Guild Wars 2

AFK’ing in the chest room causes dogs to spawn because there’s more people and makes it harder for people who are actually running the labyrinth. Gonna do something about the AFK’ers yet Anet?

I pretty much see the same amount of dogs, regardless of how many people are in the labyrinth.

Oh no, there is not the same amount of dogs. The more people the more dogs, sometimes it’s practically impossible to pass them to go to the middle chamber.

There is more than one way to get to the centre.. if all you do is try running straight up the centre path then yeah your going to find it tough in a capped map all wanting to farm the labby.
Smart players look at where the dogs are then take the side paths and then climb up and pinch the chest from behind.. there are never more than one or two dogs actually in the centre, but there will always be a lot of dogs chasing players up the easiest route to the centre.. .. so take yourself off autorun and use a bit of common I say.

Everyone rushes to the center and the dogs follow. If the lane is full of dogs, wait a few minutes. It will clear and then you can go. It’s not like the rewards change or get worse if you don’t open that chest first.

Correct, there is a back way in.

But the problem lies in the fact that for one – you can’t go up the middle to get your chest because there are more dogs that spawn and people rush up the middle, making it impossible. And two – the back door is becoming littered with bodies from AFK’ers for the measly event reward, and it becomes just as clogged with dogs because the back door is now starting to become the main way to get in.

Another problem is people dying in the chest room right on top of the chest, and then going AFK. It also makes it next to impossible to open the chest unless a blue moon shines and you mouse over it just right, otherwise you’ll start rezz’ing the dead AFK’er.

And all of this for what really? Because Anet offers piddle rewards; 3 sand, 2 bandit marks for not even bothering to play the game, but it’s still enough for greedy lazy gamers, who would otherwise bot, to linger.
