Oh sorry my mistake, I was under the impression that several MMO's came out in 2012, not least of which being Mists of Pandaria, and The Secret World, + quite a few more.
He's back! Slow day latex?
Yeah to be fair, but still a true comment.
Hardly trolling, look at this thread and others around the internet, lots of servers are loosing players and there becoming very quiet. I bet you within 6 months they'll have server merges and be down to probably 1-3 big servers
Problem with gaming review websites is the fact that they are paid to "fluff" there reviews. While the game is OK, I'd hardly call it a "Masterpiece". It has failed to provide content at the end of levelling that keeps new MMO players and old MMO players entertained. While it might be enough for die hard GW1 fans, for the new player base they are trying to attract it hasn't done so.
A good example of this is that horribly ran Immortals guild, apparently they had like 300 members at one point and they are now down to like 10+ members active. Doesn't help that the guild leader was apparently kicking loads of people for not donating to their personal fund to be a PvP leader thing in RvR and apparently they kicked a member because they got it before them.
I remember guilds from WoW and players from all over MMO's that i game with telling me i'm quitting xyz for GW2 and in the end they have ALL left.
So is it a good game, yes, but is it a Masterpiece of a MMO, far far far from it.
But alas, opinion is like taking a dump, everyone has to do it.

I'm amazed at how quickly the playerbase and long-term playability of this game has dwindled so quickly! I thought the first GW died off fairly early, but this has taken a fraction of the time...
Perhaps as a playerbase, we are going through content faster and getting bored easier?

Because there is absolutely nothing to do longterm, there's no endgame at all, I found no interesting titles to hunt, rare gear to hunt, points to collect e.t.c. there was just nothing to work towards and I got bored quickly as a result.
WvW was crying out for some kind of realm points system a la DAOC.

So exactly the same as every other mmo out there then? I love how people bias their view based on what game they want to champion
It's all down to personal views and what game you prefer. I still love it I find the DE system endlessly fun compared to other mmo quest models but again, this is personal opinion.
One thing though, the servers are in no way dead. I'm still playing across various level zones on alts and I never have had less than over a dozen players. Comparing this with wow (the last mmo I played) you were talking 3-4 max and none of those would talk to each other as there is no incentive to do so due to the quest system. This is a surprisingly active and social mmo which I suppose is one thing I have liked.
Busier zones with the more popular DE's are always packed.
But as we all say, it's just my opinion
This. I love Guild Wars 2, it's a very fun game. But I found it hard to see it as anything more than an awesome RPG experience that happened to have a few other people running around along the way. From release it took me about a week to hit top level and then a week to fill out my character in full exotics... then I spent a week struggling to find what I was meant to do at that point and that was the last I played it.
The PVP wasn't bad, but it wasn't something I was prepared to spend months/years playing. WvW was something I looked forward to a lot, but it wasn't implemented hugely well, had some terrible problems and Planetside 2 came out within a few weeks of release and satisfied the need for mass scale PvP much better. PvE, I loved the zones, I loved the questing, didn't see much point in the dungeons. Which is probably what ultimately killed the game for me, the dungeons could have been something that kept me playing, but all they seemed to be was quite buggy and there to facilitate nothing more than a very tedious grind for gear. Had they fleshed those out a bit more with more purpose and made it so within a week I couldn't just earn enough to buy the best set of gear off the AH I think I could definitely still be there now grinding for that last 1-2 items.

Wow is it really that bad already? I sort of knew people would get bored and go back to WoW but not this early. I think it might end up like all the other MMO's that have gone F2P, a handful of players on a couple of servers and then eventual death.
I was having fun in WvW but with all the exploits everyone was using to win and the night capping I just decided to not bother logging back in.
That was over 2 months ago, strangely I put the authenticator on my account and for some reason I would no longer need to use the code to log in?

I don't think it will die, not for a while anyway.
Most of the ex Wow players have already gone back to wow but the rest, doesn't matter how casual, will probably be playing this type of mmo for a good while.
I'm looking forward to what they add in the content patches of January and February.

Seems like there's a lot of people mentioning the end game, or rather a lack of. Will they address that? Seems like a pretty big issue. :/
Associate
it's the same as every other mmo.. get to max level and see everything and what's the point in carrying on pve?
end game is WvWvW, sPVP, item grinding, making alts, helping friends etc.
plus there's still stuff being worked on, like polymock, if you go to rata sum there's a portal being made to take you to the polymock arena, no idea when it will be ready though. then look at lions arch there's an area in there with 6 unused asura gates, they have got plans for stuff and i guess guild halls will make a return one day.
aah LateX'Dog don't you ever get tiered of speaking the same load of crap day in day out. You and your little band so sad, you know it would not be so bad if for once you got at least something right.
