Comment on MMO players (past and present): what is your attitude towards "forced" group content?
arotrios@kbin.earth 4 hours agoAgreed. GW2 is the most accessible of MMOs when it comes to group content. The open world events are especially nice, as you can just wander into a massive battle, join the attack, and automatically get XP / loot. PvP in their World vs World mode works pretty much the same way.
I was a WoW refugee when I picked up GW2 about five years ago and never looked back. It's an objectively superior MMO in almost every category. The only other MMO that comes close is ESO, but GW2 combat and horizontal progression absolutely trounces ESO hands down.

Not sure about accessible group content in guild wars 2, dungeons - yes (but they are a buggy mess and not a group content), open world zergs and metas - yes, other instanced content - not really. Fractals are sort of accessible, but even on tier 1 you get some shit for not knowing all mechanics by the heart and not knowing shortcuts, etc. Raids (and former strikes) absolutely aren’t.

What? T1 fractals are easy quick join randoms. Like, you can fail every mechanic and be fine.
T3’s are where you need to know mechanics by.
I mean some people might be dicks about it but I mean, I don’t think that a majority of the people doing T1’s unless it’s like fractal rush where people are doing those for quick rewards and get grumpy about it taking more than 5 minutes.
