Because repeatedly killing the same mobs in the same area over and over isn’t content. It’s a grind.
Because GW2 isn’t a game in which repeatedly killing the same mobs over and over in a small area is the intended play pattern.
because it rewarded significantly better xp and money than actually playing the game in the intended manner.
Further, it’s a grind that takes up map spots from people that could be contributing to the zone meta. It’s the same problem that the GvG people caused in WvW before that situation was dealt with.
They should nerf the CoF mob XP while they’re at it.
Killing the same mobs over and over isn’t any different then doing the same events over and over. It’s the same grind, different style.
If killing non event related mobs wasen’t the " intended" way to paly the game, why even have them there? All mobs would spawn when an event started, or be apart of an event. There is no “intended” way to play the game.
Thirdly, 5 players killing spiders on a map isnt going to affect the event meta, there’s dozens of players running around exploring, doing mini games, gathering, nerfing spider farming isn’t going to maike a difference at all.
The spider farm nerf really is pointless, it’s just 1 less thing to do in the new expansion, if nobody would’ve thought about farming them, they never would’ve been nerfed, it wasen’t any form of exploiting, it was just a smooth path of killing elites.
In my opnion I feel anet made the wrong decision when making them non elites, they should’ve just nerfed the drop rates of loot if anything, farming the spiders was pretty fun, especially with friends to talk to.
Research Destruction for the Alchemists lab in Malchors Leap is also bugged, the meta event is broken.
Still bugged, also my client crashes and asks me to send in a bug report whenever I kill any champion thats apart of this event in this zone.
i’m queuing ranked and unranked spvp matches with over 4000 spvp games played, 70%+ win\loss ratio overall, and im queuing into and with players with less then 400 achievement points, running around in default gear with default builds. the mmr system is obviously not working correctly right now, though it didnt seem too noticable before the game went free to play, but now its extremely obvious, my matches are either super boring, just 1v3ing people without even having to think, or my team running around exploring the map as the other team wins lol.
We had every player completely exit the match and it ended for us, if anyone else has this problem.
hi everyone in my match is stuck in a stronghold, nobody can leave without being ported back in, tried logging, exiting, everything, the has ended and we recieved our reward but the clock is stuck at 0:00, can GM come end the match please?
http://puu.sh/kwzLs/f74e944374.jpg found this in stronghold…. as my entire match and every player is stuck in the game still.. adventuring around for eternity …
Still glitched even after todays hotfix sadface
Hi i’m trying to change my reward track to silverwastes but whenever i activate it, it just changes back to arah \ whatever other dungeon one i selected, its only happening for silverwastes.
Hey, Anet… Zennimax (and I) appreciate all the extra time you’re giving me to try ESO for the next 7-14 days. Thanks!!!
I’d rather WvW in GW2, but if EoTM-only and ESO are my two choices, then I guess I get to see how good/bad WvW is in ESO.
I like how this restriction coincides with that game’s release. That’s some great timing! XD
Yeah hopefully the wvw in ESO isn’t too good otherwise I may not come back to GW2 because of this.
They announced it via every medium except the actual game – so those who don’t read the forums get a nice surprise when they pay for their transfers. Gotta love that communication.
More like Anet gets a nice surprise when they see multiple disputs on paypal =)
Eveeryone just open disputs and chargebacks with arena net for your gem purchases, and they’ll learn from their mistakes.
GW2 pvp is GREAT ! But .. if you dont play a warrior the game sucks!

I think you mean current everything gameplay.
there’s 2 pvp backpieces that you can get from match win chests and bought from glory vendors for 7500 glory each, you can also buy backpacks off the gem store and convert to pvp
Nothing like dying from AOE hammer attacks while not even being targetted #crazyskill

Putting poison on warriors almost makes healing signet useless, they can have lots of stun breaks, yes, but they cant have perma stability, they can have 8 seconds of it, it may seems like perma because they could use berserker stance to stop your immediate dots, then pop balanced stance when they realize you’re going to fear them. I dont know what the ability is called but necros get that ability that gives them a green HP bar, you can easily out live an 8 second stability with that, and if you cant then maybe you should reconsider what you’re doing. And if you’re still getting bulls rushed and GS #2’d and its a problem then its DEFINITELY a player skill problem lol.
If the warriors are playing a build that counters your build then you’re obviously at a disadvantage, I play ele\thief\eng\warrior and don’t have much of a problem with warriors, dual swords \ longbow in a 1v1 situation can be annoying, but most warriors nowdays are running hammer\longbow, and all of the hammer stuns are very predictable especially the F1, its incredibly easy to dodge roll cause of the animation. I dont know what to tell you as a necro, but when i play my warrior i feel its about 50\50 with necros 1v1.
Any of servers uncontested on the NA?
Hello, I saw this person awhile back with this armor on, I’ve done some research on the wiki and can’t seem to find what it is, here’s some screen shots of what it looks like ( yes its the human female with Twilight not the asura =P ) Hopefully someone knows, i would love to know what it’s called and how to obtain it.
