I gotta mention that those Group Events were timed. That’s Why they failed. I DIDN’T DIE! HONEST!!
Except after it failed, and the system forces you to die. I also think I would have succeeded on the other event, if players would not come and gone at the area. I DON’T SUCK!
Did you know, that the difficulty gets higher in those events more players are in the area? I witnessed this once in lower area. I was doing map compition at one area, and there was this haven that was under attack by orcs. Or was it ogre? Anyway, you had to keep the enemy out of this certain area, so you could make that Bar go up. But after I beated one another had entered the area. And this kept going little while, and I was thinking that this should not be this difficult when all by myself doing this Event. Well, turned out there was a player AFK behind one giant rock. I felt like kicking that player, but there really isn’t much you can do.
Is it too early to suspect trolls? Because when ArenaNet noted that they were going to put GW2 available on Steam, well… It’s great that there are a lot of players, but more players there are, higher the chance of jerks being there as well. Oh well.
I wouldn’t have a problem with it, but as a worker I have limited time, and to a game like this there goes easily couple of hours, and you still feel like you haven’t much anything so far. ^^ I also tend to be tired after work, so this kind of thing tends to annoy me a lot. ^^;
