It took me 30-40 tries to get ONE jump right on this **** Breach Wall… It was horrific, especially since it’s more difficult to aim jump with a Charr than it is with a human, for example.
I entered the queue, and after the other fight finished i got thrown into the Arena… with another queued up player and two enemies in our face. Sufficient to say, with two bosses at once the wipe was almost instantenous. I have no clue what caused the problem.

Why anyone spends real life money for gems, I’ll never know. You may be supporting Anet, which in turn, allows them to put out more content, but more often than not, it’s content many people don’t want, poorly implemented (the amount of bugs is astonishing) and Anet still doesn’t seem to listen to it’s customers (the last patch was a step in the right direction, but still too little, too late).
Why anyone spends 2+ hours farming for gold when I can get the same amount by spending pocket change, I’ll never know. Maybe some people actually enjoy running CoF P1 over and over and over again. I don’t.
Yup, I would much rather work for an extra hour and spend that money on gems -> gold (and have plenty left over) than grind away for an hour in game and make a fraction of that amount.
And now we’re getting to a bigger issue – you see, many people from different countries don’t have the income neccesary to easily pay for gems with their money. It’s either because of lower average payment, lower worth of their currency, or a combination of both.
I’m gonna give you an example, that i recently found out about – Average US citizen needs work for around 4 hours to earn enough money for a moderately priced new game. But, for example, average Polish citizen would have to work for over 16 hours to get the same game.
You see where i’m getting at? 10 Euro in your country maybe pocket change, but in mine it’s actually quite a lot. And this is also partially a problem for ANet/NCSoft, since they could’ve earned a lot more money if the prices were adjusted for every region, because i bet my kitten off many people from poorer countries would’ve wanted to get their chance. But they don’t since middle class here = lower class in US/UK etc.
I’m tired of those pathetic skins with bone and rusty things on it. I want some nice blueish metal things, or some subtle effects on them.
Everyone has a different taste man – for me, the best skins right now are Krytan Armor Skin and a new heavy one, Braham’s Heavy Armor Skin. On the other hand i really hate Profane Armor, and i know couple of people that actually seem to like it. It’s just a matter of opinion, and in my humble one – i want more skins with bone/tribal elements, i simply love those.
What i really want to see is removing of Heavy/Medium/Light categories from skins – if i want to be a warrior who rocks leather and skulls (Krytan Armor Skin) then please, allow me to do so.
I don’t really know what the big deal really is then – after all we can get the keys for gold, and that gives everyone a chance to get those things. Of course, people with more funds will be able to get more chances, but it’s still, as mentioned earlier, random, ergo: more buying ? more winning. This whole situation is being unnecesarily blown out of proportion.
