Guild Wars 2

I went to Cursed Shores with my level 35 character. But the XP there is bad (can’t tag any mob despite dealing 200 dmg over the span of 10-12 hits) so I thought about buying dungeons. The ones that are being sold are AC and Arah. Good, I have access to the two.

But what? People don’t accept level 35 tagging along for Arah? Is my money different? I went in several sell topics and got despised (“too low level” at p3, another time I got kicked – and refunded, a last time I was kicked before being able to send money simply because I confirmed I was me on this forum) or being kicked at p1 and p3. Those two paths can be 2, 3 or 4 manned, so why do they reject my money?

Others on the other hand are amused seeing such a low level coming to them and even escort me to get the final chest (because yes, I get one-shot, no matter the setup I use).

So I learned that getting such a low level in Arah is mostly negative, I just don’t know why. Can anyone enlighten me? No group needs 5 people to finish the boss, I witnessed it.

For low levels I have a few sellers who contact me and ask if I want the run. They’ll say “can level alt”. In an hour I get about 4 of these messages. My advice is to get a rapport with legit sellers and join their runs. I can also ask my sellers to add you to their list if you like.

Be prepared to switch back and forth a lot if the selling doesn’t go smoothly. Can’t relist with sub80 in party.

Other than that it shouldn’t be an issue.

edit: most p3 sellers expect the buyers to help with boss and you get less money back. so I don’t recommend leveling through p3.

I can’t do the ritual myself so I ask my buyers to help T_T

I remember helping once! But I was just helping/leeching. Haha

That would be nice, thanks! But I’m on EU, not NA

Yup, know it, but thanks anyways. It’s always useful to note it somewhere for future reference.

I want the tokens as well and I’m too lazy to run Arah atm. So it’s two birds with one stone.

and then those trolls killed my instance Q_Q

I could understand that if you couldn’t mouseover to see which zone someone is in. Some people might assume that you still have to walk there.
But since you can clearly see where someone is or even more so when you’ve already entered the instance I have no idea why they would kick you.

Well, my actions to join such a run are simple:
- I join with one of my 80s (I cannot join with my alt).
- I say “Hello, I’ll buy this run for my lowbie”.
- I make sure I either get a positive answer or no answer. If I get a negative one, ok, I’m off.
- I stay with my 80 until the party is full. If the guy asks for the gold now, I give it at that moment.
- I relog with my lowbie previously parked in Cursed Shore.
- I enter the dungeon.
- I pay the seller.
- I enjoy the tokens and the XP.

So I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong. Am I? Ok, I get more out of this than all the other buyers, since I get levels, but this doesn’t explain everything.

Anyways, I can find my Arah P1+P2+P3 every day (been doing it for 3 days now) so in the end I get what I want. It’s just that I often get kicked at some point (more than 50% of the groups I join).

You don’t need level 80’s for the ritual.

i don’t kick sub-80s

in fact i’ve never had sub-80s join my sales

Hello,
you did join my group for an arah selling, let me briefly explain what was wrong for our point of view:
we had still 2 spots to sell so i asked if you could swap back for a bit since i wasn’t able to put the lfg back; your answer was something like " i’m already nice enough to buy and i don’t care about your 2 others spots, now kill the boss or i leave"
so yeah, i’d rather sell 2 more spots and not deal with this kind of answer. Concerning your question, i already had sub 80 buying arah, it’s not a problem at all.
Good day, good luck for your leveling.

Poor Fror.

Sounds like a lack of communication talent to me. Wonder if this is below Mr. Whisker to jump in and remedy the situation.

anyway. I always find it fun when people come into threads and give another part of the whole story.

What the hell is this? o_O

That was someone else or I don’t know. Because everytime I’m asked to go back on my 80, I do it. The only thing I refuse is to come to the WP to help because I’m one-shot anyways. So your view of the reality is distorted because 1. it wasn’t me or 2. you were the one guy (over 20 runs I joind) asking me to relog and waited litterally 2 seconds (and I mean “litterally”) before kicking not leaving me any time to proceed.

I’ll check my screenshots to see if one is you (but I screen only right before sending the money).

Anyways, I don’t wanna judge sellers individually, but the main mentality. If you offer a service in Arah, don’t be surprised lowbies join.

well, it may have been misunderstanding from both parts, but i’m pretty sure you refused to relog. Maybe you thought the group was full since we had 2 fillers, i don’t know. If i just didn’t understand what you said, then my apologies, but the way you said you wouldn’t log back sounded really agressive ( i’m not implying it was, it felt like it) and i’m pretty sure it was you since i was the guy asking you if you were the same fror from those forums ^^

Oh… The downside of being easily recognized as an active forumer. It’s like the paparazzi is following you always.

Fror, I feel you. I bet this was a misunderstanding.

When people in game recognize me as the lilithist I am it’s very frightening. I send them cookies to get them to stop messaging me… doesn’t always work. X.x

meh, i have been long forgotten by now ;p

maha.7902:

Only because you post on 40 different accounts. Lol

Plot twist: Azreel/hendo/Dub/colesy/Nike/Tree is also maha.

You neither told me to stop stalking you, nor did you send me cookies.
And I’m not colesy. Although we both have an unhealthy obsession to spam imgur links.
And Fror, I’m also obsessed with giving dungeon spots to other people, especially low levels. Be it pugs or forum members, everyone is welcome. I’ll let you know when you can leech something.

Dub :D

You’re allowed to stalk me. It’s creepiest when the lurkers stalk me. The ones I never see who wait in the shadows ready for me to log in and BAM. There goes my cookies.

I must clearly change my tactic.

Some nerve you’ve got there, taking my gold and then demanding I run the dungeon. What the kitten am I paying you for then? [/sortasarcasm]

He says he “asks” hehe

The ritual is really easy, buyers just have to stand in the circls. They don’t even need to attack. Haha. Plus they get the boss chest too ^^
