Hello! I know that this post is going to seem a bit random, but I’m making this post on behalf of my brother.
My younger brother recently told me that he feels a lack of hope for the future because of a variety of things. While I won’t get into the specifics of them since that isn’t relevant for this post, I realized that a good chunk of the reason why he feels this way is because he lacks a solid friend group to do things with. 2020 really messed things up for him socially, and he’s been rather aimless with making friends since. I think by making friends and hearing things from them, he’d have a better chance at finding that sense of hope he needs in his life to keep moving forward.
I believe having access to an MMO where my brother can connect with people and forge bonds with them will help him feel better about himself in the long run. And while I know I could hypothetically ask this about any MMO, like FFXIV for example, I think GW2 might be the best fit for him out of all the decently big MMOs since it’s free on Steam. Money is tight for him, and from the 10-ish hours I’ve played of it so far (Norn Ranger feels so fun to play), I think he’d be a fan of the gameplay as well. But before I recommend it to him, I wanted to get your guys’ thoughts on it first.
Would GW2 be a good fit for my brother to help him make friends and find hope in his life? How easy would it be for him to find a group of people he can get along with? Would the community be willing to help him play the game and get invested in it? I know that this is a bit of an odd post, but I wanted to try and help him out in some form. He is my brother, after all.
Mods, I apologize if this post is weird, or if the tag is incorrectly used. I read the subreddit’s rule before writing this, but if I did something incorrectly, please let me know so that I may fix it. Thank you.
