[Form your own squad problem]

...in the end the effort required on my part is to much of an investment.... 

 

It requires too much effort on your end to learn. That is fine. 

Watching a video is not the same as practice and experience. All gamers know this.

...when I could just que for PVP for about the same level of enjoyment. 

Structured PVP does not have a big learning curve like raids, strikes and fractals.

I have joined many strike groups without discord and they run just fine but is just finding the group that is problem

Experienced groups don't LFG unless they have exhausted all other options (summoning their friends from other guilds / activities). 

You've joined many normal strike groups that work because most strike encounters are training golems with the exception of challenge modes. Plus someone has most likely organised the squad before you joined them.

This content will continue to have low numbers ...

This is a weird claim to make.

The aerodrome is packed to the brim with raid groups every weekly raid reset.

How about a system that doesn't revolve around forming your own squad to do content. People don't have to form there own 5 man group to que for PvP.

It is not enough to just fill a group of random players to do strikes, fractals and raids.

Anet would have to simplify group encounters to the level of a training golem.

Convergences are a good example of this. Demon knight = training golem. Sorrow = PTSD.

You can try Raid Academy and look out for pings.

If you dont want to be gated, form your own squad.

 

Gating exists because there is a significant chasm between new and experienced. An experienced group of raiders will clear wings 1-4 + cms in 2 hours where as a training group might spend 2 hours on the first boss of wing 2.

[Essence of Despair. Please give us some options as to what to do with them.]

I just delete them now. There is too kitten much. I am not interested in the Obsidian armor and there is not a lot of reasons to stockpile it or waste Ectos/Clovers crafting Amalgamated/Purified essences.

Now I'm picturing a scene in an obscure anime dramatizing a hero transformation sequence when all that's happening is changing clothes on the far side of a delivery truck 😛

In raids the muscle hero changes form into a small magical girl when switching from tank to support role.

Charging for convenience seems to be the industry standard in lieu of subscription. 

Although the amount of gems some of us have spent may be more than the value of an annual subscription.

Having to repeat the heart to get access to the vendor? No thanks. Get out of here.

[To many Group Events in SoTo Maps?]

Those group events are not fun to do so most people in map for the purpose of the meta / rifts will ignore it. Soto maps are particularly dead during the Oceanic graveyard shift.

Without the mount, it was absolutely impossible for me to keep up and the armor is required, if you want a legendary set.
People would actually insult me for not being able to keep up and asking for commanders to slow down.

The warclaw doesn't cost skirmish tickets. You made the mistake of buying the cosmetic skin with skirmish tickets.

Also those armor boxes don't need to be bought with tickets either. You can earn them with reward tracks.

Mistakes happen, it's not the end of the world.

 

Like the rune issue, doing more research will save yourself money/time.

A mount and two sets of Triumphant Hero's armor.

That is... not a wise use of skirmish tickets.

How on earth do you have 60 characters and dont know how none legendary gear works?

Put a rune in a none legendary item => old rune gets destroyed.

Gearing 101.

Personally i didn't even know they existed until i saw one of Mukluks gearing tutorials.

[There's nothing to see in this thread. Move along. Shoo.]

1  rune is pretty useless. 6 runes is the norm and 7 is luxury.

You should probably wait till after the legendary relic releases to complete your rune set. 

I am not sure what you mean by accessibility, you don't need to do anything for WvW armor. Just participate and earn skirmish tickets. You need to do WvW anyway for Gifts of Battle.

Raids are a different story.

[There's nothing to see in this thread. Move along. Shoo.]

I made 7 legendary runes to bypass OP's problem.  I later did Envoy's Herald. I still use normal runes and sigils and ascended items to hotswap equipment because its cheaper than buying equipment templates. i.e. switching between firebrand tank weapons for different encounters (staff, mace, axe, shield, focus)

[CM in the wizard's special tab]

The cm wasn't that bad but getting a competent group together was quite difficult. All the down time and inexperienced people joining/leaving was frustrating. Eventually we got enough experienced people together via LFG to clear it in a few pulls.

 

I think if you wanted 8 gold doing T4 daily/recs cm  is more reliable.

 

[Essences are another Economy failure.]

the amalgamated kryptis essence that neds 50 ectos is the killer. Nobody wants to waste 50 ectos on that kitten. If you have no interest in armor or relic just throw the essence out. 

[Legendary Relics are Coming Soon]

 

Quote

So, for relics only—and starting with the fifth expansion—new relic effects will need to be unlocked within each expansion in order to be accessible via legendary relics

 

So it's not a legendary relic from the fifth expansion onwards. Noted. 😂

[Do something about MC supply]

Legos feel more expensive after SOTO

[(Suggestion) Luck essences = material storage]

Even after upgrading to max 2500 material storage there are lot of bulk items that don't go into mat storage. 😑

Despite knowing about the problem for years there is no sign of addressing so i can only think that this is intended by design so that you are forced to buy more character slots or bank slots.

Kill proofs from raids and strikes should go into material storage, but it's not a thing so it sits in a dedicated bank tab for all eternity.

[Not enough skill buttons for mounts to assign, and shooting fireballs on skyscales is realy anoying because of it]

i use Space for ascend, C for descend, V for evade, 1 for engage, 2 for fireball. The rest of the skills are bound to custom macros on my keyboard or voice activated

Its so fluffy! i would get it but it has chicken feet, If they would have made the feet feathery and fluffy i would have bought it.

the chicken feet are indeed a bit weird, and the dye channel it is tied to is also a bit weird.

 

but behold! fluffy is justice.
