Sadly some need a gear treadmill…

My friends talked me into playing it but I only lasted a day. Any time I asked how to get anything cool the answer was always like “just play through the entire 3rd expansion”

It wasn’t fun running behind a bunch of people on mounts I wouldn’t be able to get for several weeks

Don’t you get a Raptor mount at level 10 when you have bought any of the existing expansions, i. e. HoT, PoF or EoD?

Yep, before August 2nd 2022, but it must have been such a horrible experience that it was still haunting him/her more than a year later. 😏

I mean, you could literally get a raptor in less than an hour of gameplay…

Unless you’re talking Warclaw in WvW, in which case yeah that sucks but then again so does all the rest of WvW. And it’d have nothing to do with the 3rd expansion.

If you didn’t like it that’s fine, but there’s no need to make up nonsense.

I also wonder why you’re here, too, if you only played for a day, didn’t like it, and quit. Not saying you shouldn’t be here, just puzzled as to why you’d spend your time here, that’s all.

People browse all, that’s how I found this.

Also just because you can get a mount easily now doesn’t mean you could when they played.

I couldn’t get a mount easily last time I played without just spending money. That was a couple years ago but the game has been out for a long time.

I like the game, but I’ve never had anyone to play with. It’s not as fun solo.

That’s true, but luckily I feel there are players pretty much anywhere in Tyria. There will almost always be someone by your side at an event or there to get you back up on your feet.

Finding a guild helps, I joined EVOS who runs Triple Trouble each day after reset around Midnight EST. They are a great group and helps when you want to find people to do content. Also simply posting in LFG is shockingly effective. Its really one of those “build it and they will come” type of deals. The community (in my experience after playing for a few years now) is that many people are willing to group up, just not everyone is willing to START the group.

Also, I have found lots of repeatable fun in different map metas that very organically allow you to group up with people. Besides that, if youre feeling solo play, there are tons of great collections to work on that have genuinely worthwhile rewards (herta, princess, Ley matter converter, griffon, ascended banners backpack from PoF, etc.).

It is very easy to find a guild. Just talk alot in the open chat in any mayor city or ask on starter zones. I am sure you can find alot of people to play with.

My friends can’t handle no vertical progression for some reason unfortunately. But this game was recommended to me by a friend that played it occasionally before path of fire and I play it since

A friend tried to get me into gw2. I played for a while and my general sentiment was that there was a lot of stuff I could do, but no reason to do any of them. I don’t remember much about the game, only that I described it like that to him.

I mean that’s pretty much every MMO nowadays.

The only reason you should have to play a game is to be entertained. Everything else is second.
