I wouldnt say they are hard but underwhelming, they are boring compared to most events, after having played through a few of the higher level DEs I was hoping dungeons would be more interesting, I mean having to look for what the boss is doing, and avoiding that one Axe that is going to one shot you in the actual world while doing a DE is pretty amazing, its the kind of mechanic that really lends itself to moving away from the so called trinity.
But my god dungeons are pretty bad, they are basically just a zerg fest of mobs wacking at people in an almost random fashion, I am pretty lucky I suppose being a ranger I have noticed some dungeons are tweaked to attack the ranged no matter what while in others mobs never go for the ranged player, so I get to spam skills at the back while people get wacked in the front, I am hoping other dungeons are more interesting than the ones up to level 78 cause they have been dreadful.
Also whats up with a non usable looking for group option ( it does exist in your friends window thingy ) and what is up to putting a lvl 78 instance in a level 70 area what are people supposed to do go around every city and spam LFM because no one is looking for group to a lvl 78 instance in a level 70 area that is remotely within the correct level range, not only that but teleports cost a fortune. They need to fix dungeons and group finding.
But hey I dont particularly mind I really just want to complete the dungeons but it has gone to the point where I have to start begging my friends to actually group up for them cause they all seem to hate the dungeon design with a passion they just dont want to do them anymore, I dont blame them, they are pretty lacking at this point, DEs are much more interesting.
He exposed the fact GW2 development is too cheap to be able to "roll back" acquisitions.
He didn't change the code and he didn't bot. He used what was sold to him in a box, worked it to its fullest potential, and got punished because of GW2's incapacity to deal with such contingency.
READ: GW2 GROSS INABILITY TO FIX SAID OCCURRANCES WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN "BANNING"
I recommend to anyone who asks, "Do not buy GW2 because they will ban your account, effectively stealing your money, because of their own mistakes and short-sightedness" and I feel very comfortable doing so.
I knew in beta this game was a steaming pile; a game better for 10 year olds. I'm so glad I didn't buy this garbage.

Another person trying to justify shoddy product.
I've seen people exploit in bad games, and in good games... the ability to exploit doesn't make a bad game. But be my guest, and continue your little insignificant anti-GW2 crusade ;-)

I think he's pretty much dead-on.
I really wanted to like the game but I think the PvE is pretty bland and pretty much lost my interest... actually it never really grabbed my interest. I'm sure the game gets much better once you get into PvP but since that's not really my thing... I just don't think this is really something I'll invest a lot of time in at the moment. But since there's no subscription fees, I'm not really too broken up about it.
I've seen people exploit.. even "accidentally exploit"... in halfway-good games and had their rewards removed, netting wasted time.. Feel free to keep trying to defend this crap excuse of a game development.
Oh I don't really need to defend anything... the ratings on the various review sites do that for me.
I just don't agree with any justification of exploiting, which you did in your previous posts. Not to mention you post misinformation, since the offenders got their gains removed.
If you're going to bash a game, try to rely on facts, and don't just make up stuff.

I told you he is not that kind of a person, what more do you want to know?
No comment.
And people who accidentally used the 21 karma did not get banned or suspended. If people bought 50 or even hundreds, they knew it was an exploit.
Hey, maybe it's because all the other games merely removed the exploited items that people jump onto exploits the first chance they get. I mean what have you got to lose? If the company didn't catch on, you just keep the rewards, and if they did, hey nothing lost.
Yeah, Wow would never ban anyone for that... Wait, they do it all time and as do any other MMO devs. GW1 didnt as long as Strain was in charge but he wouldnt have released the game until 2 months later.
Exploiters will be banned in any MMO except a few so small that losing a single sub is really bad, like Mortal online.
They dont, if it is really clear that someone exploited something like this the player will be banned in any MMO.
Heck, in TOR they banned people for risking higher level zones to get some better rewards. In this case it was clearly cheating, some people bought over a thousand items.
Noone got banned for getting a single one.
You can't cite one example of any other mmo banning people because of "wrong item cost on merchant".
Anyway, you're changing the subject. Kripp had nothing to do with any of the merchant bought stuff. He was banned for 3 days for buying items at nomal merchant value but combining them in the forge, which is a god damn game mechanic.
After that he acted a bit turdish and got permabanned on that account.
I'm sorry, the voice of the top guy from the pinnacle of PVE gaming (WoW, like it or not), doesn't say much?
May I introduce you to a wonderful passtime called - video games? They're fun.
blizzard will copy again from last new games some ideas as always, but tab target and old trinity and heavy gear grind please , we are full of it
People who don't play the game should be unable to talk about it (troll), i care a xit about this or that bug there's time to get better game with constant support, Wow after so many years its full of bugs and annoying ones , Diablo 3 was terry bad on first days and we are talking about a focking greed company as Blizzard that asks money for every piece of nothing in their games.
Who ? What ? Where ?
Never heard of him ijs
Because I can.
I was actually discussing this with people inmy guild. Most of us thought enrage timers would be great for world bosses. The hard part is balancing the time limit/health with the encounter to the number of people in the encounter.
Then you don´t know ArenaNet & you haven´t play GW1............................
Everquest used to give temp bans for this crap and so have other mmos
googling vendor exploit ban - i got this recent example from SWTOR giving 1 week ban for vendor exploits
fallout of vendor exploit : SWTOR Discussions

GW2 players buying hundreds/thousands of the vendor item deserved the ban
EQ2 fan sites
So I have played and beat tons of pc and video games for over 20 years. Have been alpha/beta tester in more than 350+ mmos additional to offline games and their online content and I still wouldn't go out there and claim "I'm a pro gamer and one of the best in X mmo".
Even other people praised me in many games I still only said "thank you" and were done with it cause I really think there is NO NEED to go around claiming you are this or that in any game since you aren't the only one anyway and because being elitistic is something that rather makes you look bad than good.
So I really don't understand why a person can't post something like "my review" or "my opinion about GW2" and share but rather feel the need to boast like "hey I was the best or one of the best in WoW hear my out" (which is a good mmo for "mmo newbies" but not experienced mmo players in my opinion anyway).
Also don't understand WHY someone will start comparing GW2 to WoW once again when both games are having a different approach and different systems too.
Other than that PLEASE experience the whole content first before you do half arsed reviews only because you are for whatever reason in desperate need to prove your point of some short.
He definately never did cause Factions was hardcore, the hard mode was almost impossible and some parts of EoTN, the Underworld, Fissure of Woe and Sorrows Furnace were like death traps galore.
