Meta Builds and Pandora's Box
Meta Builds are simply the most effective builds. If you don’t wish to use them in a non-speedrun group or by yourself, that’s fine. If you don’t want to use them in very difficult content (IE high end fractals) then you’re just holding the group back because you’re a build hipster, then nobody is going to want to work with you.
If they are 1% that means there are still 99% out there making groups for themselves.
what 1% are you talking about? People that are rich? You don’t need gold to have fun in this game.
The bot’s are not that bad in most of the game and anyone buying from gold sellers run the risk of losing their accounts.
If you want to play the build you want, why not just start your own group and say everyone is welcome.
There will always, ALWAYS, be meta builds etc. It’s just the nature of gaming, people want to be rewarded as quickly as possible. I don’t see how this has to affect your own play experience though.

Your thread title is about “meta builds”, but your actual post is just whining about players who have more gold than you. So, what?
I have been play this game for 4 month’s and already seeing the effect of Meta uber builds in game . 1 % ers are doing just fine yet the base of this gaming players are getting the shaft . I have have seen this in all part’s of the game . So this is your basic MMO all over again . Bots are having free rain , Gold for sell items are a dime a dozen in lion’s arch from You Know asia china sweet shop . Higher end Fractals LFM grouping Must be META Build to join BS . ALL in all at first this game i had hope for now uuuhhggg . Same bs as other games > Time to get out the chess board which is a good thing . Meta build are not . THxs Aaaaaaandkitten!% ers
Makes no sense. If we are talking about 1% then that would not be meta builds but instead extreme niche.
So are you arguing that people with extreme niche builds are ruining the game?
As for the gold argument. How does that relate to meta builds besides needing ascended armor for level 50 fractals? Not sure where you are going for. Maybe you just wanted to vent.
Bots have been a part of the MMO genre in a while. Anet is taking an active approach against them and has recently expanded penalties to buying customers.
On highend level fractals people want to save as much time as possible and make it as easy as possible (in pugs). Can’t blame people for efficiency. You can though make your own group and rest assured, it will fill up.
As for the MMO all over again argument, yes this is a MMO. Nothing more can be said there. Move on if you were expecting something else.
