    I tried to get into it but I’m a Vanilla and TBC WoW simp and I couldn’t adjust to the fact that GW2 is different than WoW.

    It’s a great game but it just didn’t work for me.

      I like WoW, and I like GW2, and I especially like that GW2 is different from WoW.

      I really hope you’ve been enjoying WoW classic! I personally didn’t have the patience to go back through everything in vanilla and TBC for a second time, but the nostalgia hit me hard. I won’t knock modern WoW, but something about playing during the TBC/WotLK era just hit different.

      Anyway, GW2 is my jam now, but I’m glad that we have both.

      I played WoW for sixteen years. Finally had enough of the subscription grind, the associated FOMO, and the constant resetting of all gear progression with each expansion. Took a year off of MMOs and then picked up GW2.

      BTW, GW2 doesn’t have weekly downtime like WoW does.

        The gear and stat reset in elder scrolls online made me quit that game. I struggled to figure my best set up and then to have it reset was just too much. I did not know WoW did that. I was considering picking it back up but definitely not.

          Every time there’s an expansion in WoW, everything you did prior to it, is mostly obsolete…

        @what_was_not_said @SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE WoW will always have a special place in my memory but that’s where it stays. I bought the latest expansion and barely put anytime in. I’m not even max level. I don’t have the time committed to it any longer though GW2 gets addictive I at least know I don’t need to grind unless it’s something I want to do… Like legendaries
