I have quit PvE and have decided to get back into WvW. I’m looking for a WvW guild on NA to do weekly and/or daily raids with. I haven’t played WvW in over a year or so. I’m currently on Sea of Sorrows but willing to transfer if I can find the right guild. I’m willing to learn and will run meta builds/classes if need be. Leave a message below or PM HungInc.1864
Personally, I’m not looking forward to it. While I’ve spent my time raiding, have beaten all bosses multiple times, got the “pro-kids” title and so on and so forth, I count myself to the part of the community who thinks that introducing raids into GW2 has been a huge mistake and is a waste of valuable resources. Both dungeons and fractals – in their original state – were what I considered healthy content for this kind of game: While good groups progressed faster and could therefore net more rewards within the same amount of time, the content was also accessible to less experienced groups, at a much slower pace of course. The group size of five meant less initial planning/waiting and while roles were still present, it was not as strict as it is now in raids.
As far as I’m concerned, the hardcore minority who wanted raids is still not satisfied, wants more of a challenge and generally more, while I personally believe that they should simply have moved on to another game long ago. I hope you guys enjoy the initial challenge before you put it on farm and then go back to logging in once a week to clear the two raid wings. Hey, maybe if you’re lucky, it’s long enough that you’ll be busy for two evenings a week now.
On the other hand, a far larger pool of average players who got hyped by raids thinking that these are the new dungeons, got a very harsh reality check with a few nice community-enforced rules on top (insights, eternal, …) that make any sort of stuff we dungeoneers used to put on the lfg look feeble in comparison. This boils down to initial advertising of course, I’m fairly sure that these players expected – unjustified or not is irrelevant here – to be able to play raids (and I don’t mean wiping on first boss with that) when they did the HoT purchase.
That said, personally I couldn’t care less about raid exclusivity IF there was still a similar amount of work put into dungeons and fractals. But as long as dungeons are officially dead and fractals as stale as ever, I believe that we’re missing some kind of middle ground for raids. If these are the only instanced content being worked on, I sure expect them to be accessibly to a larger crowd. Multiple difficulties have been suggested, amongst many other things I’m sure. Until then, don’t mind me for not cheering for any new raid wings.
^ Pretty much this. Raids are the “end-game” content that we login once a week for >.> . Even so, I can’t even do that anymore…
Your so called pros will have had 2 raid wings since hot,what have the rest of the players who payed for this expansion had? sweet f all.
Technically there has only been one raid wing since HoT -.- . As for the rest of the players who paid for the expansion? Well… they got four new maps to do events on and raids too.
Hi everyone,
I’m relatively new to the dungeon scene and I’m looking for a dungeon guild that will help me learn dungeons. I have a guardian, warrior and an elementalist all of which are level 80 however, I’m not sure if any of them are geared and/or traited appropriately for dungeons. My timezone is GMT +10 but you may see me online around reset depending on my schedule. Feel free to contact HungInc.1864 in-game or leave a message here. Thanks in advance =]

It’s not time but number of entries. Note that if you bought stacks of mats and they dribbled in a few at a time, each one of those is a entry. My sales history goes back around 8 days buy my buy history is barely two, because of all the mats I buy, coming in a few at a time.
Mine won’t either – all it says is “initializing” – and then it disappears. Happened a bit after they logged us all out to do some work on the game. :/
I got same problem like you… After “initializing” and the menu banner disappears and NOTHING Happen but it’s still drain CPU and making my pc slow.
It’s happen after the september feature pack… Arena Net please fix it so we can play again. :/
Good luck getting it back up, I uninstalled, tried re-installing and still no go(it won’t even INSTALL since this patch), soooo, it may just STAY UNINSTALLED now. Thanks guys for ruining the game for many.
