    Log in, afk in front of the fc house and log out again

    How many of you can relate to the title? Because that's what most of my time in this game is currently looking like. A new patch drops, so i get excited!... Only to fall back into the same old position right in front of the fc house 30 minutes later after i ran out of stuff to do til the next raid night. A cool shiny sword but nothing to use it on, that i bought with an already capped currency. (Not that it's worth using as the tome weapon is better anyways) And a new dungeon that i completed in 10 minutes. That's the patch.

    This game is lacking in character progression and meaningful content besides savage and weekly tomes. There's just so little of substance to do on the side besides social interactions - which i don't think warrants a monthly subscription as i can do this for free on other platforms. I *want* to have stuff to dig my teeth into - a reason to log back in for inbetween raid nights. But there's just nothing to do. Frankly, i'm starting to consider going back to WoW..

    Sure and then what once you're done with the tools ? Oh nothing ? Thought so

    Try out Lost Ark, it's pretty fun. Just make sure to quit once you've tried out a legion raid or two and hit a honing wall.

    I'm glad that doing a quest for your new tool is engaging enough for you to warrant a subscription fee.

    Whatever else is in the patch notes if I feel like it.

    Yes because clearly that’s all I’m doing. Please.

    Can't say as I do relate, honestly.

    I spent the majority of yesterday after work farming for the items from the new Variant dungeon, still need to hop in to swipe a few more items. Today I'm going to work through BLU and collecting the new spells, and making a start on the brilliant tools after I clear up my inventory.

    Across the next day after that I'll continue working on the brilliant tools, probably finishing them, and then work through the other relic weapons, probably through Palace of the Dead to begin with so I can finish getting the remaining Padjali weapons, before going back to hunt trains for the rest - I'd have liked a one-time only step which isn't just the completion of Hildibrand quests. I'll be running through the fishing log during this as well.

    For me, that's worth the subscription cost, and doesn't have me AFK at my house or FC house within 30 minutes of the patch.

    What i don't get ist this. Why do you still pay a sub then? Unsub and resub when you think therre's enough content again.

    I'm glad that appeals to you, but none of that sounds remotely interesting to me. I have already collected the glams that i like and it was kind of boring to grind them anyways. I levelled a crafter and gatherer and i found neither particularly engaging.. At all.. And blue mage content is just stupid.

    I don't mean this in a condescending way, but it's not really my (or anyone else outside of SE) job to try and "sell" the game to you. If you don't feel it's worth your sub, take a break and absolutely DO try other games. IF you find that break getting longer and longer...consider unsubbing.

    Rather, I'd say it's unhealthy to expect this game to provide your entire gaming wants/needs. You should be checking out WoW/Diablo/Whatever might seem appealing.


    I'm 50/50, but leaning towards playing 7.0 when it releases, and unsub about a month or two into it. Right before 8.0 releases I'll resub and do all the 7.x content.

    In the meantime, I've been away from Guildwars for a while! They're releasing a new expansion pack, and I haven't done the LAST expansion they released! Gonna jump on that when they offer a big discount.
    I'm also looking forward to Starfield...but I'll probably wait like 6 months into its release...after all it's guaranteed to be a Bethesda-Bug-Ridden mess.
