I honestly think that, given the Megaserver being new, we must have an even stricter policing of players.
Agreed.
With fewer options to avoid trolls, and with a greater chance of being thrown in with them in the first place, in game moderation becomes much more important.
Yes, i tend to i agree with you guys here.. I do believe in second chances though, so this is what i would’ve done :
I would’ve added active GMs staying “hidden” from common view, and appearing whenever a report or block has been submitted, thus evaluating the situation. And then, if a troll is identified, to simply give him a friendly but strict “warning”.
Then, keep said troll under surveillance. The troll does it again? Give the GM the right to actively “kill” the troll’s character, this time without warning. Permanently. Alongside all his assets. No need to ban the account, just strip it clean. That would force the trolls to think twice before harassing someone, as the fear of having to start over from scratch will be there to stay.
Yes, i’m mean.
That would definitely give the RPlayers some air to breathe, or feeling “safe” while enjoying the game. Tonight, my RP group stayed in “Party Chat” in order to avoid trolls, but it was a “one minute solution”, as we were less than usual. Holidays and stuff.
I know what are you going to say to me, it’s farfetched and never going to happen, as active GMs require money, and in order to keep a population like ours in check, (GW2 population in general, that is), would require a lot of them… Still, hope dies last, they say. 
I have a better solution to this whole mess : How about adding a universal translator to the game, translating every language (including English, French, German, Spanish or maybe Greek) into Swahili?
That way everyone will see the same thing, so no more complaints!
Wazo nzuri! Hebu kufanya hivyo!
I couldn’t stop myself
Asante sana!! 
Hehe, couldn’t resist either…

Completely agree with your game philosophy on this. My wife and I have always played this game, and other mmos, this way. More power to you!
My thanks to you, sir.
Well, soloing champs is really not the best argument to put forward here, I agree.
But so far:
- World boss timers were adjusted to compensate, making the events feel less unique, they don’t flow with the map, especially ones with a meta event chain, they feel really out of place when you get to the end and nothing happens.
- Youre bound by the time table, rather than having control over which boss you do.
- Mega server means the events are super zergy, it was ten times more fun on my lesser populated server where 15-30 players were doing them rather than 50+ every time. The events are not fun with zergs.
- People don’t get ordened according to language properly
- Guilds have a hard time (if they are big enough) to get all members in for guild missions
- Guild missions have always other guilds doing them, making it really annoying to do them.
- You can’t control at ALL what people are going to be in your map, you cant switch map easy instances either. Especially annoying for roleplayers.
- Bigger community events by pre-exsisting (server) communities are really annoying to do in mega server maps.
- Personally I think the zerging makes people super lazy, afking at the events hardly doing anything. It turns into queensdale champion trains. And really don’t see how that is good for the game. You have no choice between world boss training and doing it off peak hours, or at a time when it’s less populated, because it’s ALWAYS populated.
Trust me, even lesser ones like mine (29 people) have hard time doing anything together. Skynet splits us up, there’s nothing we can do to get together, and if we spend one hour to do so (which fails cause half the members rage quit, or don’t have more time to spend in-game), the event gets cancelled..
Like i said above, i like more people.. Zerg? No. If Anet lowers the player limit cap, it’ll benefit the game, me thinks. As for manual instance selection? I’ve recommended that for god knows how many times already, but still no movement from A-net about that, or anything else we “rant” about here.
The only thing i sympathize you for, is the truth you say behind lag and ruined communities. Leaving a player dead cause he tried to help you get down the champ, is something i would never do. In fact, sometimes i end up dying trying to revive said player. And then we end up both dead, but that’s part of the fun of it…
There are two threads about Skynet already, you should add your voice there, but not cause you want to solo champions. We’re trying to make things better, as the way Skynet behaves now, rips all friends/guildsmates/RPlayers apart. Plus, it gathers way too many people in one area. Also, when it comes to EU players, there’s chaos everywhere, due to the multilingual issues Skynet brought.
While i welcome more players in one map, getting a zerg swarm around me devouring the earth i walk on, it’s not my cup of tea. Hopefully, A-net will hear our feedback/cries about it, and adjust the kitten thing accordingly. If not, i fear there won’t be any game left to enjoy, for any of us.
I am an eu player, and i don’t speak the language you speak of as mother language.
And no i don’t play RP but i know what it is and i don’t have anything against players who do it.
I think it is nice that you do it.
And i don’t know why they assualt you for speaking english, i have no prob with it.And i understand that you want it to be better, everything can always be better, but sometimes it’s good to say good things, i liked my experience till now with the megaserver so that is wat i said.
i havend seen anything bad for me with the megaserver so why would’t i say what is bad about it, as i have nothing bad to say. (till now)
English is not my native language either. But what i describe happens often, especially on peak hours. As for the assaults? That makes two of us. Some people are trolls, you can’t save them all… But before the megaserver, Piken Square was lacking said trolls.
I’m in the game since the beta, and i usually never spend time in the forum for no reason. MMOs change, we adapt. The megaserver is a reason to make me…. “scream”.
I hope you won’t have issues with the megaserver like many of us do, but no. I don’t want it to be better. I want it to work. I want to have fun with the game, like i used to. I want to feel comfortable and level up my brand new engineer, which is now “locked” in Kessex Hills. Simply cause the zone won’t load, due to heavy population. And when it does load, i get either disconnections, bad lag, and of course a massive fps drop to 11 – 13….from 59 – 60 i used to get.
I won’t go into details on how it has affected my guild or friends, as we’re never together anymore. We’re just scattered everywhere, like napkins swept away by a gust of wind.
So i suppose if you like leveling up solo, and in PuGs simply by joining the now full “trains” you encounter everywhere, i’ll rest my case.
Either way, to return to the thread’s theme, yes. I do find leveling much more appealing now (at least it was, before the megaserver took over most of the game). Not due to the trains, or more players, simply cause as you move up the levels, your character got the “all powerful” feel it lacked before. It also feels like your character is learning stuff as he/she moves up the levels, and it brings satisfaction.
Plus, i love the dual sigil equips, they made my weapons so much powerful now, especially the chance to do stuff on critical hits. Much more fun, and makes you feel sorry for the creature you attack (not really).
