Guild Wars 2

This is a pretty simple request.

Please stop adding achievements to this game that are based on other people’s skill level or ability.

I like to complete the achievements set forth in this game, every one of them. I simply can’t do that when I have to kill some big boss with no one getting eaten in an cocoon.

People don’t listen, the average player doesn’t read and does not want to be helped.

Its very aggravating that this is the last one I need and I camp this event all day and some random person causes it to fail.

I honestly believe that the majority of our playerbase is illiterate. No matter how much you ask them to not do something in map chat, in say chat or in a whisper, they just keep on trucking.

Failed a lot of holograms fights because of two to three players that wouldn’t stop attacking a color when asked to.

There’s an in-game chat feature? … wow!

and what’s this bit about ‘not’ attacking?

I think its nice theres options. And all the achievement ARE optional. I can get lucky with my fellow players and do all LS achieves in a day or two, or I must spend some days trying, or maybe not getting them all. Its life.
A lot of people like to do things in a group, solving stuff in cooperation, demanding they have to do it solo isnt an option in my eyes.
Besides, some of the raging I’ve seen in chat isnt excactly asking nice for help.

To be fair it is supposed to be a MMO. Making every single Achievement available by solo-play would be quite silly.

In situations like this, pop the command tag then give written commands in map chat. The command tag is a very important tool to use during these large events. If you don’t have a tag, purchase a tag from the trainers listed here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Commander%27s_Compendium

A majority of players start listening to commands from a player who has this tag.

When I led the charge against the Toxic Spider Queen in LA, I popped the tag and told everyone to range the enemy. Everyone listened, and we all got the achievement.

I do the same thing for the Knights. Some folks don’t realize that the Knights have Condition Reflect during some parts of the battle. So I tell people when to attack with conditions and when to use regular attacks.
