Guild Wars 2

…please wait a moment before trying to join again.

In the past I get this messege a few times, when i tried to join a silverwastemap. I was unlucky, the map was full, so i go for next group. Maybe ok to restriced this, maybe not. It was a pain in the butt, but I waited a few moments and is was ok. But today I joined 1! group, got instantly on silverwastemap and all was good. After half an hour the map was done and i would like to join an FotM partys… and the game tells me I have “joined too many, pls wait”. Charakterrelog: same message. Game off and on: same messege and now after 10 min of writing this text… same message. Too hell with this, I want to play, even if in my guild or on my friendlist no one is online.

At first i thought to post this in the bugforum, but on second thought, why is this even in game in such a strict restriction. I can understand if they want to cut the joining after 20 oder maybe 30 attempts, but after roughly 5 times i try to join an sw map for example. Its rediculous.

I even have no single clue why this should restricted in the first place. Maybe I am not creative enough to think of a way to “abuse” the lfg with joining after joining and so on. Even if the restriction itself has a purpose, I really think it shouldn´t be restricted this hard (5-7 groupjoines and happy waiting time). If it would be restricted after 20+ joins it would bother less, i think.

I agree on this, it’s extremely stupid. Another similar restriction is the “you’ve sent too many mails” warning that pop up after ~3 mails … why are they not doing anything about this

The mail restriction makes sense; it prevents gold spammers from sending a plethora of mail spam to hundreds of players before their account gets banned. With the restriction, that number is reduced to only a few players. The same goes for those players attempting to impersonate GM’s through mail.

As for the party restriction, I agree entirely that it should be looked into, and am having trouble thinking why it is there in the first place – perhaps just to prevent dungeon runners from giving up on their groups too often?

I can see the potential need for some restriction on party hopping, but the current level is way over the top. I needs to be relaxed a lot.

I am happy to see that I am not the only one who is bugging this

Today i snaped again. Wanted to do a releaxed SW-eventrun and tada cf-train. I have nothing againsed cf, but I was not in the mood. So I looked in lfg. First group > map full. Second goup > map full… and then the message. I thought, wtf is this

Only two groups and the restriction snapes in, please, this is really rediculous.

For the record. After login I joined cof p1 group. After that I explored queensdale for an hour. So maybe it can be seen as I joined 3 groups before I got the message. But this fact doesn´t make it anything better.

Ok, rant of today. I really hope anet will lock into this, somewhat in the near or maybe far future xD

If the map is full it should not count against the players lfg limit. This is a complete pain especially on the weekend.

Even worse is when you click join but you are too late and game thinks you joined and left group in a split second, even though you didnt join anything. Happened to me twice in 5-6seconds time and I was blocked from LFG for more than 10min… The longest I had to wait to retry LFG was about 30min, even relogs didnt help so I was stuck on empty map without neither chest farm nor events waiting for mercy of LFG,

In my opinion if such system has to be in place (and i certianly understand why), why not just block player from joining the same party, unless invited, after 4-5times instead of blocking every other party from lfg. This way you can still try to join other taxies but keep people away from abusing and griefing one certain party at lfg.

yeah i got hit with this also a couple times.

It would also be nice if you get locked out of one sections of LFG it wouldn’t lock you out of another section. open world groups vs dungeon vs fractal groups.

+1 to this. I tried to join Tequatl today and after 2 attempts where map was full I was blocked from joining. It’s very frustrating . PS. omg, did path 1 Ascalon and can’t join for other paths bacuse I’m blocked again. Pls do something about this, it’s ridiculous.
