Guild Wars 2

I think guesting needs to be fix’d abit, by changeing it so guesters cant obtain chests from dragon boss’es we all know most guesters are those exploiting the guesting system by useing it to spam bosses, and getting massive amounts of loot as a result, I think useing that expolit is really unfair to players who are accually ON that server to begin with,

My second alternative is that if a dragon event is up guesters are kicked until the event is over for those who are native to that world, that way the people who accually play on that world, can accually play on that world without being kicked into overflow, I enjoy the dragon fights, but now its to hard to event get into one without spending an hour befor the time window waiting around for it to arrive.

You have no proof that most guests are exploiters, let alone that guesting is the reason for the problem in the first place.

The problem didn’t exist when guesting was implemented…. so it is something else that caused the problem. More then likely, it is everyone and their dog on your server is going to these places because the loot has been changed in the last patch, and you will still need to show up 1 hour before in order to get in and not be kicked to the overflow.

At the moment, I hate guesters and wish they’d die in a fire. Because of guesters, I now spend most dragon events sitting in an overflow with my thumb up my kitten

It looks like guesting is the new botting. It’s far easier, far more profitable, and won’t get your account banned. Win win, unless you’re a poor schmuck like me who just wants to do dragon events on his own server.

Anet, if you don’t want to fix guesting at dragon events, then change guesting so that there is a dedicated guest server where anyone who wants to play with a friend can all go to the same server and leave ours alone.

Thank you.

again you are assuming that it is guesting that is causing your problem. Guests or not, you will have to show up really early because you have to beat other people on your server, otherwise you will be put in overflow anyways.

Also, the point for guesting is to help people who also want to do events but may not have enough people around one their server, but there may be enough on another server.

Come up with a different solution that doesn’t break guesting. It is guesting that is not causing the problem considering that prior to the last patch nobody was complaining about Guesting like they do now. So what changed in the last patch? Guesting sure wasn’t introduced in the last patch.

I like your idea Slari.

I do have proof that it is guesters takeing up quite abit of spaces on my server, I had a few of my guildies (who were in there waiting an hour beforhand) ask around and quite of few people said they were guesting to do the dragons. That has been an issue sense Guesting was introdueced, I heard some people got banned for overly abuseing it, I dont know if it was true or not. It might not be visual proof because theres no indicator to tell if that person is guesting or not.

the main issue is how often the events run, I have never been overflowed in Maw, it happens every 30 minutes so more people get it done through out the day, but claw is almost always in overflow as everyone on the server (and guests of course) crams in at only a few points in the day every 3-4 hours.

Make em all happen more often will allow people to spread out more rather than having to focus on only 3-4 times a day.

Couple that with account locks on chests so that once you’ve fought back the world boss for the day you can’t log an alt to get the loot all over again (thus keeping the population at the next one high)
