I think we trolled some poor warriors on lfg last night. Do I have to feel bad now?

We were in a 4-man guild group, and put up an lfg to get a 5th. For some reason, the guildie that put up the lfg asked for experienced zerker and to ping gear, which the person that joined did without question. We then proceeded to switch characters to an inexperienced guardian and thief, to make things easier, and the rest tried to make the first run (TA) and for some reason failed miserably (I was still re-logging and only followed group chat). Suddenly, the warrior was gone …

I suspect that the 2nd warrior that came in afterwards (again dutyfully linking their equipment … good thing I didn’t have to link my guard’s stuff ) was a bit irritated at the chaotic group he had landed in, too, especially since we were quite chatty, but at least they stayed with the group, and the instance went fairly painlessly. Still, I have no idea why the guildie put those requirements in, but very much suspect the people answering were expecting a different kind of group.

Not as cruel as forcing my poor victims to dress in pink, though.

That’s pretty impressive, didn’t expect it to be possible on guardian, did you use norn elite rush?

i used full cleric gear with water runes. 00635 was the build. i got it down. it was incredibly fun to try. meditations heal was the main trait i was using. healing signet, 3 meditations and renewed focus were the utilities. and staff to apply swiftness at the very start instead of retreat.

Seeing as I’ve got a few days off work coming up, I’ve decided to set myself a new goal: reach Fractal reward level 50 before the end of the year. It might become an interesting experiment: I have rarely pugged fractals before, and never beyond level 9. I only have two characters with enough ar for lvl 40-50, mesmer and guardian, and only have decent experience with one of them (the mesmer). My experience in and knowledge of high-level fractals is ok-ish, but certainly far from perfect.

I’m taking bets on whether or not I’ll make that goal (considering that I did a total of three fractal runs across two accounts last month, one each on reward level 49, 29 and 9, it certainly isn’t going to be done automatically ), and of course invitations to be carried through some 49/50 fractals (never did a 50 before) are always welcome, too .

A question to those of you who know the pug-scene on EU servers: Is there any chance of pugging high-level fractals in the mornings? Starting next week, my most-uninterrupted playtimes will probably be when my kids are off to school .

Dunno if you were already doing this (Using RF makes me think you are…) but are you traiting Altruistic Healing and popping your virtues for a little extra heal? It might not be much, but you’re sooooooo close

Well, we need a tag of some sorts when posting real things, and let the others do their anti stacking threads. Something like putting a [dungeon] tag before the thread name, to filtrate dungeon posts and toxic phiw posts.

Edit: What about going to the norn or charr subforum? No one ever go there, they won’t notice.

The nice thing about this subforum was that the regular white knights never visit. Now all of the dungeon threads (if anyone is around to make them anymore…) will be covered with Vayne posts.

Edit: OMG now Vayne will probably be one of those volunteer forum moderators.

Our hope is that when we’re asking the developers to look at fewer forums — to not have to scroll down 11 times to get to the bottom group, to not have to play a guessing game of “Where would players look for this info?” — there will be increased developer participation.

This has to be the worst joke I’ve ever read in my life

As has already been suggested, I recommend the Norn subforum. Also, everyone on here should flood their application address with forum specialist applications. Try to load it with dungeon people. Ya’ll are the best at PvF anyway.

We’re all bad people Grimm, because we actually give a kitten about the future of this game.

At least that’s the message they seem to be sending out.

There are 3 game modes ( pvp , wvw and living world). So 3 subforums.

And yeah, I suppose when they look at dungeon forumers’ post history most will be excluded. Maybe people like Iris and Ivan (Dan) and maybe Lilith can come back just to send in an application.

dlonie too, he had that huge thread with Gail.

I couldn’t:

must have a Guild Wars 2 forum account in good standing with a history that includes minimal, if any, warnings or infractions

I’ve racked up quite a bit of PvF XP over the years, starting with the time I politely asked if Alphard’s bug was indeed a bug or intended. That first infraction was the beginning of the end for me.

Besides, would I want to be stuck in a role where I’m part of the problem, unable to give information to people who, by any measure of common sense, should be getting it? To be the middle-man between the mobs and the…other…middle-men (Gaile mentioned the FS would report to the FCT)?

No thanks. The Forum Communication “team” (I’m pretty sure the team is just Gaile, I’ve never seen anyone else post in that capacity) gets paid to do what they’re asking. I’m not doing their jobs for free, and certainly not with the restrictions they have in place.

Well said.

The purpose of those volunteers are nothing more than acting official “white knights”. If and when those players assume that role, they will have no other option than to be the scapegoat behind of all of Anet’s decisions.

Anet knows what they are doing; they will pick out influential people who will act as some vague representative between both players and company. These players will have to be both champion for Anet and the voice of the general players. Yea no conflicts there. However, it wraps up everything pretty nicely for Anet… to tell all the dissenters to kitten.

Expect more changes to come that we will not like.
