I looked up the chat, and let’s just say you were a little liberal with words beginning with the letter “F” today. Please read above for our policy on in-game chat. It truly is not a free-for-all because there’s a chat filter.
As far as making our policy clear, please see the first item on the Rules of Conduct: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-rules-of-conduct/ I really think that’s pretty clear.

Thanks for posting this, Fried. I closed your other thread so the devs can focus on any continuing issues and so they know the one you reported was cleared through changes on your system.
Looks like Fried solved the problem, so I’ll close this thread.
If you currently are experiencing this issue, please be sure to provide your OS info, as that will help the team analyze this. Thanks.
I’ve been getting this screen the last few days…
Nothing loads.
How about enabling the option of buying gems through the website like every other game? I am having this blank screen problem right now, meaning I can’t even get to decide which amount to purchase because I can’t see them.
I live in a country where all game cards are far more expensive than the amount they’re for although I’m fairly certain that only Blizzard sells game cards in Iceland. That being said, I wish it was possible to at least buy an electronic came card online through this very website.
Sincerely;
Cutie Boo.
I’d like you to add your post to this thread so we can keep these reports together:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Gem-Store-not-loading/first#post2926517
Please be sure to include your OS (and version, if possible) when you post.
(Note: The thread was started last September, but I noticed about half a dozen reports in the last week, so I’m e-mailing the team to ask about this.)
Thanks for your help!
By all means contact Support so the team can help you with this.
Thank you Inculpatus. =) It’s still frustrating and highly discourages us to play together now. With so much of the game geared towards player cooperation, one shouldn’t fear playing with somebody sitting right next to them in fear of their accounts getting terminated.
My wife and I play the game together often, while sitting in the same room and share money and items through a private guild bank. These things will not cause problems for you, we’ve had no difficulties in well over a year.
The number of reports or the circumstances around them will not get you banned either. Anet employees investigate the reports but they are only human and on rare occasions make mistakes. If you investigated hundreds of reports every day you might see something that isn’t there once in a while, too. It’s unlikely you will have any more problems but if you do an appeal will set things right in a few days.
Thank you for this information, tolunart. I am sure it will be helpful to ArchieD.
This is the account issue forums why can nothing be done.
The forum is not the place to post individual requests of this nature. The Customer Support Team has worked with you to resolve your account compromise issue, and an agent will be happy to review your new request. Please update your existing ticket (do not make a new one) to file a request to be moved back to your old game world. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback guys, there were some good points brought up here. This is why we wanted to discuss these future changes so that we had time to adjust to your feedback.
We’ll be discussing this change more internally. Most likely we will make some adjustments or look at other options such as replacing clones not triggering Debilitating Dissipation so it does not impact mesmer play as much which wasn’t our intent.
You make good points. I’d like to add that even the most trustworthy e-mails can be phishing attempts, if your friend or family member has his/her e-mail account compromised. I have gotten e-mails allegedly from very close, very well-trusted people, but I take one look at think “Nah, I’ll pass” because it’s something very sketchy, like “You have to see this! with a link.” I think we all should be very aware that most compromises involve e-mail accounts, so it’s good to be very, very skeptical about anything that comes into one’s e-mail inbox!
Hey Delchev, these lines are not implemented because of mismatched voice over due to a recording error. You can find a lengthy discussion and explanation about it in this thread here:
Would be awesome to see some new teams join up. What is there to lose?
When providing suggestions, keep in mind that we’d like to bring over existing stat combinations that exist in PvE/WvW already, but that doesn’t necessarily rule-out creating brand new stat combos. As we mentioned on Ready Up on Friday, the addition of ferocity could open up new combinations with critical damage as the heaviest stat.
Just something to keep in mind!
Got a question if you will, Josh. Lord Helseth mentioned on his TwitchTV (as well brought up by you guys at the first part of the Ready Up) Ferocity won’t actually make it into PvP. This means it will only stay in PvE/WvW and we PvPers are still left with Precision, thus thinking up new Amulets using Ferocity is a waste of time.
Is this true?
Ferocity will be in PvP – it will be weighted to keep the critical damage numbers relatively the same as they are now.

Quick update:
Happy new year everyone! Now that we’re back from holiday vacations, we’ve got more improvements that’ll be rolling out soon. A handful of client improvements will also be making their way (soon hopefully), that should see a drastic memory usage drop and client frame-rate improvements, especially for lower-end hardware.
I’ll make sure to update once I have a better idea of what release you can start seeing these changes trickle in.

Bug Fix
Hey mesmers,
For clarification: if you have 0-2 clones out and you dodge, you will summon a clone.
If you have 3 clones out and you dodge, nothing will happen.
@Sigil stacking – I guess we didn’t make it clear enough on stream – many of the sigils will be rebalanced to compensate for the ability to stack two of the same type.

Thank you for collecting this feedback, eleshazar, however this feedback really belongs on another forum as the audio department generally has no involvement with addressing issues regarding which lines play or how often they play, merely with the quality of the voice files that play, and how voice sounds compared to the rest of the audio mix.
This is not true for non-voiced sound effects, however, as the audio department generally has total control over all aspects of these.
Hello
I just bought the game few days ago and made a testing character.
I unintentionally accepted the items I got in mail after buying the game.
I want to play with my brother so I made a second character which is the active one.
The ‘testing account/first one’ I do not use and yet it has the gift items on it.I don’t mind whatever happens to that one, you can even delete it.
But … can you send the items again to the second one? You can auto-delete the first character so that I don’t have double items. The items are all intact and haven’t used even one. It’s just the fact that it’s on the wrong character and cannot use them as of yet.Thank you (great game btw, worth the money)
I’m glad you’re enjoying the game! For help of this sort, you need to personally file a support ticket — it’s not something we can undertake with a forum request.
Please click “Support” at the top of this page, then “Submit a request” on the linked page. From there, provide the requested information about your account and an agent will assist you as soon as possible. (Please note: There are a number of questions that you can answer, but you are not required to answer all of those questions. The questions are posed to ensure that whatever steps we take are being requested by the account owner.)
It worked, thanks:)
I am glad that’s all sorted. Thanks for sharing the suggestions, guys.
Why is this person getting his cash bought items restored Gaile? When i lost a cash bought item by i deleting a char, i got told they would not restore the item??
I’m afraid you’re jumping to conclusions. The case is still being investigated. The question was about when he could expect a response, not about the content of that response.
He can contact Support by clicking “Support” at the top of this page, then “Submit a request” on the linked page. CS will be able to assist him.
He did it yesterday, but none answer him yet. Early today he submitted another request and he’s still waiting for an answer.
And that is precisely what he should not have done. Submitting duplicate requests bogs down the support system and slows our ability to respond to anyone, including the person who submits the duplicates. Instead of being able to answer the ticket, first we must search for and merge or close the duplicates and then send a response.
If your friend wants to update his ticket to provide more information or to request an update, have him update his original ticket and ask that he not create any new ones.
He submitted a ticket just yesterday and we are not always able to respond within 1 day, although we are working to improve response times. The ticket will be answered in the order received. If he wishes to provide an alternative e-mail address — one that is not blocked — he can update his original ticket with a secondary contact e-mail address.
Thank you.

Great! I can see that the ticket is moving through the process just fine, and is being handled by a terrific agent, so all is well.
I understand better what’s going on now that I’ve seen the ticket and who is working on it. No worries now!

I just received an email from support@guildwars2.com for requesting a forgotten password. The only problem is, I know my password and didnt send the ticket. I immediately got an email from support@guildwars2.com asking to verfiy that the person who sent the ticket was me by giving info on my character’s race/prof/etc. I dont know what to do, is this legit? Did somebody use my email address to try and change my password?
I am very concerned that your e-mail account may have been compromised. Answer questions VERY carefully at this point, since someone may be reading your mails and gaining all the information that you share. I suggest that you create your own ticket with a different e-mail account and contact Support so that they can investigate.
I could be overly concerned and this may all be just fine. But you’re worried, and I share your concern about this. When someone tells me that a password reset request was submitted but not by them that’s one area of concern. When you get “prove you own the account” requests, that’s an even higher level of concern.
Please let me know how this sorts out.
Hi!
I sent a ticket to the support and they do two things that I don’t understand. I just ask for the recovery of my infinite tools (I deleted a character and forgot to put them in the bank before).They’ve asked to use my account and changed my password. Just why ?
Can’t they juste check my account without it ? Just look in the database that I’ve buy the infinite tools 2 weeks ago and that they’re not in my bank or on a character ?
Why have they to lock my account and create a character on it (They created a Norn named “Testytesty” ?It’s not phishing because I’ve not give my password.
Where did you file a support ticket? What is the number? I will investigate, and thank you.

aaaand he’s gone.
Not quite!
I’m still getting acclimated to the WvW team, and most recently I’ve been working with the balance team on the livestream we’ll be running tomorrow. (Which you’ll of course be watching, right?)
I actually ended up playing with dev in soloq… he was playing an ele and was doing fine O.o
Were you playing with Powerr? We won our first match-up in the 2v2 tournament last weekend with him playing D/D ele. He’s a great player.
As for elementalists, we’re not scared to talk about them, we just haven’t talked about any profession really (in regards to the next update). There are a bunch of changes coming down the pike for the entire game in general. I mentioned on the ele forums before the holidays that we think the main problem with elementalist is sustain – and that’s what we’re focusing on addressing. I mentioned on the ESL livestream today that our first step towards rectifying this is making Signet of Restoration function the same in PvP as it does in PvE.

Here’s our current status on granting the missing Season reward chests. If you’re still in the same region (NA or EU) as you were when the Season began, you’re in situation A. Otherwise, you’re in situation B.
Situation A (still in the same region):
When the Edge of the Mists map is released, it will come with a code fix to grant you the appropriate Season reward when you next load into any map on any character.
Situation B (now in a different region):
We’re still finalizing the solution for this issue. It will be in soon after the Edge of the Mists map. Current setups we’re looking at are along the lines of talking to an NPC or loading into a particular map; either would be with any character.
Thanks for any patience extended while we work the kinks out of a new system.

Dialogue cues are content design implementation (game design) with an audible side effect, and as such this is out of the purview of the audio department.
The general Guild Wars 2 Discussion sub forum is definitely a better place to leave this type of feedback.

OK, I sent a support request in game and I just submitted a report via the support on the website.
Again, and just for clarify for others who might read this: submitting a report in the game about purchase issues or gem card issues is not appropriate. You need to submit a ticket in order to get help with such things.
I sent one in game
There is no way to submit a ticket in the game. You can submit a report for a limited number of reasons, such as offensive chat, disallowed name, or botting. But you cannot request assistance with an issue of this type from within the game. Please follow the instructions above to submit a ticket. We’d be delighted to help you!
I am sorry that you gave your personal information to someone who sent you a phishing e-mail. I believe that our customer support team can help you with this situation, so I’m glad you got in touch with them.
I’ll link to the main thread about phishing, for the benefit of others: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/A-Note-about-Phishing-Emails-1/first#post2074388
It is so kind of you to post this, Friday! I will be sure to let our team know about this post! 
Very speed reply, thank you very much, quick and easy fix for me!
Thanks again,
