Guild Wars 2

I find this content to be completely frustrating. I am generally a solo player. I also have time constraints as to how much and when I can play so because of this a lot of the time there is nobody I know on when I am. The reason I liked this game was that I could log on and play for half an hour to an hour and get my fix while doing the daily achievements and maybe knocking out one or two living world achievements.

With that said I hate hate hate HATE this content. I spent the better part of 4 hours getting to the top of the tower a few days ago and it cost me several gold between repair fees and paying to get back to the level I died on. Nobody stops to rez, and they just run by even if you’re in their zerg, all they care about is getting to the top without dying(and who can blame them since 90% of the time whenever I stopped to try to rez someone I died as well).

After a few days I thought I’d try to go back and see if it was any better(and to do the daily for completing events). I couldn’t even get past the entrance on the first level since for some reason there was an elite two shotting me each time I went in. Tried paying to go to the 2nd level and there wasn’t anyone playing there. Payed to get to the 3rd level and it was the same as before, just die repeatedly as people just run past and not help or rez you hoping that you get aggro from the mobs they have in tow.

This content is horrible, not well thought out at all. It’s not fun for many and I wont even get the meta completed(first time so far). I liked this game because it scratched my MMO itch without making me be hardcore. I liked it because I didn’t have to scour forums for builds and keep up with gear progression like other MMOs. I could log on and have fun and not be frustrated by ridiculously hard content.

I don’t expect to be able to complete fractals or dungeons without practice and patience(which is why I don’t bother with them). But living story I expect to not spend more time dead or banging my head against a wall frustrated as hell just to see the kitten content. If this is the direction living story is going with frustratingly and unnecessarily unbalanced content then I may have to look elsewhere to spend my limited gaming time.
