I’m giving up, this is more like Dark Souls online then GW2, it’s a horrible experience to try and play this solo.
The shift in game style from the core game is like day and night, you go from a fun, solo casual, game to hardcore, group only in a second.
I could not have said it better. I been playing Warcrack for 10+ years and came tc GW2 and loved it 1-80 so much fun. I have fun going solo and killing stuff and then doing some PVP. HOT hit and wow as you say the core game shifted so much. I want a challenge but it needs to be fun and HOT is not fun. AreaNet should have said what a change this would be. They better make it more for solo play because if people stop playing HOT will be totally unplayable. I thought it was just me being programed to WOW for years and steamrolling through stuff.
