A bit of background first, I I bought the game when it came out, and greatly enjoyed it, despite the poor story and voice acting, and the (personal opinion) disturbingly young looking female toons, not to mention the one good adult human male face and the terrible smooth skinned norn male faces… anyway the gameplay was good.
I however, left once I hit max level, as this is in essence a social game and I used to enjoy playing mmos with my friends, who levelled slower than me. they found it boring without someone to play with, and for my part, I found I couldn’t join them at low level areas and get a reasonable (not extreme nor grindable, just reasonable, so there would be a point in me playing other than boosting my friends, which l find boring as sin.) reward for my time. Plus it as too kitten easy, levelling down means almost nothing when your gear doesn’t level down too. So neither of us were having fun, and we all left to the real world, as we have other things to keep us busy and don’t NEED the game, though it was fun.
I saw this: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/dynamic-leveling-adjustment/
the other day and thought this could be the answer I was waiting for, levelled down gear, a reasonable return and I can play with my friend?! Awesome!
Well I’ve tried doing some low level areas, such as the places my friends left them game in and would likely return in, and found the enemies still very easy, and the rewards pathetic. I mean they didn’t even cover my travel cost of waypoints, let alone make it worthwhile for me :/
Am I missing something here? Someone please tell me there is a figurative button to press to make this work
Thanks for your (anticipated) help.
