With things like this I just have to shake my head and ask “Why?”

Why? WHY? Because you KNOW that proof of heroics were never meant to be transferable the same way you can’t shuffle hero points from character to character. They missed a step and a minor exploit grew out of it and when people complained they were inconvenienced while exploiting a loophole they brought attention to it and lo and behold Anet FIXED IT.

But you knew that. You just wanted to add a dramatic sigh to your wishing you could go back to exploiting it.

You want an elite spec? Play. The. Character.

You are saying this like if it was gifted to them with no efforts while most spent hundreds of hours of grinding and farming in WvW. In PvE you get handfed those points by doing 10 mins of the first map in HoT along with Items,bags,exp,gold.
110 points just in the 1st map by gliding to most of them only maybe 1 needs a party out of the 11 in total.

That´s how I got my Elite, doing Mist with boosters to level my character and then going to HoT for free points. I guess PvE needs a big nerf to make it take at least 50 hours to get the ammount so you can actually say you “Play. The. Character.”

There is not really an exploit to it, more than actually saying your time was worth it for being around in WvW supporting your server and hanging with your guild and it was rewarded for the next character you wanted to play, in a market sense this would make people want to buy character slots so they can keep trying end game builds to know what type of gear they could aim for and essentially helping uplevels with what they have learnt so far after so many hours.

I could keep rambling the benefits but I will end it in saying that opening ways to players that like other type of modes ends up benefiting everyone and ultimately leads the game to feel less toxified by now this PvE,WvW,PvP arguments… in the end it´s the same game but people threat it like each mode is 100% separate and had to compete or complain to each other instead of helping each other.

Most of the decisions they are taking make no sense, they nerfed visual stuff to have less clutter but then filled the screen with icons and legendaries got a visual buff.

I play WvW, PvE and sPvP.. and I still facepalmed about this icon stuff.. there is a place for it and its the sPvP area, maybe only the lobby as I feel having icons in matches would actually lead up to toxic players harrasing lower tiers in casual or other type of matches.

Clearly you don’t play wvw. Or if you did, you would know that bringing in a half specced waste of space isn’t ideal for your server- basically you are asking the server to carry you.

This isn’t pve, where it doesn’t matter – in wvw you will be rally bait.

No one wants you anywhere near the battles if you’re not geared properly and don’t have the right class and build- not to mention you might main say guardian in wvw 95% of the time but want to work on, say, a thief.

What? Why would you go in half specced? There’s absolutely no need for that regardless of whether or not these kitten things are soulbound.

Nothing, and I mean nothing about this patch changes anything about how you bring a fully specced and equiped character into WvW.

The only thing you can’t get anymore is the elite specialization, and that’s the whole point.

You can´t go specced and geared with a fresh character, you do realise this right? WvW doesn´t work like sPvP where you have all skills unlocked and neutralized gear. Not only this but the WvW level works account wide it doesn´t reset back to level 1 when you´re back with a fresh character.. so that means more grinding and it means the more levels you got the more likely you´re a target because of your rank level and because you´re wearing nothing that can stand a hit.

A fresh character in WvW is like going to raids and asking to be carried with a 0 gear character, adding that it would also be a uplevel character if this was allowed.

I just tested this and saw no difference, first or third person.

All I can say is that the last patch probably messed up with quite a few of CPU compatibility, Do you use AMD or Intel? Friend of mine had this issue before last patch and he had Intel then last patch fixed his lag and me with my AMD suddenly start lagging all around, when I used to run around in WvW zergs or World bosses with almost no Fps issue.. now it´s more a slideshow at random and the game seems to demand way more CPU at random when it doesn´t need it.

It´s sad I can run Witcher 3 at high, MGS5 and GTAV, Fallout 4 and all that… but this game with DX9 has all this issues.
