@Trevor Boyer.6524 I run the CM every morning with random pugs and don't have issues. If you want to get better, I can reach out and run it more often with you. As long as your on an NA server.

@Puck.3697 Yea we raid train mostly. Got a handful of people who like working with new raiders. I'll reach out. Unless you get to me first. Dhumm training around reset. I'll see if your around

Taking Commander isn't easy, whether your a Thief or not. If anyone is interested in doing more Thief content, ping this thread and I can reach out.

That's us. We help new players with endgame content. I'll reach out to you later. @Dark Viper.2378

Hey. Our guild is focused on doing endgame content with new players in mind. Myself, or one of the other commanders, take strangers and guildmates on random raid, strikes, fractals nightly. You can PM me in game as well and we'll happily bring you along. We really try to recruit other commanders who can take the reigns on content they like doing. Talk to you soon. Tdub.7628

@Shaogin.2679 Sounds like a great suggestion. I feel it doesn't qualify as abuse, as the title suggests. If the title said something more along the lines of the suggestion it may get implemented sooner or get more attention of the readers. Also your right about that comment I made. Must have been a weird day for me. I think I worded it bad.

Oof that's hard to hear. Yea KP exist, which isn't fun for new people. I wish more players would step up and take commanding roles. I try to do my part but a lot of commanders play with friends on discord, so PUG LFG is sort of empty. Getting off topic oops.

I saw a post about abuse. Then read a quality of life suggestion for the game.... Don't complain about something other players are doing in game that's not "abuse". Personally I'm not stoked about raid sellers but I'm not spending game time applying filters. Im starting my own groups and killing baddies.

@Shadowmoon.7986 Make groups with no KP. I've never bought a kill. Newcomers shouldn't either. I require no KP and no specific builds.

@Shaogin.2679 Edited. Unnecessary for topic.

Keep away from it. In my experience convergence instability adds are not something I waste time killing. Watch your ranged bounces too. It tends to pull in ranged attackers. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grasping_Mirror

@Vilin.8056@trunks.5249@Final Attempt.8023 True, some people might be afraid or lazy to start a group. Grow out of that mindset. Ask for help instead of staring at the LFG waiting for other players to play your game. The only gatekeeping is you not typing LFM in that Raid tab. Learn the fights at your own pace.

Y'all can just start groups. Don't be so scared. Us commanders can help you. Close this thread, it's going in circles with people who won't step up to the plate and take charge of their own gameplay.

Nah don't streamline. I'm happy doing whatever I want with my groups. Same with this. I'd rather just tell them we're to go. It's part of the adventure. People have to communicate they are lost/confused of they wont learn about the areas/zones.

The title of the article doesn't really go with this first post....what about player population and gatekeeping are you bringing up.

The vanilla game did not have mounts. Kind of strange you want to get one to do base content.

I figured people did mentoring. I've considered creating a guild just for this. Basically a hub for all mentors/commanders to congregate and discuss how to mentor/lead effectively. This can apply to instanced content, open world, or pvp/wvw. Feel free to reach out to me in game if you know anything like this. I would definitely want to be involved.

I typically enter wvw to get my gift of battle for the 20+ time. Sometimes I get on a tag or make my own, capturing and defending against the other team till the dailies are done. However, I was running wvw yesterday and wondered why people don't build more arrow carts, cannons, or ballistas. It seems like these infantry weapons provide a decent amount of area denial when you are outnumbered in a tower or keep. The range of these alone can put pressure on enemy siege weapons from a distance which seem better to do than running away or spamming in chat that you need help or wall down/gate down/on Lord. Is there a reason the wvw community doesn't use these vary often? There's quite a handful of Supply in the towers to build them for free so you shouldn't need a big group to basically"tower defense" a location.

I've been mixing my ally enemy targets up as well. When I have the initiative, I will sc/d 3 on the enemy till I'm out, then blast a random ally with auto attacks since the RWV is stronger then regular auto attack. Once initiative returns switch back to enemy so I can benefit from the poison applications of duel attacks. There's plenty of barrier/healing from auto attack to save an ally from death. Sometimes if I'm trained with the shallow grave I can prevent their down entirely.

Been testing some plaguedoctors gear and maximizing rot wallow. The amount of torment you can give to another player seems significantly more than torment you apply through target enemy skills. I have been ally targeting a lot in fractals and spamming my sc/p 3 and seem to be cranking out tons of heals and torment for my party. I don't enter shroud much for this since I loose the RWVen applications. It's more about spreading the RWV to the party while teleporting around spamming heals and barrier. It's been a lot of fun compared to the way druid or hb work.

How does vitality boost dmg on a thief? I didn't know this.

If you visit the Looking for Group tab(press Y) in the game you can see a tab for each dungeon. People post groups in there. Just post "new to dungeons" and someone will likely help you get through your first one.😊

Open World, no down state weekend? 😂

Looks like they may have chopped the head off on purpose. Maybe to now show the unique mask?

I wouldn't expect all the crafting disciplines available to all characters. Just cooking would be nice since the buffs are temporary like stones and oils. Also, yes, at least the additional license is available.
