Guild Wars 2

So there are a sizable amount of mastery points tied to story achievements and now that S1 and S2 are long over, pretty much nobody is doing these anymore, so we just can’t get them unless you have guildies that are willing to help.

Is it likely that there will be even more mastery points added to S3? Can we get 166 mastery without doing the story ones?

S1 was before mastery points. For S2 and HoT, the story and its achievements are solo content, except for HoT’s Migraine achievement.

You can max out without the story achievements, but you’ll likely have a much easier time doing the story achievements as the alternatives can be very time consuming. See the wiki for a list.
