Guild Wars 2

Today I joined 2 groups be able to enter in silverwastes, then I couldnt join another group for about 10 minutes. Now I tried to join a group for sw again, but the game load me in a different instance because the map was full. So I tried to join a group for TEQ and I cannot, its more than 30 minutes and i cannot play.
Its not our fault if we join groups and the ones who own the group (created it) kick us out, our your instances are filled up.

The game is unplayable and its a horrible thing not be able to join a group and play. If you didnt wanted people to join groups, for teq, for cf, for anything… You shouldnt give the content the way it is. If I have to suggest the game to a friend, I will warn him, that most of times he wont be able to play.

Remove the living world content from group finding… Find a new way for it.

Maps have caps, if you want to do those events that are busy, you have to keep trying to join early. And the group finding isn’t the only way. Sucks you couldn’t get in, but it’s not the fault of Anet. Maps need caps, otherwise way too many people on it will cause extreme issues. Current content is always busy.

Its not that the maps getting full I understand that, its the group finding the problem, that we cannot group up… Its group unreadily game

Living world is not a dungeon, they taxi you and kick you out. Or if you join a group and the world is full, it is count as a penalty, you cannot stay in that group and smell the fresh air, you have to move out and join another group that you can actually transfer into this world. That is Anet’s fault.

Its the only mmo that I ve experienced such things. Its a motivation not to play.
Many mmos have a kind of penalty if you join pvp and abandon, for 10 minutes max… but for reasons that it is not my fault, I couldnt get in a group for over an hour! Thats ridiculous.

After I created this topic, the “join” was activated again.. I joined I played for an hour and from 11:00 up to 12:36 I couldnt join again!!!!!! I didnt joined 2-3 groups, I joined only 1 and I couldnt join after for more than an hour.

That also makes me wonder…

shall I ever join a guild? Its unfreandly to group up. I see no point.

Of course Taxi groups throw you out if you don’t leave on your own, you’re taking up a space they need to help fill the map.

They should remove living world from group finding

They have to give an option to change instance every 2-3 minutes. Ive seen that in mmos and they tell you : come to map 3, map 5, map 7…. thats how it goes!!

Its not about mining or farming materials, this is saved after all, the restrictions apply. Or else its a totally unfriendly system and they shouldnt advertise living world after you get 80. They should say instead : come and play living world BUT BECAREFULL you may not be able to play for the rest of the day.

I’m confused. You don’t need to stay in the party to stay in the map. Taxi (to a map) is just that, a taxi. You are supposed to leave the party as soon as you enter the map. Why would you need another taxi, or party?

By joining a group for a taxi I got penalty and I couldnt join other groups for hours, for over an hour the join button was inactive and it said “recently you joined many groups, wait a moment before you can join again”. The game didnt allowed me to join groups for hours. not moments or minutes.

its an known bug. restart the game helps most of the time

Its a bug? Thanks for that… I also suspected, that someone may reported me and I got long penalty.

The reason I suspected that, I got an ascended item as a drop and I was so WOOOW about it, that I linked my drop in the map and many said " gratz, good, hurray"… but also many said " get out from the map, you took what you wanted…" etc.. so I suspected that it may had to do with it. All started after that.

As Anet has stated in the past, a human will actually look at the reports. So no, you didn’t get locked out because people claimed to report you. Anet even goes towards people who abuse the report system and punishes them. False reports are just as bad as people who actually deserve to be reported. (Not reporting them I mean, but the action taken against them)

yeah its definitly an “bug”

cause sometimes i cant join lfg after two unsuccessful teq taxies and have to restart my game exe ( or it remains for up to 1hrs this status) other times i can try 8 teq/sw taxies and after that cant join for about 2 min and than it works again

- → it have to be an bug

I think it is not possible to identify this as a bug and it is up to the devs to do so.
The lock is part of the anti spam meassures. We don’t know how they work and what sets it off. I have good reasons (personal observation) they are tied together. So being muted in map cause you spammed too much also influences the timeout between mails you can sent, or how fast you can use the LFG.
Also, any observations are not constant. I believe that arenanet is actively changing the systems, depending on what is going on (if there is much activity of goldsellers, measures are increased and if the activity drops down, it is decreased again).

Never the less, it is annoying. If it can be fixed in such way that we don’t have to suffer from it and the goldspammers can’t misuse it, I’m happy.

lol same with dungeon bugs there are also no bugs and only there when the players have bad behaviour before right?

sorry but that their are only technical issues sometimes sounds much much more logical than yours. cause it works after relog as expected
