| Guild wars has been nerfed |

Let me try to explain to all you non understanding people:
Prophecies used to be a game which was super, and I mean supercool. people knew what they could expect and the game was challenging and fun. You had to work hard to get items but then you actually had something you could be proud of.
Then it started... The introduction of the green item.
The value in money that the golden items lost after the sorrows funrace updates can't be described. Im talking 100 million gold easily.
The idea of giving people who were to noobish to farm or make money in other ways a chance to have a good item was very nice. But not apreciated.
The experienced guild wars players felt like they were being ignored and Anet choose to aid the noob majority of the players who have no clue what they're doing.
This theory was further proved with the intro of factions.
The experienced players slowly saw guild wars change into a more cheap sort of game that is being used to get the new sort of noobish gamers, the kids who happen to want something else than just plain MSN-ing, but hate to invest time in games cuz they don't game a lot, to buy it and in order to keep them playing nerf everything so that the noobs can succeed too.
The hardcore guild wars players could go f*ck themselves. That's the mssg Anet send the Guild wars community.
Guild halls for example, used to be very cool to have, only guilds with cash had em. A sigil was 60/70k those days. Now its 10k becuz thats how you keep the mob playing.
Experienced players felt betrayed, they had invested so much time in this game, getting 15k armors and golden items, and were gonna buy the next campaign just becuz they loved guild wars, not because of the new features/professions.
Arena net is losing these players, because Arena net wants 1 thing: $$$$$. Who can blame em? It's still a company and they wanna drive mercedes. Understandable.
But because they are aiming for a wider audience to sell more copies of guild wars and drive mercedes benz the hardcore guild wars players feel like A net doesn't care about them, and just wants to keep the majority of players happy so they keep playing so that A net employees get rich.
Meaning: making stuff cheaper, making farming difficult to prevent people from actually having enough money so that they need to spend ages playing guild wars to get that new weapon.
A net WANTS everyone to play guild wars for ages, because that gives their employees a chance to buy a even bigger mercedes benz. (you have been playing for 3 hours, please take a break my *ss, that's just to prevent angry parents of epileptic children going to court and sueing you guys!)
It's time to accept it. Guild wars HAS been nerfed.
I used to play every day now I don't even bother that much.
I will continue to play because I still have fun playing, but I'ts not THE Guild wars any more, its just a game now.

I couldn't agree more.
I used to think GW was cool and it still is the best game I ever played, but now, I'm losing my interest. It's just not special anymore..

you know, i have to agree.. i miss the old guildwars where all there was, was the core profs. And all the hunting for the perfect gold. Then there were greens.. great great things but they got overfarmed.. prices on them went down as so did the gold items. This makes you feel like the everyday player not a person who put a bunch of effort into the game to get something.. and ive said this before. Anet wants you to go through the game 20 different times with each proffession.. you do the math.....this is what it will take to get FoW armor and 15k is like that but less dramatic. Maybe they want these to be luxury type items again....idk

I disagree with you. While Prophecies WAS a superior game compared to the later campaigns, it didn't become worse due to the updates. The only things that have degraded the entertainment level of Prophecies have been the introduction of green items and people's experience. Face it, everything that is capable of being done in Prophecies has been done a thousand times. People know what to expect too much, and strategies have been designed to do everything quickly and easily, so there's no challenge in Prophecies anymore.
As I said, I do feel that the introduction of green items did make Prophecies less fun, in part because of the reasons you stated. Perfect items are not anything special now because of the existence of cheap and plentiful greens, so anything that isn't perfect is automatically considered crap. Hell, people don't even look at collector stuff anymore since the (unmodded) collector items are typically more difficult to get than greens.
However, your main point, about everything being nerfed... That affects noobs MORE than experienced players! People who have been playing long enough to make powerful builds on their own can and do make powerful builds whenever an old one gets nerfed. It's the noobs, who do not know how to make builds, who are affected by the nerfstick since all they are capable of is using a build someone else came up with.
On top of that, money is just as easy, or even EASIER, to come up with now than it ever was before. Personally, I've always gotten terrible drops whenever I farm, so I never managed to net more than 3k in 10 minutes' farming, whether it be trolls, minotaurs, hydras, titans, imps, kirin, vermin, insects, djinni, you name it. The thing is, I STILL net 3k in 10 minutes' farming using builds that I devised on my own terms and with my own mind.
Just because standard 55 monk builds or teams don't work well doesn't mean farming is dead. Just because all of the builds you've seen before have gotten nerfed doesn't mean there is not another. You really just have to look for it; decide a character you want to farm on, decide a place to farm, then figure out what you have to do to farm it. Sure, it might take some trial and error, but, hey! now you have a farming build all your own!
Your comment about why Celestial Sigils are cheaper is just simply mistaken. It isn't because of any updates ANet has made; it's because there are more people going to the Hall of Heroes and fewer people buying Celestial Sigils. Supply and demand; when the demand is low, price is low. That's how the traders work.
Guild Wars has gotten nerfs, but Guild Wars itself has not gotten nerfed. If you think the game itself isn't as hard as it used to be, consider the fact that your own skill level is higher than it was a year ago. A master player can do things easily that newbies cannot at all. Don't believe me? Find a place that you thought was challenging a while back, take the same build that you were using then, with the same henchmen, same armor, same equipment, and everything the same... And notice that it isn't as hard as you remember it. Nerfed, maybe? No. Skill, experience, and mastery. It's all in the technique.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you couldn't be more wrong. Anet couldn't care less how much you play, once you've bought the game, they've got all the money they are going to out of you. Their goal has nothing to do with how much you play, they just want to keep you playing so you continue to buy new campaigns. So your entire argument is completely off-base. They are doing everything they can to keep the game interesting to the veteran players as well as expand it to a larger audience. It's not like you are being charged by the hour, they actually would prefer it if you didn't spend hours grinding to get some dumb weapon.
Your misconception, which is a common one, is that everything in guild wars revolves around money and making yourself look 'leet.' It doesn't, if that's what you're looking for, you should go play WoW, because I hear that's what that game is all about, grinding for money and items so you can be 'uber-leet.' But that's not guildwars. Getting FoW armor is the the ultimate goal of the game, it was added as a money sink so people who wasted, and I mean wasted, all their play time farming would have something to use their money on. The entire purpose of this game is to put everyone on the same level, no matter how often they play per week. And the way you talk about noobs, personally, you can quit, I couldn't care less. This game is for everyone, no matter how experienced you are. You think Anet should give you some special treatment because you have farmed UW alone for 2,000 hours? I wouldn't hold my breath.

As I mentioned In my post I'm not thinking of quitting the game, and I can and I have adepted.
As for money I make 3k in 10 minutes 2, so thats not my problem. I don't think farming is dead at all, I'm saying
It has changed in a way I can't apreciate..
I simply mentioned that guild wars is being changed into a game I don't like as much as prophecies used to be. "guild wars has been nerfed" wasn't supposed to be taken litterally, but thats pretty obvious if you took the time to read what I posted. ;D
No offence, but I just think you're 1 of those people who never had that feeling when playing prophecies. I think it was always "just a game" to you. same goes for Xaviak and Brynden, it seems you guys didn't get what I mean. Ah well, not everyone gets it.

I just get on occasionally to hang out with friends and chat ... do the occasional mission etc, but other than that ... meh, I could care less. its not the good old guildwars anymore

i always thought guildwars was an awesome game and it still is ! i dunno what your feeling was but if it has changed because of a farming nerf then you should play GW. why the hell do you think they nerf farming ? do you really think they do it to **** *** ** *** **** and make money of it ?

WTF? Damn this is the last time I explain myself again, you people just don't get it.. :/
Ah well, I explained guild wars has changed in a way I can't apreciate! Why are you thinking I'wanna go kill Anet employees and steal their mercdeses becuz they nerfed some farming build? no dude, they just nerf too much. And they made guild wars worse because of it.
I wanna bet I know why you don't get it. You didn't play prophecies, or you never had that " what a f*cking good game!" feeling when you played it. Thats why you will never understand.

Your complaining about how Guild Wars isn't the same anymore and it lost all its original elements, and now its just a game.
And interestingly enough, you still play.
......
Thank you Maqulvent for this siggy

Ditto tor and every other person that wants it back to the way it was before NF, personaly I find that the balence of greens worked fine in factions, made just nuff money, but not too much.

I have my opinions about the game
I started playing only a month before factions came out so sorry im not an old timer or whatever.
but i can see...EASILY see how the new classes kind of wreck the core professions. Its just annoying, because instead of out stratigizing the othere team or players, its almost LUCK as too, well do my build include the skills to counter their build ??
probably not because there are 10 professions each with 100 skills. Its just frustrating because it comes off to me as more luck then anything. And yeah yeah, i know its cool that every build has a counter, but some builds dont have a very effective counter.
And i dont care what flak i catch for this, but PvE in this game is just a suppliment to the PVP.

NO opinion is wrong, but niether is it right. What he and you said I belive is correct to some extent. 'Anet couldn't care less how much you play, once you've bought the game, they've got all the money they are going to out of you.' Thats true in a way, if you had to pay monthly no one would play, but this way you have to try the game and they have all the money they need. I and many others stopped playing for various reasons, farming was all fine as a little freedom. Playing the storyline over isnt always fun, a little somthing on the side makes it much better. If you ever played GTA youd probably know that if you just followed the storyline you are missing out on a lot. The whole game is not 'nerfed', its just a little less enjoyable for the majority. It has caused a loss of players but Anet must or may have a way to stabalise the numbers playing. The game was not made for you and you dont have to play it, but im sure Anet could respond to a few more requests once in a while.

very well sed, infact im that discusted with Anet now that i have decided to quit guildwars. they new update should have been
*Taken all skills out of the game and now u can only normal attack
* monsters will now only fight you one on one
there just recking the game for most of the hardcore gamers (me)
*Uninstalls Guildwars*
i think that 1000's of ppl r gonna quit after this update cos sum ppl only like to farm, and farming is justting recked, they say there tryin to stop bots but you will neva stop bots cos bots dnt care if it takes 30 mins to kill 1 mob, where as human players wouldnt want to kill a mob if it took that long. so basically there just recking the game for the legit farmers.
Bye Bye Guildwars

I agree with you that with the new expansions that came out, prophecies lost a lot of its old appeal. Its "magic", if you will. But Guild Wars is still a great game, and in my opinion still one of the best out there.
When Factions came out I really hated it at first and continued to exclusively play prophecies for the next two months. Alliance Battles are great fun however (if you don't mind the waiting) and after playing that for a while I started to appreciate Factions more, and even enjoyed the storyline.
When Nightfall came out, I really loved it at first, but I'm not exactly a fan of how it affected the game (too many and easy greens, and no one plays with actual players anymore since we have heroes).
Overall, Guild Wars lost a lot of its magic since the old days. Therefore it is now the greatest game in the world with slightly less greatness compared to other games then before.

I agree with both Rebel and silver. You guys point out your opinion quite well and supported your ideas. It's good to see people being able to say their true opinion but explain why it,s there.
Prophecy was an awesom game. Anet build a good game on that, no other free online game could of been compared to that. I even enjoyed it more then D&D or WoW even EQ2. Money was easy to make then but it's also easy to make now. People would complain then about how hard it is to make Ks and people still complain today. It's just about creating a good build, sadly players seems to prefer taking the same build has another one and often called it their own creation. People play for fun and what ever they enjoyed is alright.
THe opening of the greens and Sorrows Furnace came in at good time. it seemed that most people were bored with the game not knowing what to do. Unlike waht it was mention, Green items didn't screw up the economy, it give us new goals. I remember being online all night the second the updates was made. Was good time back then. Players would play with other Players instead of just heroes.
Factions came out, factions disappointed me and alot of other players. But it gave us soemthing new to do and we all did go through the game, farm factions and beat the game. The new pvp system was fun too. I quit at that time i wasnt impress with anything from the new content. I came back wiht Nitefall which i thought was good. Took me a week to get bored with it. I was very disapointed to realized how lil experienced players were left and how empty areas are.
Either way, GW is part of the Gaming Industry. People create a game not just to be something good but to make money. The second you walk out of the store with a game. It doesnt really matter if you enjoyed it or not, it's their money now. I thought Prophecy was easy, factions easier and Nitefall too much like WoW. I didn't think Factions was easy becuz i was more experienced since i thought Prophecy was easy from the first character i created. Anet has an advantage and probly the reason why many players who are disapointed with the game plays. Their advantage is the fact that there is no other game that is just as fun, popular with nice graphic on the market that is free and online.
I belive Anet nerfed themselv out when they decided to mkae it a stand alone expansion and the coming of Heroes everywhere is their solutions. Towns and missions are emptied becuz gamers are spread out everywhere. Many players own only NF or only Factions there's no going together. Where GW was a good mmo where you could meet new player then, now you will spend more time with your heroes and henchies.
When you think about it tho, if it wouldn't be for nerf after nerf that Anet has put upon us, would this game still be here. At every nerf, people get mad they complain they argue. Then they surrender and find new builds. Day after Day finding new skills to work on and new ways to do new things.
So yup it was nerf, but in a way it was nerf for the best for them. I quit the game, i dont spend more then 10 min a week on it compared to 8 hours a day.

The game has NOT been nerfed....It has been IMPROVED!!!! What you get are people who think that the game is THEIRS. Well its not. It is the community as a whole. You can complain about this and that all you want. I own all 3 chapters, plus 2 extra sets for my 2 oldest kids. All 3 of us love the game in its current and past states. Every online game goes through changes. Its all part of the evolution. So either deal with, accept it, and enjoy it. Or go find another one to buy, play, and then complain when it changes to.
This a forum, a place where popular and unpopular opinions are voiced. If you don't like what I have to say, I don't care. Logically tell me how or why I am wrong, and we can discuss it. Reply to me the way an upset 10 year old replies, and you will be spoken to as such.

they say there tryin to stop bots but you will neva stop bots cos bots dnt care if it takes 30 mins to kill 1 mob, where as human players wouldnt want to kill a mob if it took that long. so basically there just recking the game for the legit farmers.

i agree.
i think bot users just come home from god knows where (or they never even left their house:D), press on the biiiiig "start farmin" button and watch tv for the rest of the day and when they DO play, theyll just walk around showin off their FOW armor and the billions of gold they have "farmed" but when u will ask em to farm with you or to help you with a misson or quest, theyll most likely die at the first mob cuz the most of em lack the experience of playin it urself then lettin a piece of software do all the work for you.
now i farm quiet allot just so i can get a nice set of armor or weapons for my chars, but almost evry time im beginnin to be really good with the build and all, THEY NERF IT.
now i dont say tht i too am gonna stop playin GW bcuz im still a big fan, but they really need to stop nerfing evrythin and say they do it to stop bot users cuz bot users dont give a damn. becuz after evry nerf, the most experienced GW players will think of builds so evry1 can farm again. only thin bot users need to do is search for the build, configure their bot programs, and press tht big button again. the only ppl tht are affected by the nerfs are THE PPL THT ACTUALLY PLAY and not the bots.
but thts just my opinion.

Ever heard the saying: 'The Meek shall inherit the earth'?
Of course ANet are going to pander to the majority and if the majority want to play that way then let them. Personally I like to beat them at their own game by using what they give me effectively and going out there to gosh darn it, enjoy myself!
So what if they gave us a load of greens? I only use a green if it suits my purpose but I much prefer my custom gold items which are exactly what I want.
I agree that ANet has made changes to favor the 12yr olds, to make the game more accessible and to stop well practiced teams from holding halls indefinatly (anyone remember IWAY??) but has all this really changed your experience for the worst? How boring would it be to run through NF pounding stupid mobs that stood in your AoE and dropped ecto 9 times out of 10 and a rare green the 10th?
IMO the thing that keeps people coming back is that the game is dynamic and you don't get anything for free...kinda like real life...I know I like to keep coming back for more of that!
I like my individual characters with individual skill bars that I and my friends made and it's now a running joke to see a W/Mo with Wiki's HH build.
The game only gets boring when you play it to death every day. Take a few days off to see friends, get drunk, get laid and then come back all refreshed and eager to play. Do something new in game (it's BS if you say you've done EVERYTHING!) and enjoy it for what it is rather than complaining that it's not how you'd like it.
I think that's it...
^_^

I'd Like to say just one thing to all the people that are saying Guild wars Sucks now cos the skills got nerfed/changed.
Its an internet game, it will have its changes, if you dont like it go play something else. If you play WoW i know they have Updates and everything, but i dont see people complaining about WoW(out of their 8 million players)
Edited out the comment

Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap. If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music the add this to your signature.

Im not quitting GW.I dont mind the updates they have done.They will change again in 3-4 weeks.But i would like to know how A-net picks and chooses what group that will they to improve the game for?
I like playing at Fort Aspenwood and the one time i got to play at Jade Quarry.But why are the leachers and leachbots still at FA.Im guessing it has something to do with factions not being new anymore.But it seems the players thier and myself are the only ones that dont want the leachers there.So i have yet to see any update addressing this.
I also enjoy trying new builds.Farming isnt my thing.The GW box said thier was no grinding involved.But how long should it take to sell items.Or should i spend roaming aimlessly just to get enough gold to buy more skillz and armor(not the 15k sets)just so i can try a build that im not even sure will work.Now i read teh fourms and have seen planty of players ask and beg and even brainstorm for a way to add an Auction House.But again I have yet to see an update.
So just what type of player is A-Net trying to make the game better for?

This is what i have to say about GW getting nerfed. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN DONT PLAY! AND QUIT WHINING ABOUT HOW GW IS NERFED B/C OF ANET! I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT A GAME AND SAY "BUT I STILL PLAY IT". IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN DONT PLAY SO THERE WILL BE LESS WHINERS IN GW. Thank you for reading this... please axcuse the caps lock i just thought it was fitting for my mood right about now.
