Guild Wars 2

So since i’ve been using LFG tool for providing taxi to a map for the last few days i noticed there is huge amount of people who don’t read party ad description. I would get people join the party and just stay in it, they don’t say hi or talk at all, they don’t join your map. They just stay in party until they are kicked. Some of them go to PvP or WvW or fractals even after joining the party. And theres hundreds of these people, which to me is just bizzare. Anyways, has anyone else experienced something like that? And should i report them for LFG abuse?

This game doesn’t have things needed to make player addicted in my opinion. Crappy skins,useless weapon stats, and content that rewards you with trash instead of something more valuable. After a while you realize that spending hours of your life to gain few gold an hour is just not worth it.If the game wasnt so much “pay 2 win” then maybe ok, i would spend hours of my life farming that gold trying to get that cool skin, but they are without any meaning since everyone with money can buy them from TP instead of play the game to get.

Thats the issue with this game, not even lack of content but that skins which is the endgame?? here can be gained with real life money. Until they introduce something like “kill wurm x times to get this cool skin that cant be gained any other way” i wont be addicted. This game needs a grind that is account bound. For example farm 30000 geodes to buy this skin that can only be recieved by trading geodes for it. Until then no, i will only login to talk to people and nothing else.

Ban those exploiters or they will keep doing it.

Nerf the event and they’ll find a new one…

Or we could just make all events rewarding and remove DR.

Just sayin’

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the real issue here is not the players, it’s the design.

That is why timer should be changed. Make timer SAME when you win OR fail the event.

Yes, the timer should be changed to 3 min 30 seconds if the event succeeds! That way people get to farm, and event gets to be completed.

Honestly I don’t feel that would be an appropriate solution because you get a good amount of bags when event scales up. Imo leave timer as is and change fail to normal timer so no benefit is gained from failing and you get the last three champion drops if you succeed. So more bags if you win. (and thanks for sarcasm)

So what you are saying is “Please anet nerf this farm because its too profitable”. Not everyone plays TP or can afford to buy gold with real money like you. You gave perfect solution to the problem, and if ArenaNet increases fail event timer then that will be nothing more but proof that they want us to buy gems with real money.

What is the issue here? Can you not proceed with living story if event fails?

Bring popcorn for the rage.

Pretty much this. I’ve seen less rage in League of Legends

This is why you should turn off or not pay attention to local chat. It is seriously more toxic than league of legends, and i imagine there is more extreme flaming going on through /whisper too.

Shivan.9438:

What I’d like to know, does Arena Net consider this an actual exploit? Something they’d ban people for doing? Links to any official comments by developers or staff?

You wont get banned for it, if they ban one person they have to ban thousands of other farmers which wont happen. Then you have people who exploit dungeons too, if they start banning people for exploiting the game will become a ghost town very quickly.By the way, Anet is very well aware of this event. They deleted few other threads already on this subject, so they’re aware. Yet they didn’t say its bannable or that we shouldn’t do it. They didn’t patch it. So anet is not completely innocent in this entire thing either.

Yes, they drop from any champ bag

Lol so being afk is botting now? Just report exploit and move on.

Dont post about this, mods already removed 3 other topics.

I hope they do nerf it to the ground and perma ban those players that have relentlessly exploited it to hell this past few weeks then perhaps Cursed Shore can return to its normal eventing.. I mean its not like there aren’t enough champs to legitimately farm on the ANET rotation for that map.

They will nerf event soon for sure, i cant see it last. But it may not be priority since the event can succeed quite easily. Most maps that run this event dont last for longer than an hour half an hour because there is always some who capture the camp. As for people getting banned for it, lets be real. That wont ever happen. If they ban people for “exploiting” they should ban everyone who exploits something. Im looking at you dungeon players.

Oh please.. half an hour.. yeah right.
It runs all day long, when one tag drops another takes over the conveyor belt.. as some numbers drop off they simply re-advertise to get others into the map… it runs most of the day, some maps all day.

If it was that easy to counter it, then there wouldn’t be a need to get ANET’s attention to the issue. Lets see you try countering an event that is scaled up to its highest point (lvl 84 I believe) by the huge failtrain zerg.. jumping in the circle to try and defend the NPC;s and run the timer is practically impossible and in most cases is a one hit situation.

Failed smoke screen attempt.

Ok, let me just say i was speaking of EU servers. Maybe US servers are different, and there are people who farm it all day but that is not the case on EU. I have yet to find an event during the day that does not manage to succeed in under an hour and half. This gets better after midnight when maps can last for 2-3 hours at best. Anyways, what is the purpose of completing event? To get reward? To get rewards from the chain of events that follow? If you’re after rewards just fail the event. And if you’re against the exploit itself then you can always not play the event and go to another map where the event is completed, just go to LFG and click on one of the dozens “LF blix” adverts.

Like Jarrix said, go there 60-40 min before it starts and you will get it for sure. I have yet to fail it because i show up there an hour before it starts. And if that is something you cant do, then try using LFG 20-15 min before event starts for taxi.

So i went to check it out after seeing this post. Apparently you can get upto 60 bags per hour from that event. Anet nerfs incoming? Also, alot of toxic players in zerg. I think we will definitely see this event changed in some way, maybe not now but soon.

Happened to me too awhile ago. Why has anet not fixed this yet i dont know, maybe they dont read bugs forums.

notebene.3190:

This is still an issue. I got that chest maybe once or twice. I’ve completed the event numerous times, and realize the bonus chest is likely only available once a day, but other than the one or two times I got it, it largely fails to reward the chest when completing the event successfully even once during a given day.

I got the bonus chest twice in a row in 1 hour once. So it surely isn’t once per day. But yeh, the event is def bugged, i probably get the chest once per 80 drakkar champs kills. Dont expect it to get fixed anytime soon though.

I actually experienced similar mf related bug, the MF went 1% backwards.So i had 111% but the next time i looked it was 110%.

Of course it’s not enough, but it is FREE. You paid for the game only, and you got your money’s worth most likely. So i dont see why you and everyone else complain so much. Stop thinking of free living story or even paid expansion as something that has to be given to you.Also, you expecting quantity and quality of free content is just stupid.

Whether it’s free content or not is irrelevant, This is a business and if you owned a buisness and had a 1000 customers which dropped to 500 and gradually continued to drop you would wonder where you was going wrong.

Anet needs to keep people interested in this game and sadly they are failing to do that.

Like another poster below you said, Do you have any evidence for that? You probably dont, and yes you’re correct that you would wonder what you did wrong, which makes me think that people are not really leaving the game because if they did, anet would stop releasing gem store crap and maybe release more game content(which seems to be problem with people who leave the game) and fix their 1 milion bugs for example.

ArenaNet has information on how many people leave/join,buy their gems and they are making profit. So why change when you are profiting off the current state of the game? When they start getting less or lose profit they will change and you will see better and more content in the game. Until then, you will keep getting gem store,farm nerfs and little content.

Of course it’s not enough, but it is FREE. You paid for the game only, and you got your money’s worth most likely. So i dont see why you and everyone else complain so much.

Buy Low Sell High, for example look on this website what items you can buy for low amount of gold and sell high(http://www.gw2tp.com/). Also this site may come useful too(http://tpcalc.com/). However, dont expect to gain any significant profit just by using that site and blindly following it(like buying/selling whatever item is profitable). That wont work, you will need to know how to read the data provided to you plus a little bit of research on item before you start flipping it. Also, this site may help you a bit to get started too(http://blacklionsprofit.com/guild-wars-2-gold-guide/).

Romek.4201:

we make this money cause we invested alooot of our time (4-5 hours per day since release for me) in the tp and cause we dont tell anyone how to do it – thats the secret^^

wait for the creditcard heros here in forum who buy there gold – they will tell you how to play the tp (they are the loudest with tips you will not miss them^^)

You’re right that nobody will teach him how to flip “for profit”, its something he will have to figure out himself. But tutorials explaining basics on how to earn money on TP are widely available and not secret at all.

Could it be something like this?

Did you list sell it, or sell it by “meet highest buyer”?

I get 2-3 a day when i farm,i farm champs in FGS for 3-4 hours, farm karka vets in Southsun which if you farm them for 2 hours will more than likely drop exotic trinket, Farm Mobs in Orr they can drop sometimes too. If you farm mobs/champs for 6-7 hours you will get 2-3 exotics a day easy.

Buttercup.5871:

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature

Seriously though, it is intended. Apparently, people used to avoid the TP tax by selling items not at the price of the highest buyer, but a few silver.

So if i go and click on “meet highest buyer” click on sell button and it sells for 3s 66c(when highest buyer is not 3s 66c) its somehow my fault? That doesnt make much sense, considering i did nothing to try and sell it for 3s 66c.This isn’t a feature.So i will say it again, i click on item(the item is already on meet highest buyer), i click sell and it sells for 3s 66c when highest buyer isnt anywhere close to 3s.

So i was selling crap items today when this happened.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/oJoUFfT.png[/img]. As you can see from the screenshot i sold 3 elaborate totems for 3s 66c(meet highest buyer). This is not possible, because the elaborate totems buy order is @ 34s. Now if you look closely you will also see that i sold Destroyer Core previously for 3s 66c. Exact amount the elaborate totems was sold for.
Also, its not just a visual bug, i did not recieve expected 80s.

How to replicate bug?: Try selling really fast.It could be that the selling fast + (server lag) causes it.

Really now? Was running train in Frostgorge Sound and after waypointing to Skyheight got placed into another map instance. And no this isn’t first time this has happened either, it happened at least 5 times so far.Not sure if map specific, but it has always happened in Frostgorge to me.
