But I'm not. Are you alright? Your statement makes no sense.
MMORPGs offer multiplayer gameplay in an open world and in instances, they provide a world, not just a lobby. A MMORPG can never provide a top notch SP experience like a true SP game(Like Skyrim for example) due to the fact that the world is designed around the fact that THERE ARE OTHER PLAYERS

Seems like a new expac is not on the horizon.

Without an expac soon the game will go down hard

On a personal note, can't wait for Warriors' stun skills to have their damage nerfed to the ground, it's insane that they can keep you perma stunned while doing massive damage at the same time.
I actually think Reaper will be better.

I think most players in open world are actually clueless when it comes to game knowledge and if you give them a meta raid build they wouldn't be able to figure out what it's doing. I'm not even referring to rotations, but just general "logic behind the build". If any of the streamers are any indication, people struggle with even keeping the boss targetted so they can auto attack it.

Again, I really want to know which one is it. If they lack the capacity to understand how a certain build works then nothing can done about that, a game can't help someone who is impaired. I find it hard to believe though that players with impairments are a major population.
If they can't be bothered to then their choice of game seems really odd but that at least I can understand. If someone wants to just copy a build and run around failing that's their choice to make, perhaps their masochists? I don't know. If a MMORPG attracts a lot of players who cant be bothered to comprehend how their build works something is really wrong. This is especially allarming since GW2 gives you a lot of freedom in build crafting. You never really have to play a build you don't like. The emphasis is always on understanding your build and the mechanics of the battle

That's kinda the whole point, to see what people think of the game difficulty with relation to their abilities.

I don't get it. They cant or cant be bothered to? What's the point of playing a RPG if you don't understand your build?

Probably because the open world doesn't resist at all and falls down to spamming autos. But still, you doubt they would be able to understand a build? that's low

Pain? Which content in GW2 is pain? All raids/fractals can be done with any group of semi intelligent people who follow the mechanics

Well, I offered a thread about challange in Group events and many people said they are way too hard anyways and that they would like to see a reduction in difficulty.

You're basically saying here that the average player is a moron

I think that LS can be the potential holy grail of flexible content. For example, you can have your regular story mode if you like to just see the story and chill. If you want a challange you can activate "challange mode" for a certain instance, perhaps it could be tied to certain achievements, which scales the encounter to whatever number of players they want. For example, a certain episode's challange mode is tuned for 3 players who have to really pay attention in order to beat it.

The whole point of adding those mechanics to regular 10 people group events is to encourage people to communicate and not just mindlessly zerg the event down.

No, I was speaking about adding some basic mechanics for simple Group events in the open world.

Overall, is GW2 too hard? Too easy? Does it offer enough challange to your liking?

If the OP is interested in a good quality solo experience he should look for other games. I can't be more clearer than this. You can the story good solo content? Give me a break, any half decent build rofl stomps all the solo content in GW2.

Which is not going to happen because GW2 is primarily a MP game. NOT the place to look for a solo experience.
Btw, Zero challange (like gw2 story) = boring, in all cases. In a SP game you can tune the difficulty to your liking, can't do that here.
