Guild Wars 2

Okay, I missed out on the Miniature reward meta because of this (as well as terrible Aetherblade spawns and bugged JP’s/caches), and yet again, I am attempting Obsidian Sanctum only to be constantly bullied by losers who think it’s funny to pick on PvE’ers trying to complete the JP. I’m not talking at the start where you can easily run or portal if you die, I’m talking like 5+ minutes into the JP at a point where you’re navigating tight jumps and some bonehead loaded with food buffs is throwing magic at you. So needless to say, it’s annoying as crap to re-do it by getting player killed, not through jumping error. So do we all need to be avid PvP’ers to reach achievements now? I live in Australia, and since starting GW in 2006, PvP is just no fun with the higher latency, because skill goes out the window against players with much lower ping, so I don’t PvP except for the Dailies occasionally. Can we please stop putting meta achievements in places where the bullies like to take advantage for free kills?

People usually think that running Obsidian sanctum JP is easier when there is no one around. Truth is – its not If you die somewhere in the middle or there are enemy trolls which sole existence is based on enjoying pushing people in JPs then it is much easier to have someone around to revive you or just help you deal with the trolls Remember, if you kill them they have to start over right from the start and then its you who can troll them.

The Devs do not feel your pain.

It is absolutely intended that you can fight people in the JP. The fact that so many people are piling into the map to get the achievement is good for any and all of you who are capable of laying the smack down on them, and, if they manage to fight back is hopefully going to encourage some of them to stick around and play WvW. If you don’t want to get killed by other players, don’t play WvW. Plain and simple. The achievement isn’t required for getting the meta-achievement on purpose.

As far as they are concerned PvE players dying is ‘as intended’. If you don’t like it then their opinion of it is ‘stay out, it’s not for you’.

Players who play WvW exclusively could just as easily request that ANet remove the Living Story achievements from PvE. It would be an equally absurd request.

Achievements are spread out among PvE, WvW, and PvP for a reason, and PvE gets the largest share of the achievements by far. PvE’ers who complain need to consider the point of view from the other two types of players.
