Guild Wars 2

Hey all.

I want to make this post to discuss one of the biggest flaws dungeons groups currently have in this game.If you aren’t familiar with the problem, let met explain it:

As you know, one person opens the dungeon you want to run on either story or explorable, before all others join ‘this person’s instance’. The problem, however, is that this person is also the ancor for the whole group. What this means is, if this person, in any way, leaves the group… -all- members of the party will get kicked out of the dungeon and will have to do the whole place again.

What if the player that joined just doesn’t listen to any tactics being said and causes the group to wipe over and over? What if the person is toxic towards everyone, constantly throwing arround verbal abuse? Do we just have to deal with it because he/she opened the dungeon? What if the ‘leader’ suddenly gets internet issue they did not forsee, if they can’t login the game anymore? The whole party has to either do the rest of the instance with 4 or leave if it proves impossible (think Dredge fractal lvl 50, for example, your guardian dcing and he was the only one). If the leader of the group can’t handle a few wipes, he leaves… suddenly, all get kicked out aswel… this just seems unreasonable.

In my honest opinion, it’s unacceptable that one person can basicly waste the (sometimes) hard work of an entire group by just leaving, or that a whole group has to suffer for an unconvient problem. I do not really understand why it isn’t possible for the ‘leadership’ of the instance to be passed on another person in the group, so that atleast those that are willing to still go on (even if it’s 1 person), can still do so.

If I forgot something, please feel free to add… or if I have provided wrong information, feel free to point that out also, but if you have faced this problem and agree, please also make a post stating this so that Anet knows that this is a serious issue. If there’s a big thread about this already, then I’ll post there instead and delete that, but I did not see any!

You would have saved much time if you had looked at the stickied FAQ.

Seen this countless times, once again it’s up to ANet to fix it, which is going to take them forever, “because we need to find a way to stick the blame to Scarlet so it actually matches our hand-holding Living Story content.”

If it’s not part of Living Story, we aren’t getting a fix.

Always hilarious when someone says kick this guy and another immediately seconds only to find themselves standing outside the dungeon. “Wtk happened?” I dont know idiot. What the kitten do you think happened? This kind of drama actually makes the game more interesting imo.
