Would be nice if they can make a good mmo. Feels like the genre has died off.

I was thinking about this other day. I genuinely think it’s because of how we interact with the genre that has largely killed it. Everything is min maxed to no end and almost everything is essentially a chore to meet that goal. The genre use to be fun to just play around in and be social but it has really lost its touch. I’d be so happy to see a revitalization in the space.

I mean, gw2 kinda sounds like what you want? Like it’s pretty chill, no need to continuously grind, hit max level and that’s it. Anything new added is account progression, and even then most of it isn’t important outside of that expansion’s story or to get better rewards from the maps for that expac or etc, save for a few masteries needed for a few specific raid encounters, and some that get double introduced (like mounts that are introduced in one expac and featured heavily in another) give a bonus if you have both which is cool but not necessary. Like 14 years of content so there is plenty to do, and today they said they’re commited to 15 more years, and while they’re pausing the next expansion for gw3 to get released, they are going back to base game to fix up a lot of stuff to make it better (and even adding physics based rendering)

It’s a game I can stop playing for months, come back and keep enjoying without needing to learn something new (unless a balance patch really fucked you up) or unlock new stuff or get new gear just to be able to play.

Plus WvW (bigass siege style PvP) is a pretty cool game mode and they’re developing a new map for that finally which can be a pretty chill PvP mode.

I guess my point is also why I am stoked for GW3, Anet has learned a lot and I don’t think I could be bothered to play an MMO not made by them at this point.
