How determined are you to become a renowned player in GW2?
In most of the MMO's I've played, there is always a player who stands out from everyone else, whether it's accomplishing world first, server first, and even being known to have wealth.
For everyone who has played GW for a lengthy duration and are active on the forums would probably know what I'm talking about. You know, those people who would offer hundreds and thousands of "Glob of Ectoplasm" for one item? Maybe the guy who runs around the town with a "God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals" title, or maybe even the guy wearing Fissure of Woe Armor with Chaos Gloves (most expensive armor set in GW). You know, those guys, the ones who if you saw their name you'd instantly recognize them even if you don't know what they accomplished. It could be a focus of PvE and PvP, there are many ways to gain attention and fame.
One of the problems I had with wanting to be one of these significant people in other MMOs is that the game is aged and I would normally have to really grind/quest my way up to catch up to where they are. The fact that GW2 is going to launch as a new game means that it'll give everyone an equal opportunity to show their dedication and commitment to the game, and players who want to go all out to be world first and so on, can do so.
For me, being a major GW fan, I do plan to play the game as much as I can while balancing work and school. I really do miss the feeling of waking up and having that urge to progress in the game not because I have to, but because it's fun doing so. As far as being one of the top players in the game, I want to stand out from everyone else (no offense lol) and it'll be one of my main goals. How am I going to do that? We'll see
