Seriously? You expect us to see 1 tiny line of sneaky wording in a massive note. I mean it sure does suck when you take a break from the game and come back to this. Wondering wtf is going on… WvW isn’t worth the time spent zerging around doing next to nothing. I really don’t want to put myself through the boredum of this but, if I have to I have to. What’s the issue with not just adding it to merchant only after you have completed it once? Like every other track you’ve done in the past.

So don’t run with the zerg? You can finish the track just flipping camps and sentries while killing any yaks you come across. Yes you can 100% pve in wvw if you are sneaky kitten.

Ight. So get run over by the other sides zerg.

Ight still get run over by the other sides zerg and then small roaming groups that are around 24/7 when I have the time to play.

It was kind of implied when he said don’t run with the zerg but I guess you missed it…

Don’t be bad

If you do that it’s pretty easy to avoid being run over by the enemy zerg.

Ok. Yeah. Gotcha. Don’t be bad. Tell that to the groups of 3-5 running around. That chase you to no frikkin end. Even on teef. There is no escape from experienced small group roamers. I’d pay to watch you escape from them. Or at least try.
All I want is my GoB. Honestly, after completing it once it should be in vendor. Fair enough.

I mean….. how much would you pay? I solo roam almost all of the time, killing and/or escaping larger groups is 90% of what I do.

Well, I can’t blame him for the frustration after playing WvW so much and building up all that WvW currency only to not be able to use it. The game mode gets stale. Imagine doing map completion 10×.

It took me 4 years to do map completion once. 10 is just… I’m not sure if I will live that long.

Not exactly stale. Just more of being forced to rely on someone else to get it done. I know you can solo but, it’s just frustrating going solo when you got small roaming groups chasing you to no end. Not allowing you to get anything done.

Am I the only one who wvws quite a bit AND sort of enjoyed map completion? Though I did stop when I had enough gifts for every legendary if I ever wanted to make that many…..

Either way, GOB isn’t changing….

You chose to take a break from the game which is perfectly fine, and not to read about the change which was not immediately implemented, it was simply stated in an update and players were given time to buy the gifts before the vendor was removed…and this is anets fault how???

Also going by your signature, a few hours “grind” or farming, however you want to look at it should not be so difficult for you. Seriously it takes less then 10 hours without boosters to finish a reward track. Nobody is forcing you to make a legendary, just like nobody is forced to do map completion, but if its a required task for something you want then suck it up and complete it.

Also check out the stickied thread at the top of the WvW forum, no need to start another thread on this topic, there has been enough already.

I complete reward tracks in that time on Darkhaven, which been stuck in last place of last tier ever since the links started (almost 4 months now). You just need to stop thinking that zerging is the only way to get participatiion and go capture some stuff by yourself or with friends.

And please, don’t come with the “I’ll get zerged at every corner” argument. Unless you’re on T1 (which you are not, Aurora Glade + Blacktide are currently 12th and on T4 matchup), there won’t be groups at every corner. And even if you were in T1, it would mean your server do have enough people to zerg.

No it was never possible to sell gob’s. And without being able to sell gobs I don’t want a stack of gob’s in my bank.

Because /facepalm on I find all legendaries really ugly, how can you want to wear one? /facepalm off I only build a leg once for sale when a pre dropped in front of my feet (in WvW, from a Kodashie). And hehe, I’ve the gob reward-track stopped at 99% such that I can get one very fast should that happen again.
