ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/actions such as: cooking, mining ,fishing, etc

the problem with that is... ITS TOO MUCH LIKE RUNESCAPE!!! i bought and play guild wars because im cheap and love MMORPG's... there are only 2 that i know of that are free (with the exception of buying the disk), Guild Wars and Runescape... most of the people on guild wars that i have meet say they hate runescape and making guild wars more like runescape would mean that they would probably begin to hate guild wars --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:216.96.39.242 (talk).

First of all, I don't play other MMORPG, so i don't know who does what, but My first impression of this idea is What? why whould i want to go fishing in Guild Wars? or mining or anything that is UNHERO-LIKE? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Pumpkin pie (talk).


 * I see nothing wrong with it, I enjoy elements such as this personally - hunting, cooking stuff to be used as items for healing/etc. Mining for materials to make your own stuff - like weapons or armor.  Fishing was something I did a lot of in WoW, would just sit around talking with people as I do it, or giving away the end product to help people out.  Such things don't have to be a main feature but depth to what you can do beyond hacking and slashing through the game-world or grinding for titles.   Making something with your (character's) own two hands is hero-like.  Making your own sword and shield, a bow etc and so on, custom made with items from all over the in-game world.  I do it now in Guild Wars, find a skin I like for a weapon and build it up, even if there's a green of the same kind.  It all adds to give your character some... eh, character depth and all.
