Guild Wars 2

Exactly Zaxares.

As I said to this guy – there is no rule in the ToS, RoC or anything that forbids selling gem store items for ingame gold. It surely forbids selling stuff for real cash but that is obvious – every MMO forbids that. (btw, a while ago while I was searching info on ascended armors I found a forum purely based on illegal trade of MMO/Mobile MMO/Steam accounts….thousands of posts, thousands of users and probably thousands of scammers and thousands of banned traded accounts)

And he just kept insulting me and threatening me. Saying that I shall enjoy being banned etc etc. I wonder If he will get any word from Anet (when they will review chat logs they will se stuff)

Anyway – ofc there is scamming issue but that doesnt concern me. I am well aware that I would be in troubles after scamming sm1 – as I’ve seen some stuff around net scammers in this game are pretty often banned.
Also that guy said he used the “scamming report” also because he was totally sure that its not only illegall but that I’m also 100% a scammer. Not to mention how he yelled that any person that will buy stuff from me will also get banned

Thanks for your answer people Its a shame that I did not wrote down the guy nickname, I would surely send him an mail with link to this topic

Well I’ve already asked the question through support ticket so even if the thread will be buried I’ll get a word from Anet through mail

Also – person cant report all they want. In the report section there is a clear text that overusing report fuction can lead to investigation of reporting person

Well its not about we are trying cus I havent made a deal with anyone Im just asking

So as I digged and as ppl answered me – there is no illegal thing in buying some gem shop things for gold from another person. Eg the cost in gold will be lower, the person that buys will be happy (cus he would pay more for converting gold to gems) and the person selling will be happy (cus he would earn more for selling this item thatn for changing gems>gold directly)

Eg you buy 100 gems for 10 gold. You sell 100 gems for 5 gold. Sell 1000 gems – you got only 50 gold.

BUT – sell an item that costs 1000 gems to someone that will pay 80g for it – you get more than pure gems>gold exchange and the person will pay less than buying gems for himseflf by gold>gem exchange

Nothing shady, nothing scammy in this.

So rules dont forbid that. BUT I wonder if its really ok…well, maybe Anet doesnt mind it at all. I mean when they added gifting option to Gem shop, they knew that ppl will sell account bound items from shop for gold

Thanks for answers

Now the fun part – the guy reported me. He made a report as a Scamming. Keep telling me that this is illegal and I should enjoy getting permabanned

Anyway, he reported me so the mods will review chat log. And here comes the best part – in the chat log they will see that the guy insulted me

So its kinda like he reported himself

Thanks for answer Buttercup

You see, Im not selling gems right ? As Astral said me in this topic

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Gem-store-items-and-gold/first#post3959355

they are talking about real money transactions.

I’m not trying to sell gems to anyone ! I just have some spare of those. Its all about giving someone item from gem store in exchange for gold. Its all about ingame transactions, no real cash involved.

And about free version and access to gemstore – is there such thing in GW 2?

I wrote the topic in account issues but I guess it doesnt hurt to write it here also. And since the gem store is a part of Black Lion Trading…well, I’ll just copy-paste:

"

So, while ago a guy reported me for scamming, breaking the rules blablabla…I should report him for insulting but whatever

I’ve received a mail about shutting down my GW2 acc due to smth smth blablabla. Probably a scam mail (tho the adress was noreply@guildwars2.com or smth like that…but the link was totally suspicious)

Anyway, I’ve tried to login into site just to check if everything is ok. And I’ve discovered that you havent still fixed the login issue !!

Srlsy, how it can be ?

I try to log in, get an authorization email just to get “unknown authorization” msg on login site. And it happened 10 times in a row !!! At 11th try I finally managed to log in.

Furthermore, ofc logged state doesnt transfer into forum. After clicking “Forums” from my account page, I wasnt logged in. At least now it logged me in automatically after I’ve pressed “Log in” cus I remember that few months ago I had to Log in manually and ofc guess what – unknown authorization.

Can any staff member answer me whats the deal with it ? I’m not playing the game anymore (lack of updates with acutal content) but I might be back. And since the game and forum/website is already at least year old, it should work properly. Meanwhile I smell that the next time I’ll try to log in I will also get the “unknown authorization” bullshua.

Just to sum up – website cant recognize authorization or smth and it can give me “unknown authorization” msg (after clicking link in auth email) even up to 10 times. After that it finally accepts the auth but even then it cant keep me logged in when I try to go into any other page (like Forums) from my account page

Cheers

EDIT: BTW, dont tell me to contact support, I’ve already did few months ago and It didn’t told me much…just tell me whats wrong with this thing.

Also, I don’t know when I will be able to respond to any response in this topic…cus I dont know if the next time I’ll try to log in the website will let me in….

EDIT2: Sorry for my english..its not perfect but I hope u understand what I mean

Cool but buffing Ranger while pet is hidden has been already proposed by many ppl. Your idea of giving certain buffs while pet is on passive that are dependant on pet type is nice but…

…Anet doesnt care.

We have tons of good threads about how to fix Ranger. If at least 50% of those proposed changes would be implemented into game, Ranger could be turned into a class that is not inferior to the others.

Recently we’ve been told that pet mechanic probably wont be changed because their AI is same as wild creatures AI. Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Then kitten make pets AI different.

Simple things as allowing pet to attack while moving and removing this kittened F2 delay would make pets usefull in PvP for dealing damage. But since its not like that we suffer lets say 30% of damage output because of this stupid AI.

Ranger weapons are weak. Totally. We have two bows and as a ranged class none of them is better than any other ranged weapon for other classes.

Based on my thoughts and other nice threads about fixes.

-If pets cannot be reworked then allow Rangers to completly stow them for a 30% damage buff

-Rework Opening Strike. Minor 25 pts should be merged into minor 5 pts. Opening Strike gives you 100% chance to crit and applies vulerability for 5 sec. Move Remorseless major into 25 pts minor.

-Signet of Beastmaster 30 pts major should be removed and signets should apply to Ranger by default. If not, then it should be switched to 15 pts minor of Marksmanship and Alpha Training should be thrown into Beastmastery

-Trapper’s Defense 10 pts major is pretty much useless

-30 pts into Skirmishing is IMO bit too high for Trap Potency

Ranger traits are too heavily based on pets. I mean its ok for Beastmastery, maybe also for Nature Magic. But we have way too many good traits in first three trait lines that apply only to pet but not to Ranger

-Malicious Training 10 pts major doesnt fit into Marksmanship. It should be moved into Beastmastery or changed into new trait.

-Same for Carnivorous Appetite 20 pts major. It should be removed or should apply small healing to Ranger itself

-Same for Expertise Training 10 pts major

-Agility Training 10 pts major should increase the speed of both pet and Ranger by 10-15%

-Honed Axes 20 pts major should apply to both axe and sword

-Circle of Life 10 pts major – weak.

-Spirits Unbound will be moved into lower traits so its ok

-Nature Voice 30 pts major should also apply small buff to Ranger

-Compassion should be moved into Nature Magic but on the other hand Concentration doesnt fit into Beastmastery

-Rapid fire on LB shoud be totally reworked. As for now its the “burst” skill but due to its long channeling its totally unreliable. It can be easily interrupted or evaded. Either channeling time should be reduced or skill should be changed to smth like firing three arrows at selected target with dmg 3x 1500-2000 with a mechanic that would treat each arrow as independent attack and thus each arrow could deal critical damage while the attack itself would also apply same vulnerability

-Barrage works pretty much only on noobs that are staying in one place. IMO runeblade proposed good solution that will somehow allow to use this skill in more situatuions – Barrage shouldnt root Ranger in place

-Hunter’s Shot. If they added stealth to this skill and so made it the only stealth-apply weapon skill this one should at least apply 5 sec of stealth. Just a thought.

-Concussion Shot. I totally dont know why they designed this skill to apply stun only from side or behind. And its only 1 sec…Daze should be removed and it should always apply Stun even if attacking from front

-Poison Volley is bad. It requires the Ranger to be very close to the target to be effective.

-GS Slash and Slice should deal more dmg

-Swoop should apply evade

-Hilt bash – same as Concussion Shot. What am I, some kind of Thief that this and SB skill require me to be behind target ?

-Splitblade – same as Poison Volley

-Axe overall damage should be boosted

-Crippling Talon – I totally don’t know whats going on with this skill. It looks like it doesnt have 100% hit chance. Sometimes it will hit, sometimes it will not.

Ah well….I wonder if Devs will ever state that they are improving this class. As one guy in some topic said (cant find it now so I cant qoute it directly but it was smth like this) “What do you expect from players who plays Ranger from launch while its been year and the issues of this class are still present and when devs clearly state that this class is not even considered into improvement”

Peace, I’m off. Gotta do some WvW and check the Planetside 2 optimization improvement.

Bastionhawk – no, I don’t know Ranger class at all, I just randomly click 1-5 and randomly spend trait points….

Other classes get all attention from Anet. They are actually doing something with them. But not with Ranger. All they are doing is making this class even more and more messy. As wiki states, they didnt even knew what to do with this class when they were still making the game:

“At one point in development, according to The Making of Guild Wars 2 book, the ranger profession of the original Guild Wars was split into many different professions, notably the warden and the marksman. Eventually, with only marksman remaining, who only possessed only the aspect of ranged weaponry, was combined with already scrapped elements of warden and beastmaster, and renamed the result as ranger for the sake of the original series. "

Devs dont respond to any threads because they either dont care or they dont want to admit that they screwed up with this class.

It’s been a long time and nothing changed, we are still inferior to all other classes.

Ariete – heh, as I said – inb4 “l2p”

No its not me. It would be me if I would look up on various Ranger threads and see that ppl dont have any problems. But its not like that. Its not me – its the profession.

I know the truth and yes, I cant handle it. I cant handle that Ranger is constantly nerfed or more like is already nerfed to zero while other classes are totally playable.

And keep in mind I’m not talking about all this easy-mode PvE. I extremly enjoy this class in PvE. Stubbie said he never ecountered the party to complain about he being a ranger. Its not like that. Most of the ppl are running random parties for dungs. This is not a holy trinity so u can go even 5x ele’s into a dung. And its ok. But when it comes to parties that actually want to have specialized pt for speedrun or something, they’ll never get a Ranger cus this class is totally useless on organized group PvE.

My whole post and ppl opinions I’ve posted are about Ranger in WvW and thus in PvP. While playing in zerg is not a big deal cus everybody pops out AoE and counts their lootbags, when it comes to smaller PvP or 1vs1 Ranger is the worst class ever.

If we’ll take equally skilled players and give Ranger to one of em and any other class to second, the second will beat the Ranger easily. Warriors, Guardians, Thieves, Elementalists and Mesmers eat Rangers for breakfast. The only “fair” fights I’ve ecountered were versus Necros and Engineers, tho I found the first one being slighty above second.

I don’t know how someone could even think about me trolling. Did you actually read the Ranger forums ? Everyday we can see ppl complaining. Stalin once said “The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic”. I’ll use the similar scheme “The complaining of one man is a proof of his lack of skill, the complaining of thousands is a proof that something is really wrong”

I haven’t been playing GW1 but my friend did. For years. Except that he says that GW2 is incredibly weak comparing to first one, he also says that GW1 Ranger was actually a Ranger, not some training dummy for other classes.

Lower output damage because of having pets, pets are totally useless in PvP if we talk about dealing dmg, most weapons skills are incredibly weak, bows are weak, if bows are weak for a RANGER than we have nothing left because melee ranger is weaker than any other melee class. As one of the ppl opinions I’ve wrote above states: LB Warrior > LB Ranger, same for SB thief. Although I dont like Thief SB…

I really thought that I will be fine and I will take all those cons and play. But after I saw that now they take off our 50% evasion regeneration by half, I just broke down. That was the last thing that allowed me to live for little longer. Srlsy, as someone said, Anet said that evasion regeneration at Ranger is OP. OP for the class that is supposed to have a lot of evasive moves.

Pets should be thrown off for overall damage buff for ranger. Or there should be a mechanic that would increase the damage when the pet is turned off(and thus a mechanic that wont turn on the pet whenever we receive dmg). Active effects of signets should apply to ranger by default without having to pop 30pts trait. Shouts should be completely reworked or removed. Having ability to ground-target Traps should be merged into 15pts minor. Bows should be reworked because they are extremly weak for a ranged class, especially longbow. Opening Strike should be reworked because it need whole 25 pts to be usefull, otherwise its just pointless to have it. There are more and more suggestions how to improve this class and improve its playability in WvW/PvP. Tons of them are on this forum. But Anet doesnt care. They totally dont know what to do with this class. If they would read those topics and actually think about all those suggestions, Rangers could see a bright better future. But as for now probably all Ranger players lost their faith about seeing any positive changes….cus the only positive thing I saw about upcoming patch is that unbounding spirits will be moved into lower traits

That’s all I have to say. And by the way – sorry for all typos and grammar mistakes, English is not my main language

EDIT: Serraphin Storm – by topic title I just wanted to show that they don’t read the ranger forums, they dont hear the community voice. If my post would be about suggestions, nothing would have changed. There are tons of such posts and I dont see Anet doing anything about satisfying community need for this class. And tell me what do you mean by “cant use your pet properly ?” Excuse me but I don’t have any influence on my pet battle mechanic, its not my fault that they cant deal any damage in PvP while we desperatly need that dmg. The only usefull pets are supports, but not even all of em. Eg. I like Wolf and its fear. I also was thinking about using Sylvan Hound but then I found that its heal is too weak.

Few more words. I will not reroll. I invested too much time into my main. Soon I’ll probably will get my huntsman to 500 and craft ascended bow. I got entire world completed. Nearly 4k AP. I enjoy playing ranger in PvE where pets can acutally be usefull (no-stress soloing champs thanks to pet tanking). I’m tied to this character. But those are the facts that we all know. Ranger usefullness in group PvE is close to zero and class is the weakest one when it comes to PvP

So Anet, you dont care about Rangers anymore. I’m not sure u even cared about them anyway. Want a solution ? Delete this class cus you are making it even worse and worse. Instead of buffing you are nerfing this class even further (evasion regeneration nerf). Cant compete in PvP, cant compete in PvE (not that its bad in PvE…but every other class do their jobs way better), have crappy utilities that are heavily trait dependant to be any usefull, crappy trait design….jesus, i can make extreme long list of the thing that doesnt work in ranger. But why bother, u dont care, noone cares, ppl are happy cus of the easy Ranger kills in WvW (and those…<censored word> even dare to whine about how fast Ranger can get up from downed in the water….). I dont know what to say…rly. I’ll just post other ppl opinions that reflect Ranger status in 100%

-“Haven’t touched the game in a month and I see nothing really has changed. The Ranger (my main from launch) still sucks kitten and the Warrior is still OP as f**k, while getting buffs instead of nerfs. This only confirms to me that someone high up at ANet has a raging kitten for Warriors, making them untouchable. There’s something seriously wrong with ANet’s logic when the Warrior outclasses the Ranger at RANGED combat, not to mention, everything else — except maybe aquatic combat.”

-“If you choose 1 route, you will most likely be unable to take anything else than survival utility. Example: playing 2 traps and 1 defensive signet (that would affect you) would require in total of 60 traits. Thus, you cannot go 1 signet and instead take survival utility or maybe ‘Protect Me’.”

-“If you do not commit 30 points for a utility, it just becomes bad. Trap, spirit or signets – just completely ineffective by themselves. Other classes mostly only make their utilities from good to better, whereas for ranger – bad to good.”

-“You don’t have enough armor and you don’t make enough power. The two never balance out. You have weak armor and poor power so you need to spam whatever attacks you’re using and keep your distance otherwise you just go down. In WvsW don’t even try to solo because you wont make it when a Thief catches you and just drains your life like it’s no big deal.”

-“…Bows provide nothing to a team, and rangers as a class don’t provide much to a team, which is why they aren’t wanted…”

-"Pets are as bad as people say.
Rangers are balanced with having pets in mind, therefore they are kitten. "

-"Delay on pet skill activation(F2) is not fun. Show me any other profession that has to put up with that nonsense. "

-"…role based…

dps… get well anything BUT a ranger… and a healy guardian…
heal… get a guardian…
condition damage… get a necro… mesmer… engineer…
tank… get serious!!! (yeah bunker build right? sigh)
burst… get thief… warrior…
ranged… get a warrior for longbow… and i wish i had the thieves shortbow…

weapon based…
sword… warrior and thieves do it better
dagger… what???
longbow… warrior does it better
shortbow… thief does it lot better
greatsword… warrior guardian and hell even mesmer do it better…
axes… umm warrior rules…
warhorn… chuckles
torch… well this one is actually good on rangers… so we may actually use it…"

-“Right now a Warrior can play a Ranger’s role and do it better which is a joke. Better melee, fair enough, he’s a warrior after all. Better ranged with a rifle and not to mention more tanky since he can wear heavy armor.”

-"I enjoy playing my ranger, but that class is the master of nothing, and so there is no situation where it would actually be an advantage to choose ranger over any of my other characters. "

I could post more and more….but it all comes down to one: Ranger is UP as hell. Which is funny cus in most of MMO’s Ranger is OP as hell. I still remember how Aion Rangers could easily pew-pew everything in range…well, same as Assassins…for me playing as Spiritmaster if Ranger came out of hide I was dead. If he came charging I could only survive by binding him before he will stunlock me to s**t and burst down to groud.

Ah, I mentioned Aion and Spiritmaster class so one more thing.
Spiritmaster summoned spirits > Ranger pets.
Even tho they were also kinda useless. But at least I could use my Earth spirit as 30k HP mobile shield that will suck all dmg done to me for 2 minutes duration….and I could fully heal it twice per battle. The look of 12 man twink zerg that couldnt take down one lone poor Spiritmaster…While in GW2 what can I do ? Look at my pet and his pathetic tries to do any harm to enemy ?

TL:DR version - Ranger sucked, sucks and will suck.

inb4 – l2p, ranger is OP, i suck, l2p, qq, play tetris, plz leave, lol u mad, use the only proper build, TL:DR, TL:DR the TL:DR version,…have i mentioned l2p ?

My left eye is not ready

Funny thing, just right now I’ve noticed that char is closing one eye to “aim” while shooting
