Elite skill capping kills this game..

Title pretty much says it all. I thought this game was supposed to deviate from the mindless grinding and repetative gameplay. Then I wonder to myself why I've spent the last week and a half trying to capture just 1 freaking skill?

I know where they were trying to go with this, but it just doesn't work in a game like this.

Maybe if bosses were static and you know for a FACT you could find them somewhere then it might work.

As it is right now you have to somehow manage to put together a full team (cause lord knows henchies don't cut it vs any levels with good bosses). This is a lot easier than done since most people can't be bothered to help you get your skill.

What's the worst part about it all? Lets say you somehow manage to put together a team (one that doesn't drop half it's ppl cause they didn't find the skill they wanted) and make it to where your boss is supposed to spawn, guess what? It didn't.. another boss spawned so now you gotta rinse wash and repeat. BS if you ask me.

I can honestly say elite skill capping has killed this game for me.

Thats a little strong...

I am fine with elite skills. I have captured 5 with my monk, and the ones I specifically went wafter were in missions, so I always got them first try.

If you really hate it, then don't bother...

i got no elite skills on my level 10 character. heck i don't even no where i shouuld go to get those skills!

I think it is impossible to get most elites before the Crystal Desert

You can only get elites from Crystal Desert, Southern Shiverpeaks, and Ring of Fire Island Chain, ie, you have to be nearly ascended or ascended to get elites now. Which makes the elite system useless for most of the RP game.

Most of the PvE game should eventually, probably after the first expansion, be for ascended characters.

All (or most, whichever they said) of future content is for ascended characters, so it's no big deal in the long run. Just the fact that now there really isn't a lot for an ascended character to do. UW/Fissure is just as repetitive as doing missions.
