It takes literally a few minutes to redo the Karka Queen. Most jumping puzzles can be portaled with mesmers, and there are often mesmers portaling them. I’m not sure why it’s so hard to get more points for you, but many of them aren’t that hard.
By contrast the story achievement rewards are considered hard y a lot of people
You know, I have done all jumping puzzles but the one in Silverwastes. And yes, Karka Queen is no problem. But that is 2 points, when to be able to craft one of the new legendaries I would need 12 points. At the end of the day the question is – is this game fun for me, and do I want to keep spending my time in it? If something is not fun, and impacting my enjoyment seriously enough, I will try and let the devs know about it. Which I am doing here. And that has nothing whatsoever to do with how much (or not) you enjoy the game, nor will you trying to dismiss my experience as invalid help matters in the slightest.
Great response, I agree. We have a right to express our opinion in the forum as long as our posts are within the rules.
I am in a very small guild of friends who used to play regularly. We all had different schedules but every now and then our schedules aligned and we enjoyed playing GW2 together. As HoT approached, Anet started neglecting the game. No new stuff or even replay of old Festivals until the expansion came out. After a while, my friends and I started playing less and less. Finally, Halloween and then the Expansion. We come back only to discover that Anet has decided that our Guild doesn’t count. Since 3 of us are hardly on at one time, and we only party up about half the time as we are often working on different stuff, our Guild is dead. So much for playing as I enjoy.
And the same goes for Mastery Points. It isn’t a question of whether I can find a way to do them. It is a question of whether it will be fun.
I am the guild leader of a small guild of friends, we had already researched all the items we wanted for our guild. We had no problem buying and setting out banners regularly. BUT it would seem MY guild ALSO did not matter. We all still play but we are unable to claim a guild hall will no more than 3 of us on at any given time and we lost ALL our ability to make banners. We are very dissatisfied with the direction ArenaNet has taken GW2. It would seem the authors are pandering to the WvW/PvP crowd and has completely forgotten us, the PvE players. It truly makes me sad as I have for years supported GW2 and ArenaNet with an average of $50 every month. I do not believe I will bother any longer since me and my guild do not matter to them.
