They should have advertised no necro in Lfg or an AP requirement etc, it is so rude to kick people like that.

People that are that elitist must find the game too difficult for them without what they consider the “Perfect” team or something.

People need to start posting their builds with actual DPS parses.

Most of the above people are simply imagining the top DPS classes or maintaining the no longer valid status quo.

I have an 80 of all the classes, and they can all put out a ton of damage. The most dominating of the ones I find are a sword/axe (axe horn) ranger (with me playing, and my build) and my MM necro (staff + D/D) (with me playing, and my build( I use all my minion abilities, before they die, and when they die i make more ASAP). My warrior is also huge dps even after the nerfs.

I say the ranger and necro dominate because they can do things like solo some lvl 50 fractal champs fairy easily, and semi quickly, which the other classes struggle with. One of the reasons is that you can generally face the mobs and attack the entire time since the pet/minions take damage, and you don’t have to run around/dodge/get knocked down so much etc. Also they tend to have full bloodlust, and both of those builds are very high in might stacking.

Other players of course will not have the same build, or me playing, so it will be totally different. I am not saying I am the best or anything, but the way I play, these 2 are the highest dps.

When I form teams, I do not ask for anything specific. Believe it or not, I find this the easiest and most reliable way for speed clears, if you include forming time. Now and then things don’t work out, and someone needs to log in an alt.

When I see people advertising specific classes/builds for dungeons, my first though is that they give the dungeons too much credit, I find them trivial, but they find difficult, so therefore I do not want to play with them.

Bump!

I can’t believe this is intentional, more like an oversight since the wardrobe system came in.

Wish a Dev would have a look at this.

I am having this issue recently, and I know why, as should you, the spoof and phishing e-mail were sent with your addresses as the source, I am really surprised you all have not changed your e-mail address down there at GW2 headquarters, that is the easiest way to get your e-mails through, since new e-mails will not yet be flagged as fraud. If you change your e-mail address often, even just adding a number to the end of it, it would help a lot with this problem.

Also, I am on here to check my in box here on this website, and it is empty, why would you not cc your messages here for us to pick up ? Why have you not e-mailed me also in game?

Now where on earth am I supposed to find my support ticket then since you do not e-mail me here, seem to have a blocked e-mail address with my mail server, and do not seem to have a place for me to look up my tickets ?

I think you’re not clear on e-mail “sender” information. Anyone can send an e-mail as just about anyone in the world. You could get an e-mail that appears to come from The Cat in the Hat or President Obama or Santa Claus, but that doesn’t mean it came from them. In fact, I’m pretty comfortable telling you that that mail did not come from any of those sources.

I can’t see where us changing our legitimate e-mail address would make a bit of difference, when the mails are not coming from us, but can be spoofed to appear to come from us no matter what the real sending address may be. And cycling through constantly changing e-mail addresses is a recipe for disaster!

You can verify the sender of an e-mail by checking its properties or the mail header. Our changing our outbound e-mail address won’t reduce the phishing attempts. Each of us who uses the Internet must protect ourselves by being diligent in checking e-mails and making sure they come from the source they show in the “From” or “Sender” field.

Hi Gail,

I am aware of how e-mails work, and am also aware of being able to change the way the senders address appears, I am a computer scientist/ programmer/ and web developer who runs a fairly large company devoted to the internet.

If you can not see how it would help, then I guess that explains why you have not done it. I was a bit upset when I wrote my post and I am aware it may have come through in my wording, it was not directed at you at all, just a frustration with the situation.

Just to let you know Outlook.com did not have you blocked by IP address, but by e-mail address, so by slightly changing your e-mail address now and then, it would have been sent to my junk box still, but not completely deleted from existence, as my spam filters were doing.

Thank you for your reply just the same, having added you to my safe senders list, e-mails are now coming through, but I will likely have to block you again soon as the phishers I am sure will return, and of course I do not blame you for their actions.

You may want to get your e-mail server’s IPs on some of the big e-mail white lists out there if possible, such as Certified Senders Alliance, The Spamhaus Project, and Certified email, it would eliminate this problem for most. Again no reason for not sending copies to in game e-mails or the e-mails here of the forum, it may be out of your job description to set things up, but it is far from impossible so long as you have a way to give ideas to people who do such things, there are also e-mail services that will send for you for a charge that are white listed, they can use your e-mail address also of course.

Peace to you, and all of your co workers, support has helped me now, and did it quickly and polity, I am thankful for the great service, and trying to help.

I have always run this as administrator, and double checked this again just now, this issue has been going on for me for months now, I really hope someone is working on these things.

Could it be a DNS or IP problem maybe ?

Hi there, I have been unable to access the Gem Store part of the Black Lion Trading Post now for about two weeks, the middle part of the screen that displays the products is grayed out all the time.

All the other parts of the trading post work fine, I just can’t spend my gems.

I haven’t been able to use the Gem store all weekend. The rest of the Trading Post all works fine, but I guess no sales for me.
