Guild Wars 2

Seera – so you’d take the lesser random loot instead of taking the more expensive loot, selling it, and buying things your character could use?

I can honestly say with kitten near certainty that you’re the only person that would take a single, lower level random item over a high-value item they could sell at the trader and get enough gold out of it to buy 4-5 items that are as good or better over the course of leveling.

The scaled loot was a bit of a slap in the face since it’s completely worthless. I picked up the game a few weeks ago and just haven’t had the time to get to 80 yet. Doesn’t mean I didn’t do the entire event like everyone else and – since I was scaled – contributed as much (theoretically). This was one place where Anet could have readily not screwed up and made everyone happy – instead, unlike the bugs which were unintentional, this was an intentional screwing of anyone not playing a lvl80 character.

And Seera – so if someone gave you the following options:
1. Get a $100k car in 1 week/month, but you can sell it for $80k before you get it in a week/month.
2. Get a $5000 car right now.

….you’d take option 2? Really?

Oh god…there’s a third set of reinforcements?

Yup, no event – just ’We’re doing a counteroffensive and go talk to X to get there.’

…complete waste of time. No event, no cutscene, no story – just changes in the quest text at the top of the screen.

I’m thinking that this event coinciding with a ‘free trial weekend’ may have been a bad idea – I know this sure as heck wouldn’t have won me over.

…did you get around the bug by keeping him alive somehow?

So….whatever the update that went out today was, it didn’t fix this. How do I know? I just got the bug for the first time.

Would have been nice not to be able to go down this quest line.
