Forgive the rant, but it might be time for a break, or at least scaling back.
Fractal pugs are killing me. Most of the time people don't have AR, or can't stay alive for other reasons. Then these people almost always pull a fractal weapon at the end. Solo/duoing fucking Mai trin and the moltan bosses is making me hate this game. Low level runs are even worse with all the people that are trying to game the lfg system for free rings instead of dropping the laurels for their initial ascendeds/AR.
I don't like taking the game seriously, but that shit is annoying. Its my fault for doing so many out of skin-greed, but fractal skins are about the only skins left that I dig and that aren't 300g to 1800g on the trading post. Its like I've hit a loot/progression plateau, and the next 'thing' is a billion f'ing hours away. Ascended armor will hit, and I'll make that. Then I'll HoM it cause everything else is butt ugly on heavy female charrs. It'll be nice in a spreadsheet sort of way, at least.
