huh did you even read what i wrote?

how does making games “mmorpgs” with hardcore elements make it so you cant play them?

this game has no end game content for hardcores, if they added some does that mean you have to to do it?

if you are casual then you wont care that other players that spend more time that you on the game have more stuff , your not competing with them so what do you care?

oh i see you think because you cant have what they have its not fair so you want all games to be casual so you dont miss out… i see

Oh please!
you are the one complaining that this game is not hardcore enough and you are the one who suggested companies should only cater to hardcore players – I think you used the term “care bear games” – cute
I couldn’t care less what kind of gear you run around in or how many titles you have.
My point was that there are people who are sick of that kind of thing- RL is competitive enough for me.
The fact that you even say this game has no end game for hardcores means that you completely missed what this game was about- They very very clearly said that the whole game is the end game and that you won’t have all that stuff that you want suddenly, boom- when you hit 80.
I personally hate games that make me rush to lvl cap so I can play the game.
This is not that game

I would like the downscaling to be harder but I can understand it would be difficult.
1: Exotics have 3 bonuses and will have a gem with 3 bonuses. Lower levels you are lucking to have an unslotted blue in each spot and that’s with less # of bonuses.

2: Skills: Elite skills and Tier 3 utility skills weren’t even an option at lower levels.

That was what I was referring to when I made the suggestion that we be leveled under zone lvl.
For an 80 in exotics it is so easy as to be ridiculous, hell, last night on my lvl40 ele I went to Queensdale to quickly get my last event for my dailies and it was embarrassing.
I felt bad- I don’t want to walk over everything and one shot mobs when level players are fighting for their lives. It makes me feel like a bully.
I love the world and I love to explore, I just want a challenge too.
meh some people like to be gods walking around in low levels

I was under the impression the next round of Legendaries will be accessories or back items?
I am almost sure Colin said something like that during the PAX interview

…more than elitists.

The problem is exacerbated when Guild Wars 2 or related media positions this game to be all about playing the way YOU want it and further cemented by long time carebears. Some of you have probably run dungeons with really nice people whom you thought probably grew marshmallows out of their ears if you ever met them in person. Along the way, their child would cry, or the postman would come, or silly mistakes which you probably overcame on your second run but they still fall victim even though they have over 4000 achievement points (an inaccurate reference but it is something we inevitably draw a conclusion about a player’s “experience” with the game). Then the run takes 3 times longer than it should have. There is a point when a relaxed pace turns into a waste of time.

You see, when an elitist culture is set in, your feelings are hurt, but nobody’s time gets wasted. But when someone stubbornly convinced it’s all about him, nevermind playing the better way, other people has to pay for his mistakes. See the contrast?

Point? This game has gone down the gutter coaster too much in the direction of “I play it my way”. It’s true I can choose not to pug, on the otherhand, I’m not alone on this yearning for a little less anonymity of who we invite to the party when we’re pugging.

So really, who’s the selfish one?

The game was marketed and sold a s a game who respects the fact that you have real life commitments and as such you can choose how to play.
This is not news.

it is a game- if you take it so seriously that you feel your time is wasted by playing with people who play for fun and giggles then don’t- you sound pretty selfish here actually.

You are free to create your own parties with your own requirements- the game is not going down the gutter because other people don’t play the way you want.

I have 8 characters and 5 of them are at 80.
I play all of them equally.
I use my 80’s for world events and such- but I pretty much play whoever I am in the mood for whenever

I really really like all the male faces.
I am not that crazy about the female faces because they remind me a bit too much of various aspects of the Sieran face.
A bit generic compared to the male versions.

This is just personal taste and I think Kirsten did a great job- I am sure I will use one of them as soon as I decide what class my next Sylvari is going to be

The most mind boggling thing about the Queensdale train is the fact that they have no idea how Shadow Behemoth works and regularly say things like “only 5 min till SB” (until 30 min window) and then spend the rest of the 30 min wailing why isn’t he up.

Even when you call Kryta wp and link the keg event/Brenda they still wail, do not help and camp the swamp like a bunch of kittens.
edit: or show up at the last minute because they still run the train

I don’t think they hate Engineers.
Colin plays an engineer.
I think Warriors are just their version of the flagship class: easiest, most played, uses legendary GS etc.

Face it people who plays Engineers as a main has a peculiar mindset- part masochist, part anarchist, part pyromaniac, part stubborn, part mad scientist and with a high skill level.
People who like that are always going to like it but there aren’t that many of us.
