Guild Wars 2

I have few quarrels with GW2:

1. I need ESC key to Cancel Action. In Original Guild Wars I could bind the menu elsewhere, so ESC would stay purely for Cancel Action. But for some reason, it is not possible to unbind ESC in GW2. So, whenever I whack ESC to Cancel Action, the game menu pops up. And then I have to rage on ESC to close that.
WHY are we not allowed to modify ESC binding?

2. There are forced cutscenes all over the game. If you do stuff like Vinewrath on daily basis, it gets very annoying to whack ESC to end the video. And of course, there are places in the game where video is forced. Why force repetitive videos? It is so frustratingly annoying!
I would like an Option to Deny ALL cutscenes.
I read some player mentioning a special hack to for that, but I couldn’t google anything relevant.

3. Oh, and I bet you know this one. The good old TP UI.
I would like an answer to why in gods name, if I have a long list of items to sell/list in TP, why after every sell/list does the scroll bar return back to top? Or near top half of the times on its own pleasing will?
The UI is behaving like an old phone with that number wheel, but worse. I sell/list, then I need to scroll back to bottom to select the next item, repeat and that’s how you “dial m for migraine” .. or was it murder?
Oh! And why is the item list randomized after the first half?
When we had items in page view, well, pages, but at least it worked. No frustration, nothing sick like this.
Btw, I remember, a month after you presented this new UI, with an update, the scroll bar worked as intended – when it was set down, it remembered to stay at its position. But that luxury lasted for a week only. It got removed with next update. So, this behavior is intentional.
And now we are left with this. Old phone with rotary dial from deepest, darkest, bloodiest hell, where even Satan himself would not dare to go. Really, I dare you to make it any worse. Come on, give it your.. best.. worst?

I don’t just demand answers, I demand this sadism to end.

As far as #1, you can try binding a key to Show/Stow weapon under Controls to cancel actions.

This certainly for #1, I have a key bind for weapon stow and it works like a charm for cancelling skills.

As for #2, I agree that in the Open World there should be less forced cutscenes (like the lack of cutscene at the start of Tequatl, which makes the player look around the find what the heck just started). But for dungeons, I think forced cutscenes should remain.

Question #3 is subjective, and I don’t think there will be any changes there as many, including myself, like the new Trading Post UI.

I agree with number 2. I am doing the Living story 2 on my alts now (8 of them) and am forced to watch the Caithe/Faolin scenes every time. It gets old very fast, there is not even a skip option.

The TP UI is pretty godawful, certainly a step behind some decades old mmo’s.

Why the constant refreshes on search and terms? It’s terrible inefficient, but maybe by design. If I type in a term, I want that term to stay in the field until I tell it otherwise. That’s what normal search fields do in itemized browser-based databases.

Also, looking up items by anything less than the full title can be a nightmare as well. Very clunky. The limitations on search fields is also frustrating.

Now if I really wanted to rant, I’d move on to LUCK via salvaging, which is easily the most cruel, unwarranted tax on player time and energy of any game I’ve ever played, lol.
