Guild Wars 2

It’s funny how people who want to sell by mail ask you to trust them, when they refuse to trust you to send the gold after the item is received. Not that I would ever trade by mail. I trust no one, not even my kids when they want to explore on my account. So bought them their own.

@Healix, I noticed I would occasionally get the extra whack on a tree. So I think you’re right. It is the only thing I can think of at this time that would explain it. It’s discouraging if Anet did this. Not completely shocking though.

Healix.5819:

Without boosters, the additional chance at gathering is a bonus from WvW, which will vary depending on how well your server is doing. Mouse over the WvW icon on the top left to check.

Nodes do have a kind of DR, but it causes all nodes in the surrounding area to vanish.

I had considered that as well. I am on JQ. They are doing well.

Also, the alt account I logged onto is on JQ and it was getting bonus cuts. Just my main account was not.

DeanBB.4268:

Could it be:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Diminishing_returns

I had considered that, I could not find any thread/comments regarding diminished returns on node farming. In fact, back when seaweed was a good farm I did the same thing. Never had diminished returns on that.
I also moved 9 toons out for a week. That didn’t help those 9 at all. I then went 3 days thinking it would reset if it was diminished returns. That did not help either. According to that link, it does reset after a set time, I would think 3 days would be enough, maybe not.

Only thing I can think of is it is somehow diminished returns and this statement is what makes me assume that. ""ArenaNet has never shared the precise details of how diminishing returns is implemented in Guild Wars 2""

Also regarding DR, according to that link these are the only things affected by DR.

Affected activities

Dungeons, in which the completion rewards for an account are cut severely after the first run for each path.
Open world:
Dynamic events, in which the completion rewards are reduced for a given character after clearing or failing a total of 10 events.
Loot from enemies, in which foes tend to drop less loot of progressively lower quality, for a character remaining in the same area for long periods of time.

Somewhat reluctant to post this because I prefer not to hear the usual. Get a life, get some sun, get some fresh air, get a job ect. I have a life it’s called 2nd life, Sit by the east window for sun and have an air purifier. Also have a job. And btw, if your reading this, chances are you spend a lot of time in game/forums so……

My situation, I farm the winterberries daily, I farm 9 of the groups, takes 3 mins per toon and run 69 toons through the farm daily. When I first started I noticed we would get bonus cuts from time to time. Also noticed, if you get a bonus cut to show up, you must cut from the same node to get it, if you move to the other node before getting the bonus cut the bonus cut will disappear.

My problem, after a few weeks with getting at least 1-4 bonus cuts per 9 groups, I started getting zero. Now that is zero bonus cuts from 69 toons farming 9 nodes each or 621 groups total for the day. This has continued since they nerfed the farm. basically I have farmed 4347 groups or 8694 cuts per week with absolutely zero bonus cuts. At first I thought oh they nerfed the bonus cuts as well. Wanted to double check so logged on an alt account today, ran a few toons through the farm and noticed I was getting 1-4 bonus cuts on that account.

All buffs are the same from when I first started farming until now. Nothing in that regard has changed.

I moved 9 toons out to farm trees for a week in Malchors then moved them back today still zero bonus cuts on those as well.

My question is, has anyone else experience zero bonus cuts? Or does anyone know why/what I am doing wrong? Does Anet allot us a set amount of berry bonus cuts per account/life? I’m really curious, since the nerf on unbound magic and now the “no bonus cuts for you!” It’s hard to stay motivated on the farm. Any insight would be appreciated.

Oh, also went 3 days without farming any berries to see if that would reset it, it certainly did not. Still zero bonus cuts.

LOL sweet little child I never thought there was a conspiracy, you just made that up in your head to make yourself feel better about your post.
I have an idea because obviously you haven’t looked. Try glancing at the lfg once in awhile and see how many are charging for raids.

I know how much is being charged for raids because I am one of the ones charging for them.

CindyKa.6137:

Point out one thing I said that is a lie, false or will never happen. You can’t because you know how it would make you look.

If you’re going to comment on my post at least address the remarks I made in the manner in which I made them. And stop making up stuff in your head then falsely saying I said something different.

CindyKa.6137:

One thing is certain, keeping LI at 150 will make raiding the biggest cash cow to come into the game for pro raid guilds. And they are 100% aware of this, it is why the majority want to keep it at 150.

This was the only part of your post that I addressed at all, and this is wrong. Suggesting that people who are selling raids “want to keep it at 150” so they can make money is completely wrong and is frankly insulting.

LOL oh now it’s insulting to speak the truth??? If you think for one second many who charge for raids do not like the idea of the number needed for armor to be high you are very wrong.

Maybe you don’t but you are only fooling yourself if you think that applies to everyone charging for raids.

So no NOTHING I said is false.

Right well then kindly point of this “majority” that “wants to keep it at 150” to support their cash cow and I’ll agree with you. I haven’t seen anyone say that, you are just assuming things. It’s probably true that some people would like it to stay at 150 so they could sell raids for a longer time, but there is nothing to suggest that in this thread. You saying things like “they know this and want to keep it this way” is meaningless since those people aren’t actually doing anything to try to keep anet from changing it. I made that illuminati comment before because the whole tone of your comment was consiracy-ish, it still is tbh, “now it’s insulting to speak the truth???” give me a break lol. It’s nice that we get to make more money selling to rich people who want insights, but suggesting that we want it to stay at 150 so we can make money and dgaf about anything else is pretty disingenuous.

If anything the people I have talked to that sell raids think that the 150 requirement is too high, just like I do, because it’s a ridiculous time commitment. But really most people in that position just don’t care.

You are so predictable. I knew without a doubt you would come back with the whole “prove it” remark. You know full well it cannot be proven NOR disproved. Talk about being disingenuous. Actually I only heard one person comment about it in map chat. And yes I know that’s not a majority.

In a game where gold or items have value. Then acquisition of such takes precedent, to some above generosity, compassion and even willingness to help others without personal gain unto themselves. Even more so when anonymity is involved. Typical human behavior.
If I sounded like I was being disrespectful to those I believe who exercised there right to take advantage of the system. Then I was wrong on that. I thought I was merely saying it does exist.

You are correct, I shouldn’t have used the word majority. Fact is I have no idea how many there are and fact is neither do you.

It sounds like you have already convinced yourself that
A. No one wants LI to be high to take advantage of others.
B. There is not a group of people who will use this to their advantage of others.
C.. Legendary armor is prestigious yet it maintains its prestige even when purchased.

I used no and not above because at first you said probably some, then further down you attempt to imply none.
None of which I agree with. No need to respond to this, we are done discussing it as far as I’m concerned. At this point all I can do is agree to disagree.

i did not open the thread, just share my opinions on it.we have people that think that there own opinion is more important than others and would try to discourage others from posting in an attempt to make theres more valid.hence threads go off topic and get closed.sad

When you post your opinion on the internet, be ready to receive criticism. you might have not opened this thread, but you are one of the most active people here, therefore most of the comments are directed towards you.

You people amaze me again every time, from all the things posted you always take one bad thing and just focus on it. I said I had 100 LI one time (!) here, suddenly there’s a new category of bad guys: “Those who have 100 LI”, how long are you going to keep using that number?
I actually lied guys, I don’t have 100 LI. The real number is 255 Legendary Insights of Penetration (it’s a more advanced type of LI, harder to get), proof in picture.
And I think this should be the minimum for legendary armor! hopefully Anet will understand that too and raise the number!

CindyKa.6137:

One thing is certain, keeping LI at 150 will make raiding the biggest cash cow to come into the game for pro raid guilds. And they are 100% aware of this, it is why the majority want to keep it at 150.

First they say, "if you want legendary armor earn it, do raids.
OR the same people will say
If you want legendary armor you don’t need to earn, just pay me and I will earn it for you. Some of you are nothing but hypocrites in every sense of the word.

Guys, he’s on to us!
Abort!

It would be she, hence Cindy.

BTW I could care less if it was 150 10 or 500 my point was, those who argue to keep it high will be the same ones selling runs. On one hand you say only raiders should have this armor then on other you say 400g wing 1/2/3 or w/e prices is the going rate for that day. If you weren’t able to figure that out maybe with this comment you will understand.

If people were serious in their intent to keeping this a prestigious a raid armor. You would for certain be begging anet to make paying/charging for runs bannable. Since no one has it really has nothing to do with prestige. And more about how much gold can be made. If even one LI is paid for the armor has lost any chance of being prestigious. It’s no longer earned but bought. Visa or Master Card does not equal skill.

One thing is certain, keeping LI at 150 will make raiding the biggest cash cow to come into the game for pro raid guilds. And they are 100% aware of this, it is why the majority want to keep it at 150.

OP is always trying to do things like this to make a hot topic. OP if you were genuinely serious about your intent of representing people who are hurting. How about we represent missing and exploited children who are beaten, killed, kitten d every single day? Haven’t seen you mention one thing about representing them. Are they that much less to you than LGBT?
I say your post is nothing more to get attention. Because if you were serious you would have been posting to represent many other groups who suffer everyday. Maybe I’m wrong maybe the LGBT is the only group you care about and all the other groups who suffer every single day simply don’t matter to you.

It was never about people catching up. For those who remember it was about those at the top of the leader board coming on forums everyday crying how Anet is forcing them to farm AP 25 hours a day and they couldn’t enjoy the game because Anet was holding them hostage and demanding they do the dailies or else.

And yes the word FORCED to do dailies was used 100’s of times.

Deepcuts.9740:

Most people in DS do not even join the squads, even if told several times.
The reason why eludes me as they mostly do not even answer or seem to read map chat, making me think some people are just plain dumb when it comes to organized PvE play.

I heard reasons such as: I will crash more if I join a squad! leave me be.

What people do not realize is that squads in DS are needed so we can evaluate how many people are in each lane. If one lane has too many people, a commander can relocate some to other lanes.

So i guess, the reason for a failed DS because of just one lane is: people do not read map chat at all. When the entire map complained in chat about a commander and those in the mentioned lane STILL followed him, the blame is on the entire lane not on the trolling commander.

Sheep will be sheep.

This is a good example of why so many won’t bother reading map chat or join a squad.

A good commander will be respectful and knows how to rally people to what ever the cause is. A bad commander stands around and calls people dumb and things like sheep. Let me guess, people ignore you.

CindyKa.6137:

Every player getting the same amount of keys as each player in the group I am unsure of. Reason why, every time I do the 4 gate events during the challenge events. The amount of keys I get can vary and sometimes a lot. Now if the number rewarded is random and everyone participating is given the same random number then yeah all is equal. And yes I was also talking about map hopping when farming chest not for events. I can get enough keys from the events I mentioned and by exchanging the map currency gained from those events and from the grand chest. I have plenty of keys to just farm grand. When I start farming the great chest as well I run out pretty quick though.

Each outpost chain events have a diferent amount of rewards. Some give way more keys, some give way more aurillium, that can be used to buy more keys. By only events itself you don’t get enough keys for 3+ maps (1 and a half if you loot everything), but you will be hoarded with currency to buy and/or stock more keys.

The 12 keys from the daily chest are lets say “overkill”. You don’t need it, yet you will choose it since the other options are really meh.

I’m not talking about outpost chain events at all. I said during the challenges stage there is an event that requires people to kill 9 waves. It just so happens that event will spawn at the same time at every gate. A person is able to tag a wave at one gate and waypoint to the next gate. Tag a wave in that event and so on until they have done all 4 gates. This will give them rewards which in part consist of keys and aurillium. I have earned on average 12-15 keys excluding the aurillium I will exchange for more keys. (the most from those 4 events was 22 keys excluding the aurillium) doing that and it takes about 5 minutes. Now we also get the vet vinewrath events that spawn during the challenge events, usually 1-3 if a person can catch them just right.

Now adding the rewards from being able to tag all four events that spawn during the challenges stage with the rewards from vet vinewraths with the keys and aurillium from breaking the gate with the keys and aurillium from doing the actual meta, then only farming Grand chest. And earning even more aurillium for keys. Between the keys from the events I said, and exchanging aurillium for more keys I absolutely get enough keys to run the Grand chest on multiple maps. Been doing it for weeks up to 3-4 times a day. And still have more aurillium than what I started with. Now if I farm the Great chest and Grand chest I will not make enough to do what you said. But I’m fine with running 3-5 maps of just Grand Chest.

It doesn’t really matter since there’s a built in limit to chest loot, and that limit is keys. The contents of those chests aren’t balanced around time spent to complete the meta. They’re balanced arount time spent to acquire those keys, which is constant. No matter how many alts you have you won’t acquire keys any faster than someone who only plays one character.

I agree we use keys much faster than we can chest farm. I did find a way to help get a few extra in about 5 min or less for those who get to AB meta late. The lowest I got was 12 keys, the highest I got was 22 from doing this. I usually make it right before challenges start if I’m leaving TD meta. The way I get the extra keys is during the challenge events in AB there is an event that spawns at the gate where you need to kill 9 waves. This event takes place at every gate at the same time. Kill one wave and wp to the next gate kill another wave and so on until you do all 4. You will get reward/keys for all 4 events. If you get lucky you can get the occasional vet vinewrath for additional map participation. Doing just those I can gain about 150-175% map participation, anywhere from 12-20+ keys (usually 12-15 avg.) and a little extra map currency to help buy more keys.
Still not enough keys for as many chest as we can farm but hey every key helps. So not sure why all the fuss.

Maybe everyone has been doing this all along and I’m just late to the party, I don’t know.

So basically what we’re saying here is – in approx 20 minutes, you’ve earned enough Keys for ~15-25 rares + all the other loot in the chests. Can nobody see the problem with that? The loot/effort ratio is WAY too high – it shifts wealth faster than any other method.

The op was about map hoping and opening the chests in more than one map per meta.
Map hoping itself does not give you access to more keys.
A player can play events that award keys only in one map at a time,(unless they are multi boxing characters on different maps,but that is another matter and if I’m not wrong not even allowed),so by the end of the meta they will have exactly the same keys as any other player that played the same events and for the same amount of time as them.
With map hoping all you really do is spend your keys faster.

As for the loot,I earn just as much and even more rares in VB and TD,so I don’t see the big deal.
If anything,the recent changes and increases in keys earned form events in AB brought that map up to the same level as the other Maguma maps.

Every player getting the same amount of keys as each player in the group I am unsure of. Reason why, every time I do the 4 gate events during the challenge events. The amount of keys I get can vary and sometimes a lot. Now if the number rewarded is random and everyone participating is given the same random number then yeah all is equal.

Ummm yeah that’s basically what I’m saying and nope don’t see a problem with it anymore. At first I did, but I was mistaken. Effort?? hey I have to help kill at least one wave in each event to make this work. Only Anet knows if there is a problem here and until they say otherwise. Wheres my running shoes it’s almost Octo time.

Oh parking multiple toons there and hitting the big chest over and over on different maps and different toons. That’s what I was doing wrong. I was wondering how people were able to make 40g an hour. Thanks for the tip.

imo to say skills should be identical in pve and pvp is pretty much saying they are the same mode of game play. Encounters are the same, fights are the same ect. Surely Anet doesn’t believe that.

Kasteros.9847:

Emmm OP… Do u know who buys most gems for REAL money? PvPers and WvWers… So is is obvious that they will balance game for those players. PvE is just farm and grind so even with nerfs it is still over easy to kill NPC xDDDDD
Just deal with it for some time, like we(WvWers) did with kittenton of sPvP balance that affected WvW and fight for over a year till they bring it back( like we did with stabillity ^^). But… The problem is that PvErs don’t bring em as much money as PvPers do so… 0,001% chance
As for why PvErs bring em less money answer is simple: They farm gold, while competitive players don’t, so the only way for them is to buy gems with real money

Do some research. Spouting off like this with zero data to support it says a lot about you. Post a link any reputable link will do.

@coso, you keep asking the same or making the same comments over and over wanting an answered. Many have and imo this is the best one by Envy:“The problem is that you want to include a trans NPC, instead of an NPC who just happens to be trans.”
it might be hard for you to understand but those are two different things."

The thing is there is 2 sides to every coin yet you refuse to even pick up the coin to see the other side to know it exist.

I for one and from what it appears the majority doesn’t care one wit if there is a gay straight or trans character in the game. What I care about is not to single out someone or point out "hey look at that npc they are transgender and because of that it makes them special. Every gay person I know doesn’t stand on the rooftop saying pick me pick me pick me, I’m the best because I’m gay. Instead they are saying pick me pick me pick me because I’m the best player on the field.

A persons station in life is not based on their sexual identity it is based on accomplishments their contributions to society. I would be extremely offended if someone pointed out my accomplishments and contributions to to society only have merit because I’m gay. And that is exactly what I get when reading your comments.

Edit, oh that and your obvious disdain for anyone who doesn’t agree with you.

Why should someones sexual orientation be the center point of a story? Wouldn’t that be doing the exact opposite of what LGBT community wants? Which is singling out a person based on their sexual orientation.

I believe the love a person has for another regardless of same sex or not is a natural thing. Why make a story focus on a natural thing? To me that is like making a big deal about what a persons favorite color is. Instead make the story about a persons contributions to Tyria or their accomplishments.

op don’t you have a tree that needs your love and hugs somewhere? Good grief GW is not a place for any religion. And it doesn’t revolve around you and your beliefs either. But your liberal brain can’t see the double standard you have. First as mentioned you hate religion now you don’t. So which is it?

nonsense to say it’s a scam. I knew exactly what I was getting when purchased. To say it’s misleading is entirely on you for not paying attention.

The alcohol is no more real than your characters magic powers.

comments/opinions in map char are of supreme indifference to me as I am sure mine are to others. Which is why I haven’t bothered to turn it on in over 2 years. On rare occasions I will get a pm or mail with a hateful comment. I don’t bother to respond just block and move on. I mean why do you even care what others you didn’t know existed until that very moment have to say.

""No, just git gud or go home, wanna be a casual? Go play dungeons, raids are for the big boys!""
Seen many post from you about dungeons. So I guess you were a causal then and just recently became a “big boy”
Unless your use of “big boy” is an attempt at hiding being insults towards others hoping to conceal something about yourself. Then by all means you may continue, for some people that is all they have.

And where/what is the source of energy to maintain flight. It’s called a glider for a reason.

@Tironas.7053 if what you say is true. Then why aren’t you a better player by now? You really have no clue. This is a game anonymity is a griefers best friend. Scream at them and most will do the opposite. Your comment is clear no one ever yelled at you about being a decent human, if what you say is true lol.

@rich, tested your idea about maybe different maps so I fired up the other pc to make sure both accounts were on the same map. One hour of farming drytop one account made 1,473,112 exp. Next hour ran the other account that one made 500,735 I was running same profession same build same gear same booster. The account I farm the most actually made almost 3 times the experience than the account I farm the least on. I am a farmer of pretty much anything, have been for 10+ years in various mmo’s I could not have duplicated my actions any nearer to each that what I did on each account. Yet the end results are vastly different. So yes indeed there is a problem.

Wanted to say 2 days ago when I was farming exp all day. My character stayed on the same map. Never left not logged out. Yet every single mite farm I was gaining huge amounts of bonus exp. So it wasn’t leaving the map. I did think its possible different maps may act differently which is why I made sure both accounts where on the same map/ip. I’m puzzled to say the least. Thankfully this account is more about storage and something the kids play on.

@ rich, Yes I agree with that and understand. However this problem has been consistent for 4 days. I could see that being the issue if it was a hit and miss thing. Yet its been the same every single time. It’s the same way on any map. One account gets a great deal of bonus for kills the other account doing the same things gets zero bonus for kills. Ive tested this all of Tyria and its the same thing.

Would also like to say if what you say is what is happening then the one account that gains a ton of bonus would eventually fall into the zero bonus group. However one account never fails to get bonus after bonus on kills when the other account never gets any bonus at all on anything.

@Hiemskarl

“99.9% of people who complain of DR have not been affected by DR. Do a search on it, it is explained quite well on the forums.”

This may be true but there is certainly a problem, Running and working mastery on 2 accounts I run the exact same buffs, on one account I’m getting bonus on average of 800 or so, on the other account as stated with the exact same buffs. Doing the exact same thing I am getting zero bonus on any kill. Not one time do I see a bonus on the other account doing the mite farm during storm. On the other account I’m constantly seeing bonus given. So yeah there certainly is a problem, no idea what it is.

Also wanted to say, I’m running the exact same profession with the exact same gear with the exact same build. When one account gains more than 3 time the other account gains in the same amount of time. Something isn’t right.

I did apply the exp buffs in a different order. That is the only difference there is.

Only a fool would believe Anet intended or desired people to use a broken dungeon to level the mastery lines. I understand some people feel they have no choice. I’m only at level 42 I earned this without abusing the game. I did not go in one dungeon or abuse any endless spawn. What annoys me greatly is people are pm’ing me accusing me of using an exploit when that is 100% completely false. I wish there was a way Anet would distinguish those who earned their mastery lines legitimately by playing the game as intended and those who abused a broken dungeon. And those who want to whine about this request, what in the world are you doing on the forums shouldn’t you be exploiting an endless spawn somewhere aren’t you afraid someone may get ahead of you?

Having problems with skins obtained before update not being applied to collection. Have 9 and it is only showing one. Logged onto every character that had one equipped even used the items still will not sure up in collections.

Ravion Hawk, it would have been awesome had we got one point per character. I have 26 with 100% and 10 at 99% waiting for HoT before I finish them. But I got to thinking. I enjoy leveling alts and doing map completion. Would spend several hours a day on that pretty much every day. However there are people who don’t enjoy that yet they spend as much time doing dungeons or whatever. Since there are people who put in equal or more time than I, their time is no less valuable. So if I was rewarded for my time they should be as well. I can see why anet made this call.

Ayrilana, thank you for the response.

I seen somewhere months ago we will get a mastery point for map completion retroactively. My question is, will it be one point for 100% map completion in total regardless how many times its been done or will we get a point each character that gets 100% map?

“I should be able to make just as much money as someone playing PvE or WvW. Full Stop.”

Agree with this comment completely and while giving pvp the ability to make as much gold as pve.
Pve players upon character creation should have access to full sets of exotic armor, access to exotic trinkets and unlimited sigils and runes. All for free of course

Only reason you want it to be this way is so your shards will be worth more on the trading post.

SW chest farming and map hopping for breach/VW is fine an all. But gold per hour it is hardly but a moonlit shadow compared to the effort/rewards needed farming ToT bags in Bloodtide Coast. If Anet is fine with ToT farming why in the world would they care about something that gives less like SW

Was wondering if more than one account can be tied to the same cell number?

Reading a QQing thread like this just makes me feel sorry for Anet. Your words

“The word WEEKEND isn’t capitalized n their site” are you serious? So a word must be capitalized in order for you to have a basic grasp of its meaning?

But hey it made for a fun read.

You have got to be kidding. You knew after the first pull of the lever what was going on. In you own words you said you knew there would be a different return and you hope it would be for the best. Now yoru QQing over your inability to control yourself. And want to blame someone but yourself. Sad

Thank you Rapthorne. I checked it and that is it.

I noticed some people have what appears to be standing on a blue aura of some kinds. I asked in LA no ones answered. Was wondering if anyone know what that is.

Illconcieved Was Na, I don’t know anything about client/serves all I know is this is day 3 of fireheart rise shenanigans. I have log out, log in, completely shut down completely restarted my pc many many times to no avail. Played the game for almost 3 years now with nothing happening like this.

Reason I dont think it is on my end. I had a few toons I left on the back burner for a year decide to finish mapping them, Was able to do about 70% map on all 3 and no problem until I got to fireheart. For me it is only in fireheart I have this problem.

OpieOP, I see your point. I have always thought about how food makes things unbalanced. But as far as not having an advantage. I think I would accept your disagreement if I would see every hardcore wvw’er come on forums and beg for a change in how uplevels are screwed and for ANet to auto gear them for equal gear to what they have like s/tpvp. Because it is unfair to them as it stands. But the hardcore wvw’ers don’t seem to mind that being unbalanced. They and rightfully so imo believe the gear they have "earned’ should be better than the gear up levels or newer players have not earn.

I’m not saying you, just some of the post I’ve read it’s pretty clear some people love to stomp uplevels or less geared people. They only complain when they are on the receiving end. Which is why I take wvw’ers complaints about balance with a grain of salt.

Altair, I love the change and for this reason alone I will be working on earning a set. Finally a reason to make one. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is mine.

Over and over I’ve seen people complain about how hard it is to get a set of ascended armor. Then they turn right around and say weeeellllll for those who do, they should not be rewarded for their work. They should not be rewarded for putting in considerable more time than me. I should be equal to them in every way even though I don’t want to spend as much time playing to acquire this set of armor.

This must be true, because the same people crying now are the same ones who said before ascended armor was simply not worth it. Now that it will be it’s just not fair.

For the record I do not own a set of that armor. I have squandered all my resources to get pretty weapons and pretty clothes. But I do not feel so entitled to think those who spent their time and money wisely on better gear shouldn’t deserve it. It seems to me some of you are just bitter because you didn’t plan ahead. I didn’t and now it looks like I will be paying for it. But instead of whining on forums I will get back to the game and start working on one.

To OP, sorry for your lose. Hope Anet allows you to put a monument in your Guild Hall. In your time of grief. I do not understand why you waste time responding to certain posters whose opinions are obviously less important to you than the big kitten you flushed down the toilet in the morning. To the son, I know what it’s like losing a parent. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

It would seem odd to pay for an expansion we would be unable to play unless we bought additional slots from the store.

Interesting for someone who enjoys being in the top 10 you have complained more than anyone on the forums about having to farm those points. :p
