So, I just bought a harp in game. I was browsing the gem store, spotted the instruments, and coughed up the gems to purchase one, fond memories of playing elaborate music files in LOTRO, Starbound, and every other game that has an ABC file folder.
Only to find, to my shock, that this game doesn’t actually have one.
I found a few less than savory and roundabout solutions online, none of which I care to try, but it begs the question, why is it we don’t have the option to play ABC files? Perhaps I don’t fully understand how complicated implementing a system like that would be, but for an in-game instrument that costs $10 USD, it’s a pretty big let-down that all you can do is plunk away at individual notes; at that point, it basically becomes an automatic annoyance machine.
So what do you say, Anet? Please?
