Yes I remember back in the day, the prices of precursors was through the roof, and it was supposed to be that way, felt right.

After finishing my Shining Blade (glorious-looking sword, no regrets), I embarked on a new journey to get the fabulous Moot!Now I've been playing for years on and off now, since 2012 or something I think, so naturally I went for the Legendary collection. Finished up the first step, 10 deldrimmor ingots, 10 spiritwood planks, 10 elonian leathers, 100 memories of battle. Fine. But then, I saw the second step, and I just decided I'd buy the precursor for 70 golds instead of having to deal with nearly 20 deldrimmor ingots and spiritwood planks more. More cost efficient, less time to invest. So essentially I've just thrown about 120 golds in this first step and got 3 achievement points out of it, and have to throw even more, doubled with the grind in pre-HoT maps (that we've grinded too much already let's be honest), when I could buy the precursor for a measly 70 gold coins....Something is wrong with these legendary collections, it is clear that they are not up to date anymore. The third step of the collections, now these are very fun, IMO these are done very right, but unless something is done, rather it is lowering the precursor drop rates, or changing up these outdated achievements, I don't know why someone would want to go through the ordeal that are the first and second steps. There's just no point in doing so. Now I knew right away that doing the achievement would cost more, but I remembered the third step from my previous Juggernaut endeavour and thought I wanted to go that good old route again. Nah, what a hassle.

Hello allFinally getting to do the Moot collection for that sweet, sweet disco mace. However there's a step in the collection that uh... causes me some trouble.I have to kill the Champion reef shark in Southsun Cove. Been putting my group up in LFG for a good hour now, and as I half-expected it, no one seems interested in doing this.So I'm turning to the forums, hoping to find a group of people kind enough to help me with this, as solo'ing is not possible for me unfortunately.A good evening to everyone EDIT: solved, a kind soul helped me =)

I tend to encounter it a lot. I don't always have a lot of time for play, so I tend to do Ley-Line anomaly > Chak Gerent > Tarir in one go as part of my daily routine, during the peak activity hours. The Ley-Line > Gerent transition is the tricky part, as people do seem to rush that event a quite a bit, so I have to hurry, join a map, and look for a squad with a map that's not full. It's especially during those times that I get this issue.Again I'd like to clarify, this is obviously not a major issue, just a feature that I don't get why it's in the game as it just doesn't appear to be in accordance to the way many of us play.

Hello allI've been regularly noticing something about a feature in game for quite some time now, but never took it to the forums to talk about it, as it may appear trivial at times. In advance I'll apologize for my writing, this might be a tough read, idk, too tired and can't think too hard. So I'm just wondering, what purpose does the waiting time when you "joined too many groups" serve. I do not see it. Blocking the oh so dreaded "trolls who join too many groups"?As of now I'm ready to bet, and I'll go all-in in fact, that the feature bothers regular players more than it does said eventual trolls. Or am I just not thinking of something?To me, it just seems this feature is just not in phase with the way the game is being played and has been played over the years. It's often that you have to join several different squads for a meta event until you find one with a map that is not full. I just missed a chak gerent meta event because of a waiting time a minute, or several minutes long, that prevented me from joining the "4 comm not full" squad that just popped in the LFG window. Man... So if the real reason behind this waiting time eludes me, I'll be happy to read any educated guess or informed opinion on the matter. Otherwise, ANET FIX PLS THX S**T'S DRIVING ME NUTS.A good evening to all

Trying my luck here after over a day of vain LFG.I need help killing the Alpha beetle of the Far Silverwastes. Damned thing is tanky and packs a mean punch, or mean poop rather.Would be grateful if anyone's willing to aid me with this.

My quest for my roller beetle has come to an abrupt stop with this achievement. Been looking for a group since yesterday to kill this Alpha beetle, been clearing the Far Silverwastes map and making the event spawn, putting my group up in LFG in several tabs, I think there is not a single soul left on this planet who seeks to do this event, even less come to help someone who does. Hell, three quarters of the people on this deserted map don't even know how to get there. Sometimes I see a poor sod asking "anybody on the map?", often left unanswered, makes the wait not only tediously long, but also pretty sad.Been trying to solo it, combat takes forever, and with my light character one mistake is enough to get me killed gg no re. From my point of view, it's perhaps time to switch back this damned beetle to a bronze or silver state instead of a gold one... My two cents. A good day to all.
