i have 12.5 k GS and have only ever run 2 T2 dungeons. In both someone outlined the fight in 3 lines in the outside campfire and where a cake walk. t1 PVP gear with a little supplement from the auction house and trinkets will get you gear score without doing dungeons.
always cap your own point first. then if you got lots of bots just afk . Pvp is only for the daily anyway. macth is 7 mins when the other team controls for most of the macth
They probably read something where people that are in a group in a mmo are more likely to stay with the game and spend money, So they force you into that situation.
I was under the impression that the forums are the end game content. They are by far more varied and interesting than the ingame stuff. PWE has been developing the zen shop which is the games whole reason of being.
