guild wars 2's story is largely a middling rpg plot, like 5/10 and 7/10s across the board, it doesn't do anything too special or deep but it has decently engaging characters and the accompanying world design makes it fun to play and see what happens next. and then occasionally it spends a grand total of 2 seconds focusing on something so fascinating and so engaging it knocks my socks off. and then it never touches on that topic again. and this is how it has single-handedly made me lose my marbles

Next expansion, we send the humans back.

Goodbye, aliens.

And happy Dragon Bash. (:

Controversial opinions on the nature of Guild Wars 2 below, ye have been warned:

I have been cooking a theory that a lot of the problems the tumblr portion of the GW2 fandom has with the game rn is based off the way the fandom thinks of this game as a story-focused game when it is very much not. It is an MMO.

Has the story, especially the after-expansion patches, been a bit lacking storywise? Yop. Not arguing that. My hot take is that this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the overall health of the game, and that they SHOULD NOT be focusing entirely on story like they did in LS4.

This is an MMO. It lives off microtransactions, people buying gold, and sinking ungodly hours into it. The story is a vehicle to get people into the new maps, new metas, new legendaries, new builds and whatnot. It introduces a new area, characters, and enemies to kill for hours upon hours after. It is not the main selling point of an expansion for most people who are not on tumblr too much - which means, most of the playerbase.

There are so many people who don't give a shit about the story but love the game. Those people are getting stuff - a new raid wing. New Fractals on a regular schedule. More maps. More metas. New mechanics and masteries. (Small) updates to PvP and WvW. Lots of new gemstore stuff, new legendaries to grind. All of these things, in my opinion, are much more critical to the long-term health of the game than the story will ever be.

So yeah, for us who love story, it kinda sucks that it's been on a bit of a downturn. I'd argue that it's getting BETTER, as Janthir was better than SotO for me, but it's not up to RPG quality, and it probably never will be! THAT'S OKAY.

So yeah, it's fine to complain about it but I think it's shortsighted and a little ridiculous to claim that the game is dying because a few story patches were a little weak, and we should try to remember that we are far from the only people playing this game and there are other aspects of it to be considered.

Also everyone saying they're never buying an expansion again is totally going to pre-order the next one once they watch the first cool trailer, fight me.
