Guild Wars 2

Yeah recently hit 72, and thought “Why not go to Orr, see what the end game is like”. That was the last time I played about a week ago. I’ve enjoyed GW2 and Orr is a neat concept (pure DE for content) that is a train wreck in it’s current implmentation. Goldfarmers and botters at every DE, bugs as far as the eye can see, and then there is the tagging issue, to wit bring an AoE or go home empty handed. The game isn’t ruined for me, but I just don’t feel like completing the grind in it’s current state. I’ll check back in a month and see how things are then.

I’ve always done fairly well in DE in the past, I think I’ve only gotten silver or bronze when i showed up near the end. However, I participated in the dragon DE in Sparkfly Fens last night and got robbed. Had to be 70 or so players at the event, and I was stoked to be part of such a large group.

I was buffing and debuffing, rezzing people, the normal stuff I do at a mid-sized DE, and to my suprise and consternation, the event ended and I got nothing at all. I was livid, 20 minutes of waiting, 15ish minutes of fighting, to end up getting screwed because I was a nice guy to my fellow players.

I’m more collected now, but would like ot hear that A-Net is at least looking into it, because currently being a selfish player who wouldn’t rez someone you’re fighting on top of is currently the blessed play style. This is a terrible flaw in a muti-player game.
