Guild Wars 2

Healing turrets in Bloodtide Coast, boulders at Western Divinity Dam, bombs in Bandithaunt Caverns, bags in Michoan Marsh, etc.

These items serve little to no purpose at all. The bags stays whether you fail the event or not, and they make me really uncomfortable every time I pass that area. The boulders does nothing, most of them are in the water, meaning no one can reach them, but only to see these meaningless text, some floats on the woods of the dam for some reason and break the immersion. The healing turrets is probably the most asked. Sure they help people along the road for one event, but they are all over the route and they just keep respawning and send out these invisible messages. Again, break immersion. And then there’re the bombs, they not only serve little purpose(half the health of a bandit isn’t worth the time for putting them down), but they bring the frame rate of everyone who enters the cave down for a significant amount. This isn’t the way to encourage your new players to use environmental weapons at all.

Please look over some of these and consider to decrease the amount of item that are in those area, decrease the spawn timer, or remove them once and for all.

Never had framerate issues. Gather a group of bandits and drop the bomb, half the health of 4-5 bandits is worth it.
Healing turrets only send out the messege if you have that turned on (or simply close the combat log if you are that worried about it).

Those boulders weren’t always in the water, people threw them there and they stayed int he water. The rocks floating at the dam just outside of DR are the same way.

Usually these things reset to normal when the servers restart but for some reason alot of them haven’t been.

Not really, it isn’t from neither “Game Messages” nor “Combat,” but I’ll try to find where it’s from. I would guess it works like screenshot and gathering tool notification, which both belong to none of the categories.

This one I’m not too sure, which still needs to be looked into so they can adjust despawn and respawn timers, or the boulders are simply useless all sitting at a place where no players could use.
