Guild Wars 2

Tallis.5607:

Wauw, so… if I read this graph correctly…

1,400 people sold 1 ecto.
1 person sold more than 2,544 ectos.

This game has some SERIOUS problems. I can only assume that people that sell more than -say- 1,000 ectos on one day are somehow tracked and, if they do it consistently, are monitored to see where they come from.

Actually, if you look closely, you’ll see that after the 350-ish mark, the plot flatlines…AT ZERO. the 2544 mark is ON the 0 line. In fact, when it gets to the hundreds, you get what is basically a flat line with little blips on it….like people doing tests and then mass selling the ectos they get.

(edited to refine the mark that the flatline happens)

It was done to prevent the servers hoppers. People were bouncing from server to server just to be on the side that was winning. Why? I don’t know…could be many reasons. But there was a big deal about it for a while. In fact, when the change went in, they mentioned it. Maybe there was some sabotage going on, but that isn’t the reason for the 7-day wait between transfers.

I’ll throw my opinion in here, just because I can

The only thing I have any issue with, really, is that your PERSONAL story requires you to group up at the end. If it’s MY personal story, why do I need OTHERS to be there? (At the same time, I must admit that the personal story is something that I do when I need a break for other stuff, not a main point of playing.)

For everything else, I actually prefer to run around with friends, be it working on leveling my own characters or helping someone else do so. The social aspect of the game is why I and my friends migrated here from another game. Even when we are all doing different things, we can chat about whatever. Yeah, it kinda annoys me that I gotta go do WvW for map completion, but that isn’t my focus in this game….my focus is in having fun.

I have found that some professions have an easier time of soloing than others, but it could also be that I have no clues how to play those other professions. (That is also one of the reasons that I die a lot in PVP, I think.)

The TL:DR version? Make the personal story fully solo, leave the rest as is…it’s good to go.
