Guild Wars 2

This whole loot drop issue is really getting to me. I am trying to level a thief, and in the process I did all 5 starter zones to try to get armour/weapons for my thief. I am currently level 32 and am struggling in the low ends of a 15-25 zone because my armour/weapons are still not good enough for that area.

Events are not solo-able, foes get my health down fast even one on one and when I break agro to heal, they heal as well When will the loot issue be accepted and fixed because it makes levelling a painful experience.

Have you heard about crafting and Trading Post?

You can gear up on the TP, or craft your own, for fairly cheap actually, as long as you don’t mind blues and greens (but really whats the point of anything more until you hit 80 anyway?).

That said my first couple characters “found” enough gear to equip them decently well, but more recently that hasn’t been the case, and I keep finding myself having to hit the TP or crafting station quite a bit more frequently, even with saved gear from other characters.

I’ve recently (like this week) been using a new character slot to fiddle around with random characters (on my sixth one now), seeing how fast I can complete their racial starter zone with only found gear, and have found that most characters, by the time they’re done, have no more than a couple pieces of gear—counting weapons—within 2 levels of their character level.

I didn’t have anywhere near the same difficulty finding basic, level appropriate (or very close) gear with my first few characters, started months ago.

Perhaps it’s something to do with the diminishing returns code. More junk drops after a while is essentially the same as less useful drops over time. (Yes, I know, pretty insightful of me, eh? ;-))

Yes i’ve made i thief too, i also notice the general total lack of needed loot drops in game, personally glad i started playing 4 months ago and not now i’d drop the game in heart beat with such a terrible way of progression this game now has.
