Actually yeah. Maybe I do want to do a high level dungeon like everyone else. Maybe I want to be able to WvW with my friends. Maybe I want to spend the 1-3 hours I might get to actually you know, play the game. But I can’t. You know why? Because there is no point. By the time I was able to get to level 70 – 80 by “working at it”. Ascended had already been released. And everyone was already far ahead. This means that by the time I “work at it” and reach that level, there will already be some new thing, and everyone will be ahead. That’s the problem with an MMO. They update, change, and evolve. And they don’t stop and wait because some people don’t have time to play. So that means that those of us who don’t, will always be behind. Always. I can’t bother to WvW or PvP. Because everyone will always have better gear than me. Because they will have had time to get it, whereas I haven’t. People who work at it, as you put it, may take a few weeks. Maybe months. If these people took weeks to do something, when they had hours to play a day, what do you think happens to those who have hours to play a week? Not hard to figure out. I don’t really care whether people wanted to finish or not. As long as I got supplies, I couldn’t care less since all I wanted was just a shot to actually get somewhere like every one else. I haven’t “gotten ahead” at all. I have just barely caught up. I am still no where near the armor/power level as everyone else. If this event was such an “exploit” I would be ahead of everyone. For now, I suppose is fine, until the next big update comes and I fall back into the dust of everyone with nothing but time. I agree with the earlier poster. I don’t think this has anything to do with “exploiting” anything. I think that people just don’t like the idea of people getting things in a halfway decent time. They like people to spend so much time slaving away at the game that they either quit, or cave in and gems to convert into gold, which honestly from a business standpoint, is not a bad idea. The bottom line of this thread and situation is respect. Just respect people. It’s simple. The whole reason OP was even complaining was because of the bickering. If you don’t like farmers, fine. Don’t be one. If 4 people want to complete an event and 67 others are trying to farm something, it won’t kill you to say “Hey, I need this. Can we finish?” And if the timer is so broken on fail, it won’t kill them to wait 10-15 minutes for the next one. On the farmers end, stop being rude. Some people actually do need progress, I am one of them actually even though I didn’t through a fit when someone asked me to wait. Just finish the quest and come back later, as most of you probably have the time to do so. The toxicity is the actual problem, not the event, and really it’s stupid. It shouldn’t be this hard to respect one another. And if people do have a disagreement, that doesn’t mean go crying to the forums yelling “Waaahhh people were mean to me! This is broken! Please nerf!” There are tons of farms. Everywhere. This was one was simply the most efficient. Anet probably didn’t really give a crap until the fighting started and enough people complained/violated the ToS. It’s just going to happen again elsewhere eventually. Even if it has nothing to do with hindering others at all. That is also stupid. Farmers are going to farm. Leave them alone. If it isn’t bothering you (which unfortunately this one turned out to), then just leave them be. Just because you don’t like farming doesn’t mean you have to make it your mission to hinder those who do(Looking at all the anti-farming griefers out there). Farmers, leave the story people alone. It is like, one run. Ask if anyone needs it. If they say no, go. If yes, just do it and send them on their way. I don’t know, to me, this whole situation seems ridiculous. Well it has been nice chatting with everyone. Life here I come. To everyone, good luck on your endeavors!
Just great. Another bunch of people complaining ruining it for people. Here’s an idea, stop making the good events tie in for story. Or at least let them progress for participating. Not everyone farms because they want to ruin your day. Some of us do it because we don’t have a choice. I have a fairly busy life. Between college, work, caring for people, and life in general, I don’t have much time to play this game. I have been trying to get my crafting up for months. I finally left the game for a while just to focus on life and returned to find a wonderful opportunity. In the past week from this event I have gotten my crafts(both of them) to nearly 500. I started at 250 and 350. After MONTHS of playing. This event was a godsend and made the game for people (like me) with little time to grind grind grind, playable. Unfortunately, people complained and now the event is gone. I have seen toxicity on both sides too. I have seen trains maul people for trying to complete. I have also seen LS’ers attack trains calling them horrible names for trying to gather supplies. “Stop cheating and playing the game.” “Scum.” “Losers” “Lazy [insert profanity here]” Among other things. All I have to say is, Clearly you people haven’t tried to gather T6 mats yet. But whatever, it’s fine. Surely there will be some other way to get my crafting finished someday.
You don’t have a choice? That’s very odd way to put it.
“Please sirs, I’m only participating in a zerg mentality that ruins event after event because I don’t have a choice!”
Well yes. When on average farming for these materials/gold to get them might yield MIGHT yield one gossamer insig in a few hours and I have an hour or so to play a week, yes. I don’t have a choice. Some of us don’t have the luxury of just playing for hours and hours to farm materials/gold. For the amount of time I have to play vs the amount of time it takes to do some of this stuff? It barely makes playing the game even worth it. Since I can’t buy ascended gear, I have to make it. To make it I have to get my crafting up. As I have stated, before this event I was barely at 300. I am not at 460. That was in the few hours I had to play the event before it got nerfed. I don’t really care about the mentality. If you want to farm, go somewhere else. If you want to complete the mission ask them to finish. A lot of these people surprisingly enough, will complete the event if you just ask nicely. But to kitten and moan to the point of nerfing the whole thing is just silly. It’s really not going to stop anything. They will just move. If you don’t want people farming like lunatics for things, stop making the things so ridiculously hard to get. If rewards were better, maybe people wouldn’t be doing things like this. I’m not here for the “zerg mentality” I don’t even really care. I was just trying to have some chance of getting something done over the course of the next few months.
