Gw2 is going to die?

Sure the game will die. Everyone on this forum is going to die too, but it's not much use in worrying about it, since for most of us, it'll be a long time.

Your experiences represent your opinion of the game. I've been playing the game since beta and I have different experiences. I'm not bored. I'm still enjoying the game. 20% or so of my guild has left since beta. But we have more active players now then we did at launch, because new people keep joining.

There are NO MMOs that can provide enough content at launch to stop people from burning through it. WoW didn't do it. Rift didn't do it. No one did it. Because it's not possible. People just burn through content too fast.

So MMOs launch at some point with not enough content to keep people playing forever, and people stop playing and come back when new content comes out. In a game without a monthly fee this is particularly easy. No one has to start paying again to come back and see what's new.

Guild Wars 2 has already sold 3 million copies...that's another million or so after launch. My server is busy all the time. WvW is still popular. PvP will probably get a lot more popular with the February update, when they add more competitive features into the game. PVe is doing fine...and more PVe stuff will be released as time goes on.

Will Guild Wars 2 die, of course it will. Guild Wars 1 will die too, at some point, since it's 7 years old now. But it won't die in the near future and the stuff you're complaining about is pretty minuscule in the wide realm of things.

In fact, let's look at the Zhaitan battle. Spoliers below so if you haven't played it and don't want to know, don't read this section.

Basically, before you face Zhaitan, you've already starved him, partially blinded him, and in general did a bunch of other stuff to weaken his defenses. I don't know if you thought you'd run up to him and hit him with a sword and it would be all done, because that's just silly. The laser that destroys him is a product of technology DESIGNED to destroy him. Your sword or dagger or staves wouldn't do much against an elder dragon. And if you think that's better or more plausible...well you're welcome to that opinion but I disagree.

It's also true that Zhaitan is simply the first of the elder dragons we face. The game isn't over it's just started. He's really the beginning of the fight against dragons. You're looking for the end boss, but he's not. Jormag is still out there. Kralkatorrik is still out there. Primordus is still out there. And there's a deep sea dragon we know nothing about.

MMOs aren't really about endings...they're about beginnings. And you know, even after defeating Zhaitan there are still four paths of that dungeon in explorable mode, all of which are harder.

In truth, I think you misunderstand the intention of Zhaitan. He was just there to prove we could kill a dragon, not to be the most powerful dragon of all time. He main strength was control undead, which we took away from him.

So yeah, the game's not dying, it's going quite well. It's not going to die in the near future. Go away, play some other games, come back in two years and see if the game is dead.

Oh and as for the Elder Scrolls Online, do you really believe it will come out with a bigger world, more content or more to do than Guild Wars 2? Because if you think that's the case, you're probably mistaken. It'll probably be quite a decent MMO when it comes out...but like every other MMO it's going to take time and money to build enough content...and it will never really have enough, because people will just keep burning through it.

Gw2 is going to die?

No.

Also, my prediction is that Elderscrolls online will be a massive fail riddled with bugs and to little content. It will however pave the way for a much better release somewhere in the neighborhood of 2017

GW2 didn't rip off of the Elder Scrolls, both of them ripped off of real life, particularly early medieval Scandinavians. They're called "Norse" on Earth, "Nord" on Tamriel, and "Norn" in Tyria. In WoW they played with the word "Viking" instead and made a race called "vyrkul" that lived in the frosty north.
