Guild Wars 2

I am a player that likes playing my toons how I want to play them. But you have to build specific builds to even complete Queens Gauntlet. This is actually against everything you have told us about what you want GW2 to be. You keep saying that people don’t use certain skills enough and don’t have enough variety in builds, yet you keep releasing content and “Fun/Exciting” content that requires specific builds. I’m not trying to insult you Anet, but more-less trying to get you to realize the flaws in what you tell us and what you release. Please I have so much hope for this game and you, but you’re making yourselves look like hypocrites. Just my opinion and observation that you want us to give you. I try to give you good and bad criticism. Oh and also, the prices of Gold to Gems are horrendous and I actually think there needs to be a cap on how high the price gets. If you keep your players poor with too many gold sinks people will stop playing.

I still love you Anet!

Ok.

Please, don’t do this.

It’s been a year since the game came out, we can probably shelf the ideas behind the manifesto by now.

To your point about the gauntlet , in order for Anet to release challenging content, it cannot be accomplished by any build. If Liandri were to be possible to beat with a mace shield guardian using signet of resolve, pain inverter, technobabble, radiation field, and summon golem power suit, with full carrion, than it would be way too easy for a decently made build.

About your gold to gem conversion rate problem, buy gems.

gems are not gold sinks, the gem price is the result of players buying too many gems with gold, and not enough players buying gold with gems.

^ While your above comment is correct with regards to the increasing prices of gold → gems, the gem-gold conversion rate IS also a gold sink because while it costs about 3.5g to buy 100 gems with gold, you only get 2.5g when buying gold with 100 gems. Therefore, the more people using the currency exchange, the more gold is being siphoned out of the economy.
