Now I’m fine with the game running at low-ish FPS in heavily populated areas, but ever since I’ve upgraded to Windows 10, the whole game also seems to slow down in a weird way. I’m getting mouse lag and everything I do and see seems to be delayed at 50 FPS and below, which can make things pretty aggravating.
Yeah, I’m not buying it. See, had you posted something reasonable like this instead of trying to ridicule me for, oh I dunno, “begging” for money, I might be open to the idea that some of this forum’s community aren’t as elitist as I assumed. However you blew your chance, and you know what they say about first impressions.
So please, don’t feel offended if I tell you to take a hike. Because from what I’ve seen you’re no better than those “bad apples” you’re speaking of.
I love how your in here saying how great it is that dungeons got nerfed while simultaneously begging for 670 gold in other threads.
Top kek.
Given that I’ve posted this request in the “Gifting Strangers” thread, haven’t run a single dungeon in 2 years (due to the general toxicity of the community, as demonstrated by your very post), and earned half of the requested gold myself already by running fractals and ascended material crafting… what was the point of your post again, other than trying to be insulting?
Edit: I probably should update my post in that thread though, so thank you for reminding me.
I love how I’m representative of the ‘toxic’ dungeon community when I have never kicked someone for gear, never once kicked someone for their class, and actively argue with party members who do that garbage. But go ahead call me ‘toxic’. It is easier to put someone into a single word category than to actually know them.
The point of my post is to point out how selfish your mentality is. You seem to like to just be given rewards, without working towards them (why else beg?). That’s fine. I think we all do to an extent. But some players who like actively working towards a goal by playing a portion of the game got their favorite content nerfed, and your happy about it. Not just happy, but actually rubbing it in their faces, and gloating. Its a typical case of, ‘everyone should be forced to play like me’.
If anet ever removed gifting, and you made a thread asking for it back, I would totally support you, because I want you to be able to play how you want (even though it’s not the way I play). But anet stopped me from playing how I want, and your happy about it. Worse yet, your actively gloating about it.
Firstly, what part of “I’ve earned half of the gold on my own” don’t you understand?
Secondly, if me having made that request actually offends you in any way, shape or form, I apologize.
Thirdly, yes. I am in fact happy dungeons are a thing of the past. And if you actually think I’m “gloating” or being abusive because of that, you probably haven’t been on this forum for long. Or only started reading them recently.

So many posts about dungeons and has Anet even responded to us? I really hope they read these posts and realize people loved dungeons and still want to do them!!
Meh. If the community loved dungeons as much as you claim, they’d still be running them on a regular basis even with the decreased rewards.
Guess they really were more of a chore, after all.
Hello everyone, this is kind of a big request but I’m currently saving up for “Infinite Light” (around 300 gold to go)*. I’m totally fine with earning it on my own of course, however if any kind soul would like to make a donation, it’d be appreciated.
I should probably mention that I don’t get to play as much as I used to anymore (also I’m, like, really casual), but if anyone would be up for a trade of sorts, I’m sure we can work something out.
Only the dungeon community would exploit/glitch an encounter and pretend it’s skillful play.
It’s just sad.
Is a pvp-player exploiting when he runs away from another player so his melee attacks wont hit?
Typical lopsided logic. I mean, I get why people do it, but if you’re going to try and justify it, at least try and come up with an argument that makes some actual sense.
Doing damage is an exploit, why else do you think Arena Net introduced Nomad armor, the ultimate armor for real dungeon runners who don’t want to exploit by doing filthy, filthy damage.
I see the solution now: it’s to force everyone to wear Nomad armor, just like the elitists tried to make everyone wear Berserker armor. That way no one can do any damage, and we can all do dungeons the way Arena Net intended.
Oh, grow up.
Look, I get that this forum’s regulars are pro-stacking and tend to flip their kitten when it is brought up. But this goes beyond reasonable, straight past ridiculous, and over to the extreme side of sad. Please stop.
I love it. The OP can vomit his crybaby anti stacking bile and nobody says anything, but the moment someone makes a post on his level they’re called sad and told to stop. I hate this forum sometimes.
Our fault, is it? Last time I checked, it’s mostly the pro-stacking players flaunting thinly-veiled insults and making a mockery of anyone who’s not agreeing. Feel free to complain to them about the sorry state of this forum.
Edit:
I know this seems like a "let’s just be friends idea, but you deal realize that giving them hugs would involve a ‘taboo’ bit of stacking they are strongly against. “Play How I Wants” are adamantly against hugging for obvious reasons!

Wow, that insult came out of nowhere. Please, allow me to quote a very famous webcomic artist:
“Also, as a rule of thumb, if you find yourself defending your inalienable right to make someone else feel like garbage, you’re on the wrong side of the argument.”
Please, just leave.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2 <- You will find many like-minded people there. Go post your opinions there and they will kittenoed*hundreds of times. I can assure you that.
No. I’ll leave after I’ve said my piece. Which will be just about now.
You want proof about stacking not being intended? There’s no need to get a developer for this, because it’s in the game already. Living story has implemented plenty of mechanics specifically to get people out of this mindset. And it’s only continuing to grow stronger, what with new fractals, open world bosses and the PvE content being released. Of course, there’ still the dungeons. But they’re a lost cause, and the A-Net developers seem to be smart enough to realize this, and rather focus their funds and time on improved content.
In conclusion, I’d say that’s all the evidence needed.
Well, leaving now. I’ve made my point, and anything else would just result in going around in circles.

If it weren’t for ANet’s complete lacking of caring about stacking on bosses, I would almost call most of this stacking an exploit. Boss mechanics are in the game for a reason, and I’m disappointed that nothing has been done to enforce that. Dungeons are getting pathetically easy and are a nothing but a 2-second means to an end. It’s bred an exceptionally annoying brand of elitist players who think that stacking that boss in full zerker gear is the only way to play the game, and if you disagree you’re an idiot and don’t belong in their dungeon. My problems are, as follows:
1. It makes it go faster, and being ‘ranged’ is just as easy. First off, no. If ranged was just as easy as stacking, everyone would be ranged instead of stacking. Second, does it make sense to you people that you should all stand on top of a boss and that means you don’t have to do anything else all fight except hit your same three buttons over and over? I don’t care if it makes your life easier. Exploiting a bug to dupe legendaries would make this game easier too. Would you do it?
2. “If you don’t want stacking, write no stacking” is the weakest and most common response I have seen on this board. Most people don’t post this tag in their LFG title. Spoiler alert, the LFG text box is only so big and it’s a freaking waste of time to try and make an acronym for every little tag out there. BZ, EXP, SPD, ST is just getting ridiculous.
3. It is indeed breeding a less intelligent flavor of player. The weeaboos of the world are running around with Dungeon titles to compliment their fuzzy animal hats, then stacking in every poison / fire red circle known to man because WHATS A MECHANIC? Y DID THAT FIRE KILL ME? Yes, you might think it’s making your dungeons faster, but those are the same idiots making you fail every non-TTS teq in the fecking game.
tl;dr – Don’t actually care about any of the above, because ANet certainly doesn’t. Continue doing your daily dungeons by stacking together because then you can get done doing them faster… so you can do more. Don’t go play any other MMO, because people will laugh at you the minute you QQ that you can’t kill a boss in less than 20 seconds. Bosses are challenging in the big scary world out there.
Actually, if you knew how to play without stacking, you’d realize that this statement only applies to a selected few bosses. Heck you can even do it without the PVT armour.
Basically all you’re doing is prove the OP’s point.
Just by being in melee range you are stacked. So playing without stacking would mean ranging.
Let him be.
He probably doesn’t want to cheat by using the logical reasoning exploit.
Honestly, I won’t bother. There’s no reasonable debate to be had, only a handful of so-called “pro” players belittling and rediculing others for not seeing things exactly their way. Add the outlandish arguments (“if you melee you’re stacked”; seriously, what the hell?) and I can see myself wasting more time and energy here than is entirely healthy.
So you know what? I don’t care. Things haven’t changed for the better part of a year, and I don’t have enough time to waste on a useless internet argument. Unless A-Net changes how stacking works, people will believe that it’s the intended way to play, and they will fight tooth-and-nail trying to justify it. And, if more recent boss battles are any indication, the developers are indeed trying to get away from the whole “stacking meta”, which I personally can only see to be beneficial for the whole game.
So I’m just going to relax, lean back, and wait for things to improve. I don’t have any illusions about A-Net re-vamping the old dungeons but who knows, maybe they’ll surprise us.
God, dont you get tired of those “stacking is fine, we dont need skillful gameplay, we want games that hold our hand and give us fast reward with little effort” replies ? I mean comeon we all got it that YOU think that stacking is fine. I personally dont think it is. But thats what i think and your point of view is what YOU think. So please do us a favor and stop crying because people want to some challenge in their game. Why are you even replying, you get tons of people stacking so you can play the way you want! Have fun. cough
Because challenge equals to going full PVT and kiting every enemy to death with ranged weapons.

Between this thread and the guardian AH is good thread I cant… I just.. I’m gonna. I dont… I just. No.
Oh relax, I’m just voicing my opinion here. Besides, I don’t support Altruistic Healing at all (and yes, guardian is my main), so I guess we have that in common.
a stacking thread that addresses it as a system problem? never seen one of these before…
You know what it is, they want to run with capable players but not be told to stack. When capable players are the ones that know why you stack, when to stack, and understand that there’s more going on than just attacking and pressing F. Deep down each and every person that hates to stack knows that if they run with a no stack group it will go terrible. That’s why they don’t party up with other anti-stackers. This is the only explanation I have as to why a no stack guild fails, and nontacking players don’t want to form parties together. Basically they are asking to be carried.
they will shout “Save us!”… and I’ll look down and whisper “No.”
Call me an optimist, but I’m sure that if stacking were to be removed today, people would still be able to adapt and beat the dungeons. (There was a time where people didn’t stack, you know, and we still managed fine). Thing is it’s so prevalent these days, it has pretty much become the norm to play.
I mean nobody is stacking in Fractals (mostly because it’s largely ineffective), and yet it still gets beaten by PUGs. No reason it wouldn’t work for dungeons.
The ones who stack now and understand stacking will be the first ones to adapt if Anet waved a magic wand and made stacking disappear.
You can still stack in fractals I do it all the time. You can’t stack in every situation in fractals but then again you don’t have to stack in every dungeon situation either.
I was mostly talking about stacking at bosses, but you’re right of course. Frankly it’s downright needed at some places.

This stacking conversation is becoming a thread a day. It’s getting out of hand. #StackingThreadOP
So people are complaining about stacking on a (near) daily basis, and you still think it’s okay?
I think that the people complaining have absolutely no idea what stacking really is. I think they’re just talking about Spider Queen in AC and have really no idea what stacking is for.
Oh, I do understand what it is for. I just find it hard to believe that it’s been intended in the first place, and players have gotten so used to it by now, they’re fighting tooth and nail to justify it.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, it’s just the way I see it.
There’s the occassional bad apple too, but I generally find fractals to be a more pleasant experience.
