They’re probably just sick of completely terrible players, newbies, people who can’t read and/or idiots.
You should try pugging AC p1 once in a while. No guild members or friends.
I pug multiple paths of AC daily and most of the time things go smoothly. Sometimes it’s a party full of 80’s or a mix of people down to their mid 30’s and sometimes the non 80 fully geared players perform better than their high level team members.
AC’s exploreable mode BEGINS at level 35 for low level or new players to get their feet wet and gain experience. Asking for 4,000 achievement points at such entry level content is ridiculous. Same as asking for experienced players in a reward level 1 fractal and wanting agony resistance in an are where there is none. These are examples of eliteism being way over the top and out of proportion. It’s like requiring a bachelor’s degree to work at McDonalds.
Now you understand why i don’t like rezzing people who die , i jump in and start farming Dunwell 15 seconds later 3-4 guys pop up and start loitering , more times than not they queue …and it takes them days to die or (rarely) kill the boss chosen.
Queen’s Gauntlet…totally bringing out the best qualities in the GW2 community.

Is it just me, or does the required amount to max this achievement seem well beyond what it needs to be based on the other achievements.
I don’t mean to complain, but with Aspect Arena none of the achievements really felt like i had to grind too much. With High Scorer, i have 25% with everything else already completed.
Is anyone having more luck with this one? Maybe I just need to make sure I survive longer, but the max I see is like 100pts in a match.

Oh boy, my first thought when I woke up was “we sure could use another thread about CoF/Elitism on this forum, I’m pretty sure it would say a lot of things that haven’t been said a million times before” .

Recently I wrote to Anet to thank them, and I feel like I can share it with the rest of you. I hope you appreciate the game as much as I do:
————————————————————————————————-
I wanted to take a moment of my time to thank you. Please don’t chalk
this up as another compliment to you guys and that’s that. No. I can
honestly say that you guys saved my life. Without knowing it. I know
it seems crazy, but it’s true. I’m a father of 2, married and going to
school. I was in the military and suffer from PTSD and major depressive
disorder. It’s really hard going through my daily life, even the
simplest of things are hard to do. I enjoyed playing other MMOs for a
little while, but it didn’t really help me. I needed a distraction, but
one that I could play as a casual gamer and didn’t have to dedicate my
life to. This game is the perfect solution. I can group with people,
but I’m not forced to. There is rarely any extra benefit from
grouping. I can craft and it doesn’t take hours and hours and take up
all my bag space. I can jump on for a half hour and feel like I was
able to do something productive. I can participate in huge events
without having to farm reputation or farm gear that seems more like work
than a game. I actually enjoy the PvP environment and the WvW concept
it brilliant. Thank you. It’s still hard going day to day with my
struggles, but this game has provided an adequate distraction. One I’ve
been longing for for a very long time. I can’t promise I’ll be able to
spend a lot of money on gems to support you, but I’ll do what I can when
I can. I can’t promise that I’ll always be around in-game (though it’s
possible), but I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for,
at the very least, getting me through right now. Life’s been rough and
GW2 is a beautiful distraction and outlet. God bless your team.
- And thanks to all the other players out there, especially my guild [SE] for being so supportive, keeping a good sense of humor and making the game just so kitten fun to play.
Greetings,
If you read or post on our official forums, you may have noticed the +1 button next to each post. Recently, we have updated this system with more features and visibility for you, the players. You can find the full forum update notes here. This post is to familiarize you all with the new features in our +1 system and how they affect you.
Added a link to user profile pages which shows posts that a user has +1’d, ordered such that top-most is the most recent
Added a link to user profiles to show highly rated posts ordered descending by score
When visiting a user’s profile page, you can view all posts that user has +1’d starting with the most recent, or see all of their own posts that have been +1’d by others sorted descending by score.
Both of these options are opt-in, because we respect your privacy and don’t want to force you into sharing information you are not comfortable with sharing. As such, you may not see these links in other user profile pages immediately. You will always see these links on your own page, regardless of your settings.
To allow others to view these pages on your own profile, click on your display name in the upper right of the forum, then on the following page, click “Edit Profile”, check the last two boxes and click “Save changes”.
Popularity is divided between popular and very popular as well as per-thread and forum-wide
What this means is that there are two levels of popularity, categorized “popular” and “very popular”. Currently these are indicated by a thumbs-up icon that appears next to the +1 button. If a post is very popular, the thumbs-up earns a star that appears within said icon.
Our future plans include updating these indicators to something more visually striking. Until then, this is how you will know if a post has achieved popular status.
There are also two levels in which posts are gauged for popularity, on a per-thread basis and forum-wide. Forum-wide popularity takes into account +1s from within a set time period across the forum. Per-thread popularity takes into account all +1s in a thread. Visually, a forum-wide popular post will have a red underline beneath the thumbs-up icon.
Over the next few weeks, we will monitor thresholds against post-scores and make adjustments as we see is necessary to ensure accurate display of popularity indicators. Going forward, if you read a post and like it, press that +1 button. It’s how you let us, and other players, know that you liked what you read.

45 characters is the maximum length for a topic title on the forums. It is this way to prevent titles from being cut off when viewing a thread. This is not a bug, this is by design.
Mark, I believe he meant that that would make one unable to physically put in more characters, rather than getting an error message after trying to post. Would be more convenient for posters, et cetera. Still wouldn’t be able to put in any more characters.
