Living Story and Gimmicks

First off, this is not a troll post, this is my honest and, somewhat frustrated, opinion.

Why are the fight pieces of the living story so gimmicky? Are they better as a group rather than solo?

Why does every new map have a new gimmick? Is the core game on that much of a shaky ground that you need something silly like launching platforms or bloodstone gliding silliness in every bloody map?

I finally finished Head of the Snake, and am frustrated. The new story is top notch and interesting, and a kitten ed sight better than “Lyssa be kitten ed” from days past (though that voice acting made me shoot beer through my nose.) Those bits are fun and enjoyable, but why is every sequence in between where I am actually playing in the instance so kitten ed annoying? Red circles everywhere, stability ignored, constant knockbacks, oh and use these skills/gimmick that are unique to this map/instance, or better yet, just throw some random chats about using unknown combos that are next to impossible to figure out in the moment (looking at you Aurene.) Why? Am I missing some key ingredient by playing solo?

Masteries- good in concept, kitten ed annoying in practice for the LS. And, yes, this would probably have less salt if I liked the Spyro mini games from HoT (though if I did, I would hook up the old PS1 and play Spyro) and/or wanted to spend my few gaming hours each week watching you tube videos and learning to git good and raid or some such, but again, gimmick. A new one every map and worse, if you don’t have ley line you spend hours longer getting anywhere (and need even more mastery points)? Really?

Am I just doomed because my friends have left the game due to the above, or? What am I missing ( this is an honest question, and I have tried taking a break for the last month and want to care and am drawn back to play but am constantly frustrated when I do come back)?

This does not seem to be on a random interval. In Auric Basin, complete an event, most likely event 2 in the 3 event direction chain, then d/c. So far completed event 2 north (druid) d/c- error- map reset- re-connect at entry point ( 4 times.) Just tried West, event 2 of 3- d/c- reconnect entry point. By entry, I mean entry from VB.

Either they are encountering some massive DDoS, or a wacky bug just hit.

Stability change

The changes to the standard LB/GS RAO build for WvW are a bit harsh in that I am getting ganked whereas yesterday I could run through the zerg and live. With the stability change, help me brainstorm armor/weapon changes to add sustain and damage without sacrificing dps.
