Guild Wars 2

I’m mildly annoyed to say the least.

At first I was not. But things sometimes turn out that way it seems.
I finally found some people to do some TA story with and bam I got told to skip all cutscenes. After me saying ‘Um.. no.’, I was kind of ‘threatened’ by someone in my group, asking if I want to get kicked. I was even told to watch it on You Tube!

After that, I left as fast as I could. For just having some fun and maybe some nice conversations/ meeting interesting people (social element in MMOs, anyone?), this surely left a sour taste.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand, why (some?) people are like this. Why even do story at all, if you don’t want to see the actual story? And even if they have seen it already, but not completed, what gives them the right to tell others what to do?

It’s an increasing trend in todays gaming comunity, I’d say (you know, short attention span, general unfriendliness and the likes). Sadly, as GW2 is concerned, I have the feeling this has also to do with not needing to talk to each other in everything PvE (except for said dungeons, maybe), but that’s just my two cents.

I’m just putting this out here so the people at Anet can discuss this trend and maybe find a solution (if interested). For me, it’s a huge setback. After all, dungeons are the only thing (at least in my oppinion) that are not too easy (in PvE at least) and I really like them for that.

Thanks for reading!

I enjoy watching the story mode videos. The only problem I run into are people who like to watch them repeatedly. If we’ve run TA Up about 10 times, you’d think they’d have gotten the jist of the story.
I would like to rewatch all those cutscenes, so if you need another person for TA story, feel free to message me in game. :P
Also, if you haven’t, definitely do SE story mode. That gave me all the feels.

Back on topic, it is annoying. The story in most of this game is mediocre, at best, and the best of it seems to be in dungeons. The fact that people always want to skip it is bothersome, but i understand it at the same time. A lot of people have the speed run mentality, get in and get out as soon as you can so you can do something actually rewarding, like explorable.

When I first started doing dungeons I watched every cutscene once. If I have already seen the cutscene I will skip it. For some reason none of my guild mates wanted to watch the cutscenes so I was kind of a troll to them which made it fun to make them wait
