The Molten forces and the Periscopes are beyond ridiculous. I’m a relatively new player and getting hammered in the noob areas is a major hassle. I looked into the living story and apparently I need to be level 80 to participate. Not gonna happen anytime soon. So why do I have to put up with these traps at all? Especially when they’re posted along roads and in the middle of event areas? I can’t complete the Black Citadel map at the moment (a story option will allow it, but I’m not using that storyline) and I can’t complete the wayfarer foothills. This Living Story thing should really be run more like the PvP/WvW; with a separation from the regular world so the rest of us don’t get bogged down by the “Good Idea Fairy” and it’s horrific fallout. I paid for the game, I’d like to be able to play it now. In the future, how about an “opt out” option? Or maybe a refund if this sort of thing is the status quo?
