Now i believe i’m in the minority here but i will carry on.

Thank you Arena Net you have given us an amazing game, it is packed to the brim with content and i can’t see where these people are coming from when they moan “There is no content to do at 80” blah blah blah.

It is sad to see that the middle level zones are dead. I’ve just tried to rally support in Malchor’s Leap to do the Pact Troops, Move Out! meta event. Unfortunately i was told to not bother even asking because all people do nowadays is grind out the low level world bosses for the easy rares and temples for much the same reason.

I love events for the story and people don’t appreciate that any more all they want is RARE ITEM NAOW. (i’m assuming these are mainstream MMO players rather than us GW1 veterans who are used to rewards and gear as purely cosmetic and if you get a nice skin that’s your reward)

I am sure you have numerous things swirling around on how to increase population across the zones. An idea i came up with is to put the equivalent to a guaranteed rare chest like from the temple events to the end of meta event chains and do something like Zaishen quests from GW1. but instead of having a single quest for every player on the game have a selection of 5 meta event chains to be randomly given to players. So i might get the Southern Invasion of Orr as a quest and a guildie might get Assault on Svanir’s Dome. An adequate reward for these quests could be a laurel and a random gem store item. In terms of Meta event completion chests a random gem store item and a guaranteed rare.

Though if you were to implement things like these we would need event scaling sorted out properly. Bosses need to be more difficult. At the moment 50 people are zerging down these giant terrifying world bosses in just over a minute.

So once again thank you for an amazing game and i’m sure you have some plans in place to solve this issue but i hope you read my suggestion

Oh also i forgot to mention…Don’t ever give in to these people who whine about oh this is too hard and that is too hard.

Guild Wars 2 is a breath of fresh air in the genre because it is so difficult. It’s challenging but it’s fun. Though as i said above you need to sort out the scaling to make sure events can wipe a 50 man zerg attempting to try and defeat it.

I really miss doing DEs in Cursed Shore and Malchors.. Sadly the timers have been nerfed and event trash has been buffed. CS is nearly a ghost town on my server. What server are you on that has people doing DEs. Most of my guild are just doing dungeons/fractals/wvw.
