I now pronounce Jerus as the new master of TL;DR mojo.

While I admit it’s probably not worth reading, TL, really? you don’t even have to scroll! :D

Meant it more as a compliment for being able to condense a thread worth of drama into a small enough post for me to read trough with my limited attention span. :)

Ahh well thanks hehe, it’s my drunken late night rambling but sums it up without any unnecessary additions to the drama I think. Love you all even if the drama entertains me… and I hate kicking in general but that’s just me and I understand it’s merely my opinion

So I found a guy on reddit that is THE Anti-Ascended Armor dude:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2uoxyf/to_our_newest_players_and_allies_in_the_fight/cobxl2g

He literally called me a “traitor” and told me to go die, just because I don’t find Ascended armor bad.

What is wrong with these people?

What did I miss ?

Well Grim, needless to say it was saddening. Many a person was broken this day.

I ask myself now,

Where are the days of yonder, where a man step’th into the gutter of the dungeon forums to feel his feet sink into the simpering ooze of stupidity and self righteous anger?
Where be’th the hour upon which the common scumbag elitists would unite to achieve but one goal, to taketh down the potato?
Where o’ where are the serenades, the chants, the lamentations of the just, the self important, the ‘moral’ brigade?
Where be the distinction that was so finely set in stone,
between the meta player and the casual?
Between the joke that is ‘morality’ in a video game and the font of reason that the toxic and vocal minority drink’th from?
Why doth now the oft poster care more for vanity than for the cause that is scumbaggery and entertainment?
Why is it, that we no longer descend into these fits of fancy? These chaotic, yet collaborated threads that bound on in a strong and sickening fashion until’th a moderator doth frantically shut it down?
Why now do thine threads carry on weakly, whimpering off into obscurity until a moderator puts them down out of pity? Without a word, like a whisper, out of sight, gone.
Be it that we no longer care? Long gone is the fire that once ignited within us at the mere mention of a bearbow?
Or be it that the bearbow himself is gone, purged from this hallowed ground of filth and obscenity?
Perhaps it be that we have long discarded our concerns for jest, for comradery and have instead turned to idolize ourselves?
Or perhaps, perhaps we have suffered enough.
A forum plastered with red ‘we care’ posts,
words as empty as a toxic nightmare husk,
the constant and never ending drone of ‘nerf zerk’, ‘I got kicked from x for playing how I want’ , ’I’m important and my opinions matter’… clawing at the last strands of our sanity..
Has this dog of a subforum taken the final kick? Or will it stand for more belting?
What will keep this mange ridden mutt alive?
What will keep the scum, filth and elitism coursing through its veins?
To that I say,
A Heart of Thorns.

Swifty, that was kitten brilliant, thanks for the good read! <3

@ Jerus: I agree with your tl;dr except that the story was 2v2. Two wanted to watch cutscene and two mentioned not to. Now it only takes two to kick people. It hardly becomes a scenario when a phiw went against the group and deserved to be kicked. What irked me the most is the general reaction of most “pro-kick” response. “Hey OP, we only heard half of the story from your version. You must have kitten ed more in the whole truth. Therefore, we believe you deserved to be kicked. Sorry no sympathy. Signed, jerk.”

Very true, sorry, it was like 2AM and after a bit of whiskey >.<

In the end, Lilith didn’t deserve to be banned from forum for voicing her opinion, to be honest. #salt4lyfe.

I think she went over the top, but I think a ban was really unnecessary. It wasn’t THAT bad.

Very eww, I was wondering what post i quoted had been deleted, i guess that explains it.

Anyone else involved receive the same?

Not me. My PSA about salt sale was left intact.

Urk, I don’t like my popcorn salty. I very much prefer it sweet. :>

What, banned for that thread? Boo. Perm or temp?

That’ll teach you to stick up for new players.

Master Fractals: Uncover new depths in the Fractals of the Mists to gain powerful new abilities to overcome difficult fractal challenges, garner greater rewards, and unlock more powerful infusions.

Garner greater rewards, fractal tonic / weapons?

don’t really care about more rewards if there aren’t actual new fractals themselves.

GW2 could literally throw free legendaries at me as rewards and I wouldn’t even play it, I literally just want something new to play, and hopefully the expansion will do that for instanced content lovers.

but my expectations are basically zero, so I’m not leaving myself any room to be disappointed.

^^ So much this.

I read that post as “we gave you more power, and to counter that we unlocked the fractal levels we previously took away from you, and gave you the rewards had as well!” Cause I mean, kitten actually making new content…

Yes I’m a skeptical pessimist, but prove me wrong ANet for the love of god prove me wrong.

Sure did.

and I dunno. I keep getting more points as people continue to report. So I think the account will have to be scrapped in the meantime.

That’ll teach me not to argue with the Lords of this castle.

I didn’t know mods cared about this subforum.

Is anyone else quite disappointed with the sound of these new mastery things? It seems like some good time sink material.

Particularly this statement made me laugh : "They allow you to constantly grow and overcome new challenges while focusing on playing the game instead of grinding for gear. " Yeah, no grinding gear, because we’ll be grinding mastery’s…

Shhhhh, its totally different, really!

Well, the way they’ve implemented it falls in line with their idea of “no grind”, as I see it. You’ll earn mastery points for just playing the game, and aren’t forced to rerun the same thing over and over to build them up. I mean, you have to do something to get rewards/progression, and “no-grind” just means you’ll have a choice in what you do along the way.

And I don’t even want new fractals, unless they completely removed RNG from the picture. I want more regular themed, multipath dungeons and vendors, kitten.

I’d settle for fractals, especially now that I’m starting to play them again, but c’mon.

Ideally (from my perspective), we’d get two new dungeons with:
- 1 story + 3 explorable paths
- no “must have 4 people” gimmicks
- Beefed up versions of the AI/mechanics taken from last season’s living story
- New skins and tokens
- No RNG rewards
- All bosses required to get rewards / no invis walls / goatable

As you can imagine, I’m not getting my hopes up. I’m expecting new world bosses.

And the real question — should I still be working on increasing my FotM level, or is it going to get reset with the introduction of masteries? :-(

Noah could use a rainbow on that one.

I’d absolutely love if they’d just rework the fractal system to not be RNG based. Something like going in and choosing your fractals and getting incremental rewards for doing so. Make a Reward path like PVP maybe and have your skin/ring/pristine/ascended chest reward chances come out of that /shrug. It’s all been said hundreds of times no use elaborating further.

About Fractals mentioned in the article.

A bored elistist take on things:

Master Fractals: Uncover new depths in the Fractals of the Mists to gain powerful new abilities to overcome difficult fractal challenges, garner greater rewards, and unlock more powerful infusions.

Mentioned in the article: vs What it actually is

• New depths: Fractal levels added 51-60.

• Powerful new abilities: Either useless abilities or mandatory-to-progress abilities reminding us of Agony Checks

• Difficult fractal challenges: Refering to more upscaled mobs having their stats increased due to higher fractal level

• Garner greater rewards: Fractal Weapon Box that was already planned to release a year ago, also increases the drop rate of useless ascended armor geartypes, with an ocasional uninfused ring, obviously

• More powerful infusions: +6 Condition Damage, +6 Power, +6 Vitality, etc.

Prepare for a reset to level 20.

Let’s just go all in and say 0

According to the majority of the people on the sub, I lost my mind. So you can have that as the story.

It heals a fixed percentage of your HP, obvs. It’s a continuation of the NPE.

But you know, maybe I will get some stained claws or something so I’ll get that 2 copper and have that going for me.

I’m still digging Lindy’s fake patch notes that mention the “Unsalvageable Masterwork Aquabreather” rewards. That was just perfect xD

I betcha that aquabreather, if you try to destroy it, you have to type out its whole name to get rid of because you need to be ultra sure you don’t want it.

Oh and you’ll get one in every champ box.

Gaile Gray.6029:

The LFG (Looking for Group) Tool is intended to be used to help put together a group to enjoy game content, such as Open World, Fractals of the Mists, or PvP. Over the last several weeks players have expressed increased concern about abuse of the LFG Tool as a growing number of individuals have begun using the LFG Tool to advertise the sale of in-game items.

Clearly, if a group-formation tool is flooded with item sales and trade messages, it will be difficult for players to use it for its intended purpose. Beyond that, trades and sales initiated in the tool are at high risk for scams. While our Customer Support Team will take action on the accounts of players who engage in scams and other disallowed activities, they generally will not be able to replace items of players who fall victim to these unscrupulous individuals.

Our policy: Players may use the LFG Tool only for the formation of a group.

Players may use the tool to sell a spot in a group, but they may not use it to sell or trade items or for any other unintended purposes. Doing so will result in an account infraction.

You can help us reduce the spam and refocus the tool by reporting individuals who are misusing the LFG Tool. Simply click on the name of that player in your chat window, right click, choose “Report,” and then choose “LFG System Abuse.” With your help we’ll be able to keep the LFG Tool clear for your use in forming groups.
