like someone else already mentioned prior gw2 doesn't create anything like this from events that are in the video, but i'd also like to add ...gathering up of 40-80people...this means weather there are the few that can put them together that ...there is that many people all doing something together as a group. while having to put them together is a chore that mmo's should do away with, i'd rather it be this way then not have large scale linkshell events at all. 8man dungeons are the death of full linkshells if u ask me.

this happened in warhammer as well and it happened in ffxiv, only enough players for like 1 run, most are outed from doing dungeons or are picked up like a pug off the street when ever they are just needed. so the no lifers as u call them are static and the casuals still don't barely do dungeons. if anything they are doing less then if the game would of had full on linkshell large scale battles. granted this is server population problems at it's greatest, but even at fullest capacity most the linkshell is pug'n it or waiting to be fit in once in awhile, while a small group is running them.

if large scale things like the video, or even the type u stated were implemented from the get go, or even instead of that dungeon in 1.18 ...everyone who loged in to check out the patch, would have probably stayed loged in ..instead of trying it once and never logging back in again. at the most they would log in 2-3times a week to hang out with the full linkshell ..have fun prior chit chattin, kill and kick ass for few hours and maybe even start grinding again and staying loged in more often. but that is just my opinion. but again this game "needs" to have stuff like large scale or it will totally fail. if ps3 launches without ...i don't think it will last for a year b4 total shutdown.
