This is kind of sad. Why is it not a priority to get this fixed? You guys at ANet should put as many resources into fixing completely gamebreaking bugs like these. It seems to me that a fix to this is easy as day unless you managed to spaghetti code all of this, which shouldn’t happen in the first place.
I hope you realize that this isn’t some bug like a cow walking backwards, this is serious stuff and everyone clearly demands it fixed, since it’s literally a progression block that nobody can get around. I want to play Heart of Thorns too, but my interest in the game is quickly fading by not being able to actually play the game’s main selling point.
