I’ve been a lowbie for about 11 months now. I like the game but I also have a demanding life so I don’t get to play it as much. I play when I can. What sucks is that whenever I do play there’s always a new event dungeon that’s part of the event story and always I find it frustrating to get into a group to play. Even with Insta 80 people don’t want you (I don’t blame them your not as powerful still).

Guildwars dungeon groups have always been smug. After 5 years I’ve never even completed or got past the entrance of the old dungeons due to the Elite dungeon group issues. So I just stuck to PVP. Seems like I do that in most MMO’s I try to Pve and join up in dungeons and always run into some elitists get annoyed and stick to PVP. This game really doesn’t have a PVP system worth talking about so to me it’s really a PVE game.

What’s annoying about dungeons is that there’s no room to learn them. Everyone expects you to know it going into it. When these group Proleetis groups wipe out they blame everyone but their lack of teamwork.

I actually quit MMO’s because of getting tired with the group attitude but in Guildwars the game kind of leveled somethings out since dungeons were just a side part of the story and there was plenty in the story to do that made you not have to miss out out anything.

GW2 is different. These dungeons are apart of these stories and if your a casual player that wants to do them its a stump in the road. I never thought I’d miss Hero’s and Henchmen just so I could explore a dungeon.

Your best bets for getting dungeon groups are: (a) join a guild; players are usually willing to guide guild members on their first run throughs; or (b) go to gw2lfg.com and look for groups with no requirements (like speed run, pro only, etc.); when you get into the party say something like, “New to this dungeon, I’d appreciate any tips you can give.” Some players are more than willing to assist if asked, but will be less tolerant if you say nothing, leaving them to assume you know the dungeon.

Spoiler Alert…

There wasn’t any actual “Story” in the last Dungeon :p
Loot is Crap too … 1 person out of your party will get a T6 whatever piece of Aetherized metal that has a 1 in 12 chance of turning into a charged whatsit. …I get a 1/3 chance of getting those from Dwayna/Lyssa’s chest every day and it didn’t require me to run around in a circle 48 times climbing crates every 15 seconds while Blitzkrank tries to troll-pull me into his blender-Tower.
