Guild Wars 2

Yup, this killed it for me. It was fun while it lasted, and the rest of the peeps in my party seemed to dig the changes but for me this whole change is just a total deal breaker. I have always been one to res people, so this hasn’t made me do that any more; what it does do is make me spend a lot more time dead and waiting to be able to do something about it. Why you would opt to introduce powerlessness where there wasn’t any before? In my limited experience, this doesn’t make people res more, it just penalizes the people that try, because if they then die they are really screwed. Used to be the worst that could happen if you try to res someone is that you die and have to zerg res; now you might get stuck waiting around a lot longer and you may even lose your shot at boss loot. Great. If I planned on playing any more, I would be angry. Now I suppose I’m glad to have a clean slate getting ready for ESO.

Instead of building a real group finder, something that everyone wants, lets nerf the entire group experience. Doesn’t make sense to me.

I have had the pleasure of ending up in a group for CoF where the leader was yelling obscenities at me through chat and in the end telling everyone to ‘ignore me’ just because I wan’t familiar enough with the dungeon. Without the ability to zerg-res as the unfortunate outlier dealing with a tough learning curve, I think you are going to lose a lot of people who don’t have the time to spend 24/7 on the game and will now be even MORE intimidated by strange game mechanics that often force things to suck for no apparent reason.

I know you guys are doing these things with good intentions, but I have to say I’ve bought a lot of gems and now I am going away. Good luck!
