Guild Wars 2

Seems fixed now for me too.

I actually had a call from EE yesterday (having previously provided my number to a poster here) asking me ‘if I was having any issues’ . So I think, whatever people did… it worked.

Great job.

On the plated weapons, what’s that fourth currency, I don’t recognise it?

Sent landline number!

Changing the ports has given me no improvement.

I’ve tried both -clientport 80 and 443

And yet, the timing of the slow down it seems pretty clear that this is a consequence of EE’s traffic shaping policy. And yet, that policy states that EE Prioritise Game traffic at peak times over P2P and streaming.

I and wondering if anything was changed post BWE3 in terms of netcode that might lead to this problem?

I mean I realise, really, this is a problem for EE to sort out. But getting in touch with an actual engineer at an ISP and not a call centre person or a forum ‘expert’ is like banging your head against a brick wall.

Exact Same problem here. EE User in East Anglia.

hmm, but why is Shadow Friend worse then Bone Minons?

I have been playing around with something similar.

If you are going to go reaper, you probably want to take the new shout, Rise instead of Bone Minions.

I would then probably take Augury of Death over relentless assault.

Guys, Guys.

Years ago, I bought gold in World of Warcraft from an RMT group. Because back then, it really was a case of gold farmers playing the game day and night to grind gold, and sell it. That, back then, felt somewhat justified. I had money and no time, they had time and no money. It was against the rules, but I have never been one to follow rules for rules sake. And hey, I was keeping some Chinese guys in a job that was safe, warm and reasonably well paid.

I can get behind that idea a little bit, and I understand the people who feel like the RMT company’s might be a Robin Hood type character (With John Smith playing the roll of the Sheriff of Nottingham)

But, life isn’t like that any more. I don’t know if the traditional hand farming method cant turn a profit any more, or if the RMT company’s just got greedy. But the fact is, they arnt gold farmers any more, they are gold muggers. Were you guys not around at launch when 1000’s off accounts were subject to constant attempts at compromise from China. I cirtainly got emails saying “Somone in China has your password and wants to log in, should we let them” (I now use the mobile authenticator, you should too). When you buy gold from the BLTC, you have the privalage of knowing your gold did not come from someone elses misery. That’s principally why I dont buy from gold farmers, I’ts actually immoral.

@John/Anet in general Have you considered incentiviseing peaple to use the excellent mobile authenticator? Free Mini pet or item skin? (I realise, haveing to bribe peaple to help themselves seems stupid) If you stop the account theft, they would have to go back to hand farming, which is less profitable, and RMT prices would rise to something near partiy with BLTC anyway.
