Guild Wars 2

Shortage.5427:

So the game is plagued by casuals who want to downgrade this game to a fashion contest. This actually quiet sad.

Gear progression is the most boring thing someone could come up with in MMOGs and not motivating at all. I hope it gets never into GW2 and I actually prefer real content over gear grind.
I am far from having all my alternate characters equipped with ascended gear and I specifically play GW2 because there is no gear grind (in terms of new tiers), and they promised not to introducing a higher tier.
Actually ascended should not even be in the game and introducing another tier again, would really make me consider quitting the game. I joined because they promised there would not be a repetitive gear grind:

…
So much of traditional MMO combat is rote and repetitive. You execute the same strategy over and over again, just augmented over time with better and better gear. After a while it starts to feel like you’re playing a spreadsheet.
…
Our games aren’t about preparing to have fun, or about grinding for a future fun reward. Our games are designed to be fun from moment to moment.
…

I also have this Bug.

Especially if you use different Builds/Weapons on the same character for different game modes this is really annoying.

Please fix it. :-/

Again, the server can’t tell if you accidentally disconnected or logged out.

Ah, but it can. Itentional logout means the game client tells the server that i logged out. (logout button etc.) a disconnect means my connection idles and disappears due to timeout.
This issue can be fixed, on a disconnect simply save the ‘slot’ for 5min then clear it.

How then would you tell the difference between a disconnect due to internet issues and a disconnect due to purposely alt+f4 or simply pulling the networking cable to break connection? No matter how you set up the system, people would game it by faking disconnects if it would give them an edge, even if the “edge” is just collecting the rewards with doing only half the “work”.

AFAIK Alt+F4 sends a termination request to the application, not a kill signal. So GW2 could still send a logout message.
The question is what whould the ‘edge’ of a disconnect really be? If they just wanted a reward without doing the work: Just idle around in a group after hitting Tequatl once.
I just do not see any reason why someone should ‘fake’ a disconnect.

Just play WvW, you can earn Proof of Heroics there and buy the hero points from the Horoics Notary:

You can unlock the elite just by playing WvW.

Yeah title said actually pretty much everything. I would put these Traits on baseline, maybe as a levelup reward after you hit lvl 40 or something like that. Instead of these traits we could have some more game changing things.

Sorry, I still need it for my Jumping Puzzles, unless they allow me to glide there.

Same problem here.
