It always spikes during events and holidays. Halloween it skyrocketed, lost shores it went up as well. It’s no surprise, the same happened again.

The problem, IMO is it seems to only go up, not down. The conversion rate has been consistently going up since the October event.

Either way, not really a rant, I just don’t understand how it skyrocketed so high so fast. I still remember 26 silver for 100 gems, and that was only in September.

Um around thanks giving it was like 2g + 10-30s. Before the events started it was 1g 72s. It hasn’t been constantly rising.

Does homosexuality in Sylvari feel rather forced?

I feel as if there was an unusual amount of “lesbian” and “homosexual” relationships I don’t feel as if we were over loaded.

Technically speaking the male and female sylvari don’t have the same gender roles as humans nor are there “sex drives” limited to the opposite sex. While they mimic humans in appearance they are very different. Being sylvari are plant based and what you remember from highschool biology it shouldn’t be a stretch that they wouldn’t have firm gender roles.

Overall while i feel as if there were too many same “gender” relationships brought to our attention I feel its a symptom of humanity’s ability to over compensate. For instance someone living on there own/college may act irresponsibly in an effort to explore there new freedoms its the same here. Same “gender” relationships are new and unique and because of that as time goes on we will continue to see more over compensation in all media forms. I think as time goes on ( and assuming same gender relationships become accepted and common place ) the sylvari will still have same gender relationships but it won’t feel as if its so “token same gender relationships”.

I think this type of fantasy race is perfectly feasible and not based solely on “supporting” same gender relationships. I think there culture is fascinating and was a very interesting idea. I think its safe to assume there are some forum readers who hate the fact the sylvari have same “gender” relationships. I think its common place for humans to over compensate in there hate as well. While you dislike the same “gender” practice of the sylvari can you not also respect the idea that there love is more emotional and not physical. You can not only appreciate this just because they don’t do a physical act/behavior ( as much as humans ) that you find offense but also there love/attraction is more personality based. It is a common theme for people to make mistakes based off of lust not just one night stands but feelings of false feelings of love/attachment and not considering them for who they are as a person.

The often over looked thing is vitality. Dont forget to get some armor that has vitality do not go full cleric draconic. you may consider something other then strength oh numbers beacuse 30 toughness on someone with full exotics isn’t exactly a worth while.
