McKenna Berdrow.2759:

We will be adding a new currency that is similar to Proof of Heroics that will allow you to buy new sigils, runes, recipes, and hero points from PoF.

This is info we could have got a bit sooner. I have stacked over 4 k of proof the last months when i could have picked other rewards because i wont need as many :/

When you ban half of your pvp scene and wonder why it’s dying out
rip

Good bait, but needs more salt.

Wasn’t bait. Was the truth. Legit banned the NA pvp scene so now what high tier gameplay are we gonna watch?
NA pvp scene is officially non-existant now ezpz

If that is the best NA can offer then maybe NA need to step up a kitteneating or bending rules should never be a corner stone in a top tier players game.
A bit baffled that you look at it from that pov.

No, no no no and no. I mean how can you even consider such thing when you see how the bandwagoners destroy WvW and you wan them to be able to bandwagon for free and build up even worse bandwagon. If anything servers need to be back and the small servers merged. I can’t even begin to understand how you think this is good?

Further more, i am not willing to remove servers and replace it with what have been tried in so many other games already with the same result. A group of bandwagon people move to one of the sides/colors/facctions/whateveryouwanttocallit. They run over two servers to a point were those two server will no longer play, because why would anyone want to be rolled over. And the bandwagoner will not move to the now empty servers because why would they want to be rolled over so they simply quit. This is the case in any other game that have this as a option.

The reason it worked in GW2 for so long is the servers, and the population on it. Because you know most of the players on your server and what you can expect from them and they know what to expect from you. This is still very valid on my server, and if it changes i am fairly certain that a big chunk of the players will leave WvW because we never wanted to be a bandwagon server, we wanted to be the server that can do a lot with what ever we have. And it mostly works.

So no, just no. Servers are the reason why WvW is still a valid game. Removing them and it will be like any other game out there. And all of them have not managed to be what WvW are.

Same. I had issues to log in and my character was moved to outside of LA after i swapped from Lake Doric to Airship. I swapped character and started second instance and in second fight i dc in the middle of it. Not gonna log in again until it is fixed because i don’t want to be spoiled, so please look in to this.

I usually finish on Sunday or Monday and most of them are not outnumbered buffs. I get about 7 pips so for me it is possible to get it done pretty fast.

I agree that it really is a job for players just starting or if you like me have alt accounts. And what bothers me is the fact that the progress i do on them never count because i will not get passed the wooden chest if that. Imo it should rather be that the pip acquirement is constant and move over for each week if you have not finished it. So if i did wood 3 my new week start at wood 3. If i did diamond i will start all over again.

This way my alt account sometime in the future will have a legendary backpack. It will take a lot of time probably years and i am ok with that, but it will happen, instead of now were it wont happen, because i will not spend a huge amount of hours playing WvW on more then one account and make sure i do a wood chest on them. .

As much as i want tournament back in WvW but with more then just a few weeks in between to avoid the burnout that happen on the last one, i still think it will not be possible to make it happen until links are gone. It is not possible to have a fair tournament with links. So do the kitten merge already and we can finally get a more competitive WvW were servers really do fight against each other for honor and real prices.

This is why EU will always be > NA.

Not really. We’re not having queue problems like EU is right now. Our queue times are no more than 30 mins during prime time. I think our PvEers have less fortitude than yours, or it took them less time to figure out the time commitment for the rewards.

Not really, the reason why your pugs are bleeding out is because your guilds on nearly all NA servers demands all players in a squad to be on ts/discord or they are not allowed to join squad and being ignored in fights, which leaves them with nothing and they stop joining. And the fits thrown from coms having to few on them is hilarious. As if they can not see the connection.

Anyway this is the main reason to why NA have so few pugs compared to EU. Whilst we want them on ts and nagg about it as well, we are not being total jerks about it and try to get them to join us on ts and if not at least be of use for the zerg we have.

This is hilarious. You and your fan boys are the reason to why the WvW in EU is going towards the kittenty WvW that NA have. If you stop transfer your horde every time there is a re-link and instead split up so there are veteran players on all the EU servers that can provide fights and commander and guilds then WvW would balance it self out. But instead you and your horde and then other horde bandwagon a link and get upset that it got linked to a tier 4 host and now you want Arena Net to move you up. Why?
In a few weeks when new re-link happen your host will be abandoned and drop dead like a rock which will hurt the host server so badly. And somehow you feel this is A-Nets fault. I blame them for a lot of things that are wrong with WvW but this one is on you and the rest of the server hoppers.

you shoudn;t take this personaly since we are on the same matchup , we are alredy splitted betwen us and fsp /gankdara /riverside

I am not suffering from it since i stayed on my server through goods and bads for years so it does not feel to personal. All though the post were you complains about something you been a part of creating and now blaming A-Net and want a fix, i do find that hilarious so maybe i aimed it to personal.

We can blame a lot on them when it comes to WvW but not something that players are creating, that is something we have to fix on our own.
And it certainly do not fix it self within a link period, it takes longer time then that and you have to actually stick to a host server for it to happen. But since the horde of players are moving each time a re-link comes up it will never stabilize and keep on being a issue until EU WvW is as bad as NA which i hope will never happen and i do hope you are right about the moving part. It been so in the past but lately it seem like players expect changes on a problem they created and that wont really happen.

DBL is a punishment for the server that get it. It is a very inactive map that most players avoid going too. I will keep on posting this link until people stop telling DBL is fine, it isn’t.
http://i.imgur.com/fWWmFKR.jpg

It does ofc not mean that noone ever like DBL ofc there are players who do. But most of the players do not like it and do not move to the map when being attacked which again is a huge disadvantage to the server who is red.

So i was on a NA account last night when there was a server message saying EU servers is going down for a few hours. NA was not offline only EU.
I know there was maintenance work done but not a single word about why that i can find. If this was PvE it would be communicated high and low on every forum and other channels but so far i found nothing about this, so could we at least get a message about what was going on and what is wrong with EU that is working fine on NA?

I can not for the love of anything understand why this have not been patched yet. It is game breaking in wvw and yet it been going on for months now.

This is what happens. In structures keep/sm/towers when fighting on them and getting loot, you get teleported to the loot bag. As for example, i can stand at the bottom of the stairs of the wall on inner sm. I cast lava font on top on the walll were enemies have moved up. Enemies die on top of that wall, and suddenly i find my self on top of the wall. If several players at the same time die on top of the wall i can have a serie of teleports to the lootbags (or i assume it is the bodies i get tp too).

Even worse are this. I am casting meteor shower on top of the wall, someone dies, i get ported to the body that dropped the lootbag, and this interrupt my meteor shower and it goes to waste.
And as if this is not the worst, my trait Gale Song, triggers Eye of the storm because the game think i been pulled when i port up, so now that is on cool down too.
And as if this is not the worst (yes it gets even dumber) i get ported to the enemie groups aoe and i die even though i would never have moved there in the first place. All of this because of loot is bugged in WvW when you own a keep/sm/tower and fighting inside of it around the walls.

This is not something which happens one time each year. Today at reset it happen most likely about 20 times. And everybody else on ts keeps on swearing over this bug as much as i am, so it is something that effect everybody.

Now please stop ignoring this bug. It is not possible to play if you being pulled by a freaking lootbag, loosing several cooldowns due to it and with a high chance of dying because you get pulled in to aoe bomb by the very same lootbag. I have literally been ported up and down several time in the very same stairs or wall. It is so dumb, so game breaking and again, why is is still there after so many months?

Omg this means i can finally finish all the story achievements in HoT. Something that bugged me for ever a year but after raging hard the last time i tried i swore to never go back until a message like this came up

No way that would be absolutely stupid. I have 32 characters today. That means 32 birthday gifts every year, instead of 1. Why would i want that???

Had to swap wings when doing the underground labyrinth thingy because i could simply not see were to land when i had the raven wings.

I have to agree with this. Piken is overstacked tot he teath and they got a link. FSP managed on their own and yet they got links, whilst Deso was so empty last week and the few we met we rotfl-stomped most of the week. Sfr have been super empty since long, so how come Piken the overstacked server have a link and sfr dont? It looks like something went wrong with the links.

This is the dumbest post i seen in a long while and i wish it worked like on reddit so we could down vote it in to oblivion. They did not know this would happen, and they first tried to launch it, which is by no mean something that you just hit a red little button and then see, oh kitten it is not working we better tell the players, but they tried. It did not work. They tried to find a way which takes time until they understand that ok this wont happen now we need more time.
So they told us, ok we need a few more hours. They still thought they could get it out and was working hard on fixing it. They had informed us and after hours of this, they understood that ok it wont go off we need a lot more time. And they informed us again.

If there had been no info at all, i would have understood your points, but there was info. As much info they could get without promise something they could not deliver. There was communication and as much it could be because you know, it is impossible to forsee the weather and the consequences of it until you really looked in to it and tried to find a way around.

I was ofc disappointed as well as the rest of us, but my god you guys need to realize there are things beyond the control of a company and they DID give us information.

Well right now a lot of wvw groups playing with judge intervention and a ton of necros bouncing it with epidemic and watching the enemie melee train blow up. Another hit is to put epidemic on Lord and watch everyone around Lord blow up.

And no it really is not epidemic in it’s form that is the issue. The issue is condition damage inside of wvw is so out of hand that it is flat out ridiculous. It been for over a year and just get worse and worse. And what is really bugging me is that apparently they realize this is a issue in PvP and have told us they will make a split between pvp and pve, but in WvW were the outcome is even worse due to more players they simply ignore it. If they will split pvp from pve when making balance, add wvw to this as well anything else is just dumb.

Zedek.8932:

Excelsior.

One tip would be: Stay away from the forums.
On the other hand… Nah, stay away from the forums. The amount of “This game dies”, “This class is OP”, “This game does not get enough revenue” and other drama and end-of-world scenarios here are only for the strong-minded and veterans that know it’s mostly Dolyak-dung.

Ingame, well, I would reocmmend you not looking for tips and figuring out everything by yourself. This game really gives you everything step by step. There is no need for dungeons like in other games, you do not have to socialize if you feel afraid as newbie and often you can just attach yourself to a event farming group to get a boost of insight. Else, be, what you already decalred: DIVE INTO THIS ADVENTURE and don’t spoil yourself with too many helpers already.

Why most people are on reddit instead https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/

If you don’t want to play the story for the sinister trinkets, achievements and mastery points then you can also look it up on youtube. GW2 have a lot of streamers and had back then too that covered both living story season 1 and 2 to get up to date with what happen.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Has anyone seen Living World Season 3 Episodes 1 and/or 2 for purchase in the Gem Store?

I can’t see them, of course, because I have them unlocked. And any alt accounts don’t own HoT; doesn’t matter, though, because they are unlocked just by logging in.

Edit: Well, I see the Episodes are available for purchase in the Story Journal, but if one does not own HoT, they are not available for purchase in the Gem Store. Can’t tell if those that do own HoT can purchase them from the Gem Store, as well.

You have to own HoT to be able to play living story season 3.

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

To clarify you won’t be able to activate them while in combat.

So if you are transformed then enter combat you will not transform back to your regular model. So you can still fight as a kodan if you activate it before the fight.

Aaaah i just read the first post about an hour after i decided to buy the kodan tonic so i don’t have to buy the mage tonic each time i turn invisible in wvw after using Tornado as ele. And then i saw the post and got bummed out. But what you write here makes sense and is really a good solution.

I am not a super fan of courtyard but have no issues on having it on unranked. And i actaully do not want anything to be changed with it because it is the only map were it is just about the players and nothing else but that. Would be nice to keep at least one map without gimmicks.

Omg this made me so happy! I so wanted the title for capricorn, but did not make it in time and was really sad and unhappy about it. This made my day

Justine.6351:

And people still crying about night capping, grief.

If you met servers we are facing were they cap all late night and early morning and then when people join back during morning all they do is run away from every fight. Run or port and back cap what others have flipped. Except for about 2 hours in the evening were they are roughly 100 players on the map and fights do happen, and your server roll them over. This matches are not fun for anyone, good loot sure, but after a few days people are bored as hell. This is how it is in EU for some servers that are not stacked or are night cap servers. In NA you have the oceanic players to cover you when you sleep so i suppose the issue is not really that bad in NA

No i would not be interested to move to a new server what so ever. Gandara is my home server and were i been the past years in ups and downs. Our server have server pride still. We have a big comunity that cares, we have a comunity guild that is working very well were new players can join and were we can call for help to defend. We have everything that wvw is for me. Moving to a new server to stack players even more is the last nail in the coffin for me. It is not acceptable, for me.

In fact as it is now i see how you guys are interefering more then you should. You are running the match ups and you are doing this even though you have no clue how EU are working . So half of the servers get matched up with servers that we just do not want to fight. You lift up night capping servers, giving them two links and place them with the other servers in the higher tiers and it is just missereble to meet those servers since noone of us have anything to share. We want to fight and we have to plew our way through siege oceans, and now stupid cannons, and then we need to take the gates down and then when we finally hope to fight them they waypoint or die on the first push. Not fun for us, not fun for them.
And then my server stops and goes to bed, and those two are up all night avoiding eachother capping.

EU was never broken in the way NA was. But you are breaking it to a point were it feels there is no turn around. You can not stack servers. It is not about the percentage of players it is about how the players gain their points. If one server constantly have a kittenty death ratio, but high night cap points then pair them with equal servers that have the same (in EU) Don’t ruin our matches by trying to put together servers with percentage of players. That will not work.
We have our community, our commanders, our everything. Stop making it worse.

So what to do the. Remove linking in EU, and merge a few servers together from the bottom. Give them a month to pick their new server (for freee ofc) and get it over with. Don’t touch our matches in EU, they are not like NA at all.

macon.4065:

Please remove Gift of Battle from the WVW reward track. The PVE folks are not liking it their as they just don’t want to do WVW events or PVP. Please find a way so that it can be universal across all the boards. In this manner PVP, WVW and PVE can all achieve this award to create legendaries, etc.

If they give WvW players a way to get Gift of Exploration through WvW-only sure, why not?

So much this ^

MaLeVoLenT.8129:

You have server pride within a name and not the physical individuals of the community. You place too much concentration on the actual name and not whom you’re playing with. A server is nothing more than a house and while it’s good to have pride in the upkeep of your house you should have more pride in your family and friends.

How does server-links stop you from playing with your community versus the other system? If you do not like mass numbers than you can still move to a lower tier to avoid the blobs. How does your group size reflect your server pride. WvW isn’t who has the biggest blob it’s who has the most coverage. This has never changed whether it’s the “old” system or the “new”.

I do not like Server-links. But I do not wish to go back to the old.

This is not true for me. I play on a EU server that still have the same players they always had. The same community, the same guilds the same players i knows for many years. It have not changed for us at all. But the linking system where one of the servers linked are populated with all the worst trolls in EU, were the language is so bad 24/7 that you feel sick and block nearly the whole linked server, and they all being banned on the TS of our comunity. That was a challenge. But we managed to get through even that. We got unlinked and got old linked server back who we have no issues with, nor did we have with any other link.

So yes links are not working as intended. And server pride is still a thing, and we still play with the same people. You might not, and your normal server might not, i don’t know. But mine is.

I agree with you. At this point there is no reason for a server to put in effort to get on top. Wait a linking out, get two links and run straight through all other servers to the top (this is what happens in EU right now) Servers who never had what they needed or even wanted to be a top server are now passing us moving up to the top. It did not happen in 4 years, and now suddenly with 2 stacked linked servers and glicko manipulation and bam servers that did not get the 2 links falls down, or being forced down by being paired with rank 11 and 13 and even though you win that mu by far, you do not gain points, and those 11 and 13 gains a kitten load even though they loose badly (as is ofc expected). Manipulation on the highest level.
This is not what linking was suppose to be. A way to interfere with the matching system and decide who will be the happy two linked server, and who will get the troll link server that is so full of trolls, hate and bad language that you have your chat closed during the whole period you are linked to them and counting days for the server to be removed from your server.

Food in wvw does not need a fix, condition damage do. Condi damage is what is totally stupid in wvw at this point and have been for nearly a year now.
Oh condi damage and the god kitten cannons.

This been going of for weeks now, if not months. You get moad, or you use Tornado and half of the time you end up invisible. There is no way to reverse it but to relog, and if you are inside of wvw during prime time with 30-40 in que or more it is not likely that you will relog. I can buy a ascalonian mage potion but i prefer if you could fix this bug since it is 1, been there for long and 2. can’t be that hard to replicate it. It is not the transformation in it self, i use Tornado many times and do not get invisible, but half of them i do.

The absolute worse part is that if you get invisible whilst you are moad, you also loose your possibility to jump. Which means you can pretty much not play unless you move on spots were it is free los and as you can imagine, this is really crippling our game inside of WvW.

Look in to it. Don’t let it take more weeks. I mean if this was a PvE raid and people got invisible i think this would have been fixed the day after. Please fix it!

Because their release page was wrong? The one who updated their release page though…

It’s one thing to not post an end date, but a different one to post a wrong date.

No because after i made clear why i wanted the answer from A-Net and noone else since all of us were guessing and only A-Net knew, you gave me a kittenty attitude back and question what it was more i wanted. The fact was and still is NOONE but A-Net know the answer, and the rest are guesses based on god knows what depending on what and how people interpret other peoples responses.

Also To Gaile. Thank you for giving the response, it is most appreciated. I would like to see a more open time scheduled in future so that we can plan around how we want to play it. I can understand there are issues around it though, but still if possible this would be a good thing

The link maddoctor gave a timeframe on the GW2 homepage.

I agree a quick confirmation should have occured since we know they read the forums and thus seen the question, but the answer was provided on their releases page.

It is not a specific date and imo i can not even begin to understand why we never got one. It would be a good communication which any other game i played always given and as far as i remember we also got in this game in the past, so why the heck not this year. Just one of the small things that annoys me. I want to be able to plan my game time and knowing when something starts and ends is one of those things that makes my game time easier.

The official release page clearly states “nearly two weeks”. What more do you need?

And the exact same text was used in 2015 and 2014, without any specific dates. So in 2016 it’s the same as the previous 2 years.

The Shadow of the Mad King, our annual Halloween festival, returns for nearly two weeks of ghoulish capers, spooky fights, and holiday fun! Gather together with the citizens of Lion’s Arch to enjoy another year of tricks, treats, and terrible jokes.

The only way to get it is to log in to one of the big city in game every month and you didn’t so there for that month do not count and you just get the achievement done one month later.

I bought the brew the first day it was added. How ever som ewere it bugged out which i did not see until i about half way in to the next month realized i did not get any brew. Looking in to it there was no achievement triggered as if i never had bought it, which i had, it is not even a questions if i did, i did, but it was bugged and i had to pay 10 more gold to get it again. So i am also late and wont get it when everybody else does. It sucks, but there is nothing i can do to prove the bug.

People asking every were but get no response. Please let us know when the end date of the event is.

For weeks now you get invisible after someone moa you in wvw. This can not be fixed unless you relog or use the ascalonian mage potion. And when this happen during prime or reset it is not fun having to log out just to fix the invisible issue.

I reported it and many others too, so will we get a fix soon?

Djamonja.6453:

You know what would be really useful in your feedback, is to say where or why they they were bad. “They’re cancer” is not helpful.

Yesterday it took us a whole day to take SM. Why? Cannons. And not just a few cannons here and there. Cannons on sm every were in every spot there was remotely possible to squeeze one in, there was one.
I would not lie if i say it was over 50 of them. If you wanted you could probably jump around on top of them without ever touching the floor. Two servers with full blobs were trying for the whole freaking day to reset sm.
And do know in EU top tiers noone gives a kitten who owns sm, we only make sure to reset it if someone owns it too long and make good fights harder to get. A whole freaking day because of the cannons. It is the absolute WORST idea ever made for wvw.
I tell you even golems with ac’s taped on their hands and feets is a better idea. It absolutely is not working with cannons.

And the worst part of this, if they had listen to the wvw players that actually play wvw on a regular basis they would never had to bother to implement it and could focus on other more important things for wvw. We knew this would happen. We even said so many many many times.

So please remove them, and please talk to the wvw players before you try out new ideas. And do not tell us we voted about it. We did, but so did also anyone and their goldfish, because the truth is that anyone can vote, even if they do not touch wvw at all, or even if they only play for dailys 10 min a day if that, they can vote about what they think will be good for wvw, and the players that are in there for hours and hours every day have to live with this vote.

First of all please make salvage kits stackable. I have so many Black Lion Salvage kits on my bank and i can’t see the reason why we can not stack them.

“Hey guys let’s vote for a feature, then just tell people how stupid the idea is”.

Something tells me the people on these forums would vote for a certain presidential candidate for the same effect.

The issue with the voting is that anyone can vote. People never playing wvw votes, people joining maybe half an hour a week vote, bu none of those are here to see the impact of it. They are not the players that logs in every day and stay for hours. Those players mostly have a very different opinion, but we can not do anything about the open voting system, were anyone and their gold fish have a say. This is the issue. I said it before. If thee was a vote for PvE raids, would it be ok if people never raiding could vote and settle what players raiding every week need for raids?

Oh my god stop blaming it on all the casual players already. I voted for them. Okay? And do you know why I voted for them? Because I wanted to see if they can be a nice addition to the game and because I thought that Anet would have at least tested the most basic features like decay timer and siege cap.
As we can see that was already too much, but only because Anet is incapable of delivering something only the slightest related to peoples expectations doesn’t mean that nobody liked the basic idea.

Do you want to blame me for a broken WvW because I liked the idea of getting some more variety into my favourite gamemode or could you also imagine blaming the developer that actually kittened this up?

Why do you ask if i could blame you, i straight up would together with the devs.
Like with the dessert maps, there was a few wvw players voting for that too, but as you can see they were very few, and are hard to find when their server have dbl.

The voting system is not working, and if it was working there would not be any cannons to start with. Telling A-Net how to fix the cannons is useless because it will be gone when beta is over and not coming back.
If there was a thing that really was something that wvw players needed and wanted then the forum would be full of ideas how to fix it instead of disappointment.

Warcry.1596:

“Hey guys let’s vote for a feature, then just tell people how stupid the idea is”.

Something tells me the people on these forums would vote for a certain presidential candidate for the same effect.

The issue with the voting is that anyone can vote. People never playing wvw votes, people joining maybe half an hour a week vote, bu none of those are here to see the impact of it. They are not the players that logs in every day and stay for hours. Those players mostly have a very different opinion, but we can not do anything about the open voting system, were anyone and their gold fish have a say. This is the issue. I said it before. If thee was a vote for PvE raids, would it be ok if people never raiding could vote and settle what players raiding every week need for raids?

As a reminder, we held a poll 2 months ago and the community voted to beta deployable cannons: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/WvW-Poll-18-July-Cannon-Blueprints-Closed/page/3#post6252969

Do not say community, because the wvw comunity do not want it. I have not met a single person that players wvw for hours every day that think this are good ideas in. When voting about this is made purely by wvw players then you can say the community voted.
As it is now anyone and his gold fish votes, even people not setting a foot inside of wvw votes because… why not. And players joining purely for daily’s spending 30 minutes if that votes. None of this have the possibility to see the impact that this cannons really have. I mean last night i was on my NA account. There was literally cannons every 5 meters inside of bay and people kept on making new.

This voting have nothing to do with wvw as long as you let anyone vote in it. Because lets face it, look at desert border. The big vote about that. All the players missing it, telling us it is a great map it has to come back and now when it is, were are those players? the map is always empty on defenders, having red border is a punishment, so were are all those voters?

When alpine came back and all the wvw votes did vote for this, the maps was qued and are still those that we favors, so were are all those voting for dbl?

Anyway i am just very tired of this and seeing you using but you voted as if this was something the wvw players wanted, that is just making me more grumpy. We did not vote for this. Anyone and their gold fish did.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I’m guessing the account isn’t high enough to enter LA?

You have to be lvl 35 to go through LA.

Thanks all for the help, i found a portal in Gendaran. Was one shotted a few times but got to a gate eventually. I then noticed i can not use the lfg tool until i am lvl 30 so i can’t taxi to a active instance, but at least i got inside

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I didn’t see any in Queensdale, but they are in Gendarran. I haven’t really looked elsewhere.

Thanks gonna head there and check. There been gates in queensdale every other year but maybe it is moved now with the f2p i dunno.

Because i want to level this f2p account in the labyrinth.

I am on a f2p account and have moved around Queensdale for 1.5 hours without finding a single gate spawning on the map. Are they bugged? removed? Whats the deal with them?

The entire point of the nightclub analogy is that a business should be held accountable not only to paying customers, but to ALL consumers that are being provided a free service.

Your airplane analogy falls apart since there are no special privileges the business class passengers have that compromises the service of the passengers who didn’t pay. Here I’ll add to it!

“I’m not angry that the business class passengers have it good, with all that food and entertainment! Good for them! I’m angry that they’re throwing garbage down the chutes that were placed right above us! There are rats here too!”

Also, you keep trying to equate “losing in pvp to an elite spec” to being physically assaulted or abused by a company. Come on, that’s just ridiculous. Every company has an obligation to not literally attack you. That doesn’t mean that they also have an obligation to provide you with the same level of service.

I don’t think you’ve thought through either of the analogies enough, unfortunately. Just off the top of my head, here’s a couple things business class passengers get to the detriment of regular passengers:
- They get priority on carry-on baggage space, which means sometimes a regular-class passenger has to check in his baggage because there isn’t enough space left.
- They get priority seating, which means the regular-class passenger has to wait in line longer.
- They get exclusive access to 1/3 to 1/2 of the bathrooms on the plane, and can also use the regular-class bathrooms, which means regular-class passengers have more crowded bathrooms and have to wait longer.
- They get to deplane earlier, and if they’re asleep, the staff will gently wake them up first, before any of the regular-passengers are allowed to exit. That’s why after the plane is done taxiing, the regular passengers have to sit around for another 10 minutes.

That’s way more “P2W” than GW2, since expansion owner’s don’t get priority on anything. They just get access to new content, which is kind of the point of an expansion pack. Some of the new content includes better specs, yes. But the fact that you’re losing to an elite spec in pvp is nowhere near the equivalent of being harmed or abused by A.net.

Of COURSE losing in pvp doesn’t equate to getting beaten up in a club. Again, you miss the point.

A business should be held accountable not only to paying customers, but to ALL consumers that are being provided a free service. There’s a difference between a paid service and a privilege. Privilege brings power and advantage over others.

Gw2 is free-to-play. In pvp, HoT players have power and advantage over f2p players due to elite specs. Sorry, but f2p players deserve at least a level playing field and I will not reconsider that position.

If the company made promises when the f2p version came out that the core game will stay updated and as reachable for all in any part of the game, then yes you should expect that. How ever there never was such promise made, it was always said, you can play the core game for free. This means you will lack of what expansion comes with, that is what you choose when you pick f2p.

If you for example picked to play Rift when it went f2p they promised (back then) that everything that paying customers had would be available for the f2p players. Well except for this and that it was added after. But either way, there was a promise made, and i would have expected what you asked for if i had started to play the game then on a f2p version. A-Net never said anything of the sort. They never promised it, or indicated that the f2p version would include what Hot have. Nor did they ever say anything about compensation stat vice or any other way. They only promised a f2p core game and that is what you have to play around with.

Now imo i do belive that it would not be a bad thing to have a f2p que for those that wish to que for vanilla builds. Ofc not ranked, and also a choice and you can still pick if you want to que as normal. This is something that i could see as a option. But what you are asking for is just you consider the f2p core game being more then what it was said to be.

nerovergil.5408:

Advanced class is clearly stronger than vanilla class.

Just give that advantage at WVW.

We want balanced game in pvp..

If players like the games, they will throw u money. p2w never a good ideas.

So you do not want to pay for the expansion, but yet you want all of the players that did, to adjust after vanilla? The f2p version is not even vanilla because you do not even have the full core game. The f2p version is a extended trial, were you get a lot out from it. If you want to stay and play GW2 in the long run you will have to buy the expansions to stay competitive, because the f2p version have never been promised any updates, or anything that progress the core game further. And if you expect us to stay in the core game without progress then you will kill the game.

Darkside.7182:

Just rollback to release day please. All things gonna be fine. Separated solo-team ques, separated pvp-pve traits, skills, armor sets.

I remember first shark rank player. We watched that finisher on youtube was unbelievable..

PvP was uniqe, hard (maybe impossible) to get top rank and many beautiful things.. You ruined everything about pvp..

Well this is a silly post. No matter what game or game mode you play, you can never get back the feeling when you done something the first time. If this is what you are looking for you will be constantly disappointed in your life because the reason why that felt so good was because it was the first time. And the first time everything feels hard to make. Later when you learned it is not as hard as it was the first time.
