Guild Wars 2

webtoehobbit.4201:

If you look at the history between ANet and us, the players, the trust has been eroding for quite some time. I think this may finally have been the straw that broke the camels back….

This really sums it up for me. It is an issue of eroded trust. Like OP I do think this is turning out to be the final straw for many. I can think of countless cases of misdirection, keeping players in the dark and even instances where the official line was changed after the fact. No one likes feeling that they are being played, ignored or scammed.

Let’s hope Anet has it in them to turn this thing around. We need a very real and respectful response and solution, and soon. Sometimes Anet does listen and respond. Let’s hope this is one of those times.

they are waiting… if the sale go well. they will just keep ignore.

This. Which is short sighted to say the least. Anet is leaking vet players, many of whom have spent $100’s and even $1000’s in the gem store supporting this ‘no subscription’ game over the last 3 years.

Unfortunately, loyalty and goodwill can only go so far, and each time they mislead us or otherwise appear to be playing us, it leaves a bad taste and drains away just a little more of that goodwill and loyalty, ultimately culminating in situations like this.

I am adopting a wait and see approach for now. However, whether or not they address it or fix it, I fear that much of the damage has already been done.

I bought them from the gem store initially, now I’ve got multiple dups. It’s rather a kick in the rear to delete such a “prize”.

Please ANET, either make them tradeable or at least let us throw them in the mystic forge, for a chance at a different mini.

I like to see topics like this pop up. When in a long dry streak myself, it’s reassuring (if disheartening) to find out that the mystic forge drop rate hasn’t been messed with (yeah, I’ve got a tin foil hat!), and that’s it’s just my own bad luck.

Of course this kind of RNG is a prime reason why I stopped feeding the mystic forge so much. Too much gold and too many clicks for less than stellar results.

This Gobbler is a great item. It makes a great sink for all my candy corn. In this case I don’t mind the randomness, as you are getting a great deal for your candy corn, due to the boosts stacking. But I wish there wasn’t a cool down on the feeding.

Just a quick update for our SSOM owners.. We’ll be improving the per use cost of the Silver-fed Salvage-O-Matic in one of the upcoming releases. Stay tuned.

I hope by “improving” you mean “decreasing”

:P

1 Candy Corn per use.

Of course not. It’s a Silver fed Salvage-o-matic… it’ll be one silver doubloon per use.

I hadn’t thought of that….. hmmm.

yes it will be decreasing

Now this is good news! Thank you. I bought it without stopping to do the math. Once I did the math, I couldn’t bring myself to use it. :P

However, please don’t make it fed by a commodity, or any other item that may fluctuate in price. Please just make it currency fed.

If you want to keep it as silver fed, then give it salvaging stats a step higher than the master kit, but less than the BLSK, of course.

I’m sure there’s more than a dozen people who bought a bunch of keys expecting the permanent hair stylist contract to be temporary.

This is really a bad thing for ANET to do to their customers. If they say something is going to be temporary, it should be temporary because it factors into purchasing decisions.

Now I expect everything that is “temporary” to always come back such as mystic conduits, greatsaws, and ghastly grinning shields.

Although I think it makes a great addition to the permanent loot table, I highly dislike being misled and lied to. Anet initially said temporary and 2 weeks.

Thinking it was now or never, I overspent in both cash and gold trying to get one. My choice, of course, but based on false information fed to us by Anet. My bad, but if Anet had been telling the truth, it would have been my only chance to get one before the 2 weeks were over and the prices went stratospheric.

What do I take away from this? Don’t trust what Anet says, and especially do not make any buying decisions based on officially given timelines or statements of limited availability. Period.

As someone who buys gems with both gold and cash, I find this to be a very player unfriendly move.

Reduced transparency and options makes me less likely to use the gem store. Why impose these limits? If I want to buy 17 gems to round up to a purchase, or sell 171 gems for gold, I can’t really see how that is hurting your bottom line.

Please also bring back the graph. You already lose so much when changing gold to gems and vice versa, it helps to decide when is the best time to make the exchange to minimize the loss.

This happened to me too. I logged in this afternoon (with all the Halloween content) just fine, but when I tried to log-in again tonight, my password didn’t work anymore. Rather than use the ‘recover account’ option, I just used the ‘forgot password’ option and could log-in again.

Same thing happened to me once before after a patch.

Any word on this? It was nice having all my auction listings back for those few days with the temporary fix, but now I am limping along blind again. All my older listings have fallen off into the abyss of the acursed listings limit ‘feature’ of the TP. Without access to a lot of my listed items, my gold well has sadly run dry again.

Also, I am soooo tired of undercutting myself. Please bring back the ‘match lowest listing’ feature too.

All my older selling auctions have dropped off my transactions now and I have no way to see or access them. This is really crippling. Please fix.

After giving the new TP a test drive over the last couple days, I agree with most of the posters here that there are quite a few issues. Even though many of my points have already been noted, I use the TP a lot, so I wanted my voice to be heard.

I do like that it is less laggy and that we have a small listing of prices when selling items, but the bad outweighs the good. Here are some of the areas of concern for me:

1. The removal of lowest available listing is a big handicap when selling, and quite a time sink when I have to go through my listings to see what I have listed to avoid undercutting myself.
2. Limited history when buying and selling leaves me a little blind, especially when considering if I want to cancel older listings.
3. The item info pop-ups flipping into my field of view when I just want to buy random items to forge are annoying.
4. Too many clicks to do basic stuff. If I’m going to suffer from repetitive motion strain, I want it to be from adventuring in game, not using the TP.
5. The working portion of the TP window is a lot smaller and cramped. My eyes go a little buggy after a while.
6. When buying stuff it doesn’t refresh the prices.
7. When canceling listings it shoots you back up to the top rather than holding the place, which means more scrolling to get back down to where I was.
8. Finally, a minor thing… I miss the front page of top valued, top traded, etc. It was always interesting to scan and was handy when buying stuff like ectos.

For all it’s lag and lack of armor weight searching, the old TP was much more functional for my purposes.
