I’m mildly confused by this whole thing.
I kept reading “Explo mode is not for casual” Soooo what non hardcore peoples are supposed to do in pve? Live in Orr doing events and… Well… nothing else?
In a way this whole dungeon mess make me feel like i’m playing D3 again. Where i was also told “Sorry, Inferno mode is not for casual, you can stop playing now.” Which i did.
I’m not a casual player, i spend too much time on this. But i am not hardcore either: i don’t have a big powerful and organized guild; this time is behind me, never to come back. I don’t have that mindset anymore either.
I do enjoy a good challenge, a measure of difficulty and the feeling i am making progress. But like in D3 i feel like i have to play a certain way or begone, which i find incredibly irritating. Anet says they don’t want dungeon to feel like a grind, yet you get 20-30 tokens for gear that require more than 1200 for a whole set. That doesnt make any sense.
Anyway, i’m ranting.
tldr: Challenge is pointless without a nice carrot, and here, there’s only crumbs for climbing the Everest. And don’t tell us how to play this game, you did a great job with that aside from dungeons, why not there too?
