Just implement solo queue/team queue and I might go back to playing PvP again. It was all I played from launch, got to rank 30 in the first few months (since that time I have gone up 2 ranks..) but as everyone got bored and left due to the lack of support I no longer have a team or a consistent group of friends online to play with. There is no point playing against a pre-made team who are in voice chat, the advantage is so significant.

This album shows my trading post items I have sold, the profit I am able to pick up and the Vials of Powerful Blood listing for: 62 at 37s27c gone. I should have at least 19 gold to pick up but only have 1 gold, not to mention the fact that I sold pages of other items too yet no profit is being made.
I picked up the profit after seeing my items were continuing to sell with no impact on the funds I could pick up. This bug has cost me a lot of gold, I have submitted a support ticket and to anyone else with a similar problem I suggest you do the same, hopefully it gets resolved. I’ll edit the post with the outcome.
*Edit – Issue has been fixed, there was a backlog on the TP, make sure to pick up all your items from the TP and if this doesn’t fix it wait an extra 24 hours or so.
The above video shows 2 thieves from Desolation server somehow glitching into the seafarer’s rest spawnpoint on Vizunah Square Borderlands. I’m not sure how this was done although I was told by a player in map chat that it was done using the skill shadow refuge.
Just add in solo/duo queue and a queue for 5 man teams.
I just jumped back into PvP after taking a month hiatus, and nothing has changed. If you play free tourneys solo and get matched with 4 random team mates you will never win against a semi organised pre-made 5 man team. Just the lack of voice communication in-game makes it impossible to co-ordinate with a random team (save a few pings/target calls). The mini-map in this game does not give you much information especially compared to a game like LoL where playing with random team mates is easily done. From the mini-map you see where your team mates are, and from the party overlay you see their health. You can therefore determine if they are in a battle or not, however you cannot see who they are fighting with, how many they are fighting, if they need help etc. All these advantages belong to a 5 man pre-made, making any attempts to win by a solo-queue player complete in vain.
The lack of ladders and queue options is such a ridiculous oversight given the current competing esports titles and their functionality. I was really expecting so much more having put thousands of hours into GW1. Getting to the top 10 on the Hero Battles ladder and competing in various top 100 guilds I was hoping for a similar experience. However, myself and my friends from GW1 have not found that and it’s disappointing.
It’s much too loud and lasts far too long. With the chain sword I swing once and the sound goes on for at least 1.5 secs which is annoying and sounds ridiculous.
And my account is restored. Only took just over 24 hours, very fast and efficient. Good luck everyone I hope your ban is as painless and temporary as mine.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but a 24 hour exclusion from the game is not “painless”. It’s kind of annoying, especially when the person excluded has not done anything wrong and was looking forward to spending time with their mates.
It was painless for me because it occurred from 9PM to 11PM the next day. Between that time, I slept, went to lectures, did some work, played hockey and watched a film. If I had my account during that time I would have played for sure but being without it for a day was painless for me. I am just hoping that others have a similar experience to myself with this bad situation.

To those awaiting responses I would recommend re-logging every so often.
Although my account is still blocked/suspended the log-in error message has changed. I am no longer falsely accused of botting. Instead I am being informed that unauthorized access was made with my account. Although I don’t believe this to be the case as I have the e-mail authenticator and saw no changes to any of my characters or play time (shown with the command /age). I was not messaged by the support team on my support ticket regarding this log-in change but it does show progress and I’m sure the support team will help me out.
Was just playing WvW game disconnected, try to re-log and my account is terminated for ‘botting, extended unattended play, using macros, or similar behaviour.’ Needless to say I have not committed any of these offenses.
I want a response aswell and it makes me a bit apprehensive to play PvP right now knowing that those who went to the dungeon instance have this FoV change.
After fighting the Mad King (unfortunately solo) I mapped back to Lions Arch and my FoV was left much greater than the original size.
Travelling to The Heart Of The Mists the FoV remained the same, which of-course gives a person with this FoV a massive advantage in-game. I have not attempted to start a sPvP match because I do not wish to exploit this bug but I’m assuming other players may be playing with their FoV like this.
