I'm a "casual" player. I'm an RN, I work 10h shifts including every other weekend, and I spend time with hubby and friends away from my computer. At the same time, I've been gaming since there were no hard drives and we used cassettes, chortling over text adventures. I was a fan of DOOM.WAD back in the day. These days, if an MMORPG game becomes a grind, demands that I do raids to progress, or focuses only on a mini-game (I'm looking at you, SWL and your agent system), I move on. I've been truly enjoying GW2 because I love the relaxed feel of it. I've been able to work through collections on my own, or by participating in open world events to obtain my griffon. I can set my own goals and tasks - working on story, completing a map, hunting down MPs, participating in metas, RP. I'm slowly chipping away at the collection towards my ascended long bow (stuck/working on leveling the various HoT masteries that let me use the vendors and obtaining more HoT MPs, oh, and killing the stealth mushroom... thing once I get the ability to see it). I've never set foot into a fractal or raid because I don't have the time. My crafting is minimally leveled, again, because I don't have the time. Reading all of this time gating stuff and the need for high level crafting, I'm pretty much resigning myself to not having an opportunity for this mount. Which IS a bummer but I can live with it. What DOES worry me is what I'm seeing about the mastery line being locked and not letting you toggle? Is that true? I have other masteries in PoF to train if I can't have this one.
