Guild Wars 2

I have one idea, tell me if you share it or not. The thing is that many people complain about guesters in maps (I can understand them since there is people that can’t join their native map due to guesters sometimes). So I thought about one thing that may be viable to Anet.

Lets consider that there are no guesting service, so people would be able to do things in their own servers and instanceable maps. The thing would work as follows:

1) 1 Instance leader will make an LFG advertise in LFG system, just as Dungeons currently do but for LS maps or any map.

2) Once you got that, the “Big party” will need 50+ players inside to be able to create the instance on the Anet Server. Let’s allow the instance leader to set up a password (so people from a guild or from different servers coordinated by a 3rd party software (as TS) could join with no “pugs”).

3) Instance the map to that big party

I think this would be a nice solution to the guesting service. You’ll make that main maps are filled only with that server players (currently Deso LA is hardcapped for example and even people from Deso main can’t join) and will allow people from other servers organise with more people like them that are not able to do their events in their own servers. So this way, guesters could only join a main map if there are enough spots for them (lets say main players have priority) and if they still want to play with friends they could go to overflow or an instanced map

As much as I love this idea, Anet doesn’t want to segregate the population. They would rather the pugs learn than to have those who know what they are doing in separate instances. Maybe for medium sized stuff (10-25 man guild raids maybe?) I could see something like this working greatly.

As time goes on – that entire ideal is what will slowly dwindle the player base each and every day.

I bought GW2 to play.

I did not buy GW2 to instruct others how to play.

I agree with you in that sense, I dont like having to worry if those around me know what to do or will lay around dead upscaling the boss and not contributing. With instancing like this, that worry would be gone and I’d be able to enjoy myself a lot more.
