Guild Wars 2

OK, it has been months since this has been proven to you via video evidence, yet there is still nothing being done about it. The merge bug is still as active as ever, I dont like having to restart whole dungeons because one guy decided to troll me. Either remove the button, give the instance owner a warning screen they can accept or decline, or fix it. The easiest method would be to just remove the button in the first place, all it is is causing grief for players. How long has it been without an update to this bug?

Short answer.
If you actually go in game, press z and look at the top of the window it clearly is saying Looking for group [BETA].

The tool is not officially released yet and is a work in progress.

While I agree with OP that the merge button is pointless it is unfortunately in beta and will probably remain in beta until a week before GW3 launches, because they have other priorities. Scarlet has to do something every other week or they are afraid that people will forget to log in and and throw gems at them.

It has been 100 days since Ben Newell’s response that he would ‘look into it’ refering to the party merge bug.

No other updates or acknowledement of the issue has occured since.

If it is not addressed in the ‘Huge’ feature patch after the end of the current living story arc I would never expect it to be.

It’s a feature.

Grief-ture!

:D

Bump for great justice. This bullkitten needs to get fixed.

White knight casuals griefing legit dungeon sellers is just pathetic. Haven’t been able to sell a single run in the past 3 days because someone keeps crashing my instances.

Edit: Yay i got my signature back.

They should really introduce like a gem store item that disables the merge button.
Or you could start merging people yourself. Not sellers but one of those many yet always delightful “at lupi need guardian 10k AP no noob or kick!”. The problem isn’t solved because anet doesn’t cater to dungeon sellers. If it affects enough of the playerbase, it will be solved. Just look at that silly flamekissed bullkitten.

The only way I see it fixed is if in the LS finale there’s a dungeon and people get griefed nonstop by the merge button.
