Since I last posted, the conversation seems to have evolved into elitism around disability, laziness, casual players and the dislike of.

Lots of people agree by now that there is a level of toxicity happening in this game, THIS IS NOT NEW, and I don’t want anyone to think, that I think, this is new. I know this game is growing and will continue too. I am afraid of the forums and the community going from helpful and caring and kind to WOW,

I mean no Offence to you wow players but have you seen your forums? Your own community? Christ it’s toxic and I fear that this community, this game will go that route, the GW2 community elitism route.

People seem less interested in either helping because they are afraid of being yelled at and bullied, or to ask for help because they might get attacked. I run roulettes these days with nothing but sprigs and maybe 1/10 will either ask for help or accept help where as before it was 6/10 and every one wanted to help.

Things change, times change and communities evolve. I found a guy in my FC who spent hours with me the other day, helping me understand how to do rotations to get HQ collectables for crafting. He bought me gear, we voice chatted and he walked me through not just what the skills do, BUT WHAT ORDER IS BEST OPTIMIZED TO PRESS THEM IN given the circumstances.

HE SPENT HOURS and GIL to help me. On two of my classes.


NO ONE DOES THIS ANY MORE. No one helps each other. No one takes time to help people. You want a damn Gil sink, help a newbie level to eighty in a class.

Christ what’s wrong with this community. I learned so much and more and feel more accomplished as a crafter and gatherer.
