Guild Wars 2

Well, i just went through all of this topic, and seeing that the issue started 10 months ago, had dozens of replies (not including other forums), and we still didn’t get anything.
I remember back in the day when i started playing GW2, basically the visual effects in combat was the reason i started playing this, yet i started the game and 2 months later they nerfed almost every effect and made them dull and just look kitten :S (i mean they still look good, but compared to the old effects.. nah)
I don’t understand why can’t we have an option on the options to choose the level of particle effects, combat visibility .. you name it. It would be like high: which is the old effects or normal, as they are right now.
or
like there is in many games already: make it so, that your effects, like the effects coming from your character are fully visible, and than the effects from other players are toned down like they are right now.
I dont’ know, are we asking for the stars here? I mean it’s not impossible to implement into the game.
Now, or course we (the player base) asked for these changes in the first place, but again, it could’ve been and it should’ve been an option.
I still hope we might get the old effects back in a way, like i still cry every time i do greatsword 5 on mesmer, or i see any aura or egg rather..
