Guild Wars 2

I am able to cut out a lot of the complaints some people have because I simply refuse to join groups that say “ping gear” or “x amount of AP required”, AP means absolutely nothing. It does not indicate skill. It just indicates you go for achievements or have played for longer than 2 weeks.

-The lack of communication between multiple warriors in the group over which banners each has or when you figure out which banner the other warrior carries and they switch mid dungeon to the same banner you have.
-People not saying they haven’t done the path a lot of times or at all, it is ok we all have to learn at somepoint, but just say something.
-Players who rush off and leave the squishes behind in running portions of TA.
-The worst for me is: The players who go afk after completing the boss at the end of a fractal

Teq does not need a nerf, he is fairly simple with organization. The bugged event with invisible Teq is the most frustrating part now because you have to watch you do not overburn. That is the only thing I see needs to be fixed with the event.

The issue most seem to have is getting that organization or the time spent sitting the map for 30-45 minutes. I admit, I do dislike that portion of the event, but it is what is necessary to find a successful map. I am lucky in that we usually have a map picked out in guild and we all join that map, but I understand not everyone has that luxury. Showing up just after the last world event in the timer before Teq is almost a guaranteed fail, all the organized maps are full by then. Show up 30 minutes before hand: get ready for work the next day, turn on netflix, or browse the internet while you wait.

Ascended armor is definitely not NEEDED. Since you are clearly finishing content without it you know that, but if you intend to do higher level fractals then it is necessary to get higher AR without spending a fortune on crafting agony infusions. If you are just doing it for the stat increase then it is really not worth it because the base stats are not that much better and the infusions necessary to craft the +5agony +5 stat increases are expensive.

However I completed my heavy ascended set for my warrior and it was a goal that took me a little over 2 months to complete. I crafted my materials and bought most of my stacks of wool, linen, and cotton for the damask. I am by no means a rich player with limitless gold, I actually limit the lowest amount of gold I am willing to drop to and never drop below that. It was a goal I set for myself on what I wanted in game and slowly worked towards it without farming like crazy. Just craft your daily materials and you really won’t notice a gold drain and it gives you something to work towards.

You could also try some level 10+ reward level fractals to see if you get an ascended armor chest to eliminate one or more pieces to craft. This is what I am doing for my ele since light armor requires the most damask, one less piece of armor to craft is always nice, but it relies on that stupid RNG.
