Guild Wars 2

I was just wondering how many people out there are being affected by this, so I figured I would ask.

Has anyone else here experienced one of the following:

A) You or someone you know has not gone to play with their friend half-way across Kryta just because of the WP costs of having already played with “too many” other friends that hour.

B) You or someone you know has not joined their friend in an instance group because the WP cost was the final discouraging factor

C) You or someone you know has not joined a major event because of the WP cost to travel in the same zone.

D) You or someone you know has been discouraged from continuing personal stories with their friends because the WP costs were becoming too high for the friend who gets no money from the storyline.

E) You or someone you know has ever decided to walk somewhere when they would have normally WPed, simply to save the WP fee.

F) Other?

Waypoint cost are ok.

Starting from the free travel to LA the cost to anywhere isnt to excessive for anyone who hasnt spent all there money on crafts (which a few guildies have done).

WP cost does affect my decisions on what/where to play and with which character.

I’d be a horrible friend or guildmate if I let WP cost dissuade me from joining them.

The way I figure it, in-zone WP is about the same cost as two loot drops.

Across zones it gets bigger, of course, even using the mists – LA – city. Also if you’ve ever been in a dungeon group, it takes several minutes if someone cheaps out and makes you wait while they come thru the mists.

I’ve experienced:
A
B
C
D
E

The costs are ridiculous.

Personally, waypoint costs are the sole discouraging factor when trying to look for fun events to do.

Had it not been for waypoint costs, I’d certainly find myself frequenting key zones pretty regularly (Mount Maelstrom, Frostgorge Sound, Blazeridge Steppes, Sparkfly Fen come to mind)

Ive experienced all, I just end up walking is all.
