Guild Wars 2

I feel your pain….I’ve played guild wars since the launch of gw1 and i’ve always loved this game, but the inability to play the game as anet actually said it could be played is genuinely frustrating. I’ve played this game for 7 yrs and 3 months into GW2 I am seriously considering giving it up.

In previous statement from Anet it was expressed that gameplay would be scaled to party size and that players would be able to play solo or in party…this is not the case. The presence of automatic events and events spawned by players that were not completed are adversely affecting gameplay. Anet may have purposely designed game event to behave in this mannor, but I believe that this will lead to an early death of GW2. The notion that Anet intended to “force” players to band together to do events is preposterous…you cannot force ppl to play the way you want them to.

Perhaps the unintended consequence that Anet did not forsee is that most players do not feel that they should have to contend with events that they did not create. Anet took steps to prevent “griefing” (players making it harder on others by activating adverse conditions such as events)…but the design of automatic events and the lack of scaling on solo play is the same thing.
