Play your own way...
I…actually did not know that. Can I get a source on it? I run a damage-heavy build, so I’ve never had problems, but that may—really, really may—go a long way toward explaining loot complaints cropping up all over the forums.
Is there really something against partying? You can leave if you wish. Are you afraid people will look at your portrait and call your character ugly?
It’s part of running shelt/pen and due to the popularity, you need to party up to get loot.
You are not forced to run it. Arenanet is not forcing you to do content. But you choose to do it and unfortunately for you, there are requisites that need to be met to take advantage of it fully.
It’s like trying to do a dungeon and then you’re complaining that you’re forced to do it in a group. No one is forcing you.

If that’s true then Anet forgets to mention it when they say GW2 does not require party.
“You don’t need to team up – as long as you don’t mind getting no loot” doesn’t sound quite right for a game that revolves around loot.
Yeah, these events are zerg fests most of the time…. if you rock up to one people will just invite you to group – just group up for the event then say goodbye and leave the group.
Half the time it’s impossible to hit the mobs. Playing in Australia and dealing with laaaag, some of the mobs are dead before they have even rendered. I have to set up attacks prior to the mobs spawning and hope i hit them.
Btw, don’t know what A-net did in the last patch, but the rendering bug is so much worse… it now drastically affects PvE (mobs & NPCs) whereas before it was just in WvW.
When you kill the risen chickens in CS and then the risen maggots spawn i’m nearly dead before i even see the maggots and the fields of AE poison i’m standing in.

In the say channel simply type “LFG”. You will get a group very quickly. There is no responsibility tied to that group Leave when you want, do what you want. Is that so hard?
I’m not truly convinced of the need for a group to get drops, but since its so easy you might as well join a group when farming.
