I've been playing #GW2 in my downtime from FFXIV and I've found that I actually enjoy leveling the new character I made more than I enjoy playing my Level 80.

I feel ... very lost on my 80, like I'm painfully behind the times. Maps feel hard to clear because I don't have the right mount or the right Masteries to interact with certain elements.
I can see why people find it hard to get back into after a while.

@casualcatte Guild Wars 2 is difficult at endgame without a guild. I'm in two guilds, but there is some content I'm not sure I'll ever finish because there aren't enough interested people.
Unless you use event timers and follow the zerg or get lucky with LFG.
I still enjoy playing. I have eleven alts I think so I have choices. I've put in about 200 hours this year after taking about two years off.
I only play two MMORPGs: Guild Wars 2 and Star Trek Online.

I've come to realize that I enjoy the leveling / progression part of MMO gaming, but I don't like the late-stage end-game grindfests for iLevel, gearscore, reputation, whatever-else-have-yous. XD
None of those activities really feed into the part of me that enjoys progressing my character, even though getting up your gearscore /is/ some kind of progression. It feels less tangible to me, whereas getting the next Level or Talent Point or clearing a map feels much more rewarding.

@casualcatte I play for the story. Leveling up gives you that. Grinding does not.
I'm currently trying to get 100% of every map with one of my alts. I fear I will never get some parts of Heart of Thorns. I'd rather do that, which gets me no in-game rewards, than grind.

Same! That's why I made a new character when I returned. It's been a long time since I last played, so I gotta catch up on all the story. So, I just decided to re-clear maps, reacquaint myself with Tyria and enjoy the experience rather than rush headlong to 80 to play current things.
