big game with a tremendous amount of content, particularly for an MMO that charges no monthly fee. It offers experiences and you choose the ones you like. It's called a theme park MMO for a reason.

You don't go to Disneyworld and say this is bullshit Space Mountain is just too fast for me I might have a heart attack. You go to Epcot Center instead and choose that part of the experience. In the Magic Kingdom you do the Jungle Cruise, the Haunted House and the Hall of Presidents.

What about people who have a fear of spiders. There are plenty of those. Is Anet discrimating against them? What about people who don't like PvP, or aren't good/fast enough to play that, is Anet discrimating against them?

You didn't pay for the program, you paid for access to the content, nothing more. From there, you choose the content that's fun for you. If not enough of it is fun for you, you find a game that gives you more for your money. Good luck with that, btw.

In the meantime, Anet offered a variety of content for everyone in this patch. PvP, PvE, lorehounds, platformers, farmers...everyone got something.

Oh, it undoubtedly gets harder as you get older. What I don't get is the "Everything must be brought down to a level where I can complete it!" Just like I saw a few people complaining on the official forums that they were getting PvP'ed in the Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle. Uh, yeah dude. That's the point.

If the devs put something like the Clock Tower in as a personal story or dungeon completion requirement, I'd complain up a storm. Since it really didn't matter whether or not someone completed the Clock Tower this year, I don't see a problem with it.

*snort* But what if you're a Disney completionist? "I NEED that check mark by Mr. Toad!! Spinning teacups make me sick, but I gotta have 'em!"

The game discriminates against those who dont meet the NWO demands, very soon we will be like in old Rome, killing the old people and killing those who dont meet the standards. The approach that you all have to those who cannot meet your criteria is very well documented in your responses. That is the best proof.

Well, this thread just lost all credibility or seriousness.

I was a Disneyworld completionist, or at least an Epcot completionist. I had to do EVERYTHING when I was down there. lol

No, just the story and the atmosphere. lol

I've done everything at Disneyland and California Adventure at least once, but I used to live a half hour away and had an annual pass, so I could take my time. How many days did it take you to get everything done? The lines alone could have taken you days, even with fast passes.
