Guild Wars 2

This is just a rant, I know that there are many of you who love FotM out there as well.

1. It sucks the life out of other dungeons.
2. It is kitten boring.
3. It caters to more hard core players as to casual players.
4, It is the ONLY means to get ascended gear
5. It has hurt WvWvW in an indirect way by taking out former participates who decided to get ascended gear.
6. A lot of people seem to refuse to do a run that is lower than their maximum level unless its a daily.

Flame if you want, agree is you want.

Agree to all except for #2, and a little bit of #3. FotM is quite fun for me because of the difficulty progression and the randomness of getting which 3 fractals you’ll run. They are also not terribly long. (I’m looking at you Arah)

As for #3, even casual players should at least get to level 10, possibly 20. If you can’t handle higher levels like 30+, no problem. You’ll be experiencing the same thing as those on a much higher level than you.

1 and 5 are there because 4 is there, so they are basicaly the same issue. February is the big WvW patch that will bring Ascended Gear there, all other dungeon will soon have Ascended Gear too, I hope in January? (no info on this?) which will partially solve all the above issues.

2. A matter of personal preference, I like Fractals more than the other dungeons because they are shorter, have more interesting mechanics and the trash mobs are veterans not those silvers will bazilion hit points

3 and 6 are going to be lessened with the update coming end of January, or at least we all hope so
