Less how? I hit 80 and got best armor possible after playing like 5 days or something. Do you want an “I WIN” button or what?

I want a game where clicking “log in” feels like a win button, and a lot of the things that people are complaining about amount to penalties just for spending your time in the game world.

I’m sure most will be addressed in time, and some never will because the developers will disagree that they’re a punishment. To each his own.

But I’ll say it again:

They should communicate more than they are.
Games should always be about rewards; never about punishment. This is a fine line because “having to choose A or B” can be just that: a challenging, difficult choice.

But things like “Here are waypoints. You can use them, but whether you do or don’t, you’re going to spend your time doing SOMETHING that you clearly don’t want to do. Either farming to pay for the trip, or running through territory you’d just as soon skip for whatever reason.”

That’s a punishment and needs to be addressed.

My suggestion (off the top of my head): Pick your destination (it’s where you want to get to eventually) and click the waypoint.

You get two options:

a) deliver a message for the Asura. The waypoint travel is free, so long as you stop and talk to the NPC at the other end and deliver the message, and you actually get a few copper pieces for the trip. (reward, reward)

Or deliver a package. Item drops into your inventory for delivery to the NPC and it prevents you from using that waypoint until delivered or destroyed. If you deliver it intact, not only do you not have to pay for the waypoint (reward) but you keep anythying you gather on the way (reward) and get a nice little chunk of change or something from the NPC at the other end (reward).

This way I have a choice of rewarding options. If I have time, I’ll take the run and make some cash. If I don’t (like I’m just trying to get to my guildies at the dungeon entrance) I take option B and don’t feel penalized for taking the time to endure the loading screens (and yes, that is a price that players pay in real life minutes just for being in the game world and it needs to be taken into account.)

It’s not a perfect system, but imo it’s a LOT more fun than the current one.

And it’s just one way that always focusing on rewards can improve games like this.

I agree.

70 time an instance of 2 hours mean 140 hours, mean 6 days 24/24 of gaming that for a casual gamer alias anyone work it means 17 weeks just for a skin.

Casual gamer isn’t supposed to get this skin. This kind of challenge made specifically for those, who like grind.

Well, developers were speaking differently before the release and these game was supposed to be without grind fest to draw the line between gw2 and other mmo games.
Don’t you remember the sentence "if you on’t like mmo … and if you like … check gw2 out "?

70 time an instance of 2 hours mean 140 hours, mean 6 days 24/24 of gaming that for a casual gamer alias anyone work it means 17+ weeks minimum just for a skin, a lot of people don’t feel necessary these kind of time sink, especially when a.net has declared in many interview that the grinding system was out of the game.

Einherjar.4132:

While some good points are amidst the list I would like to say that the game is still out for less than a month. Currently it seems like the entire staff are franticly working on more important things like bug fixes and dealing with scammers/hackers and gold sellers.

Give them a while and im sure they’ll naturally start developing and expanding on new things to improve the game such as some of the stuff you have listed and other things that they notice that the community wants the most (so long as it doesn’t break the game of course).

Anyway my point is that people should be a bit more patient, once anet manage to fix the current issues they’ll get to the rest of the stuff

Indeed I agree with you, but better to start early in the time to hit the anvil till is warm.

zamarren.1472:

A lot of these “suggestions” are far too vague to be taken seriously. If you want Anet to improve class mechanics, you have to say which ones, specifically. This list is basically just asking them to change the whole game, which is far from being a popular opinion.

I don’t agree with you about the “vague” on the points above. Furthermore, that is is an upgrade or an implement of some features of the game, that the meaning of the whole post is very far from ask to change the whole game.
In short, here nobody is asking to introduce super mario as new playable profession

GOSU.9574:

Whenever you say something like you represent a group of players, back it up. Who do you represent? Who are these “many people”?

Not that any points you make or valid or invalid, just refrain from invalidating them from the get go with lofty statements such as the thread title.

Well, just search on google and you can find them in many different forums beside that many points are from other posts in this section and I just summed up here.

1v1 thief vs guardian ? come on fist he knock back you, second damage third you are almost dead , he kill you and he will rally. So 90% the times I down them and I go away, it should be without this lamer thing such as in all other pvp games as dota, lol … If a.net wish to have a e-sport close to the edge as the other games mention before as to change the some skills.

As a thief you shouldnt complain about the downed state of other professions :P

Indeed, I don’t complain about a singular DS of some profession nor my, I am complaining about this feature in itself.
It should be downgraded in the possibility just to rally up if the enemy that has killed you is dead not has it now.
Damages should be reduce than an 80% and remove all knock-back, stealth, blink, … abilities.

Indeed they are boring and as already shows the history in many others game as been removed, because they are just lamers abilities and not skillful.

My complain is that when someone is down 90% of the times is more strong then before.
So if some profession don’t have the possibility to finish him 90% of the time they stand up again.
In my opinion in Spvp it should be changed if you want focus on e-sport, because those abilities are not based on the ability of the gamer to win a fight, but on the contrary those ability are based on lamer abilities, that let you unable to finish your opponent.
To sum up please keep them up in any other contest as www or pve, but not in spvp.
