Guild Wars 2

I love the new maps, I love the how the story develops around the events in different areas of every map, i really dislike that i need to play these events for 10 to 20 hours to lvl up.
I love the guild halls, i hate the fact that small friendly guilds need to spend a lot of gold just to get 1 basic upgrade with no use for them, then even more gold to get useful stuff, my guild is level 8 and i already donated like 600 gold.
I love the new mechanics in raid bosses (they could improve some things but they are ok), i dont like that there are 0 new dungeons since thats the content that I can handle with the time I have.
Overall i see punishment to the casual community that has been supporting this game for years
I think is time for me to leave since i can only play for 1-2 hours per day and the things i do just feel like i making 0 progress in the game, I mean the game may be pretty good for some people now but its just not something for me anymore and that makes me kinda sad.

PS: I dont regret buying HoT it was a nice experience for 45 dollars

Then keep legendary armor in the current raid, and make the rest available in an easy mode raid.

Well they don’t want ascended to be so easy to get either so they’d lower the drop chance to fractal levels (aka you’d never see a drop) and then that one would suddenly be extremely unrewarding and most likely largely unplayed after beating it the first few times which isn’t great resource management.

Not to mention the raid rly isn’t that hard in its current state since it’s already been cleared in the first week.

Its only the first wing not the full raid

I dont know if this is the best way to do it, this is what i think is a good way to clear the first boss
1. Have 4 range dps, 1 druid, 1 good tank, 1 mesmer (the mesmer can be the tank).
2. The 4 range dps go to the green circle while the group stacks in the mushrooms.
3. Evade when you see the blue attack.
4. Have 1 person pushing away the red bubbles.
5. Mesmer use time rift then elite skill to give speed to the party and also skills to give alacrity and repeat after time rift.

Doing this correctly you can clear phase 1 in like a minute even with exotic gear.

6. On Phase 2 team red and green stack on the mushrooms and either evade or push the atacks while team blue goes to the circle.
7. Must likely green boss will die first so team green can go help blue.

So you must have enough time to do the remaining phases

Still need to confirm this:
I dont know if the blue atack spawns at random time but if it isnt then you can time it so you dont use a big atack (like skill 2 of warrior) just to cancel it with evasion.

I think a healing mechanic for the boss would be a lot better you still need lots of dps, you still need to fight the mechanics and you dont have to fight a timer

I can bet there are many skilled pvers that cannot get into raids simply cause of the stats of their gear

Name two. 15 characters.

I was having so much fun with me viper warrior, I can do lvl 100 fractal but no one wants a viper warrior in raid so I changed to zerker :<

I have a warrior using viper armor and sinister accessories+weapon, but after lots of failures with the first boss, because time runs out, I was wondering, is it better to switch to the old full zerker gear on warrior?
Also I want to know if for the tank I should use minstrel or commander (or something else) gear on a guardian.
Be nice I just want some tips on how to improve in order to be more useful inside raids
