Guild Wars 2

It doesn’t seem to be specific to a particular hardware manufacturer. People have listed pretty much all of the more common components, through a decent range of models. I’m wondering if maybe it is due to the version of Windows, or maybe a specific Windows patch that the players experiencing the FPS drop are lacking. FWIW, I run an Intel CPU (2500k but at stock speed) and an AMD GPU (6970, also stock speed), my wife has an older Intel CPU (C2D 8300 I think) and an Nvidia GPU (GTX 470). We both run Windows 7 Ultimate with all available important/recommended updates. Neither of us are experiencing a noticeable FPS drop in Dry Top.

I know there are players that want the most challenging events possible. I know there are those who want strict organization and teamwork to pay off. I’m ok with that.

On the other hand, I don’t see the problem with logging in, jumping on a champ train, and getting a little XP/loot while chatting with friends. Sure, some people will take it too far. That’s what diminishing returns is supposed to remedy.

I honestly don’t expect every LS event to be mindless 1 mashing. I know GW2 has a large, diverse community and everyone has their own ideas of what makes a game fun. However, throwing the zerg an occasional bone isn’t hurting anything. Sometimes I want to just veg out and jump on the zerg, and sometimes I want a challenge. Both are completely valid play styles, and both should be viable. I’m not saying you should be able to farm up a legendary over a solid weekend of zerging. I’m just saying let the players decide how they want to play instead of trying to force us to play how YOU think we should.
