    Even if the level doesn't "trivialize" the content, the player base will when they are tired of that content. Even in GW2 where there is a horizontal system there are empty zones and content nobody seems to be interested in. Horizontal leveling doesn't fix this aspect of how MMO players feel about certain content.

    This is just not true? I have friends who tell me "Oh, you'll never be able to run PoF metas, no one runs those anymore". Girl, people run them many times every day.

    "No one runs dungeons anymore", LFG fills within five minutes.

    There's a bias that if you don't do something anymore, you assume no one does. I have never once had an issue running any content in GW2, doubly so after engaging myself in my guilds and social circles.

    It's almost like experiences in MMO's are subjective? And everyone may have a different experience based on where or even the time of day they play? Hmmm....
    Also, you are naming very specific content.

    So there's also a bias in games where people assume if they were able to find help with some old content, then everyone must be able to. This just isn't the case. But there is some content in GW2 that people seem to love to run over and over. I never stated that people in GW2 don't like to do any old content at all - that's how you took it.

    What are you having trouble with finding a group for? I'll gladly help you find a group lol.

    I'm in several guilds that run strike and raid training weekly and is always seeking new people. Metas are easy to find, dungeons are easy to find, fractals are easy to find, I join groups literally every week working on silly dumb achievements. I literally just today at 9am asked map chat for help with an event I needed for an achievement and like fifteen people came.

    I'm struggling to even imagine what you're having trouble running. Were you just looking for a partner for map completion?
