Guild Wars 2

Read the rest of the posts Merendel. You are commenting from an ill informed position. And I am glad you are happy with changes, but would appreciate you refraining from personal attacks on those of us who are unhappy about forced dependence on stranger team members.

My opinion is you are soooo right Scoundrel !

Just wishing that Anet stopped pushing forced teaming and taking away a players independence. I agreed that the new build will be mana for many, but the trend to force teaming is not to my taste. Yes it was the people, and unfortunately there are a lot like them out there. I’m sure you would have provided a more enjoyable time, so would I had I had the chance. Personally I like difficult … that was never the issue. It is the removal of your choice to rez if your “team” leave you lying on the floor. I cannot see where this change is progress.

That’s just silly Mkalafut. Of course its the opposite of hardcore. Putting 5 people together in a new environment doesn’t make a team. I believe this change will see a lot of people lying on dungeon floors because it is too risking to rez them ….. it happens now. It will get worse. I am glad you are happy with the changes and would appreciate you not disrespecting my choice to be unhappy with them. I think the less able players will be even more discouraged from attempting the dungeons. An acquaintance ingame ventured into fractals with a team of strangers and was admittedly a newby and unwittingly ill prepared. He was so badly treated by the group, that chose not to help him get better but to denigrate him, that he will not go near dungeons or fractals again. Although many many people in GW2 are good souls, not all are. I have a number of issues with Anet, this just being the small straw that is really pushing on the camels back.

If that is aimed at me Essence, I dont care for the rewards… I play to have fun and enjoy the company of my friends worldwide. I make new friends and explore new places. Don’t feel the need to enter a kitten competition via armour or levels or rewards. Anet have just modified a great game into a less enjoyable place. I don’t think it is a level playing field as Anet hoped, as I have members in my guild who are young and can’t ‘buy’ or ‘play’ their way in a kitten contest because believe it or not, some of us have real life commitments and can’t spend 24/7 in GW2. Seems the content is being funnelled into a WoW tasting game. I have put real money into game to support Anet, but no more. Anet have made one too many modification for me. I find the Black Lion gouging dishonest, and am generally disillusioned at Anet’s integrity. Glad you haven’t had substantial Gold disappear from trading post like one of my members and have anet flick them off… another has had items disappear of characters and Anet don’t care…
I don’t clamour for harder content, just clamour for fun content. Would like the choice. But saying that I know that I have only to leave the game… this is a choice I have.

Yep…. they are making the game for you, and the rest of us who don’t want everything hardcore can leave……. Congrats

I have teamed up with strangers multiple times and haven’t enjoyed the experience. The dungeons are designed for “team” play but Anet expect 5 strangers to automatically create a team… what a crock…. you have 5 people with their own agenda and playing styles. Anet needs to take a deep breath of reality. The people are basically great people, but that doesn’t make you an effective team, and these new changes will just make the entire dungeon venture with strangers even less fun. Another BAD move among many bad moves lately Anet.

Totally agree with ZierJT. We have a limit to post, should be a limit to bid. Also wish Anet were more honest…. maybe that should just be “honest”…. in the way they run Trading post. They are gouging, and would be arrested in the real world for dishonest trading practices. Full fee disclosure Anet !!! New concept… try it !!!

Dungeons are now off the menu…. had hard enough time trying to get a team of 5 organised… Haven’t had good experience with random teams… leavers and soloist make it a journey into frustration. My guild consists of people who have real lives and vast time differences, so organizing outing a real trial. Hate many of the changes (yes hate!!) and this one, in my opinion, will just drive anyone not totally hardcore away from dungeons. There should be a solo dungeon option, or even a dungeon run for 2…. Anet, stop trying to force people to team up when they don’t want to.
