I need some fresh takes or sharing positives about your GW2 experience! 
For the first time in 12 years of playing GW2, I am feeling uninspired and somewhat sad about the game. 

Venting for the next paragraph! I’m about to vent and be a shit,  so skip to the end if you don’t want to hear me bitch lol.

A part of my struggle to keep interest in it, is the quality of the content lately is making it clear GW2 isn’t being invested in as it used to, and it’s making me prematurely grieve bc it feels like they are just struggling to thrash out updates to keep some revenue going, at the cost of the standard they have built for themselves over 10+yrs in storytelling, mmo innovation and content quality. I get that it’s smaller updates but small doesn’t mean poor storytelling, development and a lack of quality control. It feels like they are adhering to an unsustainable content release schedule with most of their resources going to another project, and it’s killing the game for me. The last two, SotO and Janthir, the first chapters released were great! but everything after was sloppy, unfinished and disappointing. I feel about it the way I feel about a good TV series that should’ve ended before the next seasons ruined the overall quality of the show in favor of profit. 
In a lot of ways, if the last two mini expansions is what to expect going forward, I’d rather gw2 just stopped developing it, go out with a bang,  and leave things on a high note, and commit to whatever Anet is cooking up next, instead of …. Whatever these updates are and on top of the weird WoW-esque changes they’ve been making to WvW. I also have a book that came with the original launch of GW2, and reading what the OG devs wanted for the game, it’s pve and competitive content- what it is now as of the last few years, has kind of abandoned that goal? Idk, I love this game and have found nothing else that comes close to what GW2 is for me after all this time, so I’d like to stick with it if I can, by adjusting my attitude and expectations.

I love the world, the gameplay, the content, the art, the music, the STORY of GW2, which has kept me engaged and invested for so many years, but yeah. It’s lost a lot of its heart recently for me and I’ve been feeling really bummed about it.

So I’d like to change that, and hear what everyone else likes about it? 
or what keeps them engaged! for such an iconic and long running game ♥️
