Guild Wars 2

I am only 52 so I have only gotten through TA but here are my thoughts so far:

1. Generally a dungeon can take me two hours and given this I feel that the xp after completion is not equivalent to what I could have earned doing hearts ect in the same amount of time.

2. The drops I get throughout an entire run consist of maybe ONE single item that is usable by my class. Of the others, I vendor 9 out of 10 items because there is no demand on the BLT and the economy is craptastic with everything at or very close to the vendor price anyway.

3. This leads to another problem… the amount I spend repairing through a dungeon maybe makes me break even with the goods I vendor if I am lucky.

4. I appreciate the lvl of difficulty and understand that is the way AN has designed these and that is how they are staying, but it seems to me that several boss battles expect you to wipe multiple times (IE you kill 1 or 2 things before you wipe and rinse and repeat). This is not fun and enhances the repair cost.

5. The amount of time it takes to go through a dungeon and the amount of tokens you get in explore mode for completion do not equal a desirable time-grind-fun ratio… is there really a point to the lower level dungeon armor? I cant imagine that by the time you get enough tokens that armor would still be relevant to your level… transmutation stones aside. I have NO desire to grind for these armor sets no matter how cool they look.

All in all I find that I dread participating in a dungeon. I understand it is not something I have to do and I can avoid them, but I don’t want to avoid them! Its literally the ONLY time I find myself in a group of people who talk to each-other… Aside from dungeons this is the loneliest MMO I have ever played. I can have 100 people around me in a dynamic event and there will be no party or talking what so ever… (yes I am in a guild too).

I sincerely hope AN can fix the time-reward of these dungeons to make it something I can look forward to participate in, as right now they are only something I drudge through to get the feather hat from story mode that clips though my charr’s horns…

Just wanted to share my thoughts =)
