Guild Wars 2

I disagree with the idea of trading fractal weapon skins but I do think a way of getting them, aside from RNG, should be available. I think if you start a fractal level instance of 20+ a new merchant should appear in the lab area that will allow you to purchase weapon skins using relics or tokens.

This means that weapons will still show proof of your accomplishment and also give players running 20+ dailies something to work for. I’ve done my share of 20/30 dailies and have yet to get a skin but I’ve seen party members get just about every skin. It would be nice to know that I’m working towards something doing the dailies instead of just relying on lady luck (who really isn’t happy with me at the moment).

I think it’s a good idea. It’ll get rid of the “lfg fotm lvl XX” spam in Lion’s Arch. I’d like to see some kind of cross server implementation of it as well. It seems most of my groups tend to come from people of all servers; granted most of my groups come from gw2lfg.com.

Speaking of which, we shouldn’t have to depend on a third party website to find groups. I love that someone created it but ideally, we really need something in the game for this.

So, after spending an hour today trying to find a level 6 group, I finally found one. We beat the first 3 fractals and ended up getting the Jade Maw bonus level. One of our members died while fighting it and after it died, three of us went to revive our fallen member before grabbing the chest.

One of our members however decided to grab the chest instead of helping us revive. He then sent a party message saying he had to go and proceeded to exit. This caused the rest of the party to be thrown into Lion’s Arch before getting the chest. Because we didn’t get the chest, we didn’t level which means we have to repeat level 6 again even though we technically completed it.

I am posting this for two reason. For one, I think that there should be some kind of vote, no matter what, to prevent this from happening. A voting box didn’t appear when he did this; we were just thrown directly into Lion’s Arch. It was obvious to the rest of the party that he did this on purpose thus abusing the way the party system works in FOTM.

The second reason I am posting this is to give everyone a heads up that players are doing this. It’s hard enough to find a group and have that group actually get to the end of a level without having someone disconnect to now have to worry about players doing this. I hate to say it but before you revive, grab the chest otherwise you may end up repeating a level.
