Guild Wars 2

Please never do anything like this again.

I only have so much time to throw at PvP. With a season on, I’d rather put that time to working on ranked, but with the temporary Capricorn achievements on I have to divide my time. Half the time another map gets picked (today it was 9 to 1 and still the 1 got picked). If I want some quick dailies done I go to hotjoin, the Capricorn achievements are the only reason I’m in unranked arena. I can’t just leave and try again because it’s unfair to my team to leave in arena, so now I’m just throwing this time away.

I’m not opposed to temporary achievements as a concept, but forcing me to gamble on even attempting them saps any presence of “fun” from this effort. As a solo queue let’s face it, it’s already largely a coin toss whether I’ll be on the winning team or not. I don’t need a second coin toss to make it so that it’s basically a 75% chance that every attempt will be a waste of time for these limited-time achievements.

Temporary achievements shouldn’t even be a thing anymore. Hasn’t Anet learned anything from LW1? I don’t see why the Capricorn achievs can’t stay in the game forever. Having newer players have an insurmountable disadvantage in AP aquisition is a very poor decision.
