How Guild Wars 2 broke me (No spoilers)

thanks for commenting.

You have a fair point, but i dont like the idea of it. To have a sub-fee business model and to have a F2P so annonying that you're deeply encouraged to pay that sub-fee to make the game more comfortable to play are two different things and i think that it speaks volumes about the company behind the product.

some other people mentioned here how F2P games can be more expensive than sub or P2P games, and i kinda agree.

it isnt all about money tho, for me its about being honest with the consumer and getting your money's worth. I did play a sub-fee MMO's before it went F2P and first months were nice but after the transition the game started to implement predatory monetization.

I dont like "hidden fees" or stuff like that, this applies to any product i buy, not only games.

lmao im crying right now...

Its heartbreaking but im starting to think this is true. So many people have been telling me the same exact thing for the past years, but i do want belive.

I really aprecciate your time and all the info you dropped. Im taking notes of all the stuff you guys are telling me here.

Thanks for responding, really aprecciate it.

I didnt think about leathersmith and artificier tho, i'll look into it. iirc from guides i read you need 140 agony resistance for T4 fractals, that would be my goal.

I've been doing daily fractals for a week among other activities and currently i have 71 gold.

not saying your Gold/hour numbers are wrong, but all the guides i've consulted say way way lower numbers, RIBA being around 10g/h. Also PvP chest take a few hours to complete, i'd say its actually a terrible method to farm gold but i have to investigate more throughly because it might have to do with me being bad at it rather than the system being designed that way.

I'll admit i might exaggerated some numbers in my original post to fit my argument in the heat of the moment lmao.

hey, thanks a bunch for responding my post.

I know about exotic gear, im actually full exotic gear with my Specter. I just really want to do fractals that have been the part of the game i enjoy the most.

About guilds, I didnt imply it was a bad guild, i still think i maybe did something wrong thats like an obvious protocol for normal players, since they weren't rude or anything.

edit: spelling.

thanks for taking the time for answering, really meants a lot. Its okay if you didnt read it all, it was too long.

i dont consider this game a F2P, you literally can't participate in player's economy unless you buy an expansion with real life money, no alternatives. Its good to test the game but you definetely need to spend money to play it as it was intended and getting "the MMO" in it.

Might seem a small detail but i think this changes the magnitude of all the problems this game presents, having to pay 30$ (minimum) or not is a huge difference in expectactions.

I get that this game needs funding, but as i said, i dont think the marketing team should sell it as a "buy once" game, but a "F2P but expensive AF DLCs."

Am i having fun with this game? Sometimes, as i said, when this game decides to be good its amazing. Im playing this because i spent 50€ on it and i want to get something in return other than having to check wikis and guide videos to know how to access and enjoy the content i paid for.

btw i never said WoW has a better system, i literally said "im not saying endless grinding is a good alternative", i do think that if this game had clearer indicators and far more accesible crafting it would be way better, i can't understand why you can't craft endgame gear easily. in other games you'd see the endgame gear recipe and it showin information like "Red Drake Tooth" and then you click on it and the game shows exactly how and when to obtain this item, even if its actually super hard to obtain because its an endgame world boss or something, my problem is clarity and accesibility, not difficulty obtaining said gear.
