Curse

I'm getting a little worried about the attitude of so many players who seem to find that kids and players who are not 'skilled' enough have no right to proceed in the game. Games are meant to be fun for everyone! It does not matter how good you are. It does not matter how you like to play the game. Running, grinding, adventuring, gathering skills, its all equal. As long as people have fun! We dont need paternalism.

I agree. While it can be very annoying to be in a sub-par group, it's more annoying that so many people get so worked up about how *other* people play the game. It's none of their business, and frankly, it's quite rude.

I usually play with a friend of mine. His only high level character is Tyrian. I've been trying to do the second 15 attb. point quest, but I can't finish because the henchmen are to glaringly retarded. My friend can't get into the quest with me because of the locked gate. Ah well, I guess I have to go off and grab a PuG of starter assassins.

When i started up the game i got to the first section, for my GW1 old toon. I grabbed all the quests and headed out exploring, i wanted to just wander about. Spending 20 odd minutes only to find out i cant really go anywhere, hmmmm.

Most of the people in my guild went to Marketplace and then to Shing Jae Island without doing anything. I think the Bazaar was open to from Marketplace, though I can't be sure.. I did have that feeling though with the gates.

i have only gotten to the mission where you have to kill like...199 afflicted, all i want to do is get to Skyway to get the flesh golem

but i can't find the quest of mission that unlocks it

i went exploring from the docks to the marketplace, then through the bazaar to find the gate locked, anyone know the quest that unlocks it? and where it is?

Huh? I finished the game Saturday night, 3 days after it went live.

I can't believe runners are already cropping up in this game. There are half the missions of Chapter 1, you can now go from zero to level 20 in less than a day if you wanted, and finish the game about twice as fast as you could before.

It was almost painfully easy. But of course, everyhting about this game is instant gratification for some folks. I thought taking 3 days was bad.

I would like to add my voice to those who, like I, did not like this innovation -- these closed gates. I like just *exploring*, wandering here and there, looking at the views, tackling random mobs, and it is really very annoying to spot a warp, fight your way through to it and find that you cannot get further. I feel limited in my choices and confined within narrow limits.

I would understand if I found very powerful monsters in the new area, the monsters that I wouldn't be able to defeat -- at least this would show me that I must prepare better or rethink my strategy before moving further (like way to Lornar's Pass from Beacon's Perch). But these closed doors and the forced linearity really can be very prohibitive and annoying.
