Thank you to those who replied with insults for people who choose not to leave a map. That is exactly the toxicity that is the problem with the TD meta. Perfect examples.

Also, those trying to join the meta are doing it for themselves, not out of some altruism to help the greater good. Therefore if you want to call people who just want to be able to continue what they were doing before people started taxiing for the meta “selfish”, then those who want to kick them off the map so THEY can do what they want and join the meta are also “selfish”.

I love how you keep going on and going about how selfish 50+ people wants to join in on meta and pretend that people are insulting you.

Either way this thread clearly did not persuade you in doing anything but throwing more dung at people that have no choice in what map is picked for the meta, meanwhile you have the freedom to relog or go to another map to give people a chance at participating at an event that’s only set to run every 2 hours.

But we’re the selfish people yeah?

The other problem with the HoT metas is commanders asking non-participants to leave the map. Yes, I should stop what I’m doing in the middle of an event and go to a different map where the event might not even be happening at this time or will stop in the middle because I have to start over again so won’t be finished before the meta starts.

The HoT metas were a terrible idea.

Why do you have to do as they ask if you prefer to finish what you are doing?

Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with social pressure of numerous people all wanting you to do the same thing? I don’t necessarily bow to such pressure but I’ve been told I am unusually “stubborn”.

No, I understand social pressure. However, unless people’s avatars are actually near where yours is, how would they even know you are on the map? I’ve never seen the type of pressure you seem to be talking about. Are they just asking in map chat?

Regardless, should I see such requests, my thinking would be: (1) while I often see taxi LFG’s to a meta map, I never see taxis to non-meta maps; 2), one doesn’t need a full zone’s population to beat a meta event; and (3), given (1) and (2), if I want to be in this zone, asking or telling me to leave the zone completely so the meta group can greatly outnumber the meta is neither fair nor reasonable. This opinion would change if ANet implemented a district drop down as they had in the original GW game, but GW2 does not allow me to travel to various map copies on demand except via LFG/Join In.

I don’t think you understand the issue

Some people want to join the meta map and simply can’t because people refuse to relog, so they miss out on the chance to do an event that only happens on a 2 hour cycle because of selfish minded/lazy people.
