HoT The new gw2...
You play an MMO to play solo, well, these are not the games for you.
Good riddance.
Why you even star to play mmo game then everebody knows what group contens is the major part of mmo?
Solo players are a huge part of the mmo landscape and have been for years since wlel before GW2. MMOs are not just for people to do grouped content with.

Aliera Zero – Guardian / Reaver Zero – Necro

What can’t you exactly solo?
I haven’t had to group for ANYTHING other than random players once in a while showing up to kill a few things.
And no, modern MMOs are casual simple solo machines, a true MMORPG is not meant to be a solo game.
Clearly MMORPGS aren’t for you, you do realize there are amazing games like Skyrim, and so on for SOLO players?
MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online.
It doesn’t mean “Have to play with others”. You guys have no idea what an MMO is. An MMO just means you are playing with other people playing the same game as you in the same environment. It does not mean that you are forced to play with those same players to accomplish anything. It is optional.
People play MMOs for many different reasons. Being able to socialize with others while gaming in the same world is one example. It doesn’t mean they absolutely HAVE to play with other players, just that they are in an environment with other players. Playing solo in an MMO is perfectly fine if that is the choice you wish to take.
The OP is right though. HoT was designed with groups/zergs in mind. If you haven’t actually seen the events, they are all zerg events or mass group events (pretty much the same thing).

Oh you mean like how Silverwastes worked? or every other zone with events? or dungeons? or fractals? or PvP? or WvW? or World Bosses?
Hmm, yeah, those didn’t need other people in them.
Hurr durr burr

Not sure what you’re trying to argue here, as I just made a general statement, not a complaint. Yes, HoT was designed for groups. Just like those zones you mentioned, but most events in the older zones could easily be soloed. Scaling was a thing remember? Even most of the events in Silverwaste could be soloed as well.
PvP you could go into solo. You didn’t have to make groups to be able to join PvP. You queued up solo. So that doesn’t fall into the category.
So, what exactly is the point you’re trying to make here?

You don’t have to make a group for any of this?
I haven’t made a single group and I’m almost done the entire story, have done most events and getting all hero points right now.
What groups? If you really think this is difficult content, you’re just terrible.
The only issue I can see anyone ever bring up is the fact that it’s artificially gated behind the mastery system.

The point (I think) the OP is trying to make, is that the content is designed for group/zerg play. You don’t have to actually be IN a group, but pretty much all events and challenges require multiple people to complete. Require, not optional.
I don’t think they mean you literally have to make a group, but more on the lines of you need a group of people to do the content. There is no means for the solo player (on their own, not with other players around) to do any of the content.
It’s not a matter of difficulty or being bad at the game, it’s just a simple fact that none of the content for HoT was designed for single player. You require other players to assist in order to complete any of the events and most hero challenges.

You are not forced to play new maps with brand new elite spec, you still can play old maps with old builds. Or new maps with old builds.
Why do people come on the forums to declare that they’re leaving? Why not just stop playing?
