Guild Wars 2

The random generation of dye given from a gem store pack needs a revamp.

Problem:
Have you ever purchased a gem store dye pack only to get all commons, repeats of dye in the same pack, or ones you already have?

Solution:
Much like the way the birthday dye is handled; Provide a list on use that only shows dyes you do not have in “said” categories, if all dyes are owned in the category for the account using the pack, then disable the purchase from the gem store or ask the user if they want to switch packs/continue with a random from said pack.
The dyes from “non-random” packs would have to be account bound on acquire to prevent people from farming the logic so they always get high value dyes to resell, but still allow for a “random” pack for the luck seekers to try for expensive resale dyes.

Fight Club needs to be moved into some other pvp (like a sPvP deal). Yes it’s a cool idea, but it has no place in WvW when any servers entire borderlands is “flipped”. I know I’ll get flamed etc. Anet needs to address this because in it’s current form using WvW for 1v1 is more like “match fixing” when teams of people sit and do what should be SPvP rather then fight as the mechanic was intended.

This is by far the best match up in a while, All worlds are doing a great job. A lot of us have been playing 17+ hrs in on siting. @eagle, yes I think we all need some sleep

@ loran while transfers helped, we still would have beaten this teir very badly without them.

We were competative with DR in tier 8 until about 1-2 weeks before they left our tier.

Without the transfers; 1. You would still be in T8 and 2. You would not have better then 4x the combined score of two other worlds. I think everyone did a good job in WvWvW but you can’t hide the imbalance with “It would have happened anyway” 50k point spread, sure I would believe that. But look at the score and it speaks for itself.

Just my two cents. Do large server transfers skew the game? Yes. Will everyone leave a losing server? depends on player. Should seven day free transfers be changed? yes, tho not sure what would help it, maybe 30 day cool-down? If anyone thinks that a bottom ranked server can suddenly come to life without huge transfers, well you’ve not played much.
The screenshot shows the imbalance.
GoM/HoD/SF had some epic battles, I personally was on the losing server for all 3 weeks of it, but it was a good challenge. As far as this week goes, Yes; we’ve learned a lot, honed our skills, and had some fun times (Like 4 people taking green lake and blue water) or 6 level 10’s whomping on groups of 5+ level 80’s.
Final note: Disrespecting? it’s a battlefield, I’ve had my corpse danced on etc… Who really cares? Taunts? That’s part of war. If you take it personal then maybe you should turn off the games and visit real life. BTW: real life is far worse then a bunch of “toons” emoting “xxx laughs at you.”
