Guild Wars 2

Hi there A-net,

just a question why cant we do any activities except one in a group? For an MMO which is known for their good player interaction and group play and guilds etc. Why there is no way we cna do these activities with friends or our guild? This makes wintersday pretty useless for me and many friends. We cant show each other some tricks in the JP, we cant build together a strong defense in Toycapolypse, we cant play choirsongs together, we cant PvP together?
I just dont understand it as you can see the PvP-Map and the Toycapolypse are clearly designed for group play? Why can the Infinarium be possible to enter as a group but not the others? Why cant we select the Activity-Maps in our Custom-Guild-Arena as a map but get the message “Friend joined PvP-Match” if someone enters the Wintersday activities? We cant even use the Join-Friend function on these maps like on all other maps, if they are not full.

Please change this ASAP. If i want to play alone, i would play other games.

The snowball mayhem pvp map was a group activity for the first winterday, and pre-made groups joined and rotf-stomped everyone else playing by themselves. Not very fun for those players, eh?

Toypocalypse as I have been reminded was changed due to a problem with pvp and activity groups. I forget the details, but it logistically wasn’t feasible to let pre-made groups into Toypocalypse. It was hoped to be fixed by this year, but it’s either too deep rooted, or not something they prioritised the time to fix for with so much else going on.

Dont Anet say all the time they have a matchmaking algorythm so things like this are extremely unlikely, but i can understand this point a little bit, but why is there no Ready-Up time so you at least could organize with pugs or the possibility to select Snowball mayhem as a map in a custom arena? This problem there would not exists. The random join in Divinitys reach for some players who like to play solo but our guild would have the possibility to play snowball mayhem so that it actually makes fun.
