Guild Wars 2

I’m really not sure what games y’all are playing where duels disruptive to gameplay. Two MMOs I’ve played in recent memory that included dueling, EQ2 and WoW, had a limited duel area and you couldn’t duel inside of cities or instances (in WoW at least, not sure on EQ2 for that). Duels certainly weren’t balanced, but they were fun from time to time.

I haven’t really seen a reason to not include dueling beyond “I don’t like them.” So don’t do them? They don’t need to include a reward beyond the simple satisfaction of victory.

Raiding of that style tends to mandate trinity gameplay. I don’t think that would fit in Guild Wars 2. I wouldn’t like to see true tanking and healing in this game. I think it would ruin the unique flavor of the combat.

I disagree. I think PvE as is is fun, but to have the Trinity in a lite version for Raids and dungeons would be a good thing.

I disagree with you. I think each player being capable of bringing healing, support, and damage to the table is what makes PvE in this game fun. I’ll admit I have not had the time to participate in a dungeon yet, but this has held true out in the world (so far, at least).

I never understood this argument. The only difference between using an LFG tool and not is that one forces you to spam chat channels with “LFG LFG OMG LFG PLEASE LFG” for hours and the other is just a click of a button for multi-server grouping goodness.

The quality of players? Never seen it change. People sucked in groups pre-WoW lfg, sucked after. People didn’t really suck in groups pre-Rift lfg, didn’t really suck after.

I never got why people love to spam “LFG” all over the place, get maybe 1 run every few hours, and say “This is so much better than getting a 10 minute queue on a multi-realm LFG tool without having to spam channels! That would be so sucky!”

I found my guild in WoW by using the traditional grouping method pre-LFD. We all still play together across a large variety of games, 4 years later. I’m not sure if I would have met them with the LFD in place. This is definitely a place where your mileage may vary, but that’s my reason for being against an LFD system.

Both systems have their flaws. I do think the traditional system tends to build stronger server communities, though. Again, you might disagree, but that’s how I see it.

I would love this. I almost exclusively play with a buddy. When one of us gets an upgrade for the other, we have to go through the mail system even though we’re standing right next to each other. As others have said, it’d also be nice to just have a secure place to trade with others outside of the Trading Post.
