Guild Wars 2

45 min up from the old 15. Well Cursed shore is dead on my server and I play on a full pop..I mean..why? With so many things wrong with this game did you have to actually change something everyone enjoyed?

No one has a comment or any idea on how they could tweak this? This was one of the easiest karma grinds and probably the most popular.

Anet want to spread player , their solution is not to give more things or to balance stuff up to plinx level so we can get more options.

Was to debuff plinx to the ground till it is forgotten. To me , the reasons to leave LA are getting lower and lower.

And it comes way too late , should have been nerfed way long ago .

they want to make sure you spend a decade trying to get full ascended gear and a legendary weapon. They fear people wouldn’t otherwise play their game for much longer.

Everyone enjoyed farming plinx? More like everyone did it because it was the most efficient thing to farm.

I’ve got roughly 250k karma left on my legendary. That’s gonna take about the same amount of time it took to farm all the mats, gold and karma all put together. Probably even longer.

Yeah I’m complaining and nobody likes a whiner but what was the point in this nerf? Gold farmers were farming other areas. Real players were grinding this thing because it was the most efficient and time saving way. Does that make it wrong? Just because everyone does it doesn’t mean it needs to be nerf and find a new way to keep the game fresh..sigh

How can u complain about getting karma , when every kitten thing gives karma now ? like rly ? monthly is like 65k karma alone , not to mention dailies , dungeons …

This actually tends to be a really good indicator that something needs to change. Either a nerf to the thing everyone is doing or a buff to other things to make them more competitive. Now, I do tend to like option b over a but they aren’t mutually exclusive either. They may be buffing other areas in the future.

I’m personally about the quit Guild Wars 2 over the ascended gear problem ~ personally spent the best part of an hour in LA trying to get a group to do fractals at my level -

So, this is a suggestion forum, so what is your suggestion? Reduce cd on Plinx chain? Make more regions with events at same time? Stop whining (as you already said, nobody likes one) and make an actual suggestion.
Besides this, I play for a month, brought a ±100k karma rare equipment and then accumulated another ±100k… So, find another event chain (like the Gates of Arah one), go enjoy a zerg in WvW. They did not killed Cursed, people grinding only at this event kills Cursed Shore as nobody goes take a Cathedral stating “I must do Plinx to farm <put your farmed resource here>”.

My actual suggestion on the topic is that events rewarding should scale with how much time (considering an event that do not start because it’s predecessor in the event chain isn’t often completed) and/or tries since last successful end. That should include monsters spawned by this event to give better drop chances. That way people would go for different event chains and regions. Since grinding is discouraged but some recipes needs hard to find materials, this approach would give more dynamic to end game.

I have a suggestion , how about half of this community stops whining over everything ? That would actually help !

There’s your answer as to why they nerfed it. If people are just hanging around / running between Pertinent Path and Plinx, then there’s obviously something wrong with it. Increasing the cool-down encourages people to go further out.

Although personally, I really can’t understand the mentality of wanting to do the same events over and over, simply because it’s most efficient.
