So, here’s my 2 cents.

I play GW2 since its beginning. It used to be fun, until last week. I had really nothing to complain about. I am a casual player, (2-3hrs/day, not everyday, depending on RL schedules) so I enjoyed casually leveling characters and doing this and that, a bit of everything.

The gear update I found nice, the skill update was fine for me, but the synchronised bosses with the masses of people doing them is simply awful. I used to like doing bosses with a limited amount of people, they were still a challenge, and it felt like active play. Everyone had a role, each person did something different, and it was challenging and rewarding.We all needed to use our brains and different skills.

I’ve been trying to do the same the last 4 days and found out that that style of gameplay is dead. The “new” boss events are overcrowded, I lag all the time and I can barely see the boss in the mass of bodies around it. I can only hope i have enough DPS, because the bosses healthbar just melts away before i get from 1 to 5.

So before, we maybe had a problem with too few people at an event, now…I just hope I can target one mob and land a hit so the pre-event counts for me.

Can someone please tell me what the point is in having different races and professions and a wide array of skills, when a boss can be killed by a zerg armed with broken fangs?
What’s the point in investing time and effort (and gold) into getting all the flashy/shiny gear only to see that some bosses can be killed by enough people wielding garden hoes?

Many are the strange chances of the world
and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak
when the Wise falter.
