Sorry to break it to all of you who hope/think that ascended will be sold via laurels, tokens, badges. Crafting to 500 will be useless if that was the case.
It was to make money from gem buys for transfers.
Which is perfectly fine, but don’t be fooled by some high minded talk of the best fighting it out. They’re a business and this was a nice way to make some bucks off of bandwagoners.
We’ll if you think about it, they would’ve made more money by giving better rewards so that there is more future bandwagoners.
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the main reason for season 1 was the reward?
I play wvw alot so I probably will, but I deffs wont be putting all my effort into them thats for sure
WOW anet sure did a good job on making it look so unreal! kind of like the rewards that we got for season 1!
Guildwars stated that they want to be different from all the other mmorpgs. Instead of rewarding lucrative rewards, they reward you with a swift kick to the face. IT’S THEIR WAY OF THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX!
As a 9 year Guild Wars veteran, I think it’s almost time for me to hangup the old cape; oh wait that’s right, we don’t even get capes in gw2…
I can taste all the SBI tears! cheers to those fighting a losing battle =D
We keep trying to teach you SBI’s to spread your people out instead of blobbing into one BL, that’s just self suicide because our commanders are much better then yours =).
You are forgiven for assuming I’m SBI.
LOL! that’s embarrassing
your belief that its all about coverage and numbers is why you lose. Instead of coming for our throats and battling hard, you run to the easy way out. Blame numbers and quit.
I’m not sure what you mean, since the current score indicates that people are still out there fighting (ex: no server’s PPT is 100>), I don’t think it’s proper to say any server has just “given up and blamed numbers”. Both servers are still out in full forces doing their best, but yes in the long run the winner is decided by numbers and coverage. Even if you were to take a guild like VotF, who could easily kill anything and everyone anywhere at anytime here in NA, they are only 1 guild that runs maybe 20-30 people at MAX, and therefore can only be present on 1 map at a single time, meaning they can only command up to about 140 PPT for their team. So indeed, in this game of WvW, it all comes down to numbers and coverage, and which servers can apply the most constant pressure onto their opponents to prevent them from having time to recover. It’s simple, truly.

YESSSSS Let me feed off of your raaaage!!!! grrrrrrrr u tiger
How can one be angry when one is a Night Elf Mohawk?
I pity the fool who thinks seasons indicate any level of skill for an individual timeslot.
No, but videos and pictures are proof and we have plenty. Tehehe
To see all your tears and feigned tough guy acts… Oh yeah! VERY worth it XD
So you find tanking your matches before seasons to join a league where no server even comes remotely close to your coverage just so you can have 7 weeks of the most fun PvDoor your SEA/OCX/EU will ever have just so you can say you “enjoyed watching our tears”?
And to think before seasons I didn’t even really know or care who was on FA, now all I know about you guys is what you and all of your other awful commanders who don’t know how to count or recognize a pug zerg when they see one say on the forums to try and give a personal ego boost.
But indeed, keep making posts about how your server is superior in skill and blatantly ignore the fact that if it weren’t for your off hours players doing PvDoor when there is practically no one online you wouldn’t even be close to the tier you are now.
YESSSSS Let me feed off of your raaaage!!!! grrrrrrrr u tiger
I for one like how they claim to be wagon burners, yet when I go here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment
All I see are posts from FA trying to grab people left and right to join them.
Wauw. Such hypocrite. Very laugh. So burn.
I see NV, BOMB, and SIC recruiting.
I don’t know if you’re DB or SBI, but SBI has BEAST, and this sad sad post : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Recalling-All-Ex-SBI-WvWers
“SBI needs you more than ever. You have been abroad, learning new and better ways to fight. It is time to return home. Bring that experience you have and bring our server to it’s former glory.
Those of us who had remained, kept home safe and well for you. We are waiting patiently for you, our brothers and sisters.”Everyone recruits, what’s your point?
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA that’s the most cheeeesy desperation I’ve ever read!!
Hey Fort Asswood, i hate you. If sbi tried you noobs would all die. LEL! You suck. Ha. HA HA. Ha
Well you SBI’s are blobbing this forum (like you guys do in WvW) with hate comments like this. Sounds like you guys are in desperate need of some morale for your world.
wtb troll detector, 800 gems
No troll intended, just straight up truth!
All bark no bite
FA: Makes matchup thread about “wagon burning”, takes 4 days establish a sub 20k lead.
Then chest thumps like champs.
By all means remind everyone on this forum who’s #1 on this league. BTW, do you have a fetish for chest thumps or something? You use it quite often.
SBI…all talk. No proof.
All bark no bite

Well you SBI’s are blobbing this forum (like you guys do in WvW) with hate comments like this. Sounds like you guys are in desperate need of some morale for your world.
Here’s a pic earlier this morning of us farming SBI north camp for a good half hour. You guys couldn’t even wipe us with portal bombs and siege! We’re talking about double the people with your precious [TE] and [Abys] guilds.
It was literately harder to manage our inventory then it was to manage you guys. Hence the merchant and black lion trader. GG
Prove it SBI show us your 10-15 man wiping our 50.
Make a video.
You can make up stories but can’t seem to make a video.
Go watch Tyrion’s videos, he has plenty. Funny part is that you guys always build siege during your zerg fests and still manage to lose. But maybe that’s your guy’s downfall; spending all that time on siege rather then pvping us. Just my 2 cents.
lol funny, I was on pretty late last night. I think you’ve mistaken that commander-less 8-12 pug a 50 man zerg.
Last night 50man FA zerg gets wiped by a 10-15 BÆST army, I wouldn’t be proud if I were you FA.
Just sad. All talk no play.
Our score sure says otherwise
Tyrion, I beat up one of your guardians on SBI BL earlier today, over and over, he kept running away. He then brought 10 of his friends after a couple deaths. And I am just a measly warrior! Maybe you should drop some open field siege for help.
Maybe get off your high horse and stop causing drama? You guys SHOULD be winning, you have more coverage than we do. Everyone farms each other all day in every BL, so you getting bags is nothing new.
And you kill him and ?? GG for you i dont care, you need to talk to him. no with me.
SBI need to stop to trash talk thats it ^^ more coverage ?? LOL but SBI you have more coverage then us, the difference is we have better people.
And you guys do the 2vs1 since Reset, so what happen ? FA can handle that!!!
Today in SBIBL i farma TE commander all day long, until i leave the game and he can take my Bay, the only moment in the days when SBI will take their BAY is when im not online ^^ so sad, and please SBI dont drop siege in open field battle, have some proud.
Video of Reset night 2vs1 in EB .
Again with this crap. Refer to my last post.
There is nothing spectacular about zerging over your opponents. Most people have sense enough to not chest thump over it.
EDIT: L2English
Lol, funny that you mentioned that. The whole afternoon, SBI’s 50 man group of a joke could barely cap any of our towers with our 15-20 FAs in EB; although you guys cheered and danced on our corpses as if you guys won the league or something.
So to my understanding, each 1st place winner in each league will receive a dolyak finisher at the end of the season. Does this mean if I transfer over to the server before the end of the season, I could just obtain the finisher just like that?
With all the recent outrageous updates, I think anet should implement a voting system before they continue with any updates. I think it would lessen all the grief for both parties.
Please bring it back into the gem store =(. I would pay extra gems for it and I’m sure anyone else would too!
So what’re the new new items you can get during this LS? so far all i know is you can get a mini and daggers. anything else?
I dunno what you guys are complaining about. Got the achievement in a week and played about 2 hours everyday.
There’s a big difference between “difficult” and tedious, unproductive grind. Perhaps if you actually read the thread you’d know what “we guys are complaining about.”
I still don’t get why people feel the urge to comment on kitten they don’t read.
I’m not sure why you are criticizing me. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my post clearly states that the achievements aren’t difficult nor tedious, as it’s achievable even with average game play.
I dunno what you guys are complaining about. Got the achievement in a week and played about 2 hours everyday.
I stacked my birthday present booster, guild banner, food and karma booster, but I didn’t receive any bonuses karma from using my liquid karmas. Is this a bug or did they change it so you don’t get bonuses from liquid karma?
let me lick your tears
The old skins better come back. Also I’m tired of these pay2win sore losers speaking up saying the old skins shouldn’t return. What a load of crap if you ask me.
The only reason they got those skins was because they paid for them, now they don’t want people to be able to get them.
What a load of rubbish. You didn’t earn those skins at all, you paid for them. Give us all a break.
Exactly how are we winning by your “pay2win” thoery? It is a skin, it has utterly no affect on improving gaming performance by any means.
This is a time sensitive game, and by that I mean if you weren’t there for the event, then too bad so sad. Heck, I sure would love to get my chance to shoot for an easy precursor on the lost shores event, but you know what, it’s not going to happen because it was a 1 time event. If you didn’t earn a skin yourself you should have bought it while it was dirt cheap. But it was in your stupidity, for whatever reason, not to. If you weren’t there for the event or time frame of buying those skins cheap, well that’s too bad. Veteran players earned that right to obtain those skins, whether it was through BLC or buying it cheap on TP. And please understand that they are still “AVAILABLE” to everyone through the TP. Gold is much easier to obtain as well, so it’s not much harder then it was for us veteran players to purchase those skins.
Plus don’t give us the “You didn’t earn those skins bs”. Some of us paid to buy keys, and how do people make money you ask? We work and we “EARN” that money. Some people used their gold to convert to gems to purchase keys, and how do people get gold to do that? Simple, they “EARNED” it through game play by whatever means. Some people simply bought it off the TP because they “EARNED” their gold, as I stated before. So please tell me how we did not earn to have the privileged of having these Halloween items?
Don’t go around calling people sore losers when in fact you are the sore loser, crying over split milk.
Skins are still there guys. You can get them right now.
Anet would make more money by not releasing them again. Period. Why? Gems>gold conversion due to the prices set by the players.
It would be illogical to release them again; specially when the store said they would be gone forever.
ANet doesn’t make any money on gem sales, those go straight to NCSoft.
Also, no it didn’t, and even if it did it doesn’t mean anything.
Great argument! Very constructive
The baseball card metaphor is dead on. You buy a bunch of packs hoping to get a rookie card and probably get a ton of doubles or cards you don’t want (tansformation tonics). If you don’t get a rookie card, you can go buy one directly for more money from the store. Down the road, if you go to buy that same rookie card it’s far more expensive but that doesn’t mean you get to demand that they re-issue the same card, in the same edition, just so you can get it for the cheaper price again.
Not everyone has the ability to get something when the only way to get it is random chance. It isn’t like these were special rewards for an event or contest. It was pure chance. If they were a reward for doing something I could accept them being unavailable, assuming the thing they were a reward for became unavailable.
Except this is completely inaccurate and doesn’t apply here since you can buy them on the TP and people have been doing so for the past year. The weapons have an established market value that people have been grinding to achieve based on the notion that they were a limited time offer.
SAB weapons were sell-able RNG weapons and they said they wouldn’t bring them back and effect value. The Jetpack was a limited-time, sell-able RNG item that they said they wouldn’t bring back and effect value/prestige. The halloween weapons are a sell-able RNG item and if they make is easily available (i.e. not 5 tickets) then they’re being completely misleading with their posts about protecting the prestige and value of limited time event items. They screw over anyone who just grinded 240 g to buy something based on statements regarding how they were going to treat such items.
Considering you got it because you were lucky and didn’t do any actual work for it everything you get no matter how low is profit.
Complete bullkitten. People have busted their kitten for the gold to buy expensive skins under the pretense that they would be treated like the SAB and jetpack sell-able exclusives.
what about jade weapons they completely screwed that one over rng wise they where a 250g item but then they ticketed them and they dropped to 25g. I also want to point out that winter day weapons came out as ticketed so we can probly expect Halloween weapons to fallow suit.
I want to point out to you that those “wintersday skins” and all of those other skins became available on the same day for tickets, all except for the halloween skins. So you tell me why that is.
Selfish entitled players want everything and don’t think it’s fair that prestige items exist that they can’t get. Except they can: the skins are still availble on the TP.
Oh the cost is too high? So it’s greedy selfish entitled players who are also misers. Nice.
I find that the greedy players are the one’s who ask for gated elite content.
It’s greedier to want something for cheap when other people have already busted their kitten to afford that same item. Currently, the only gate is how much effort you want to spend to get gold and if people want the skins to come back so that they have to work less at that than the new people who have just dropped 250+g for the skins over the summer, shame on their sense of entitlement.
I just think it’s wrong for people to DEMAND that these awesome items remain exclusive to last years event.
I just think it’s wrong for people to DEMAND that these awesome items come back so that they can get them cheaper than what the going rate the players have been paying is.
It’s good business for old gem store skins to come back at a reduced price.
They would probably lose more business from players, for numerous reasons, then profit from doing that.
Bull, does not make any sense at all!
Gem store skins was never for prestige. That is why Anet made legendaries.
It does make sense, let me explain. If for some reason they do re-release the skins, the probability of a large group of people will quit. Why do I say this? 1. Because it was stated to be “gone forever” on the gem store during the last few days of the event. 2. Because there are people who have spent countless hours farming keys to obtain those skins, and will feel like they’ve been cheated. 3. Because there are a large amount of players who have spent large sums of money on BLC for those skins, and will feel like they’ve been cheated. 4. Some people play solely for the purpose of the market or being a collector. A great example of this would be Runescape’s partyhats, and many of their other discontinued items.
Lets just say they re-release the skins in the gem store. About 1000 players just quit, just an estimate, because of the terrible decision to release the skins again. About 300 people (being very generous with the estimate) will probably purchase it with real money, because like I said before, a majority of players already own at-least one of the Halloween skins. The majority of people who do not own one will purchase it with coin to gem conversion, leaving Anet with minimal profit. And because of the re-release of skins, people will automatically lose interest in buying any future skins because it will always be available to EVERYONE, hence leaving minimal sales to the “new” skins.
So now Anet is down many veteran players, loss of interest for sales by a mass majority of people, and loss of interest by potential new players who want to play solely to own a discontinued item for whatever reason.
Please tell me how this is good for business.
Hopefully you’ll be able to shoot out laser beams out of the eye slots on command, like cyclops in x-men.

If you were smart you would know that in gw1 polar bear minipets, or any rare minipet in that matter, did not return year after year. They were extremely rare and based on RNG farming, quite similar to the Halloween skins, where people would farm for keys to get the skins. Not everyone had the pleasure to enjoy a miniature vizu, island guardian, panda, grawl, zhed, etc. So on that base, I can safely presume that Anet will not be releasing these again.
Plus, if Guild Wars 2 wants to stay on top of their game I highly doubt that they will be re-releasing the same content year after year. Their main income is based purely on gem store sales and majority of players already have the skins. So you do the math big boy, because I’m sure their profit margin is much higher with new skins.
P.S. by the sounds of it, you sound exactly like one of those poor souls that didn’t get a skin during the event, so quit lying and complaining. Thanks.
Did you even play Guild Wars 1? Because it sounds like you never did, and if you did you didn’t have enough experience to get close to the miniature market. The only 1 you got halfway right was the Mini Polar Bear and you didn’t need to farm “keys” to get that you just had to run a “dungeon” during wintersday over and over and hope to get that .00001% drop. The other minis you listed came from different PVP championships, contests and other promotional deals. Which means they have nothing to do with a holiday event.(FYI they brought back half of those in the 7th Year B-day presents also meaning they re-released them)
Edit: Should have kept reading because TehPwnerer tells you the same thing right after your post.
You must have misread my message. I stated that people had to farm “keys” for the Halloween items, not the miniature polar bear. As for the other miniatures, I was referring to the exclusiveness of each miniature for each contest. Think of the contests as holiday events. I’m sure nobody would give a kitten if they kept releasing the same miniature for every contest. FYI, they released the polar bear as birthday presents right after they released GW2. GW1 is dead.
And yes I have played GW1. I have a GWAMM title on one account and 41/50 on this.
EDIT: And btw, I have a polar bear, grawl, and ghostly hero mini dedicated in my hall of monument. So to answer your statement, I have played a fair share in the miniature market.

No offense but I hope to god they do NOT come back EVER… These should be something that people who have been around since the beginning have a priviledge of owning. They can go ahead and make new weapons but I will be EXTREMELY kittened off if they bring these back…
I’ve played every beta, played since 3 day head start, own these weapons, and disagree with you. These are holiday, festive items that took no skill to acquire in the first place.
All of these things required a ridiculous amount of gold and luck – that’s all. They’ve also completely redone the way items are awarded in-game (We’ve come a long way since throwing holiday items in BLC).
I for one disagree with you that these should not return simply because they originally took no skill or effort to get last year. Just luck or gold. Not sure why you’d be kitten ed off that items are returning for others to enjoy, but based on this (and every other thread I’ve seen you in this sub-forum) it seems that you are just an elitist.
Edit: To be clear I have tons of gold and have sold tons of precursors so buying these items would be no skin off my back. I just think it’s wrong for people to DEMAND that these awesome items remain exclusive to last years event.
Ever play GW1? Every item reward except for the festival hats returned year after year for Halloween and Christmas events so I’m going to suggest you get used to the idea that these items are not supposed to be hundreds of gold and beyond, nor should they be something that not everyone can enjoy.

I’m not complaining. I’m also “Smart enough” being a GWAMM and having 50/50 (paid for by selling the mini polar bear I farmed for and eventually got – which was available as a drop every Wintersday) I can assure you that you know nothing about what you claim to know about.
I too am a GWAMM on my other account.
I do believe I know more then you regarding the minatures. Polar bears were not available every Wintersday, I am more then happy to show you all my rare miniature collection in GW1, including my polar bear. Not like you would have any proof.
I think im one of the few people who’ve kept their mad king chests. Still got 7

true story
Saying, I got it when it first happened so you shouldn’t be able to get it again is elitist. Period. It isn’t a question of ANets design choices, the direction they choose to go, nor what they mean by limited and prestigious. It’s telling someone that since they missed it they should not be given the opportunity to get it. Everyone should get the opportunity, that doesn’t mean they will, but the default attitude of saying no I don’t want you to have what I have is what is elitist.
Then buy it like everyone else has this past year, they’re still on the TP. If you want it to be rereleased so that it becomes cheaper than the price that new players have been grinding for the past few months then that’s just as much an over-inflated sense of entitlement as wanting no one to have is a sense of elitism.
If it comes back at all, it should cost 5+ BLC tickets like the other rare chest skins.
You have a very odd sense of reality. But I could definitely care less what happens to prices on the trading post. It’s already a ridiculously over inflated waste of space.
I think you’re the one that has a very odd sense of reality. All your arguments are invalid; it’s like watching a grown boy crying over split milk.
We’ll if Anet was smart, they would realize that making the previous Halloween skins unavailable will give people more incentive to play the game. Plus, with the hyped up Halloween event coming, I’m sure that Anet sees the potential profit they could make with the gem and coin conversion for those ever so dear skins.

We all know thieves for their outrageous damage, annoying perma stealth and being one of the best mobile classes in the game. Not much has been done to deter this problem and because of this, wvwvw is now infested with thieves. However, the main problem lies within abusing this power.
For the past few days I have noticed that all our world’s keeps have been consistently contested, 24/7. Thieves have been taking advantage of the fact that they can disengage many dire situations, whether it be a small group of people or even a zerg and using it to cause grief to our whole world; just from one person. The other day it took 20+ guildmates, and 30+ minutes, surrounding the whole overlook keep to identify the location and dispose of the one thief; and only to have him come back a few moments later.
This absurd tactic have been preventing many potential gains that our server could have had and causing many time crucial losses due to the time restrictions.
Something really needs to be done about this, whether they give invisibility a huge nerf like they did quickness, or do something about keeps, towers, etc being contested by a lone thief.
