Guild Wars 2

Just recently bought the game. Love just about everything, story, combat, graphics, etc. I am having a major issue with respawn timers. Now, I started a Charr Warrior (L15) and I started to notice around level 8 that the respawn timer on some mobs was completely INSANE. I have ran into about half a dozen different Heart Quests, 1 skill point event and 1 Vista so far in the Charr starting area that the mobs would respawn within seconds of killing them. My biggest trouble was at the Ascalon City Ruins where as I was clearing up to the skill point commune and I couldn’t even kill a mob before everything that I just killed had already respawned. It makes it extremely difficult to achieve any goals this way (took me over 2 hours to finally get it). Now, I am on a quest at the Ruins of Oldgate where I have to watch this dude’s back while he does his thing and when he starts he draws the attention of 4 mobs. IF I manage to survive, I can’t even turn my toon to look at the guy I’m protecting to see if he is still alive before I am being shot in the back by the exact mobs I just killed!

Now, I did manage to try and find if ArenaNet was making any changes to this but the latest date that I saw was 11 months ago. This seems like a fairly common and annoying problem that quite frankly, should have been fixed by now. I get it, you are trying to make the group events harder, but instead of asking players to report where they are having problems, how about actually just going through the whole game and trying to fix it? Yeah, I know, there are a LOT of mobs out there to try and fix but isn’t that what your programmers are getting paid for? You know the group events that you want to make harder for groups, so you also know where people are playing solo and need the respawn timers changed to progress in the game.

Please get this fixed. I don’t want to put this game on the shelf because of a stupid like thing like this but it is undeniably annoying and frustrating.
