Great concept with the festival.

But poorly executed given the nature of players in this game

531s running around speed running bosses as if the Plunder Skulls only drop for ONE person and they have to get them.

People camping one boss because they have 20 hours a day to sit there and doing the same thing as above.

Human decency would be nice folks, even in a game.

It's not our fault that we kill stuff so fast. I mostly try to keep it to group dungeons, but sometimes I just like to solo.

If people would have some better smartness they'll do an instanced dungeon. 100% loot garanteed.
No need to farm those boss, just do dailies, and you'll have all your stuff and the 100 skulls achievement.

Don't pretend you can't pop off a couple of light attacks. I can two and three shot most bosses, but I don't. In CP160 zones I'm intentionally not melting everything for the sake of other people.

Quit pretending you have no control over your DPS. That's just an excuse.

MMO players mentality. Long enough time to get something by semi-normal playing? Nah, i will minmax my grind technique to get it in few days, make it boring for me and for others and once i get everything I must tell the developers how boring grindfest that was.

This assumes I have people to do these with when I have time to do these. When my guild is on, we PvP.

Dont act like there isn't 100's of different options for all players, no matter the level. See people caping bosses, move on. It's a popular event and everyone is trying to participate.

I've personally started leveling an alt in normal MA. I don't bother anyone else and I get 9 skulls every 30-40 minutes.

Don't act like I haven't tried that. No one in this game has decency. It's just a DPS flex contest wherever you go.

davidj8291

All of the excuses being made and yet everyone seems content to just maximize DPS wherever they go and are content with being indecent and intentionally preventing other players who have less time on their hands as many of the people who literally live in this game from actually getting the enjoyment out of it.

So ultimately you're just butt hurt that some people have more time to play, achieve more things in game, and that's the real problem? You keep stating that it's basically not fair others play more than some.

No, but it's clear you can't read.

Why is it necessary for someone to speed run every single boss and prevent anyone else from getting a hit in?

What's so important about killing him in 2 seconds vs 5 seconds? This isn't a trial or a dungeon. It's an event meant to be enjoyed by everyone. But apparently it's a mechanism for covering up real life inadequacies by max DPSing in order to farm items that everyone can get if you just wait 3 seconds.

You seem to be avoiding answering that. You need to stop with the straw men and actually address the primary portion of my statement.

davidj8291

We get it. You are a PvE DPS god. Go prove that in a PuG Trial, not a World Boss you KNOW other people want to farm too. You can BOTH get a skull off of the same boss.

Run normal random dungeons. I got 30 skulls in 2 hours last night. Plus XP, loot, skill points and quests if you havent done some of them. I get your frustration on 500 people camping a boss, but trust me there are alot better and more productive ways to get skulls.

I tried to stay and farm a boss, it got way out of hand. So normal dungeons and off I go.

They don't. But people are acting like they do and trying to kill bosses as quickly as possible.

In theory that works. If you have a good consistent group. I tried for an hour and every PuG i got couldn't survive Normal. And it's faster in upper world if people just act decent.

I had a stretch of almost 50 skulls in a little under 2 hours. Then someone decided to show off their Clever Alchemist/High Crit PvE DPS build on every boss in the area and two shotted everything in the Gold zones

Odd. Would you care to mention something about some players playing more than others, for the 3rd time?

And the last quote proves how arrogant you are. 99% of the skulls I looted yesterday was in MA. A solo instance, mind shutting your mouth yet or would you like to continue spouting nonsense?

It's okay, kiddo. In a couple days this will all be water under a bridge. People will have farmed what they want and you can find something else to bicker about.

Seriously though, in the time that you have spent in this thread moaning and being salty, did you know that you could have earned around 30 skulls just by doing one light attack on each boss


ooooOOOoooo

Stop whining. It's not that hard to do a single light attack, idc how fast someone kills the boss, you can get that in. If you can't and you find yourself still hurting in the backend area, perhaps you should direct yourself to another game and another Halloween event.

I'm working IRL now, just on "lunch". And it's hard to get a light attack in on a melee build when someone already closer to the boss decides to use max DPS . Not everyone is PvE magicka build.

And if me asking people to refrain from being indecent human beings is "whining" to you, that's a personal problem. Not mine.

Ok, quit trolling. Nothing you have said makes any dam sense. You just keep throwing out rudeness and nonsense.
