Guild Wars 2

Just adding my own two cents as well. Either make the NPC allies do more, drop the mob levels, or reduce the number of mobs, as it is the personal quests are just maddening to try and do alone.
And for the benefit of all, this is not because I’m just standing there either. I’ve tried it with multiple weapons and utility skills, used CC and dodges, tried to kite and play tactically, but it comes down to simple overload when it is just me versus 6+ mobs.
To be perfectly frank, for the foreseeable future I have lost all desire to do the personal quests on any of my characters.

Same for me, both the human quest to stop the bandits dumping poison in the well, and now the Sylvari quest to find Ysvelta. Playing a Human Mesmer and Sylvari Elementalist, it simply is not possible to kite and avoid the hordes of enemies that get thrown at you, especially as they are all even leveled with you.
If the personal quests are supposed to be ‘about you’ why are half of them impossible to solo? I’m fine with it being a challenge, but throwing 16 mobs at me, all the same level as me, with two NPCs that die in literally ten seconds despite my efforts to protect them, is not challenge, it’s just mindless and painful difficulty.
