Guild Wars 2

I think you need to review the design of the silverwastes before making any other maps of this type.

Getting verbally abused by a gaggle of chest farmers because they don’t want the zone event to progress is not particularly a positive experience. The farm-ability of the zone as a zerg collecting chests is too rewarding and seems to breed players who harbor contempt for any other play style. (this was a post 50% progress zone)

The Silverwastes Maps are divided by the Community into two Types of Maps. One is an Event Map and the other is a Chest Farm map. First, ask if this Map is a CF or Event Map. It makes everything much easier. Or use the LFG Tool to join the Silverwastes Map you want to participate
Second, even a 50% Progress Zone can be a Chest Farm Map because certain Events are completed by the Zerg to get more Crests and Shovels and thus filling the Progress Bar.

I’m not sure why anyone would ever complain about people doing events in a chest farm map. Even chest farmers should be happy to do the Breach / VW once it pops. They in themselves give loot, and then you get a bonus to your chest loot afterwards.

It sucks to be the one doing the events in such a map because you aren’t getting much help and are basically just opening up the breach / VW for the people that are only scaling up the events around you, but… yah.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen one or two chest farm maps complain about events too, but I don’t understand the reasoning for it.

I doubt chest farmers complain about people trying to do the events, I doubt they even notice or care. Sure you didn´t try “convincing” them to stop farming and join your endeavour, as in telling them how the game is to be played correctly?

@Walhalla – That’s the point of my post, there is a divide in “how to play the map” and some players get abusive towards the others.

@Electro – I agree, doesnt make any sense

@Algreg – nope.
