guild wars 2 is it the game for me?

[edolamberto]

hi all, I'm new here and I would really appreciate your help regarding guild wars 2..
I always played mmorpg but I always left them for the same reason: no cooperative game (always solo and grinding) and no good PvP system..
so I'm asking a simple question: is guild wars 2 the game for me?
I hate to play alone so I'm looking for an high cooperative and versus game with a good PvP system where it' s impossible to get bored!
so who knows this thing better then who play this game?
tnx a lot in advance for your help

IMHO, I'd say it's just the game you're looking for. Especially if you get into a good active guild. With so many copies of the game being sold, I'd say you be hard pushed not to find coop...

[Fey]

Yes, if you put yourself out there and make friends/find a guild you like.

Nothing is impossible to get bored from. For every super hot guy/girl out there, there is somebody that's bored of them.

The small scale Pvp (spvp) in gw2 needs some more love but it should be getting it very soon. WvW type pvp (large scale pvp) can be very fun and tactical and challending...if you pick the correct server and guild.

Good luck, obviously most people here think the game is great and that you will enjoy it. But the choices you make and the mindset you have will play a major role in how you react to the gameplay.

Welcome to the forums

As with anything playing a game and getting a continued fresh view and enjoyment out of it comes from your attitude when you play. If you want a social atomsphere and play with nice friendly people, find a nice friendly guild. There are alot of them (this is Guild Wars you know)

As always play and have fun, the only wrong way to play a game is the way that you don't have fun while doing.

Tnx a lot.. I guess i'll give it a try, even if i have to spend 50€ cause i didnt's see any way to have a free trial

[Zorac]

Yes right now there are no free trials. Back around Christmas Anet allowed account holders to e-mail free trial codes to their friends, but they have said nothing about giving that opportunity again.

Oh, i almost forgot an important question: does item mall unbalance game?
I mean, i played some f2p mmorpg where item mall's users were overpowered compared to the others..

Nothing you can buy at the store for money (as in cash shop) will give you an extra edge. Now, don't confuse that with the notion that buying gems and turning them into in game gold will not allow you to buy better items from the in game economy.

Money is gathered easy enough in the game, and you should make enough of it as you go along to keep up good gear for your level as you go up. Once you get max lvl, you should also have plenty of money for a nice exotic set. No idea what it'll take to get the highest lvl gear (Ascended) as most of it has not been release yet, but I doubt it will be overly cheap.

Now you could just as easily spend that $50 and have the money to keep up with all the gear and stuff right away without going out and "farming" for it, but that's a personal choice, the game doesn't really force you into a pay to win gameplay.

NO.

The cashshop is mostly just cosmetic items. There are boosters, that can increase xp gain and such for an hour, but those can also be gotten in game, rarely but you can get them in game.

Also there is pretty much no gear grind in the game. The BEST gear in the game Legendary which is very hard to get but is only slightly better than the next best which is very easily crafted or gotten through dugeon tokens, Karma (you earn Karma by doing pretty much everything) or even just buying it cheaply from the Trading Post (which is what over players have made or found and are selling) It can even drop from bosses and mobs.

Anet has promised never to sell gear in the Cash shop to avoid the P2W situation that happens in a lot of f2p games. So far they have kept that promise.
