Hi all!
First of all, I would like to say I really like Guild Wars 2. I bought every expansion so far, including EoD.
I really like open world content. Raids on the other hand I don't like - they simply take too much investment for my taste to really be able to do them. I understand and respect the raiding community is pretty closed to those, who can't actually show their involvement by pinging legendary insights. That's ok with me.
I am pretty happy with the open world content, because basically everybody can play it. That was my assumption, when I bought EoD.
When I failed repeatedly in the Soo Won meta event, I started to feel frustrated. It always takes like one hour to fail and get pretty much nothing out of it. No chance of ever unlocking the turtle mount and enyoing this game content without finding an able squad. I therefore tried to find an organized squad that would deal with this - in my eyes way too difficult - meta event. The organized squads I found don't seem to teach or require knowing the mechanics, but they also require to be able to ping legendary insights and a raid role. As I am not a raider, I feel rejected by the game and its community, excluded from the content I want to unlock and very very frustrated. I understand and respect the organized squads of having these restrictions, because the meta event is obviously way too hard.
The community mentioned this meta event being too difficult for a longer time now. So far no real changes, as far as I can see. Will you please do something about it, ArenaNet? If you want to create a new raid, I am fine with it. But don't call a raid an open world meta event please and don't hide mounts behind a raid. It excludes and frustrates people.
