I feel
Blizzard has trivialized everything that one day was the subject of awe and
prestige. A lvl 60 character meant a lot of investment in Guild Wars 2 gold and
dedication, today you have people with an army of lvl 90 alts. Getting a mount
was a painful process, and most of the time you needed help from your friends or
small loans here and there to obtain one. And seen a player passing by on a
mount was a sign of respect.
Today, mounts are taken for granted. No effort at all in getting a functional and pretty cheap mount that works exactly the same as a hard-earned raid mounts which costs a lot of GW2 gold. Epic gear? That was something only for raiding players, or at least with some degree of dedication and effort. Today, purple is the new blue. And so on and so on. Do I miss anything of this? No, I like to dedicate my time in playing and having fun, not in a repetitive chore to get petty epeen achievements. I like the balance between time spent / effort / reward that the game has to day, and I hope it just keeps improving.
I miss that grand feeling of adventure and actual accomplishment that I do not feel is a part of the leveling experience anymore. I disliked having to travel back and forth to the capitol cities to learn a new spell rank or some Guild Wars 2 gold, but I liked that excitement of going to the class trainer and discovering that I got to learn something entirely new! It made me feel as though I had actually accomplished something, ya know?
Now I was experienced enough and had earned the right to learn this new secret of the Light. I like the in game assistance with questing for GW2 gold now, I hated having to Alt-Tab to go to thottbot, but I also enjoyed seeing the entire progression of a zone before moving on. Now I have to breeze through the last 2/3 - 1/2 of a zone because I've leveled to quickly, and that's without using heirlooms or LFD. I'm not gaining any experience and I'm just filling up my bags with trash because I want to know the culmination of my work in the zone. We've come a long way, and made many advances to an enjoyable end-game, I just miss the leveling aspect.
