Guild Wars 2

Everyone can complain about balance all they want, but in the end Balance is not this games problem. Balance will change constantly and people will adapt, I have faith they always balanced fairly well in the end with GW1.

The real issue with GW2 is much deeper then that and at this point I have to say for the first time, I am not enjoying the game. This game has taken away everything that I look for in a mmo mostly these things fall under 1 heading “Community”.

Everything is for the solo player in this game, unless you count wvwvw which is the only real group ranking.

Solo Leaderboards
Solo Queueing
Solo pvp everything
Solo Dragon Farming “you don’t need to talk to any of the mass pugs there”

Pretty much all Team based things that are in the game are not very good. Guild bounties, dungeons etc.

The only ones that really group in PvP are the high ranked people who want to compete at a high level and only except rank 45 or higher players. “which is fine of coarse”

Myself the average player or even below average player I can ask in map chat for hours in the best tpvp server in the game Anvil rock and I will want people run by me and solo queue.

The reason why people say the game is failing or lots of people have left is very simple, Community keeps people around, guildies or competitors or just friends.

I think having solo Leaderboards before you have Team ones is a mistake it just promotes people not playing together outside odd guilds here and there and the very top players.

Also some sort of raid group option for wvwvw only makes sense. I know this is the s/tpvp forum which is why I am actually making this rant there was a few other things I wanted to add.

p.s the Mists needs 1 server the community for spvp and tpvp atleast to me seems to small. When I was on gates of madness things were very dead.

In an attempt to fix things at least for myself and others I have created a guild that sole purpose is for finding groups for Tpvp.

The ranks in guild are changed weekly to reflect your current standing on the leaderboard. This guild will serve 2 purposes, finding groups for everyone that wants to join. “really I don’t care if people represent or not”

Also Teams that are looking to recruit a new member or whatever are more then welcome, this way you can see how people are doing on the actual leaderboard when you try them out.

The end goal of coarse is finding groups to play with and hopefully maybe even creating more teams.

that’s awesome you’re starting this. just so you know, it’s not AS bad as you think. i may only be one person, but i do ask always in map chat is anyone wants to group up for tPvP and my guild as well. at dragon events, i always try to chat lol but all i ever “get in return” (not even) and peolpe linking their loot.

most arenas i’ve joined now actually have more sustenance than past hotjoins. sure 10v10 can get chaotic, but you’ll get the occasional leader or two that speak up and call out tactics and more peolpe have chimed in than ever before.

so i think the game is not ONLY solo oriented. and i do enjoy the grouped events / instances as well. but te game could definitely use more pro-active-ness in this area. good luck!!
