Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this will work for you or not but it has helped me a few times.
Control panel>Internet options>Advanced> scroll to the bottom and hit reset for IE(Yes, even if you don’t use IE).
Try that out and see if it works.

+1 to Koehai’s post, very useful tool. Also, that site became popular because of ; http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc
Worth checking out, they have resources on the side that might help as well.

Mix and matched gear, kind of a modern He-man look.

As a guitarist, obviously a guitar. But I’d love to see lots more, enough to make a full band

I wore MF gear as soon as I was able to get my hands on it. I ran everything with it on for the first month and a half at least. Now, I wear none and get real nice loot, dare I say even better than before? Yep, indeed I do and quite a few guildies/friends have said the same.

So, the impact of MF was not justifiable by us; Of course everyone has different opinions on it.

Use at least a 12 character password, never give your password to anyone else(Not even your best friend, girl friend, mom, dad etc). Don’t use any obvious passwords, like pet names or other.

You already stated you don’t download anything, so that’s a good step in the right direction. Always scan everything you download, if you ever do. Basically use common sense and stay away from sites that are deemed dangerous.

I use Lastpass, been using it for ages now and it manages my passwords great, I don’t even know my passwords. So I would recommend a good password manager, so you don’t even have to remember any and you can even generate secure passwords.

How do people hack? These days it’s mostly cracking or script kiddies, but I will not get into any of that. There are too many ways to do it, best to just secure yourself and be as safe as you can.

You are correct in your question, one rune will only give you the first bonus.
To get the second, you have to use 2 of the same named rune.(Yes, it has to be the exact same name rune)
Hope that helps.

You had me at fishing. Seriously, I know it’s been suggested several times but it would be a great addition to the game.

Gonna keep an eye on this so hopefully someone mentions when it’s fixed.
