GW2 TP is awesome. Not only is it good for our game, it’s good for the industry.

Like to emphasize how the TP is good for the industry? blow your own trumpet by all means but don’t make silly immature statements.

It’s good for the industry because it demonstrates proof of concept. Not only for massively global trading systems, but for increased efficiency as the virtual economy scales.

I have no intention of recommending names be put on the TP. The arguments about names stopping manipulation lacks merit. I have no intention of speaking ill of WoW it was a great game, so let’s end it at that.

Is it fair to say 9/10 like it?

So I finally got my girlfriend to start playing after she tried out the ranger on my account. She really enjoyed how we we’re spending time together doing something I like to do, that’s the reason she decided to buy the game during the sale. I’m at work when she sends me text saying her account had been terminated. Two days of play and her account is gone. She made sure to logout when she stopped playing, she barely knows how to use her skills let alone how to bot. She sent a support ticket and they deleted her account without replying. This is wrong and I demand that this be made right immediately!

We would never delete a support account or a game account without replying.

Please provide the 12-digit Incident or Ticket Number so I can look into this.

When the event started, there were at least half a dozen medium-population worlds in both Europe and North America. It stands to reason that as the event winds down, the populations will have shifted. I’m sorry that you may have missed the opportunity, but it was both limited in time and in world availability.

Hey everybody,

I forwarded this up to those responsible for keeping track of the exploits email address. The mailbox full error has been taken care of, so you shouldn’t see the error anymore.

Additionally, despite the error message, we have been receiving the emails. The email address actually forwards to several mailboxes. One of them hadn’t been archived in a while and started spitting out that error.

Thanks for the reports, both to the email address, and the report here about the issue with the email address.

An update on this. Apparently the email authorization is triggered by just logging into Guild Wars I. I logged into it a bit ago successfully and within 2 minutes got an email requesting permission from Guild Wars 2. Anyone else having this issue?

Because the games are linked on the back end in many ways, what you’re describing does not surprise me. I hadn’t really thought about it, but sure, it makes sense.

Remember that if your ISP uses a range of IP addresses, you may receive a few authentication requests form your own location. Once they have been approved, the requests should drop to only those outside the normal IP range.

Hey guys, for anyone whose still having this problem I would try repairing the client. Aside from this you’ll also want to ensure all video card drivers are updated. Another thing you’ll want to check is to make sure to run the client as Admin when you launch it.

And just for good measure, if you’ve got a lot of background applications enabled, specifically security software, this can conflict with the Black Lion Trading Post as well and I might even suggest running Msconfig to rule these applications out.

I can’t make any promises, because nothing is set in stone yet, but that is something I would like to address, yes.

Seven months of people pointing out the sheer impossibility of obtaining any of the wvw titles in any reasonable timespan and it’s finally reached the stage of ’it’s something I’d like to address’.

I can’t speak to what has or has not been done in the past, but I have just started to improve WvW and I hope you can all provide me the benefit of the doubt. For at least one build, then you can return to the gnashing of teeth as usual.

As far as I’m aware, the offer is only for medium population worlds, and when the worlds are full, the worlds are full. I am sorry, but there’s no way that we could move anyone to a specific world upon request. If we did that, we’d be asked to do that for tens of thousands of players!

I do understand your situation and I am sorry that it worked out this way. I’ll say again, though, that I’m happy that players can earn the gems for a transfer in the game, and not be required to spend money to buy the transfer. Guild members are often more than willing to chip in a few gems each to help their guildie with a transfer, and perhaps your guild will do the same.

First, I don’t know of anything officially released as a loot table. You might find some good info on the subject on the Guild Wars 2 Wiki, though.

Secondly, it really IS random. Personal story: I hunted the Miniature Polar Bear for years. Daily, many, many runs a day. I’m sure my runs are in the hundreds if not thousands. I never have gotten the MBB, but a player told me she tried only about 10 times and got the bear.

Randomness is the rule, but yes, it can be very frustrating if it seems to exclude you!

I’m sorry to hear that your guild is having trouble with this particular bounty. After several reports of a possible bug, I’ve been looking into this target tonight and I have not found any bugs or instances where he was missing. This includes Aurora Glade, which I visited a few minutes ago. I found Sotzz nearby a centaur tent in the Northfields.

Thanks for the info and the feedback though. Ideally each bounty target should present a unique challenge, but no particular target should be extremely difficult in relation to the others. I’ll take a closer look at the success rates for this one; it sounds like it might need some tweaking.

Yeah, we had a hard mode in, but had to pull it because it was tanking the perf on the server. So we are building some new tech to accommodate it. If we have another release it will have a hard mode option for sure. We are literally working on it this week.

I just hope the day when you can stop sprinkling abundant if’s and maybes when talking about the future of the box is sooner rather than later.

It’s possible that this day may come at some point in some cases for some people.
