You can group up with 4 others still, Although there are other people on the same map. But the events scale with the more people at them so you don't get any less loot. There are farming groups in the higher levels that all group together in a "Zerg" whatever that means, and do quests together. This means that champions spawn as the difficulty is higher so u get more and better loot. Dungeons are not open world instances so the 5 people that go in are the only ones there so that's very similar to gw1 gameplay. But no ones forcing anyone to buy it so each to there own, I just thought its a great price for a good game with no monthly fees.

not being funny but that makes no sense....

you want a group of 4-5 people (which still happens) that play the same thing, however you hate it because they are forced to interact or be there.... if they weren't there then what is the point of being in the group?

also when i last played it, which was well after launch, you don't have to be there in the group in the same zone, you just won't get location movements. Like for example if you are in the same area, which is pretty massive, you will get location updates of your group members... if they are in another zone you would get vague location updates, like within a 20m range on that other map, however same zone is realtime updates.

if an MMO didn't do grouping, it wouldn't be an MMO

no what i mean is in gw1 u would go about with ur group beating bosses etc, now u can still go with ur group but the public is also there, i found i didnt even get to see the boss properly coz 100 ppl killed him b4 i had a chance, yea i got loot for it but it was pointless

instances is what i mean, i liked that most in gw1 and its not in gw2

The boss battles all got sorted out a few years ago, they did all die really quick back then, but they changed that and scaled them better, The Tequatl Dragon event is one of my favourites now, it takes a full map of people who are well organised to beat it, but when you do the rewards are great.
