Guild Wars 2

Going to any vendor/banker/merchant initiates one of the audio greetings, such as “What do you need?” or “How do you do?”. If I go to something like the bank in Lion’s Arch, I find it necessary to turn my audio off since I hear that same exact thing every 2 seconds.

Simple solution: make it so that greetings are only heard from the person who interacted with the NPC, instead of making it for everyone.

Not only that, but I’ve actually memorized some of the dialogue from surrounding NPC’s. “Your face is funny, all squished and weird!” “No, your face is funny. Like a little raisin.” Muffle the sound a bit, or increase the interval of time it takes to hear it again.

Thanks

Yes, please gawd ANet do this and save my sanity!

Have you heard? This is a bad time to be travelling. xD
As with anything, add an option to turn these sounds off.

“Seeeize the moment!” “Never let a wrong ripen into eevil.”

Cooking in Lion’s Arch is taxing on my sanity sometimes!

Oddly enough, this is actually one of the features of the game I like a lot!

Granted, there are some one-liners I don’t particularly like, i.e. the sylvari cooking vendor in Lion’s Arch (the “Seize the moment” line mentioned by Tewi above), but that’s just because I don’t particularly like the way the sylvari sound in general. However, that’s very much my own taste – most players probably love it.

If I’m not mistaken, the Lion’s Arch cooking vendor uses the same voice actor as the one who greets you after you’ve completed the sylvari tutorial instance … the " … such a momentous task …" dude. I cringe every-time I hear that. lol

I’m fine with the merchants saying hello when I go buy stuff from them and I actually love they made it so your character says goodbye to them !

It’s just etiquette which makes sense.

What can get tiring though is indeed when you are crafting for a longer while and hearing the same iddle chatter over and over again.
