Guild Wars 2

Creating a topic separate from the other monthly discussion for visibility and hopefully a developer response. The new monthly rewards are very different from what we used to receive. Karma has been reduced to almost nothing, and you now gain zero laurels. I know this second omission is a great upset to many players, especially those like myself who barely did not finish the monthly before the patch. Laurels were already a seriously depressing time gate for those with alts, and this change removes a quarter of our reliable laurel income (not counting the less consistent achievement milestones). Was it intended to remove these laurels from the monthly reward?

Just put this:

into this game, and I’ll be a happy man…

(ok, now I feel old)

This. Thank you for bringing back such happy memories.

I would pay so many bags of gold for that charr mask. They need to be made available to the fans. Make it so, ArenaNet!

If this isn’t new I’ve never noticed it before, but I just finished the HotW story dungeon and received a rare helmet that had a new attribute, “Required Profession: Guardian, Warrrior”.

Being heavy armor I don’t know how such an attribute would help. Is this perhaps a remnant from an older system before armor classes were created? Do all heavy Mind of Koda helmets received as a reward from the story have this attribute?
