Guild Wars 2

Just like the title says.

Nearly every Dynamic Event I’ve encountered since the Champion loot was introduced I’ve had to complete on my own (on characters ranging from teens to 80, so not limited to specific zones). No one wants to help because it isn’t “worth it.” Several I never completed because it got to a point where I couldn’t complete it on my own. If I ask in chat, forget it. People don’t want to join.

And forget about getting world completion if I want a legendary of my own, or even just for the fun of it! If it isn’t ember farming, or starting events just to fail them on purpose, no one wants to help open up temples or help with skill points or world boss events. Why should I have to transfer servers in order to complete the map, when even that doesn’t guarantee that the areas I need are accessible?

While I am not a new player, I enjoy going back through content with multiple characters. The game isn’t the same; people are rude, the zones don’t feel alive because events just sit stagnant, and if you dare to start a Champion event without the zerg..oh boy are you in trouble!

I already know I’ll get a lot of flak for writing this, and I don’t have a solution that will agree with everyone (as if that were possible) but I felt it worth the vitriol I’ll receive just to let Anet know how one of their customers feels.

(Ironically, I was excited with the loot changes because it meant all of those Champions that no one wanted to help me with wouldn’t just sit there..only now it’s everything else that just sits there while everyone farms Champs).

While I realize this is a month old, I’ve just read it and completely agree.

Here are some examples of maps in other games, which I enjoyed and was able to play solo or with one or two other people in my free time (all pug games as well):
The Black Garden/Library of Runestones RIFT ‘warfronts.’ The mechanic was really fun and worked well even when running pugs.
Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley in WoW. Both allowed me to play solo or with a couple people, and didn’t necessarily require constant communication with a premade group (in my experience).
Huttball in SWTOR. This was amazingly fun!

Take a look at other games..see what they are doing for solo players. Simple.

Still relevant; bump.

Bumping, as I would also like to see this set available in PvE.

In fact, there are several PvP sets that I’d love to see in PvE. I see no reason to differentiate the two; bragging rights can still be achieved by continuing to make the nicer sets difficult to get, but not impossible if you prefer one aspect of the game over another. (I tend to exhaust the PvE content before delving heavily into PvP, and it would be nice to be able to wear these items sooner rather than later).

If they need to be difficult to find or purchase, that is understandable, but please make them available!
