Guild Wars 2

These threads that keep popping up are giving me a sense of urgency. I need to hit the FG train hard to get my ascended crafting done quick. It’s only a matter of time before ArenaNet pulls out the nerfhammer and smacks champ trains silly, returning ascended crafting to an unbearable grind.

I’ll echo what’s been said above about the FG train. I did the QD train for the first time for all of three champs today just to get the spore daily, so I’m completely unfamiliar with it. I’ve done the FG train quite a bit, though, and never seen the kind of rage people are reporting about QD. Nevertheless, I’m not confident ArenaNet will make a distinction between the two when they get nerfhappy.

The worst drama on the SoR FG train consists of squabbles within the train over whether or not to kill Quaggan.

The zerg train only exists for those riding it, there is no game mechanic or event that entitles individuals or a group exclusive use of content period.
I enjoy doing the zerg train occasionally for daily and monthly achievements but I also support openly in map chat other players rights to do as they please even if they are deliberately trying to derail the train.
The way I see it the very people that want to keep the train running will ultimately be responsible for its own demise if they do not adjust their thinking and behaviour towards others.
I would rather be able to do dynamic events in a live and populated world instead of a train, zerg or dungeon path grinding however that is a whole different topic of game design and implementation.

amen

I saw a champ mob so i said in chat "champ at <waypoint> and got a map reply “**** you trying to ruin our train” Ermm.. All i did was annouce that a champ was up for them to come. So i soloed it instead and then they finally came and oohhh how the verbal came at me lol *got, *ole.

I like the train. It is a lot more fun then doing hearts or other stuff in the game. Some people like to farm dungeons and became elitists. Why not have others their own style of farming?
Desides, A-Nets enjoys farming This is all about LS content so…

if you are a new player you will soon like it and think it is the best and easier way to level. it is not taking to much to see the whole map chat talking about the train.
Nerfing the train will have two conclusions; either it will move to another zone till it will get nerfed in there too, either the people will not play at all

Don’t count on fact that people will go and do the boring heart events coz it will never happen. The zones are way too huge to actually see more then 2-5 people running around so the whole game feels like GW1 only without your trusted heroes aka a single player MMO.

No reason to intentionally ruin cooperative players efforts to get everyone a chance at the champs. While swearing at people isn’t the right away to go about voicing your protest.. I can understand why it annoys people. I see lots of people riding the train helping each other out. They drop portals, link waypoints, put on commander tags and generally try to help even noobies get a tag on every champ.

I am not sure what to say to that at all.
Either my sarcasm detector is way off or…
