Even if I do have a second I have to wade through all the stackers, skippers, leavers, and level 80’s that join and instantly leave.

we all do weeding out of our own the difference is we aren’t complaining about it or making excuses. there are waaay to many players that don’t want to stack, they post here all the time. form a guild and make it work.

Check out this thread if you haven’t there’s some people in that thread not including OP that do not want to stack or skip.

You don’t have to complain because you’re with the meta, the masses, the way it is currently. The people who want change are “complaining” because they want change. they want to play how they want to play i.e not stacking, skipping, zerking, and so on, but can’t because all people care about is the “meta” and will follow it without question. If things were the other way around I’m sure there would be plenty of complaining for the other end.

I take issue with this. You’re “The Masses.” “The Masses” being those that wish to be carried, force others to play their way, or don’t care about LFG Tags. You’re like 99% of players that would join a group that says “Melee Only” and range. You are the cancer that reads my LFG Post: “FoTM XX, Daily, Sexy Zerk Bros ONLY, Ping upon joining” who would join my group not ping meta, or say nothing at all, and range on mossman/bloomhunger, if things go bad and the group wipes you would be the last one to die and the worst is, you’ll die confident that you contributed the most to the group because you survived the longest doing “dps” the longest.

The 1% of my runs are beautiful, worth putting up with the uniformed like you. Yes, you are uninformed you don’t like stacking because you don’t understand stacking. It’s like saying I chose not to use exotic/ascended weapons because they do too much damage… it FEELS like an exploit.

Back to my 1%. Sometimes, once in a great while, the planets will align. PuGs will ping zerk gear WITH scholar and melee all day everyday. Might gets stacks, blinds get used, etc. It’s beautiful, I love playing with a group of players of like mind. I LOVE and find FUN, playing in perfect harmony with 4 other strangers. I am exhilarated that a team comes together and slays monsters and loots booty. That’s my fun, perfect execution and loot.

What’s not fun to me, ranging, Final Fantasy length end boss fights on trash, 3-4 hours in one dungeon because IRL I work 70-90 hours a week and don’t care about what you find fun.

Klemen, so what are you criticizing? Ease of bosses, and Arah, or S/S/S or lack of rewards? If every player had your same level of virtuosity at GW2 then S/S/S and/or tank-healers is going to be trivial. You solo run every piece of PvE content with ease and grace, so regardless of mechanics players like you will master the game. I would argue that you’re the exception and not the rule. I dunno, run things at half-level or self-impose some limits to your available toolset. I really want to know your beef and how a trinity would fix things.

If Anet didn’t want you to use certain skills then they would just put up arbitrary barriers, i.e., invisible walls, FGS rush/WW will end as soon as you hit a wall, WoR fails or is removed, buff boss HP even more, remove dodges, etc. Then, like WoW, a tank will figure out how to gather mobs, whilst DPS AoE/Cleaves everyone down and a healer stacks Healing and just heals all day (assuming they fix boss damage/ CDs).

I love it when people use AC runs as the standard. Oh and if you think Lupi is the only real boss that spams AoE, then you never made it past Lupi and somehow never experienced phase 1. Also, requiring players to bring a healer-tank will defiantly kill “play how you want” it’s bad enough that certain classes are highly recommended for certain dungeons/fracs. However, if you’re looking for a challenge and don’t like short runs why not solo Arah?

I’ll contribute with a chatlog.

This is genius.

Remarks: I’ve watched every speed run and desire a chance to apply what I have learned so far. Very patient, can deal with inexperienced players in general and I spend a lot of time in preparation. Would like to learn speed-clears but can settle with fast regular runs.
