Guild Wars 2

I dont know if its just me but i feel like people run less dungeons because of the pvp reward tracks. Someone asked me about week ago to run dungeons and i agreed and this was there group who ran dungeons together. They do that because its hard to find people for it now. Maybe its just cause i play at night but i find less people doing dungeons and fractals.

Some of us do much PvP lately because we are bored of dungeons.

This.

A lot of my guildmates I played PvE with are focusing PvP now
After 2 years you are bored and you are searching for challanges you can’t find in PvE

In 2 years i found 3 quality people to run fractals with. 3.

I had a group who ran fractals, we got to 50 and they reset fractals and we kind of all quit doing fractals lol.

2 thing i wish they did for dungeons

1) keep the dungeons hard, the community for the most part are babies. When they first try things they cry then someone figures it out and tells the rest of the monkeys how to do it and then anet makes the game easier. All of a sudden me and 1 friend can do the all but the arah dungeon. When the game first game out it was a struggle but i enjoyed the challenge of finding people and completing a dungeon.

2) In game dungeon specials, for instance fighting the ac guy and the top of the stairs i believe is kholer. (sorry i havent done a dungeon for a real long time) If he had a mini or a special ammy or weapon that dropped. It would give people more reasons to do the dungeon. Or on fractals have a unique reward for getting to 20,30,40,50 something to show that this person took the time.

All in all i just find myself loggin in to do some pvp matches and getting off. Ive done almost everything i can do for the game and just looking for a challenge outside pvp and i couldnt find a group to do a dungeon so i thought i vent in here.

I have a bit of trouble finding competent AND willing players to do dungeons with nowadays, even more so for fractals which isn’t even all that rewarding.

I wouldn’t blame it on PvP though, it’s more people got bored and quit running dungeons or quit the game altogther.

I can’t talk for other, but within my group of player we pretty much all went more toward pvp, and it seem that we are not alone. When we do dungeon we usually play together so I don’t really pug ofthen. I didn’t notice a big difference when I do pugs, but like I said I don’t pug that often now.

I personally don’t really like any dungeons besides Arah so I guess I can relate to some of the stuff here. Just nothing about the PvP. Pls no.

I was personally big on dungeons for 2 years, switched to PvP now. I only go PvE when the new content comes so that I can do all the achies and acquire all the new items that I want, which is usually a few hours of work on patch day (not counting the Silverwastes grind)

People still run dungeons, but I assume they are in the same situation as me. I have a steady group of friends I like to run with, and if they aren’t available I try to run with guildmates. I use LFG as a very last alternative, often choosing not to run the dungeon at all if it comes down to that. Just today, I listed a cof p1 run that two people dropped because they died at the acolytes, and then a hotw p2 that I dropped because the group kept wiping at the quaggan champs and refused to try my suggestions… Also keep in mind that nerf (a year or so ago) to alts getting full token rewards. Most people won’t run the same dungeon more than once per day, where they used to run the same path multiple times on alts.

End of story, I think the majority of people running dungeons aren’t listing in LFG. That said, I do pvp for dungeons that I’m behind on for the Dungeoneer achievement.

Rhapsody has it. I used to run fractals and dungeons daily with a group. Over time, most of us have gone inactive for various reasons.

I play only a few times a week and I’ll be kitten ed if it’s with random, rude PUGs. I play with the friends or guildies I have on who I know are good players and a good time to play with. If there are not enough people on, I’ll just do something else.

Spamming HotW track on repeat, guys!

Two years? Three people? Join a guild. I mean.. wat? This is not a ‘them’ issue. This is a ‘you’ issue.

There are only a couple dungeon paths that i like, and after completing them, i cannot repeat, because i will hardy get any reward for repeating. → People do a path only once / day, so dungeon LFG doesnt ever get flooded with ppl (like open world).

PvP reward track: you can repeat 24/7

that only means they initially liked pvp more and didn’t want to be forced to pve
