Guild Wars 2

it would be more nicer if the Minis was keep in towns only . and not let out side of towns ever again .

No. Nothing is added for fun’s sake anymore. Now, things are only added so the devs don’t get bored between gem store updates.

:P

so very close to the truth . and the even more sad part is the gem store updates. are noting more then a pile of junk and not worth bothering with at all

BlackfoxKitsune.7480:

ever since their “mega server” roll out we have been getting this issue and its getting worse and worse and worse like we forewarned them when it was first rolled out. They didn’t listen then, and now the game is getting unplayable which in turn will sadly kill the game. they need to give us back our ability to change instance, not have us all mashed together in one big mega server because it if very very clearly unstable.

this is one of the main reasons why iam looking at and for a new game now. sad part is they will drag to get this fixed

i see no need for this in the game at all. and to me it would be no more different then going to a town . only difference is the town would be empty besides we got something i think it is called home instance . and if any thing it be nice to see more add there then this #justsaying

Housing wouldn’t be inside cities only. It could be in the explorable zones. In there, I could make crafting stations there.

pass much rather have good high end drop,s in pve instead or even a few need fixes instead of housing

I’m sorry to ask this stupid noob question. But, I am not really very smart on the whole trait and build system. I experiment.

But, it looks like, to me, that one of the complaints about the new trait system is that you can’t just pick the one trait you want from the line and move on to other traits you want because those other traits might be in a different line and you’re stuck with a whole trait line for the benefit of one particular trait you wanted.

But, are you taking into account that the skills in the trait line you didn’t want still do add some usefulness to your character?

Like on my Mesmer, there was a skill that allowed you to dodge and leave a clone behind you. I never picked that trait because I didn’t see it as useful as another trait I wanted.

But with this new trait system, I have the benefit of that trait as well as the ones I also wanted. So, now, 3x out of 5x when I dodge, I’m leaving that clone behind me and it’s very helpful to me when I’m trying to flee through places and drop mobs, whatnot.

It seemed to me that so many players get on such a rigid platform for their builds and they don’t consider the minute benefits of other traits that weren’t worth traiting with before. I know you have all experimented, invested heavily in time, effort and gold to come up with the best build for your class/profession and are unhappy if you no longer have the flexibility to recreate that build now with the new trait system. That is a BIG down side to making such a large change in the game and the devs should have had that in mind when they did this.

I understand that players have the most successful builds that work best for them and their play style. That is a personal thing. Is it that some of you are just reluctant to change or is your build really diminished now because of the inflexibility of not being able to pick and chose only the traits you want?

My feeling right now is that I am happy with the new trait line because, one, it’s kind of simpler for me. I’m not as up on all the mechanics of builds as most of you are. So, it’s a simplified system for someone like me. And I am getting very good information in this thread that is helping me understand how to build my character better.

That’s why I say, sorry for this , stupid noob question about whether you are discounting the benefits of the traits you never wanted before now that you have some of them.

in the name of kittens some one who get,s it all . i think iam going to faint or cry now . if i can i will say this there is no noob questions . just questions not ask a bright mind is most impressive . sigh

the new trait system is bad . shame they wont fix it and make it so you can change your skills out and in . to what you want and need to use for what you are going for.

I don’t get this. You can change the traits and skill any time you want to adapt to any situation.

iam not supersized at all you do not get this concept at all . but putting it like that yes and you could even do it if you was out side of a town . and not have to wait to do it. with a skill build loading system . where you safe your skill sets and you can load them when and where ever you need them . and you do not have to be in town to load them . bet that blows your kitten marbles out of the water huh LOL :P

I can change my skills and traits at any point I want even during a dungeon run, in fact when I’m doing dungeons on my Thief I might change my build 5-7 times. I don’t have to wait and I don’t have to be in town. Maybe you are talking about another game?

no you just think you can but you can not do that at all in this game. as it is impossible the way the game is set up now . to use necro or monk skills if your a warrior or thief . it just does not happen . sounds more like your thinking way to hard . you just do not get it . that is plain and clear . go play gw1 and then maybe you just might get it . but i doubt it .

kitten did I read?

You do know that you’re on the GW2-forum and not on the GW1-forum? Because in GW2 it’s impossible for a class to use the skills of another class. Also GW2 doesn’t have Monks (and GW1 doesn’t have Thiefs, which makes your post even more confusing). What game are you talking about?

in kitten this only proves my point.s at lest one is still able to have fun in this game by them selfs to a point .

There is no monk in the game… this really makes absolutely no sense.

If you haven’t noticed the “new trait system” is about the recent specialization change not a comparison between GW1 and GW2.

i see it all now very clear . oh well time to give up and go back to farming as no one will get it . no matter how you spell it out

Electra.7530:

I think there is a lot of “microanalysis” of the story line, especially at Claw Island that really isn’t beneficial to experiencing the overall theme. This whole battle chapter of Claw Island was supposed to be immensely huge, although constraints in computer programing maybe, the content is quite downscaled.

But, you aren’t supposed to be able to swim around and see (or to know) that your beloved mentor dropped at the gate unceremoniously. You’re only supposed to know that the battle is lost (and you’ve got comrades limping on both your arms depending on you (in your heroism) to get them to safety while they honor the stall tactic, even if it’s only for the benefit of 5 minutes by your mentor while you’re all limping and fighting to the ship.

And the writers of the story placed that element in it for an emotional charge. It’s what I pay for when I pay for entertainment like this. Good story, emotional components, enthralling, engaging me to go on and eventually when completing it, wanting more and feeling sad the whole personal story adventure is over and loving the new adventure to begin.

I want more personal stories. I want more personal adventures. It’s why I pay for this game. I like the stories.

And yes, I wish we could see our mentors again. I can think of all kinds of scenarios to do that, but the creative content belongs to the owners of this game and I’m just along for the ride. I don’t know if they are taking player suggestions into account.

It would be neat if they held a “creative content” contest like thing where we can submit our “fantasy stories” on a limited subject, such as the fallen mentor, for example. They could allow us to have some input in the actual creative aspect of the stories in the game that way if they wanted to. If they didn’t want to, well, that’s all right too. I appreciate their creative license. It’s another reason I pay for this game, for the fantasy content.

i agree with you fully on this . and not only that it would be nice to see event,s with some good drops like wine or cakes too.

Elitism is harming this game fully with out a question at all . if this game was like gw1 i like to see these crackers take on a mob . and watch them loose badly . or a boss champ even . the thing is they will never get is they ant a box of cracker jack,s and all that . by any means. maybe one day Anet will put out a real HM mode like in gw1 for this game and see how these kids like them apples LOL

then people will find the best 4-5 classes to do that HM on and the other classes will cry elitism again

they can only wish they could .but they would not be able to have 4 or 5 classes. as with HM it would be just only you and you ONLY . and lvl110 beasts to fight and lvl 120 champ bosses to fight as well . but if you got lucky enough to beat it by your self the rewards would be very much worth it. and that would put a end to all there crying.

then who cares if it’s a solo instance? what is the point you are trying to make?

nice you ask the question even tho you missed the point . and it is simple with Elitism does not belong in this game at all . not one part does it belong here in this game not even in guild,s . thus this system would put the end to it.

so your solution for elitism is removing dungeons completely and making them into solo instances? great idea 10/10

i can see you missed my points all together . and no dungeons would stay but the champs in them would be lvl 130 . and you could only have 5 players go in at one time. and the solo instances as you put it would only come in pve. and there would be bosses all over the place 3 or 4 in every map . and the drops from them would not be soul or account bound too . meaning you can use them on any toon . and the bosses would be lvl 120

It’s hard to get your points when they are so badly written. I really can’t understand your sentences..

then maybe this will help you get the points more easy . since your not getting a very clear point at all . and maybe you should try playing gw1 as well too . it would give you a better educated understanding maybe http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Boss

Arantheal.7396:

Why do most people not search for Mesmers / Rangers / Necros?
- Because their AI often enough breaks the stack (doesn’t include necros).
- Because they don’t bring unique group-buffs (spotter is never needed, since the party is already on 100% crit-chance without it)
- no reasonable dps
- are usually brought by people who are special snowflakes, new or refuse to play the meta because reasons, hence turn each run into something awful per default.

And now we speak -again- about why you think you’re surrounded by elitists:
- Because you can’t read the lfg and join groups that were not searching for you.
- Because you don’t open your own lfg, clearly stating free-for-all.
- Because you don’t join a guild that is doing casual runs guild-internal. They exist, just saw such a recruitment text today in LA.
- Because you’re too shallow to accept that the mayority of people just farms dungeons for the gold, not because they like them, and rather do so fast instead of “immersive”, so stop trying to shove your preferences down the “elitists’” throat.
- Because you are the minority, just like RP’ers. They organize themselves in guilds. Do the same.

it will be ok . let it out and have a good cry more often you just might feel more better . #justsaying oh btw some times it is far better to do thing,s all by your self . where you are challenged and do not have others with you on the same map at the same time. forcing you to go it alone and make it work out for your own self . #justsaying

Agile Sound.7516:

Is there any possibility that these characters; Tybalt, Sieran, and Forgal, could return to the game? In my opinion, their sacrifice at Claw Island just seemed way too short lived. I can acknowledge that their deaths acted as a plot point to boost the story and motivate our characters to sort of grow on their own and later aid Trahearne to become the Pact leader and defeat Zahitan, but now that Zaihtan’s dead I think it’s time to bring them back. Whether it be from another dimension where their all Revenant’s; or their current Professions, with no memory of their former feats with the hero; new personalities maybe? maybe not? Allow them to form a group similar to that of Destiny’s Edge and Kasmeer’s band aiding the hero in the fight against the next Elder Dragon after Mordem. It would also be a lot more nostalgic than adjusting to a new character from scratch as well.

I acknowledge that the Pact acts as a peace treaty between each order, although is there any possibility that the Order’s we’ve chosen can depict more diversity for quest content that will be aimed towards that specific Order?

it would be nice if they was brought back into the game . they did not get out and about much . maybe they will bring them back as ghosts or something like that. and have them fight on your side too

So what do you think? Yes? No? Maybe So?

Hardcore modes never work out in online games because people lag.

One dropped packet during a fractal and all your progress is lost.

Also, since you cant come back the rest of the group suffers aswell. Nobody will even want to play with you because if you die theyre left with 4 people.

you sure never played guild wars 1 . in that game with HM it never was a problem at all and no lag what so ever or any thing that you speak of . and there was no fractal
on top of it . all there was pvp and they did not let hard mode happen at all in pvp. also too people did not play together on the same map like they do in guild wars 1 every one had there own maps . and every thing was good even in missions too

The hardmode in GW1 is not even close to what OP is asking for. Jaysus, you guys aren’t even reading the OP post.

GW1 did have something similar for a long while though. The Survivor achievement.

Anyone displaying that got kicked from FoW/UW groups because they’d always conveniently disconnect as soon as things started to get tricky.

yeah i rember all that stuff too funny . think that is why i just stayed with pve doing that and did not bother with going other places LOL. and that is like trying to get the Survivor achievement untill they came out with the sun spear pack . i for get the name of it right now tho. but when that pack came out .i made getting Survivor achievement very easy and do able . shame they do not have none of this stuff in this game like that eh???? we would be loving it and the rest of the people would be freaking out in map chat iam going to die now LMAO!!!!!!

You are not the brightest light bulb in the factory are you? You have to read the thread to see how things get modified as people add input. For example, one person suggested this idea may make for a fun “tower” type instance where people see how far they can get as a group without dyeing. there have also been talk of allowing limited item transfers, diss-allowing pvp, having it like hm in gw1, and other things. This is how ideas work, people state an idea and it gets input and is modified, you will learn this concept in kindergarten when you get there (sorry if I spoiled it). This is why you need to read the entire thread… not just the first post and start blabbing. As far as eve goes, if you are dumb in it or play anything more that 5.0 you risk losing everything, play the game if you don’t believe me. This fight alone cost 300k real life money http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2014/01/29/massive-eve-online-battle-could-cost-500000-in-real-money/ I would rather lose a gw2 character.
If any of those people had their clones on the local stations, they likely lost those too so bye bye skills (They are redoing clones so not sure how this would play out now but when that fight happened people lost skills that took a very long time to get). In gw2 skills are passively gained right now, a level 80 will have all the skills they want. This is not the case in games like EVE where it can take 25+ years to max skills (http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1494071 ). If you cannot see why a chance to save skills would be welcome there but not needed here then you are just too dumb to be reasoned with. It sticks to the common theme in this thread, people doing dumb things need to lose items and there needs to be some type of risk to have diversity.

Add in a mode which will undoubtedly be hailed as the ‘real’ way to play, further dividing the community and marginalizing casual players, or anyone who doesn’t want hundreds or thousands of hours to be lost to a momentary lapse in attention?

Funny you say that as many have said there would be no people that wanted to play it.

glad i never played this eve online game. and 300k hell that makes me want to keep the 300k in the bank . and go back to playing Mario :P.

even tho Anet will not come out with another pack for at lest a year or so .with hot on the way now. if and its a big if at that. but if there was another pack to come out for this game in a year or 2. it would be nice to see hm in pve maps only with more higher rewards as well as drops . and being able to change your skills as you wish as well as a second class like ranger/war and a few new pvp wvw maps and add bosses that dropped high end stat green weapons like gw1 had . and heroes would be a nice add for pve as well too

Wanze.8410:

Publishing an unfinished expansion wont win any of those players over.

thats right and they never did it with gw1 why change now when it,s ready its ready . and it made for a more better game and enjoyable as well too

yet they think there is no problem with these world bosses at all . doing this is not right ( defense squad as a personal taxi for their guildies then tries to kick out people who joined to actually do defense?) guilds doing this to taxi in there guild mates should not even get any drops and yet those that say there is not a problem with TT or some of the world bosses . yeah right what ever even tho it will not happen it be nice if this was fixed so it does not happen any more. but we know how that goes

been too long of a day :P. at frist i did not even read his posts till now. and yeah i see that sigh but you know what hm is in gw1 so ahh i think it would be a good fit for gw2 if they had it for pve. as long as they did it close to the old hm but we know they would not do it. but still it would be fun . think that is why i still enjoy gw1 including the maps with just you and your heroes on them

Was chatting in LA map chat and we had an idea to break the zerker meta. What if a hardcore mode was implemented? Make an option at char creation to only be able to die once and in return all loot tables are shifted up one level for that char. This would allow an alternative path to legendary items (anything that currently drops ascended) and would give a great outlet for high end players to test their skills. Of course you could also add special titles and skins for anyone that gets to certain levels in this mode (frac 50 hardcore anyone?) and would up the value of non-zerker gear.

this would be good to see in pve . and with out the aid of any zerg party,s at all . and make it more like it was in GW1 when you hit 20 and beat the game pve . you got HM =hardmode . you even had heros and henchman to help you really good if you gave them the right skill builds . now something like that in this game with out a question would really make this game 10x more fun . and like i said NO zerg party,s at all allowed!!!! just you and your skills and if they add heroes too you could not honestly ask for a more better game of fun and adding to the game as well too

So you want a GW2 version of GW1. Why not just play Dark Souls and be done with it? I mean for a start this would split the player base, and go against everything ANet have done to try and get more people to game together(mega servers).

ahh now i got to say this is most welcomed and refreshing to see some one who gets it. and to answer your question yes and i know there are others out there that would love to have what was promised to them . and that is a GW2 version of GW1 fully and with out a question . and put it like this the first mmo i ever played in my life was GW1 . i got fed up fully with first person shooters . and went to this mmo game called Guild wars . i can say i looked at other games but found them not to my liking or interests compared to guild wars . and to a point guild wars 2 as well . so no way i can change games . if i did tho it would have to be a non internet game and system like Mario and that is something i got to put up with on the mega servers deal even tho i honestly hate having other people on the same map as me at the same time unless they are helping in a quest or mission . and i still play gw1 too as well .

Was chatting in LA map chat and we had an idea to break the zerker meta. What if a hardcore mode was implemented? Make an option at char creation to only be able to die once and in return all loot tables are shifted up one level for that char. This would allow an alternative path to legendary items (anything that currently drops ascended) and would give a great outlet for high end players to test their skills. Of course you could also add special titles and skins for anyone that gets to certain levels in this mode (frac 50 hardcore anyone?) and would up the value of non-zerker gear.

this would be good to see in pve . and with out the aid of any zerg party,s at all . and make it more like it was in GW1 when you hit 20 and beat the game pve . you got HM =hardmode . you even had heros and henchman to help you really good if you gave them the right skill builds . now something like that in this game with out a question would really make this game 10x more fun . and like i said NO zerg party,s at all allowed!!!! just you and your skills and if they add heroes too you could not honestly ask for a more better game of fun and adding to the game as well too

if this is even put into the game and it is the worst idea ever . doing this it will no longer be guild wars 2 . it might as well be wow and charge to play . and it will make pve no longer any fun and will only take away from the game and the players . and a lot of players will leave this game for that reason .

I need you to elaborate on this. Raids will kill the game because they will be the thing to do, or because they will be locked to servers?

Raids…yes. Server locked…no. or maybe even passively. Megaserver wasn’t a bad idea, but not allowing a way to get to pick your map sucks. As long as there is a low cost was to join friends on other serves for a run, I’d be in favor.

i can do that for you . and try to make it more clear . ok if you never played the first Guild wars with it,s packs . you missed out on a lot of fun . but if you did then you should under stand where iam coming from . but i will try to make it more clear for you:). ok thos of us players who played GW1 kinda was given the idea that GW2 would be some what to a point like GW1 far as pve and so forth goes. which many of us players from that game enjoyed fully and spent many good hours doing it and missions too. and if you wanted pvp fine np you could do that too . but in guild wars2 what we was promised and what we was given was to some was 3 or 4 different thing,s . and we kinda got pve but not like the gw1 pve. and so now there is talks out of the blue about riads and so forth coming to the game. even tho we have to wait and see how it will be put into the game . there is some of us already thinking this raid stuff will be put into pve where it is not welcomed at all. and that is the part that could kill this game all together for a lot of people if raids was put into pve. and as the way i do see we do have wvw and pvp .to me that should be enough even more so with these world bosses that are in pve maps . and i will also say iam some what used to the maps the way they are now. compared to gw1 you want into a map out of a town .it was only you and your party of people or heroes and hechmen and that is all you had the whole time. till you got back to town now i will also say if they locked the maps for this it would be kinda bad in a way . if they could not keep up with the people at that time in the game server wise to a point . and your right on that i will say but not allowing a way to get to pick your map sucks and not in a good way too. also too as well as i can say i agree with you on this as well As long as there is a low cost was to join friends on other serves for a run, I’d be in favor and you and your friends should be able to play together even if your not on the same servers . and i do not see them changing that part of it at all . but with raids like i said i think it will only hurt the game and not make it better . hope this helps to clear up my post

Sorry, but I’ve not read anywhere about raids coming to GW2. “Challanging group content” dose not have to mean raids. Triple trouble and the redone Teq where challanging when they first came out. It could mean we have a lot more of that. Also they have said they don’t want to do instanced content like raids. As they feel it’s not in the spirit of GW2. They want everyone to be able to play everything. That’s why fractles are havening a make over.

Also, wall of text. Very hard to read.

noting to be sorry for or about and the same here . only place i seen talk of these things is here. and i hope that is all it is just noting more then talk at most. now i will say Challenging group content" is far more different thing and topic in my book i will also say this too while more Challenging content is welcomed . but for more Challenging group content it would be more nicer if they put in pvp or wvw or something like that. and only gave more Challenging pve content too as well and left the other stuff out of it all together. and even tho i have not got noting to do with pvp or wvw or fractles it is nice to hear them making over the fractles for thos that enjoy that sort of thing, and not sure how to make it bigger for you as i do not type in caps LOL :P

It’s about time! This is the major selling feature for a lot of players.

it is also something that will make a lot of players leave this game for good if this is even put into the game and it is the worst idea ever . doing this it will no longer be guild wars 2 . it might as well be wow and charge to play . just saying

holy hell…he literally just said the same thing less than an hour ago. just saying.

I am in favor of challenging content regardless of what it is, raids, dumbgeons, Super SAB, but they will face opposition if the skill gate is to high for some to climb into. Hopefully they will continue to build bridges for the less skilled/dedicated to take a crack at new challenges

I am in favor of challenging content too as well and hope we get that but yet riads iam not in favor of them at all . it would be good if they went back to a more of a mmo game kinda like in the way the first guild wars was i will even take it one more step higher . it be nice if they add heroes to this game as well as some times you can not play with your friends for what ever reason . and yet you want the challenging content and still be able to get it done with the need skills too

Its mostly WvW players who care about servers. If you are going to make raids in a game where the pve has megaservers, then why tie it to servers? Are your friends and guildies who are on separate servers going to have to transfer to do this?

good questions and lets only hope if they do this . it is not in any way hooked up to pve at all in any shape or form .

Raid is coming?

lets just say if there is even a smell of a raid coming to this game at all .
then be ready for what happens next because of it . or put it like this if Anet brings in way shape or form of Raids of any type . like they have in other games then be ready
for a lot of people to leave this game for good and not look back, as Anet will have
very badly messed this game up . as it will not be a good fit for this game no matter how you look at it . or try to put it just not good for this game at all.

There was an entire CDI thread (topic started by devs, in which the devs actually participate in the discussion) focused around discussing “raid-like” content in GW2, and (if they were to add it) in what unique form it should take to be conductive to GW2.
A lot of good ideas came from that thread, and there’s no real reason to think it would ruin GW2.
Incredibly briefly boiling down the thread to its basics (based on memory), it came down to "challenging content for medium sized groups, which adequately engages a group of that size (aka no zerging), in an instanced environment with no “gear treadmill” (aka no more powerful gear)".

i did not see that topic .but lets say if they did bring raids to this game and put it lets say with wvw or pvp. and had it so it did not mess up pve. that would be the best and about only way it could work out well. but if they was to put it with pve i do not see it going as good. they just need to not change the pve end. if they do that then they will be fine. this way every one gets what they want . and no one gets something taken away .

This is just more of the same. People who don’t want to take the time to organize their own events whining because the people who do take their own time to do it want to play with who they want to play with. Get over it, quit whining like little girls and organize your own map. This is the same crap as the people who whine that there are zerker only LFGs instead of just making their own non-zerker LFGs.

talk about being blind as a bat . you sure do not get this post and points made in this post at all that is very clear

I get them, they’re just meaningless whining. If I spend a bunch of time organizing a map and then my own friends can’t get in because it is full I am taking my organized map with me to a new map where my friends can get in. Anybody that got left behind was a lazy afker or too self-important to join any of the parties/teamspeak and don’t deserve to come along.

Well.. I guess you didn’t organize it very well then if your own friends/guildies cant even get in… that speaks volumes and is one of the indicators for players not to come within a country mile of one of your organized events.. just like the guilds were speaking of in this thread… thanks for the heads up.

very well said and yes we see them coming . on the maps then you know it,s time to leave the map and hope you get a more better one .

oh great sigh oh well i will just put them all in the trash and hope i get no more boosters at all from any chests . sigh

Guild Wars one never had a PvP in PvE option. Guild Wars 2 never advertised themselves as going to have a PvP in PvE option. If the OP is going to refuse to buy the expansion for a 3 year old game because of this, a game that never had this and never advertised this is going to be an option then all I can say is, have fun in vanilla or another game of your choice.

A special thanks to penelopehannibal for 2 drinking hits, dueling and holding ANet to ransom.

now that is way too funny thanks for making my day best post i seen in a long time

Add an option where you can “flag up” and fight other players who also decide to “flag up(not regular players)”, it would make map completion actually fun! The idea here is that only people who chose to “flag up” can fight each other, having no affect on people who are not “flagged up”.

this is not a blizzard wow game dude this is Anet and they will never ever ever ever never ever do that here even if hell freezes over . still will not happen and a whole lot of us players is glad that is not like that .

Yes, I miss those events too, and I wonder why they didn’t implement more.

I think this can be answered the same way as questions such as…

Why didn’t they add:

• the emotes that were in Guild Wars 1?
• the <insert class here> from Guild Wars 1?
• build templates from Guild Wars 1?

etc.

The answer to all of these is “Who knows?”

If we never got anything else carried over from GW 1, I would be 100% satisfied if we got build templates. I miss those more than anything else.

true about that if we do not get events at the very lest build templates and being able to change skills on the fly in towns would be most welcome

Who are you yelling at? Those of us not in organized guilds or those in them?

I typically get there up to an hour ahead of time and am working the entire time to make sure all of the teams have enough players (and pointing out which teams need people). This means everything from /map chat to talking to some people individually.

I welcome help from anyone. I do NOT welcome someone coming in later and trying to take over just because they did their organization elsewhere. Snooze you lose.

very well said and agreed on here fully

Most organized groups prepare well in advance and if they do leave maps, most do with plenty of time for the map to organize themselves. Teq is easy folks. You need very little time for set up these days. Triple trouble was intended by Anet to be for large organized groups. It makes sense that large guilds want to get as many of the people on teamspeak on a map to better ensure a triple decap. They have every kitten right to be on the map as you do. If you want to place blame, place blame on Anet for not giving us instanced content. Even so, most of these guilds that run TT gladly accept non-members to join in and openly give their teamspeak out for people to hop on. These aren’t troll guilds at all and there is no problem for Anet to “fix.” That is unless you’ve run into a real troll guild who is badgering and being rude to you. Because that is unacceptable. But simple organized groups that kill teq or TT? Sorry, not an issue.

Sorry, is an issue. and one that need to be addressed and put a end to guilds doing this to other players . that are not in a guild or are in a guild there should be no harassment by a guild on one or two players . not only that honestly there is no need at all for (TS)-team speak or any other voice chat as in my book . it is a major waste and takes away from the game fully thus said some of us do not want to nor will hop or getting on any ones TS just because you say its ok to do so some of us much rather enjoy our game with out voices in our ears .and enjoy the game for what it is . but yes your right on this one and only one point and that is this. simple organized groups that kill teq that is not the problem at all

The large organized groups that kill teq and TT do not harass other players and if they did they can be reported to the guild leaders because such behavior is not allowed or accepted by these guilds. If people are being mean and rude to others they should be reported for sure. But the groups I’ve run with have always been polite to members and non members alike.
there are a few out there that are doing this. but from what i seen so far not one thing has happened to them guilds for doing this. and iam glad the person that made this post about this problem did it. as it goes to show there is a problem and it is going on and being done by a few guilds .. and while we can not say names it will take you only one time to spot them once you came across them .

As for these smaller guilds that get upset at people for putting food and banners down… That’s just bizarre. I don’t understand that type of behavior. Alas I’m not sure there is much that can be done other than avoiding their maps.

and we are not saying any thing about smaller guilds get upset at people for putting food and banners down. as that does not happen . and we all are happy and welcome fully any guild or players putting down food and banners for all . not sure where you got that idea from . but it is not the case by any means . and it is good when guilds put down banners for all. and i make it a point to thank them for that as well as thos putting out food too be it a one person that has done it for all or a guild big or small that has done that for every one.

People in this very thread were complaining about this behavior. Go back and read the comments. I’ve not seen it myself, but apparently there are some groups that will leave the map if someone else puts food or banners down.

ok i might have missed that but yet any one who crys over free food buffs and banners . then that is there own problem to deal with and not even the same problem as the guilds who harass the players who take a turret . and want them to give up the turret . just all so in the name they can have there whole guild on the turrets and boats . and then just set on the turret and do not one thing but set there the whole time. and if we could put the names out with out getting banned take it to the bank they would have been named by now.

btw you can still play this great game all over again . and get your hom point,s for gw2 while they fix the hom in gw2 if they ever do that is and this week they are dropping lock picks for the chest,s . and so forth got to say gw1 is still a blast to play and for $20.00 you get the game and packs
