there has been a huge uproar in the guild wars community since the realease of nightfall--the main concern--tougher and smarter ai. why is this something to complain about? now you cant spend hours and hours doing the same thing over and over again and you have to actually PLAY to game? anet obviously made the ai smarter, because pre-updates you have to admit, the pve portion of prophecies and especially factions were damn easy. im guessing anet did this to try and give pve players more of a pvp feel for the game, maybe even help train for pvp.....i have only two complaints about guild wars and these updates--- the massive amounts of new thumpers in all pvp arenas, and the smarter ai has made prices rise, while people take in less gold.

can anyone give a good comment?

So your complaining about people complaining and then you add a couple of complaints at the end of your post? Interesting

Sure, I have one....

Stuff it.

If people didn't complain, then Anet wouldn't know when they messed up. Lots of us don't give a sniff for PVP, so we don't buy in to your "help them train for PVP" idea.

I agree the AI needed some changes, but making caster enemies run like Forrest Gump on coccaine isn't "AI".

Meh, I think you may be lumping a lot into one lump.

I can only account for my experience on the AI issue:

-Not everyone has experienced it

-Many people have experienced it

-appears to be mainly humanoid mobs

-it makes mobs (caster & melee) act like Bumper Pinball Cars. Mobs flee then commence pursuit once player changes target

-Mobs (sometimes unlikely mobs like an almost dead Monk) chase a player half way across the zone after fleeing from the player before that.

Don't paint with a so broad a brush, it just gets messy if you do that.

EDIT: Complaining is a form of of communication, and like any form of communication it can be used effectively, or not so effectively.

in pvp when an ele uses fire storm on someone, do they just stand in it and take it? no. when a monk is being attacked by a warrior, do they stand there and take it? no. when an enemy is low on health, do they stand there and accept being attacked? no.

So what you're saying is that you're sick of seeing people complain about things that don't bother you and that we should complain about things that do?

You just used "PvP" and "Firestorm" in the same sentence. Firestorm is a waste of a skill in PvP, and it's pretty much a waste in PvE.

That's kiting and it's what should happen. What happens in PvE currently is what most people call grief running. For an example of grief running, see RA.

Countercomplaint posts are complaints in themselves, serve no purpose, and really only act as flamebait and spam. More pop up every once in awhile - and they're not clever or intelligent.
