Guild Wars 2

Kinda like in Rift where if there was an event going on in one area, and there was a bunch of people there, a button would pop up in the middle of the screen asking if you wanted to join the public group. This would be useful for those mega bosses that can pop up, and can help balancing issues by limiting zerging and making the experience much more fun.

Being in a group or not doesn’t affect anything in-game except putting a marker on your mini-map, which if you’re all at an event isn’t particularly helpful.

How do you see this limiting zerging or making things more fun? I’m not sure if the suggestion is to make it easier to group, or to limit rewards for events to groups of a limited size.

Limiting zerging so that the encounters are more about skill than mobbing it with as many players as possible. This also helps with fps, lag, and balancing so that you have more of a challenge. Also to make grouping much easier since the game has no “looking for dungeon/etc” option.

Rift public groups were a step in the right direction but far from the desired feature.
Gw2 style is much better, just show up and participate, so NO, I don’t think adding this makes any sense at all, except if you want raiding which is also a NO thank you !
