Guild Wars 2

Appears to be the only way to get into a server rather than the autofail overflows.

Which means you need to log on to GW2, sit your toon in SparkFly and do NOTHING other than wait for the main map to become available (which might not happen in the 2/4/6/8 hours that you have available to play, especially for the first couple of weeks). Apart from throwing a skill every while to avoid being kicked for being afk.

Rinse and repeat.

Congratulations Anet, welcome to boredom wars, where the people with the longest boredom threshold with nothing better to do in RL can access the content.

Is this what you intended?

Sure there is still a buzz around it, but from comments I see from the silent majority who don’t bother posting on forums, a lot of people have already given up on it, saying things like ‘wait three hours to fail something, no thanks’ or ‘I parked my toon there and d/cd just as it spawned’ or ‘I parked my toon there and WENT OFF TO PLAY A MORE INTERESTING GAME until the dragon spawned, then wished i hadn’t bothered wasting my toon’s time’.

You have also managed to create a division in the community between those servers that can get organised (usually single language) and those with a variety of people in the player base or the more casual players.
