It would not be that difficult if it was an instance and a well organized group like in a raid. but this is open world content and organizing people who are casual, might not be doing the meta but doing story/map completion and some do not even speak English to understand what the Comm is asking of them, and that the final encounter is semi luck based due to RNG.

I have done the meta about 20 times now (no exaggeration), I done it 4 times yesterday with varying levels of success, NO completion though, 2 of the groups were very well organized and we had 4 comms. still only got to 3% because she started flying from side to side and no-one could target her for the last 1 minute.

Exactly, I actually really like Long content, like the Drizzlewood Full Map Meta. That can take ~2 hours sometimes, But its fun and I know that I will get good rewards at least in materials and the 2 chest runs after each respective section. the rewards generally in EoD seem very low.

This is a good point. I am not a raider, It's not really my idea of fun, even some high level fractals I do not bother doing due to the fact most groups want certain builds, I play the build I find the most fun, its no meta build. I know many friends who also do the same and even use healing / toughness gear just to get them through the game. Raiders do not want to play with casuals and most casuals do not want to raid.

I might tag up with the description "Trolling, 10g to leave the map" and see how many people pay me

I do not like Braham's character much, whiney, reminds me of Lisa Simpson. But... The Icebrood Saga was a pretty good LW Story and I loved some of the content and maps. Being a GW1 player since day one, I have always liked the Charr and I also loved EotN when that was released. So I loved the new maps. Bjora Marches and Drizzlewood in particular. The Drizzlewood map meta was pretty good, especially with the extended map. I still go back and play them now. pretty fun when you just want to chill in a group, get some good rewards and spam your bow.

I do not mind the pre-meta as long as the success rate was a little higher and you earned good rewards DURING the pre-meta. I get the 10% bonuses but if you actually could make 25/30g and a higher chance at some exotic items/spirit shards etc it would be worth it, but I have done the meta 3 times today and 2 times most other nights this week and not won yet, have got to 2% and a few times under 10% and its now feeling like a massive waste of time to try again, 2 hours with no real rewards, I might as well just do the other meta's which reward more. I think once people have done this once they will rarely go back. shame.

Completely agree with this. I have commanded a few meta's on DE and would count myself as an above average player, I find the game very easy for the most part. Gatekeeping the Turtle mount which is one of the biggest appeals to this expansion behind this ridiculous hard public meta is a joke. It is encouraging elitism in a game where the majority are casual players. I myself only play about 6 - 8 hour a week due to work and family commitments (which most of the GW1 fanbase will be of working age now) . I have yet to find a group who is able to complete this meta even when I am organizing the groups. I do not want to discriminate on what builds I allow into my squad. Even the new changes have not really changed much, we came closer but still has 12%. I already feel like its ridiculous that I have so far wasted about 16 or so hours on this meta and I am getting to the point of thinking should I even bother. I cant imagine what the average casual player without much experience or new players feel like.

I did not know that, thank you very much :)

Hi All, IGN: Jora BeartoothID: carrolltech.9215 As the title said I need to complete the below jumping puzzles for Skyscale, I have put so much into this chain to get skysale, but I just jumping puzzles so much.
