Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if it was just my experience or have others found the world events located in the starter maps to be extremely fast and non-challenging. I just finished participating in the shadow beast (Queensland) and the shaman event (Wayfarer) in less than 5 minutes each. Granted with higher level characters, it didn’t seem overly challenging in beginning maps every time prior to the patch, but I at least got to cycle through all my skills once. I thought I would give things a chance and see how they are, but the scale down (all eight of my characters are 80) either isn’t enough or they lowered the difficulty too much in these areas. Other foes on the starter maps are equally not challenging.

Although there were many people there, it did not appear to be any more than pre-feature patch. Previously, I could team up with a friend that bought the game a month ago and not one shot everything before he sees it. Now I am not so sure….

thoughts? thanks
