Yeah, they're cracking down on the exp grinder foundry quests. But I see two ways to control this:
1) Have a team that manually runs through every Foundry quest/dungeon and approves/denies them. (costing a massive about of money, so.. probably not)
2) Give the mobs an "Emergency Teleport" that would let them blink to the attackers location if there was no way to path to them. (Alternatively do it WoW style and have them unattackable if they can't path to whoever is attacking)
3) Design an automated system to check for Melee only mobs that they have a path to any point a player could attack from.

I'm also looking around for a rerolled crew in there, if one forms up let me know. Otherwise I might form one... The Swampdonkey Brigade

What is up with Guardians... They seem piss poor? I was tempted to play a tank again but they feel weak and clunky.

I got a cleric to 12 and kinda not feeling the love. It is kind of neat, but I feel I am getting my ass beat pretty bad solo, grouping didn't seem that great either, healing the tank in the middle of melees sucks.

There is something kinda fun here, but I'm just not having a lot of fun and the limited options seems kind of dull to me.

Any suggestions?

Guardians have to channel many abilities, which is lame, and no, they cannot hold aggro very well. Healing and tanking are both pretty borked right now because of aggro management. I suspect another problem will appear if aggro is tuned better, that guardians can't actually TANK all the shit that is floating around anyway.

My favorite pet peeve is teleporting/charging mobs. They seem to barely have any cooldown on these abilities. They fucking spam them. It's annoying as fuck. They don't all target a player to do their move either, so collapsing doesn't work 100%. Trying to keep aggro on these is just stupid. Wizards are more effective tanks than Guardians on trash. They just lock shit down constantly while a guardian is pressing everything to do very little.

They are pretty good if you buld damage and go down the conq path. They can keep up with most classes in terms of dps and still do their job of tanking the boss plus an add or 2. I've been readingthisthread for tips.

Not the fastest killers but I didn't have any issues soloing to 60 with one. Take healer companion and block special moves.

So I started playing a control wizard to level 13. Really liking the class but having a hard time time with some packs of mobs. Seems there is no such things as soloing pulling in this game. I have to pop a heal potion when taking down packs. Does it get better soloing packs as the class gets higher in levels or this is a class that only shines in groups?

Is this game worth playing if I'm not willing to put in tons of effort? I guess I should say I don't want to PVP at all. But I'm horribly bored and never got around to playing it.

Once you get repulse at 16ish, it gets easier.

Meh I never used repel. Once you're 16 you get a companion and at that point it's fairly easy. I personally leveled using conduit of ice on mastery(aoe slow, large aoe damage too, it tends to kill the trash mobs in one cast even though it takes a few seconds to do so), the choke for single target bigger mobs, the shield for reducing dmg and having a knockback for emergency or for finishing mobs(it does good dmg but the recast time is annoying so I didn't pop it too often) and last skill I forgot what I was using, until I got sudden storm which is like the best spell for CWs, since it's an aoe that more or less instantly kill all trash mobs. Once you have a companion anyway it becomes very easy, but even before that I didn't have much of an issue. I think I used 10potions from 1 to 35, at which point I started having to use them every now and then due to CC immune bosses and multiple pulls.

On the guardian thing, mine is amazing, but it does seem that if you don't go conqueror to have a good amount of damage, you cannot do shit as a guardian. I'm conqueror and mostly using def+power or def+crit gear and I have no trouble holding aggro on multiple mobs at all, it's actually very easy, and at the same time I often outdps the shittier DPS, I tend to be 2nd or 3rd on damage at the end. Also does pretty good solo, the aoes have long cooldowns(the aoe taunt and the shield bash line aoe thing) but they do solid damage and tend to be up every pack or so. Mostly the issue is with single target, but I pop my daily every other pull, the one that increases damage for like 8seconds, so I do fine.
