Why can’t you just enjoy how it is right now? To be honest, there’s a reason why these kinds of things become insanely popular: because looting the chests is more profitable then doing the actual events. No one cares about the events because they give us nothing. We waste a lot of time for 3 piles of sand and a couple of bandit crests. Until they start making events more enticing, obviously more people would rather the chest farm. I’ve been playing this game since launch, and have had so much trouble making money that doesn’t involve me having to spend hours and days and weeks to rack up a decent profit. Once the chest farming started I was able to finally build up some gold at a decent rate without having to spend a ton of time. In this game, the rich get richer, and the poor stay where they are until something comes along that can boost them out of that. I’m not saying it’s a good thing that people abandon the events, but just remember. The shovels will start to run out quickly with most people just doing chest farms, and when they do run out, a lot more people will be more inclined to do the events again for a while until either the next part of the story comes out, the farm gets nerfed, or everyone finally starts to lose interest. So yeah, the way Anet is providing content needs to be rethinked, but until then, just join in and enjoy it while it lasts. Unless of course, you’ve got 500g and a full armor set already and just play the game for new content. There are a few lfg maps that state they’re event only not farm maps, maybe you should hit one of those up if you’re looking for story and not farm.
Hell, I wouldn’t mind if they gave everyone a soulbound precursor of choice. Just one though, per account. That way everyone gets at least a shot at getting a ledgendary, then the economy wont go down the drain not that it hasn’t already.
Very dissappointed. I was really happy to find out that the OF servers still had the event running, after about an hour of trying to get into an overflow with an active event, I was extremely happy. I even contemplated texting my BF and wake him up so he could join in the event, (He lives in EST, so it was midnight for him he had to get up at 7am for school until 5pm.) and I’m extremely happy that I didn’t bother waking him up. He was very sad that because he had work from 5:30 in the morning to 2pm, and then work on his programming project, and then church at 5. Anyway, I’m very glad I didn’t wake him because not long before the event was over, the game crashes! Why? Because they had to kick all the trial folks off. Am I not the only one who is flabbergasted by this? Didn’t they have account timers on the original guild wars for trial accounts? Why did they not use that to kick off trial accounts? I’m just amazed that ANet decided to go this route.
