Guild Wars 2

Yessss. I hope they take back the changes they’ve made, because this is so, so awful. Playing music is also my favorite thing to do in GW2, and it’s completely impossible to do properly now :c

Hm, to each their own. I’m not at all impressed by the transcriptions that most of the macros are, but I do like hearing the occasional original song that comes up!

I don’t like macros but I’ve come to accept that they’re here and people are going to use them, and it sucks that you were harassed.

It makes me a bit sad though that this thread is filled with people being snide towards people who learnt to play by hand, and I think that in turn just makes the people you’re talking about more bitter… it goes both ways! People were playing the instruments long before the music box became popular, so I can completely sympathize with those who are frustrated and feel like they’ve sunk a lot of time into nothing. I know I felt like that at one point, and my solution was to find friends to play duets and band songs with, and that made it fun and rewarding for me again.

Amazing characters~ I also made Snow a while ago for the guildwarsdyejob subreddit… and a pretty awful Lightning.

Some of my friends did other FFXIII characters. :’)

Well, there goes my last bit of fun in this game. Heartbroken.

Idk what you’re even getting at with any of those analogies. :s They make absolutely no sense – just like Gaile’s. It’s really more like someone showing up at a talent show with a recording of Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu, while sitting at a piano pretending to play and taking all the praise for it. And of course there are other ways to make money – why even bring that up? Fact is people still do it. It’s probably more for the attention seeking and fake adoration than the actual gold, but either way it’s dumb, and it’s ruining an enjoyable part of the game for a lot of people.

Nathanael.4398:

Nonsense! Do you really think people do this for earning money?
There are faster ways to aquire gold for example by completing dungeons or crafting…

This is absolutely not true! Just now, I saw someone named Lej La use macros he got off of that-one-site to scam money from people while claiming he was really playing. He’s only one out of many I’ve seen in the last few weeks (I wonder what caused this suden surge of macroers :s) If people have to use those macros, I wish they’d at least stop lying about it so it doesn’t completely mess with people’s idea of what is actually possible with the instruments. Ughhh.

Every single person I’ve seen use the harp in the last few days has been using a script. Some of them are even citing Gaile’s response as Arenanet allowing macros. Ugh, I hate this game and its players so much. ; – ;

I’ll never understand why people would use macros or why people would ever want something like Lord of the Rings Online’s godawful abc system. It makes the whole thing so pointless. You might as well just download and listen to a midi file.
