I think there should be two different commander ranks. One for PvE and one for WvW, and I agree you should have a certain amount of achieve pts or WvW points in order to acquire it.
1. I don’t like the idea of making farming even more mandatory. I agree though that quest chains leading to legendaries would rock, but these should be altered by your personal story.
2. I personally like how people can get lucky. I agree though that we need a trade screen, and community events with gamemasters stepping in to lead.
3. Originally, ANet had lower prices than the gold sellers. They should have kept this practice as it’s the best way to encourage honesty – Make it more worthwhile.
4. Do you really care so much about skins? Rewards should be USEFUL, not FLASHY.
1) Farming wouldn’t be mandatory, it would be an optional method of gaining materials added to the list of current ways. If farming isn’t for you, you could stick to what you’re doing now for your materials and items.
2) I like how people can get lucky too but there’s a problem with the same people being the lucky ones.
3) I completely agree with that.
4) I care about skins because its what sets apart players from one another. Since it is a game, aesthetics are everything.
Yeah I LOVE the living story. I think its been a fantastic addition to the game and I am glad that they are keeping up with it. But I wish it wasn’t the ONLY thing to do as a level 80 you know?
I think that down the line Anet will probably allow EU and NA to play together again because in GW1 the same thing happened. In the beginning they couldn’t play together. -crosses fingers-
7) HoM~ The HoM is a big disappointment. I would like Anet to start to introduce some of the items gw1 veterans spent so much time getting, such as the tormented weapons, into the hall of monuments. If the HoM was made cooler and more rewarding it would even be beneficial to arenanet because non gw1 vets would want to buy the game and fill their HoM.
8) Guilds~Making it so players have to be on the same server to even contribute the guild is not fair. This ruins the community aspect of guilds. Please let the Europeans and North Americans play together. Please bring back Guild Halls. Please bring back guild tournaments and snowball tournaments or something like it. I would also like the WvW map to be rotated but I understand that that would take a lot of work to do.
9) Time-gating ~ Weapons, Dungeons, Armor. If this was implemented in a different way it would work. Such as putting in a quest line or mission line that you could do solo, with guildies, and/or with other players. But that’s just my two cents. Maybe others like the time-gating?
10) Censoring players ~ Players need to feel as though they are heard and it would be nice if Anet could take some of the criticisms and address them in a post and acknowledge that the players aren’t happy with it.
11) A LFG system. ~ In gw1 this was great because you could just press (p?) and a in game browser of sorts would pop up and you could see people looking for a group for whatever.
12) The TP~ Put a time limit on buy orders and sell orders in the TP. This would keep inflation down and keep certain people from dominating the market.
What do other people think? Do you guys think that these need to be fixed and if so do you have any ideas of how to make things better?

As a Guildwars 1 veteran I am becoming increasingly more disappointed and discouraged. In the past 6 months almost all of my Guildwars 1 friends quit Guildwars 2 and are moving onto other games. But this doesn’t have to be this way. We can bring these players back if we just make some changes. I will now bring up what I think needs some work in this game and suggest changes. I would love to see what other people say about these issues:
1) Lack of farming ~ When Guildwars 2 was introduced they claimed it would not be a “high grind” game. However the more expensive “nicer” weapons and armor in the game require HIGH grind, without means of farming. The introduction of champions and champion farming is fantastic. I would like to see more of this as well as more ways you could get t6 mats. Maybe have an option at the end of dungeons to get daily t6 mats and/or gold for various paths. Or maybe do a tiered daily where if you completed all daily tasks you could get t6 mats.
2) Lack of end game content. ~I don’t know about anyone else but after I hit 80, geared up my character, and completed my story (which had an ending that made me say “lol this is?”) I had nothing left to do. It would be nice if we could have some raids or maybe some repeatable quest lines that would give t6 mats or maybe even a precursor. I know that WoW had quest lines that led to legendary weapons of sorts and it was a great idea. This is a great implementation of time-gating.
3) RNG System ~ Everything nice in this game is pretty much dependent on RNG. Why is it that some people have gotten 8 precursors from the forge within 3 months of playing and others who have played since beta haven’t gotten any? I don’t mind some RNG but when everything is RNG its not fun. I don’t know how to fix this at this point but if anyone else has any ideas id love to hear them!
4) Lack of a community ~THIS Is by far the BIGGEST let down. I was so excited when Guildwars 2 was announced because it seemed like it would foster a great community. But not players are being banned for “selling gold” when they give guildies and loved ones expensive items or t6 crafting mats. I think that the system needs to be worked on so that these gifts aren’t flagged and maybe bring back a trading screen like there was in guildwars 1. I also think it’d be great if Anet would hire a community manager person who would hold events on various servers ever month or once a year. There is so much potential for community events with the way cities and maps in general are set up!
5) The gem store PROMOTES Gold sellers. Where to start with this….Well I will start from the beginning. In the beginning A-net said that the Gem store would not put players who didnt spend rl money on the gem store at a disadvantage. But thats whats happening. Because Anet is selling gold to their players in a game where this is the only means to get gold fast for these really expensive weapons, players who spend rl money on the gem store have a leg up in getting these really nice weapons. Now to the part where this promotes gold sellers; this is a game and people are competing for the best price and they don’t really have means to “farm” money so they buy money from other players. Ordinarily I would say, yes this is a horrible thing, but I am feeling as though they aren’t doing anything wrong when they could be buying gold from the game makers themselves. I think Anet should make a constant gold to gem and gem to gold rate or remove it entirely. There could be better ways to make it so people didn’t feel the need to buy money or that they were at a disadvantage for not doing so but I am not quite sure how else one would fix that.
6) I don’t feel as though gw1 vets are cared about or even matter ~ I was a bit hurt by the fact they made the process of getting zodiac weapons involve the gem store. It would be nice if we could get crafting recipes for these by doing quests or missions. Maybe not of the weapons but at least some of them. I really hope that anet doesn’t throw tormented weapons into the gem store.
I would really like for people to stop looking at this as if it were a REAL political event. This is one crazy social experiment. BOTH of these characters are fictional. We really don’t know much about them. (Imo they both seem corrupt, just one is painted as corrupt up front. Its like Obama vs McCain) As soon as a vote is made for either side Anet could present them in a completely different light. So please, lets stop with the whole “Kiel is moral, Evon is not” bullsh*t. Why is nobody thinking about WHY the Abaddon fractal is paired with Evon and the Thaumanova fractal with Kiel? Why is nobody considering where Anet could go with the story by bringing gw1 history into gw2 versus limitations that will be put on Anet by creating another ASURAN themed fractal. I haven’t seen a good valid argument as to why Kiel is better than Evon. If Evon really is the bad guy and Kiel is some wonder woman wouldn’t it be interesting to change up the story and bring on something chaotic and unexpected? Nothing outrageous has happened in GW2 yet and frankly I am getting pretty bored of the path we’re on. I would like to see change. Vote ~ Evon Gnashblade
