No.
- Gameplay doesn't change past level 30 due to a boring combat system
- PvP is imbalanced, dumbed down, and unfun
- Boring quests
- No endgame
- No socialization
- Bad bosses, both dungeon and open world ones
- One of the worst stories I've seen in a long time
- Itemization sucks
- PvP level scaling is laughably stupid
- PvE is retarded easy and messy

Me and every friend of mine that played (including the majority of their friends) have all quit. There's absolutely no motive to keep playing which makes the game incredibly boring. The game literally never changed from level 1-80.

Have you even played the game? Or are you possibly just one of those people who has to try and find every minute issue with a game, thus attempting to ruin it for every other interested, avid gamer. You are probably just mad because you got destroyed by the moa's when you were only level 3.
@DonkeypunchxTP Don't listen to this guy, he has no taste in good rpg's. The game also has no subscription fee and they release constant updates, keeping the game fun for all with updated quests, new items, bug fixes(little to no bugs in this game as of now), personalized storyline based on your race, class, and personal choices. Literally thousands of different storylines. Buy the game and stop hesitating. I'll even help you get started if you want. Just send me a private message WHEN you decide to buy gw2.

I'm not forcing this kid to listen to my opinions. I'm just stating why I wouldn't recommend it based on my experience with it. Not everyone will have the same opinions.

"good rpg's"
GW2 is fine as an MMO but it is far away from being a "good" rpg.
BabyMonitor wrote The game also has no subscription fee

No sub fee doesn't mean anything with a playerbase that has been depleting like crazy. It's dying faster then GW1 did. It's not an MMO without people.
BabyMonitor wrote keeping the game fun for all with updated quests,

"updated quests" So what, 30 more Kill X amount of Y, collect A amount of B quests?
BabyMonitor wrote personalized storyline based on your race, class, and personal choices. Literally thousands of different storylines.

"personalized storyline"
Not really. Every hero is a good guy because he's good. Every villain is a bad guy because he's bad. Or he's a dragon. Or a dragon's mindless mook. NPCs take credit for everything you do. You didn't feel like the hero so much as the hero's companion. It wasn't truly your personal story. Your 'personal choices' mattered even less than they did in SWTOR. WoW has more heroes and villains with more depth, which isn't good because WoW's characters are not very complex either.


All that aside, if you have fun with the game, then don't let me bring you down man. Like I said in the top, everyone has different opinions about things.
