Some people are adults with busy lives.

Except for people who barely have time to play and there are a lot of those.

And their choice was to get it through laurels and that's going to get removed from the game. It's not on the players if their choice gets removed from the game.

I got 2 kills out of maybe 10 attempts in squads that I found in LFG. There are groups that know what they're doing and groups that don't. As time passes there will be more and more groups that know what they're doing. Be patient, help teach people, but also don't waste your time in squads with commanders who clearly don't know what they're doing. If you join a squad that isn't organized in comped subgroups, just bail. Anet : Don't nerf it. The fight is fine. People just gotta learn. Everyone who thinks this should be nerfed : Chak and Mordremoth had the same growing pains. They ended up being faster to get consistent kills only because back then groups such as TTS ran them with mandatory voice comms. JUST BE PATIENT.

There are people who have been playing this game for a long time and have been too lazy to learn game mechanics. For example, combo fields became irrelevant since the power creep of HoT making it pointless to blast fire fields for might and whatnot which means that a lot of people will never have used them. Anet has sent these people back to school so they became less of a liability in group content.

People are being overly dramatic about the turtle. Just be patient. Days to a few weeks from now people will get kills on the regular and you'll be able to get yours. There are plenty of other things to do in the game and to be honest, the turtle has limited uses outside WvW and Dragon's End. It's not all that fun to drive and not all that fun to shoot in other PvE content.

So what mechanic exactly is in place to prevent 1 person from ruining that phase?

2 years have elapsed and you're wrong. I found this thread after returning to chrono to try to help a friend with an achivement and finding that my disto shatter was gone. And now I remember why I stopped playing mesmer entirely.

The solution to too much visual noise on the ground is NOT to put that visual noise between the camera and the action instead of on the ground. Please get rid of those sky effects ASAP.

I don't gamble and I don't pay 3 single player games worth of money on cosmetic items in MMOs. So joke's on you Anet.
