I’m not sure if RoF is impossible. Now Eredon Terrace, THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE! I transferred last week to Sorrow’s Furnace, who looked to be 15K ahead of Darkhaven at the time. I figured that way I could finish green poi’s the next week.. but Darkhaven decided that wasn’t going to happen(hard) and so once again I’m on the red side. I’m not saying it should be easy but it seems silly that someone battling it out in WvWvW for months still can’t get map comp. yet someone lucky enough to be on a server that moves up and down in the tier just waltzes through and gets map comp. without even breaking a sweat. For an individual achievement, my opinion is that it’s way too dependent on how many people play WvWvW on your server and how well they perform. I’m just going to have to wait it out because I’m not getting bilked for another transfer just for a superfluous little star by my name.

I’ve been trying to learn to run Arah(P3 for tokens) but so far all I’ve gotten are rejections from lfgs. I understand them not wanting to shoulder or carry anyone and risk failing but I would like the chance to gain some experience if someone(anyone really) would be willing to take me along.
I have a lvl 80 War(knight/zerk) and lvl 80 Necro(rabid stat) both in full exotic(except for secondary weapon sets that are rares which may disqualify me from some groups) that I could take depending on preference.
Normally I wouldn’t post on here to find a group but since it does seem to be tough finding Arah groups, and I don’t think just youtubing is enough to really understand, anyone running can send me a pm if they’re in a teaching mood. =] NA Server.

I can’t speak much for the other points as everyone here seems to have done a well enough job on that already, but IMO the gold grind is a bit much in this game. In fact, I’ve pretty much reconciled that my toons will never see more than maybe one or two exotics of any kind that compliment their particular builds. For example, for my Necromancer’s build, I would require an exotic scepter with rabid stats. Well the only one available(below 100k) is Lidless Eye, which is a whopping 99 gold. I’ve only ever had 10g at any one time and that took roughly a month to acquire. If I bought gems, given the exchange rate last week, I would have needed to shell out $95 to be able to afford it. I know that people do this, but I can’t personally rationalize spending that much on a single in-game item, just for the stats.
I would run dungeons and such to try and get gold/items but the problem with that is I don’t have the gear to do so as it requires me to spend massive amounts of gold(or karma for a few particular items) to get it. Feels like I’m stuck in a Catch 22 with nothing I can do about it. Personally, this is more likely to push me away from the game rather than rev me up for a long intensive grind that spans months and months that in the end will only result in a marginally lacking reward as the toon would have only acquired ONE item. By the posts I’ve read, I know most of you had 500 gold and 300k karma by the time your first toon hit 80 and had them in full exotics, but I’m definitely not that good and I really don’t get how so many of you guys managed that. So, for now I’m just playing just for the sake of playing as “finishing” or completing a toon or even having a good toon seems an unreachable and futile goal.
I’ve only been playing for a week but so far it seems that from the beginning of the game until now where I have a couple of lvl 30 toons, the standard reward for questing and the total selling price of misc items when I return to a merchant seems to be around 1-2 silver. One toon has 1.5 gold total and the other has 1.1 gold. According to the guides I’ve read, I will require gear that will cost me well over 50 gold per toon to even have a dungeon viable build. Being a more casual player, I’m starting to feel like that could be a lost cause if I can only expect to have around 3-4 gold by the time I reach level 80..
