Guild Wars 2

This is a problem I have encountered a few times, but today really pushed me over the edge. People with low level toons join Fractals. Yes these are usually easier Fractals, but it still is annoying. I am fine with a level 71 guy joining, he knows the class and has most of his trait points assigned. But, I kid you not, I joined a Fractal with 3 under 80s. One guy was 70 so I didn’t care that much, but the other 2 guys were just ridiculous. A level 22 and a level 7. Both had less then 500 AP, and were an Elementalist. We rolled the Uncatagorized Fractal, which in my experience is really easy. We wiped 30 seconds into the first champ battle.

Why do these people join? They must know the level restriction by the time they know about dungeons.

It is because they are new to the game probably. If you are fotm leveling, I would adivse you to use use fotm 20+, even if your char hasn’t reach that high yet. Assuming you have at least some AR.

Fractals does scale you up to 80. (Why? I don’t know… Ask ANet!) On lower-level Fractals this isn’t a big problem, but I agree that anything level 10 and up should be level 80 players only, if only because upscaled players won’t have access to the same kind of skills and options that level 80’s do.

One should at the very least be lvl30. And this is assuming they have enough skillpoints to buy all the necessary skills/elite.

I am trying to get a Vial of Condensed Mist Essence and I heard that they drop best at Fractal 2. So I am running around that level. Also, they started the instance so they have some idea of what to expect.

Dungeon level confusion is one definite culprit. I’ve had someone join a fractal and say that their character is level 33 and so they’re high enough to do a 28 fractal. The problem is that dungeons like AC story have a recommended level 30, and so people mistakenly translate that to fractal level restrictions as well.

Actually just do your normal fotm ranges. you can farm glob and shards and downgrade them using MF. And Jade Maw level is still “glitched”, a few days ago I got a vial from Jade Colossi at fotm48.
