Guild Wars 2

Ratty.5176:

TLDR: If you run with a well oiled machine that knows every trick, it’s just playing by route and can be very easy to overcome any obstacle. Playing with a group where you have to deal with other players mistakes can be a lot more challenging and in turn much more fun and rewarding.

Yeah, but shouldn’t it be content/dungeons in the game that are hard even for veteran/skilled players such as yourself?

Ya this is what I don’t get. Apparently challenging content for hardcore players should be oriented around carrying everyone (eg directing them and telling them what to do). Makes no sense for any hardcore players. Let casuals play how they want and offer the same choices for hardcore.

You mean that the good players should babysit the newbies? What if I don’t want to do that? (I mean, if I was a good player that is)

oh, maybe you were ironic. hard to tell in text form…

LF3M Fractals 20 Daily. ONLY Guardian / Mesmer / Ele / Warrior. NO RANGERS! ONLY Exp Players & 5k+ Achievement points!

Found this on gw2lfg.com He must be very fun to play with lol.

Hahaha He can ask for whatever he wants though. It’s his problem if he doesn’t find anyone to play with.

You mean, there aren’t enough people to fit his criteria? I think his chances of getting a group are very very high

Yeah, that was kind of what I meant. I have 2,3K achievement points. Not saying that is standard but he sured narrowed his LFG message down.

Yea, I was just simply commenting on the fact that a lot of threads are simply reverse-elitism. It’s almost like the casual player is now the one providing the most hate and disrespect for individuals that would like more of a challenge. Not all hardcore players are jerks, just like not every casual is a nice person - I don’t get why there is such the stereotypes.

If "play how you like to play" is ArenaNet’s motto, then there should be challenging content to satisfy these types of players. I’m confident ArenaNet will come up with something...

I agree, I actually just made a post about this myself, lol
