• A lot of newer players had trouble with the interface. That doesn’t apply to you, you’re veterans who have been around the conversion block a time or two. But newer players will benefit from the updated system.

I’m fine with changes made to make things simpler for new players.

I’m not okay with being forced to use dumbed-down versions of everything that worked fine for me because some people can’t handle complexity.

This is how I feel:

“The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal in every which way. Nobody was smarter than anyone else. … All the equality was due … to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General. …
It was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron’s fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.
It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn’t think about it very hard. Hazel had perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all time. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would sound out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.”

And, I’m now going to start a bet how long before people remember things cost . . . mostly, multiples of 100 or 50 on the Gem Store.

Which always made me wonder why people would buy odd numbers and then be unable to use them.

When they have sales, it’s not unusual for the sales price to be an odd number. So there’s tons of people out there with a strange amount of gems. I currently have 181 gems, and there is no way for me to buy 19 gems to even it out. With this new system I will forever have useless gems.

I currently have 181 gems. I want to buy the horns for 200 gems. I can no longer buy the 19 gems that I need.

My options to buy the horns are:
A. Buy 400 gems for 77gold
B. Buy 800 gems for $10
C. Buy nothing, and not get the horns.

I think I’ll go with option C.

The minis that have dancing animations should dance when their owner dances.

The ideal number of people completing this pre-event is ONE. Gathering siege pieces scales in a way that discourages people from helping, because the requirement (# of pieces to turn in) scales up, but the spawn rate does not. So, the more people who help, the longer it takes.

Please tweak this, so that the more people help, the faster it gets done.

Agreed, it messes up the look of my guardian. Wouldn’t be so bad if the skill was optional, but all guardians are required to run around with this thing on them.

I find it funny when I find walnuts in cherry trees.

1. Exploding Chickens.
2. Champion Risen.
3. Anything that flies.

I dread making alts because I have to do massive chores to make them useable with groups.

1. Map Completion – My group is doing an activity, but my alt doesn’t have a waypoint near that location. So, I either hold up the group while I run across the map, or I don’t go. Also to make legendaries this is required.

2. Personal Story- I really don’t want to reenact the same personal story for each character.

Doing these things once is fine, doing them for each characters is tedious.

$$$$ If I made more characters I would BUY:
- Backpack slots for each character.
- More bank slots for each characters gear.
- More transmutation stones.
- More bonus packs.
- More character slots.
- etc….

Agreed. The other day I wanted to send some food to each person in my party, it took quite some time to send just 4 messages.

Also, the ability to prevent the daily tracker from minimizing.
