Hello,

I’v recognised that since the Guesting-featur came out, we have massiv problems with the dragon events (in particular with Jormag, but the others too).
The last time i experienced such skill delays was the Karka-Event.
It seems that Guesting is now abused to swich server and do the event again or just do it because one miss it on his own server and don’t want wait till next event.
However, it is already a problem and it will be more and more a bigger problem if more players discovered Guesting as a “jump in – jump out” possibility for a particular evet.

I have noticed this too. Dragon events especially are so much more populated than they were before guesting happened. Talk about exploiting!

You cannot tell me that transferring servers and having to stay there for 7 days was worse as far as exploiting goes than what we are now seeing with guesting.

Also, these “guests” are slowing down events and making skill delays maddening. Guesting certainly didn’t make things better for me. Guesting made dynamic events exponentially worse. It is less fun to play now that all the “guests” have arrived.

Thats not exploiting considering Anet has already knew that people would do this which is why they have the 24hr limit on 2 servers for guesting. You also have to be aware that guests have lowest priority at any event meaning that if your feeling lagged they are more.
