    I want to like GW2 and I've tried. It just doesn't seem to click with me.

    I loved GW2 at launch. The expansions ruined it for me.

    I thought it was OK for a few levels doing the open quests but that dies down pretty fast

    I played for years but all the platforming and confusing maps got old after a while.

    Yeah I don't know if it's still the same but the horizontal progression of end game is just really unrewarding for me. As a casual player I thought it would be my perfect game. Don't have to grind constantly and still stay relevant. What happened instead was I got to end game and realized I was as powerful as I was ever going to be no matter what I did, and asked myself what was the point? I couldn't find a motivating answer so I quit. Haven't been back.

    Bring on D4! Vertical progression FTW!

    Not sure I'd actually characterize GW2 as having that much in the way of horizontal progression. You have minor progression for tuning your gear and you have class spec unlocks, but that's still vertical progression unlocking largely linear tracks of ability. Even leveling your mounts and otherwise is pretty linear/vertical in progression.

    It's actually a case that they could/should have looked to their first title and the way they had skill collecting that you could do from boss mobs  along with all the class combos that you could swap around and level, that would have extended horizontal progression to offer more incentive to play.
