Guild Wars 2

I really enjoy these big group events when there is a lot of strangers coming together to kill things.

BUT, after switching servers to a more populous one that allows both Americans and Europeans to play together because of the changes to cater for the WvW players. I have found that instead of getting a gold reward for completing an event from start to finish with a group, I am now only getting a silver reward or bronze.

I switched to fighting with my staff that records my kill rate up to 25 and realised that despite hitting a lot of foes, I was getting no recognition for the kill. I found that my aoe skills were getting no credit for the damage that they caused too.

This is simply down to the number of people hitting a foe and the fast kill rate but it is wrong that I should get no credit for helping with the kill, when I can see the damage scores on my screen.

Some events like Plinx are just not worth doing anymore because there are far too many people doing the same event.

The other thing I have found is that when magic find goes above a certain level, the number of foes dropping loot falls off. If I pop a chocolate cherry I get a reasonable amount of loot… not all high end, but if I pop an omnom bar then I get higher end loot and more gold but fewer foes actually drop anything – it has got to the stage where I actually make more using the chocolate cherry.

Tagging a foe isn’t enough. You need to do a specific amount of damage.

The Plinx event chain was never worth it because there’s so few foes. Grenth chain was, and still is, the best place to farm.

Any evidence to support your magic find claim? The personal experience of 1 (or several) player(s) isn’t evidence, unless you have killed hundreds of thousands of monsters and catalogued/counted each and every drop.

Maybe get armor without magic find stats. Should solve your damage/tagging problems and your “magic find cap” “problems”.

Well I have not sat down and recorded every single kill – but it is noticeable enough for me to comment on it.

I don’t just tag a foe, I am doing reasonable damage. I am not one of these people who goes around tagging stuff for karma points. If I find I have pulled something onto someone who is doing something different then i stay and help to clean up my mess.

Good for you, on my server, i have no players to do events. Which server are you on?
