This is a bit of a long “speech” so if you don’t like reading stop at the period. Endgame? That question came to my mind awhile ago, I honestly didn’t want to grind for legendary stuff or ascended. But a couple weeks ago I started playing again, and I realized something, if any of you remember, ArenaNet posted an article about a woman named Kelly and her dog Anna.

I was thinking about this for awhile, and it hit me that ArenaNet never made the game with an endgame in the first place, so what is it they wanted us to do at level 80? Adventure! Yes, there’s map completion, but that’s just completing the map and events, there are countless unmarked areas in a lot of the maps, we have side-kick leveling so that it’s still a challenge adventuring in lower level zones. Whats the point I’m getting at? Explore, if you think you have nothing to do, look for something you’ve never seen before, I doubt anyone that plays GW2 including myself remembers everything they’ve seen ingame, or even gone to something that looks interesting and just took a closer look at it. There’s a countless amount of things to do in the game at all levels, you just have to go and find them, and I think the typical MMORPG’s nowadays have taken that away from us to the point that no MMORPG (except GW2) is really about the adventure and the wonder now. Just the other day I was in the water under a waterfall and it wasn’t marked on the map, but there was a cave in there, it was small, but it was awesome. Yes, there’s a lot we do need in the game, but everything will come with time, in that time go on an adventure!
