I feel betrayed by this patch. Since the release I’ve always told people that GW2 gets it. I thought the developers understood that “end game” doesn’t have to be defined as 10 to 20 people grinding out a raid every night for hours. I thought that the developers understood that even though I don’t want to join a massive zerg guild, it doesn’t mean I don’t want the best gear in the game, nor would I work for it. This game has suited me and my playstyle up until this point.
Essentially what this patch says to me is that sure you can have a small guild but you can’t do any of the new guild missions quickly, especially on day one. I am in a small guild that is around 5 people and we’re all just friends who’ve played games together for a very long time. We’re not looking to be a big guild and meet tons of new people or anything like that. We’ve done it before and are past it. We play to run the dungeons, get the best gear and just have fun. So when I see that the first type of mission is only available though getting your Art of War high, automatically we’re screwed as we don’t pvp and have invested our points elsewhere. Not only that, but the absurd amount of points, which I’m sure wouldn’t be tough for a large guild, are insane for a group of 5.
Another thing, the new ascended pieces. I see you can get them through 5 gold and 12 guild commendations or something like that which is not bad. But if you’re not in a guild you’re charged 50 ectos and 40 laurels? Seriously? I don’t know how easy it is to get the guild commendations but I doubt it’s less than 40 days of laurels and roughly 18 gold worth of ectos.
I’m sorry if my post is all over the place but this patch is really disappointing, to the point where I don’t see what the purpose is of continuing to play. Thanks a lot ANet.

Hello, first a bit about us. My friends and I are in a small self run guild on Tarnished Coast (non roleplay guild) called Primordial <PRI>. We’re a tight-knit group of players who have been playing together for a few years through different games. We use vent all the time. At any given time we’ll have just a few people online, however we’re all connected through other means so getting another on isn’t too difficult and we usually pug one person or so. But we’d like to stop pugging as they can be inconsistent. We bought the game and played at start but lost interest until about a month ago where we came back to the game. Even though we’re few, we’re pretty serious about fractals and dungeons. We want to get high in fractals and we’re exotic’d out so we’re really seeing the dungeons just for look and to actually see the content.
Here’s where the request gets kind of strange. We’re not looking for typical members. We won’t be hosting events, doing group pvp (for now anyways) or pretty much any of that fluff that guilds do to build a sense of community. We’ve done that in other games and we’re sort of past it now. What we want is people to fill spots in our nightly dungeon / fractal runs. Either that or are looking for other guilds in a similar situation and would like to partner up somehow. If any of this interests you as either another guild leader or just someone scanning the forums feel free to send me a tell in game to rathmus.9840. Thanks.
