Guild Wars 2

I find fractals and other instances doable, but certainly wouldn’t describe them as “easy” compared to many WoW instances (which is my baseline).

Compared to WoW (if I may), individual GW2 dungeon encounters take a lot more time than the average 5-man non-heroic boss, simply because of the huge (comparatively) pool of HP’s of most mobs. What this boils down to is you have to not only go through the correct motions to contribute to a fight; you have to repeat them a lot more than I’m used to

Don’t let other people’s skill (well, gaming skill – if only life came with a joystick ) put yours in a bad light, just go with content best suited to you, and have fun, you’ll improve without doubt.

Maybe it’s your class ? For example, I find surviving in instances on my mesmer far easier than on my warrior, and easier on my thief too. Open-world, the survivability of my guardian (and mesmer) easily trumps that of my thief and warrior, up to and including soloing champions.

So maybe try a some other professions and/or weapons ?

We got these awesome cities, mostly abandoned because, well, all the action is in LA and it’s free to get there with just a five second detour through the Mists.

Why not have the option to select one of the cities as our home and have a free teleport there, if only so the obviously massive amount of work you guys put into all the cities isn’t completely wasted, as it is right now ? Alternatively, just add portals to all the cities to the central Mists hub ? Include Ebonhawke, for good measure, I love to start my morning dailies in a city full of yawning (NB. why does everybody in Ebonhawke sound like they’re either bored or very, very sleepy?)

Having free portals available in LA evidently isn’t enough to get more people to use the TP, bank etc. in the other cities, and I think it’s a real shame, if only because it robs me of more opportunities to fall to my death in Rata Sum – the little fella is clumsy like that.
